MILANSKI, P.E. <br /> May 7, 1991 <br /> Mrs. Chandra Russell <br /> City Engineer <br /> #1 Civic Center Plaza <br /> Decatur, IL 62523 <br /> Subject: Dipper Lane Improvement <br /> City Project 9026 <br /> BGM 90030 <br /> Dear Chan: <br /> Per your request, I have evaluated the low bid submitted by <br /> Fisher-Stoune Inc. for the subject project. Their bid of $290,586.75 <br /> was 11. 86 percent over the estimate. <br /> A review of the unit prices does not reveal any unbalanced <br /> items, but merely that they were consistently over the estimate for <br /> almost all items. The two bids received were by contractors who <br /> generally do not pursue street improvement projects. I believe that <br /> this fact has a lot to do with the prices received when you compare <br /> the unit prices with those submitted March 28, 1991 for a similar size <br /> road project. Enclosed herewith is that tabulation for your review. <br /> In talking to the contractors who generally bid on road pro- <br /> jects, but did not on this project; it is obvious that they are all <br /> busy at this time. Inasmuch as these other projects will be winding <br /> down in late summer, I would recommend that the City re-bid at that <br /> time, with the hope of attracting bids from Sewer Inc. , Illinois <br /> Valley Paving Co. , Otto Baum and Sons, Freesen Inc. and Merrill Con- <br /> tractors. <br /> If you have any questions, please contact me at your con- <br /> venience. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> Bainbridge, Gee, Milanski & Assoc. , Inc. <br /> By: ``l.� �c `jl� _ <br /> � � <br /> Michael H.
