ACTUAL COST VS. BUDGET:

Bids for the PMS 2020 Project were received by the City of Gillette Purchasing Division at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, February 5, 2020.  Three (3) were received and read aloud.  The results of those bids were as follows:

Simon Contractors                $2,646,345.65       asphalt alternate for 6th St

Powder River Construction   $2,616,212.48*      concrete alternate for 6th St

Croell                                     $2,969,176.35       asphalt alternate for 6th St

The apparent low bidder was Powder River Construction at the bid opening, however,

our consultant discovered a math error on the bid from Powder River Construction.  In accordance with the standard specifications in Section 200, Instructions to Bidders, any discrepancies within the bid form (math errors) then the unit pricing of the work shall govern the bid total.  The error was in the amount of $80,515.40 which increased the grand total of Powder River Construction's bid to $2,698,518.83.  The correction causes Simon Contractors to become the low bidder.

 

 

The bid results, with the corrected sum* are tabulated below.  Also noted is the pavement alternative bid by each contractor for 6th Street.

Simon Contractors                $2,646,345.65       asphalt alternate for 6th St
