Dear Jared,
Bids for the above -referenced Project were opened on March 7, 2025. Three Bids were received with the
resulting Bid tabulation enclosed. The low Bid of $284,000 was less than the ENGINEER'S opinion of
probable construction cost.
Tricon General Construction, Inc. of Dubuque, Iowa, was the apparent low Bidder at $284,000. The Bid
included a Bid Bond for 10 percent. The Bid is deemed to be responsive.
Strand Associates, Inc.' has previously worked with Tricon General Construction, Inc. on projects for
the City of Dubuque. For those projects, the City of Dubuque determined Tricon General Construction,
Inc. to be responsible.
If you determine that Tricon General Construction, Inc. is a responsible Bidder after your evaluation of
their qualifications, we recommend proceeding with award of the Contract in accordance with
Section 00200 Instructions to Bidders.
Sincerely,
STRAND ASSOCIATES, INC.®
