AIgona Street Reconstruction
INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution provides for the award of the Algona Street Reconstruction
Project.
DISCUSSION
The project will consist of the complete reconstruction of the existing base and pavement
surface for Algona Street from St. Joseph Street to Grace Street. The existing street from
St. Joseph Street to Bennett will remain its present width of 31 feet wide, while that section
from Bennett to Grace will be widened from 25 feet to 28 feet. All of the watermain valves
along Algona Street will be replaced, along with all of the sanitary sewer manholes. A fire
hydrant of the corner of Algona and Bennett has been hit several times because of its
location. This hydrant will be moved to a safer location and the sharp bend in the street will
be modified for smoother traffic flow.
Sealed bids were received for the project on May 24, 2001. The results of the bidding
process are as follows:
Horsfield Construction, Inc.
Tschiggfrie Excavating Co.
Portzen Construction
Stewart Construction, Inc.
$553,669.60
575,295.70
583,433.97
697,173.80
The Iow bid submitted by Horsfield Construction, Inc. of Epworth, Iowa, is 5:55% underthe
engineer's estimate. The completion date for the project is October 30, 2001.
RECOMMENDATION
I would recommend that the City Council award the contract to Horsfield Construction, Inc.
of Epworth, Iowa, in the amount of $553,669.60. This is also the night of the Public
Hearing on the project, and the adoption of the resolution of necessity.

funds. The bid represents a possible 5.13% reduction in the anticipated assessments to
the property owners. Final assessments will be computed after project completion and the
determination of actual construction costs. Low- to moderate-income property owners
subject to street assessment will be eligible for financial assistance ranging from 20 to 100
percent of the street assessment for the owner-occupied resident property depending of
