ACCEPT BID FROM SIR LINES-A-LOT IN THE AMOUNT OF $45,472.12 FOR THE 2017 PAVEMENT MARKINGS, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 17-03
Background
Bids were received at 10:30 AM, March 21, 2017, for Project No. 17-03. A total of four bids were received ranging from $45,472.12 to $58,026.63. The three lowest bidders and Engineer’s estimate are as follows:

|
Warning Lites of Minnesota, Inc. |
$52,881.69 |
|

Bids have been checked and tabulated, and it has been determined that Sir Lines-A-Lot of Edina, Minnesota is the lowest bidder. This contractor has not worked for the City of Blaine on previous contracts but has successfully completed contracts for Anoka County.
I recommend the low bid be accepted and a contract entered into with Sir Lines-A-Lot. City Council is also asked to approve a 5% contingency to bring the total project budget to $47,745.73. The funding source for this project is the General Fund and there are sufficient funds to cover these costs.
Recommendation
By motion, adopt the resolution.
