ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER MAR 2 0 1975
Date:
•
ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER, waiving the competitive bidding requirements of Minn.
Stat. Section 471.345 and authorizing the City Purchasing Agent to award
a contract to Twin City Shipyard, Inc. , 1303 Red Rock Road, St. Paul, Minn. ,
for the repair of a sheer fence structure protecting the Robert Street
Bridge pier on the east bank of the Mississippi River.
WHEREAS, the upstream portion of the City' s sheer fence was torn out by a
barge in June, 1974 along with an adjacent section of sheer fence belonging
to the Chicago & Northwestern Transportation Company, and repair of the
City' s sheer fence was not feasible or practicable until the Chicago &
Northwestern Transportation Company' s fence was repaired, and
WHEREAS, on or about March 15, 1975, the Chicago & Northwestern Transpor-
tation Company awarded a contract to Twin City Shipyard, Inc. for the
repair of the sheer fence and such repairs are to begin during the week of
March 23, 1975 and to be completed in approximately one week, and
WHEREAS, the Bridge Department of the Department of Public Works believes
that flooding of the Mississippi River will occur shortly after April 1,
• 1975 and that such flooding will result in further damage to the sheer
fence and damage to the unprotected Robert Street pier on the east bank of
the river, and
WHEREAS, the City has received a bid from Twin City Shipyard, Inc. to
repair the sheer fence at a cost of $11,000.00 if such repairs are done
in conjunction with the repairs on the Chicago & Northwestern, Transpor-
tation Company' s fence, and it appears that said cost is reasonable and
within the range of estimates made by other persons specializing in
bridge repair, and
WHEREAS, the time required to advertise for bids for the repair work to
the City' s sheer fence would extend into the first week of April, and
such delay would prevent the fence from being repaired until the flood
waters recede,
