Council accepts low bid, awards 2025 street improvement contract and sets assessment hearing for April 15
Summary
The council awarded the 2025 street improvement contract to the low bidder and declared project costs to be assessed; the assessment hearing was set for April 15, 2025. Staff estimated the project at about $2.6 million, funded by CIP, assessments and utilities.
The Rosemount City Council on March 18 accepted bids and awarded the contract for the 2025 Street Improvement Project and set an assessment hearing for April 15, 2025 to consider the portion of project costs to be assessed to properties.
Bid award and funding: City staff reported three bids were received and that Minnesota Paving and Materials was the low bidder. Staff estimated the total project cost at about $2.6 million—approximately 11% below the engineer’s estimate—and said the project will include alternates for sewer lateral lining and adjustments to bump‑outs at two 140 Fifth Street intersections. Funding sources cited include the street CIP, assessments to affected properties and utility funds (water, sewer, stormwater).
Assessment hearing: The council declared the cost to be assessed and set the assessment hearing for April 15; mailed notices and a newspaper notice will precede the hearing and property owners will receive individual assessment notices.
Why it matters: The project will reconstruct streets within the city and includes sidewalk, utility and pavement work; affected property owners will be notified and have an opportunity at the April hearing to review proposed assessments.
Council action: Councilmember Klimpel moved and Councilmember Freske seconded resolutions accepting bids, awarding the contract and declaring costs to be assessed and calling the assessment hearing. The motion carried 4–0.
Ending: Staff said they reviewed qualifications of low bidders and confirmed they meet the city’s requirements and expect construction and scheduling to follow standard city procurement and project management procedures.
