from Nobest Construction of Westminister. This bid was in the amount of
$33,390.85 which is 47% over the engineer's estimate of $22,708.00 and 42.7% over
the budgeted amount of $23,400.00. The City Council has two alternatives:

Due to the receipt of only one bid and the engineer's estimate being exceeded by
47%, staff recommends that the single bid be rejected with re-advertisement of
bids at a later date.
