Resolution rejecting bid for the Spin Lofts – Grading and Sanitary Sewer project. Project # CD23-03A |
|
| | | | | | | | Background/Discussion
On September 29, 2022, one bid was received through the City bidding software, IonWave, from Larson Backhoe Services.
A signed bid bond is required to be submitted with a bid. The bid bond submitted by this contractor was unsigned, therefore the bid is considered non-responsive. It is recommended that the bid be rejected and the project re-advertised for bids.
In 2009, the City began acquisition and demolition of structures on the three acres of land located at 21st Avenue and South 6th Street utilizing Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Neighborhood Stabilization (NSP) funds. The properties were considered blighted and/or in foreclosure at the time.
In January 2022, the City issued an updated RFP for the redevelopment of the three acres. Arch Icon submitted a two phase proposal called Spin Lofts with a total of 80 multi-family rental units to be built over a period of up to four years. Phase 1 includes a 4-story building with 50 units with a unit mix of one-, two- and four- bedrooms for low to moderate income families in the area.
On March 10, 2022, the City was awarded a grant from U.S. Representative Axne in the amount of $904,336. The City applied for the funding to construct improvements at 21st Avenue and South 6th Street, making it ready for development. The project will reconstruct 21st Avenue, east of South 6th Street and prepare the site for building construction, including a significant volume of fill to raise the site approximately three feet.
The project will be constructed in two phases. CD23-03A includes the fill and sanitary sewer improvements to serve the development.
The project was included in the FY23 CIP with a budget of $900,000 in Federal funds. |
