Bid Summary Form 2018-10.pdf

This document is a Bid Summary Form from the City of Ashland's Engineering Division for the East and West Forks Project – Bridge Replacement (Project No. 2018-10a), detailing bid proposals received on April 24, 2025. Three contractors submitted bids: Suulutaaq Inc ($320,999), Dietrich Const. LLC ($356,780), and Knife River Materials ($442,000). All bidders provided 10% bid bonds, acknowledged two addenda, demonstrated pre-qualification with three previous work examples, and submitted completed bid forms. Two of the three bidders (Dietrich Const. LLC and Knife River Materials) were deemed responsive, with qualifications for bridge manufacturers, while Suulutaaq Inc was marked as non-responsive.

The bid summary reveals that each contractor used different bonding companies (MarshMcLennan, Lexon, and Liberty Mutual respectively) and submitted identical base and total bids. The procurement process required bidders to meet specific criteria, including providing evidence of previous work, bridge manufacturer qualifications, and complete bid documentation. No alternate bids were submitted, and the project appears to be a bridge replacement initiative with strict compliance requirements for documentation and technical qualifications. The Engineer's Estimate was not available (marked as NA), and the competitive bidding process resulted in a range of proposals with a $121,001 difference between the lowest and highest bids.
