RE: Bids Rudy Road Improvements
Van Buren, Arkansas
Dear Mayor Bell:
We have reviewed the bids received today on the above referenced
project. The low "Base Bid" was from Crawford Construction Co. in
the amount of $86,440.30. This is for the work as originally
designed.
The low "Alternate Bid" was from Forsgren, Inc. in the amount of
$95,777.00. This is for an alternate to scarify and recompact the
entire road before the overlay. This option will provide a better
road for the future. A cost overrun could be possible with this
alternate if problems are found during scarification of the existing
pavement surface.
We would recommend that the "Alternate Bid" in the amount of
$95,777.00 be accepted and the contract awarded to Forsgren, Inc.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
I do plan on being at the council meeting tonight, if any questions
arise during the meeting.
I would recommend that we return the bond (cashier's check) from
Tarkington Construction.
Sincerely,
HOFF PRIEUR ASSOCIATES, INC.
