HWEI Job No. VB9674
Dear Mayor Riggs:
Attached is a copy of the advertisement for bids and a certified tabulation for bids received
on February 6, 1997, for the referenced project. The low bid was from Forsgren, Inc. of Fort Smith
with a bid of $909,730.00. It is our opinion that the bids received are competitive and reflect the cost
of constructing this project in todays marketplace. Therefore, we recommend the City award the
contract to Forsgren, Inc. Attached is a copy of the contract for your signature.
Due to budget constraints it was decided by the City to delete all work South of Rena Road.
Change Order No. 1 reflects these changes and reduces the contract price from $909,730.00 to
$506,166.45. The contractor is in agreement with these changes. Attached is a copy of Change
Order No. 1 for your signature.
If you have any questions or comments, please advise.
Very truly yours,
HAWKINS -WEIR ENGINEERS, INC.
