RE: Award Bid to Berglund Construction Company for Foundation Repair and Improvements
for Public Museum($69,900.00)
BACKGROUND
The Public Museum has experienced major water infiltration in basement areas for many years.
However, within the last three to five years water issues have gotten progressively worse, especially
during spring thaw and heavy rains. As a result,the Common Council approved$200,000.00 in the 2019
CIP Program to determine the origins of the infiltration, develop specifications for repair work and
recommend improvements to overall site drainage to help mitigate water issues. The City engaged the
professional services of building envelope firm Facility Engineering, Inc. (Madison) to assess the
foundation infiltration and prepare bid specifications for the repairs. This memo addresses the bid for
the foundation repairs and improvements. Under a separate contract, a landscape plan was created by
Ken Saki Design as part of site restoration. The plan coordinates with foundation drainage. Site
restoration will be bid at a later date and site restoration will commence in 2021 when weather allows.
ANALYSIS
Working in conjunction with the Facility Engineering and Museum personnel,Purchasing reviewed and
prepared bid specifications for this project. Bids were due July 30, 2020. While several contractors
attended the pre-bid meeting, only one bid was received. The bid tab is attached. After reviewing the
bid it is the consensus of Facility Engineering and City staff that the sole bid from Berglund Construction
Company met the minimum bid specifications for this project. This work will be done in close
cooperation with the Department of Public Works; City crews will perform foundation excavation and
backfill. Pending weather, it is anticipated foundation work will be completed in October.
FISCAL IMPACT
This project was allocated $200,000.00 in the 2020 CIP. The fiscal impact of this bid is $69,900.00.
Factoring in engineering fees there are sufficient funds for this award. This award will be charged to
A/N#: 03231070 7214 63012 Buildings- "Foundation Repair and Site Restoration." The remaining funds
for this project will be used to undertake the site restoration and landscape plan in 2021.
