Impro~-ements program. Authorization ~~-as granted under the condition that either the bids for the
Industrial Park Area Impro~-ements project ~~-ere fw-orable, or if the Cit<~ ~~-as able to obtain economic
stimulus funding through the MPCA. With the Industrial Park Area Impro~-ements project being as
competiti~-e as the~~ ~~-ere, staff proceeded ~~ith soliciting bids for the Three Ri~-ers Pond Storm~~-ater
Di~-ersion project.
Bids ~~-ere opened on Tuesda~~, September 1, 2009. At total of 15 companies bid on the project. The
estimated construction cost for this project ~~-as $91,107.50. A listing of the bids recei~-ed is as follo~~-s:

Additional Information and Staff Recommendation
The Cit<~ learned in August from the MPCA that although the project ~~-ould qualify for stimulus
funding, that the pot of mone~~ from ~~-hich grants ~~-ere being disbursed had been exhausted, thereb~~
onl~~ leaping a lo~~- interest loan option. The loan option brings ~~ith it significant federal reporting and
tracking requirements, as ~~-e11 as federal pre~-ailing ~~-age requirements in exchange for a ~-er~~ small
amount of interest swings o~-er the Cit<~'s traditional bonded construction process, such that the
program ~~-ould not be financiall~~ ad~-antageous to the Cit<~ for a contract of this caliber, as both staff
time in tracking these items as ~~-e11 as construction prices ~~-ould increase, offsetting an5~ potential
swings. Therefore, it is staff's recommendation to proceed ~~-ith the w~-ard of the contract to Minger
Construction, Inc, and that the project is funded from bonded funds for the Cit<~'s 2009 construction
program.
