City Council award the contract for the Vermont Drive/Everett Drive Improvements,
Assessment District No. 99-1, Project No. 52039, to C.A. Rasmussen, Inc. in the amount of
$729,270.83 and authorize a 15 percent contingency. Authorize the City Manager or

BACKGROUND
This project provides a new storm drain, sanitary sewer mainline with house laterals, and
completely reconstructed street improvements for the Vermont Drive/Everett Drive
Improvements, Assessment District No. 99-1.
On October 12, 1999, the City Council approved the plans and specifications and authorized
the advertisement for construction bids. On November 8, 1999, the City Clerk's office
received bids for the project (see Bid Results). The Engineer's Estimate for the construction
of this project is $714,122.00. The lowest bid was submitted by C.A. Rasmussen, Inc. in the
amount of $729,270.83.
Staff recommends that the project be awarded to C.A. Rasmussen, Inc., the lowest
responsive bidder. Staff further recommends that the contract price, as well as any
contingency amounts, be payable from proceeds of assessment bonds to be issued in
conjunction with funds set aside previously by the Council in Account No. S2039001 for this
specific purpose. C.A. Rasmussen, Inc. possesses a State Contractor's License and is in
good standing with the State Contractor's License Board. The bid of $729,270.83 was
reviewed for accuracy and conformance to the contract documents and was found to be
complete. A minor irregularity in the bid documents was determined to be in conformance
with the City's guidelines and was confirmed by the City Attorney. The references
indicated that this contractor has performed work to their satisfaction.

At the regular City Council meeting held on October 12, 1999, staff was directed to include
the cost of construction of a sewer main extension to serve the private community of Oak
Knoll Estates as a bid alternative. The Oak Knoll residents were informed of the price
quoted by the low bidder and rejected the option of adjusting the district to add the
additional costs to their assessments. The original district plans include provisions for
sewer laterals for each of the Oak Knoll residents. The Oak Knoll residents believe that the
City should contribute to the cost of bringing the sewer line closer to their homes.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT

previously approved $400,000.00, which has been budgeted in Account No. 52039001 for

bonds under the 1915 Act.
