RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that City Council award a contract for W.O. 22-07 Mullowney Lane Improvements to Askin Construction in the amount of $3,481,496.

BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)

W.O. 22-07 Mullowney Lane Improvements will reconstruct and improve Mullowney Lane from the Midland Road/South Frontage Road intersection south to Elysian Road. Mullowney Lane will be constructed to a 3-lane street generally including a two-way-left-turn-lane, sidewalk on the west side, 10-foot wide multi-use trail on the east side), curb and gutter, storm drain, irrigation, streetlights, and a signalized intersection at the Elysian Road/Mullowney Lane intersection.  A landscaped, traffic-calming intersection median is included at the Holiday Avenue/Mullowney Lane Intersection located mid-way between the South Frontage Road and Elysian Road.

The project was advertised on December 16, 23, 30, and January 6, and 13, 2023 in the Yellowstone County News and on the City's website. Bids were opened on January 17, 2023. Two bids were received.  Askin Construction submitted the lowest responsible bid.

ALTERNATIVES

City Council may:
  • Award W.O. 22-07 Mullowney Lane Improvements to Askin Construction in the amount of $3,481,396; or,
  • Not award a contract and reject all bids. If the contract is not awarded, the street will continue to degrade and the safety improvements such as missing pedestrian facilities, streetlights, and the Elysian/Mullowney intersection improvements cannot be constructed.

FISCAL EFFECTS

The following bids were received:
Contractor Base Bid
Askin Construction $3,481,496.00
Knife River $5,169,469.55

The project was budgeted in FY23 using Gas Tax, Street Maintenance District, Developer Contributions, and Assessment funds. $60,470 will be reimbursed by property owners for water, sewer, and storm utility stubs to proposed development. There is sufficient budget to award the contract.
