FIRM
BID
$183,582.95
Bituminous Roadways
Mr. Kaldunski stated that the bid was approximately $40,000 above engineer's
estimate because the bid included dewatering for the sewer, which was not necessary.
Mr. Kaldunski indicated that the contractor was willing to reduce the bid.
Administrator Thompson stated that according to the City Attorney the bid could
not be reduced. Mayor Akin asked if delaying the project would jeopardize the
improvement bond. Administrator Thompson stated the City was obligated to spend
10% of the proceed within 6 months of the sale and 85% within 3 years. It was
the consensus of the Council to receive a written opinion from Springsted, Inc.
before making a decision on the bid. Motion by Akin, second by Sprute to receive
the aforementioned bid. APIF, motion carried.
4. Administrator Thompson informed the Council that all bond proceeds from the
fire hall project had been spent. Mr. Thompson indicated that the cash balance
remaining in the fund was for debt service. City Engineer Kaldunski stated that
he had not received any quotes from the project at this time. The Council directed
staff to analyze the August financial statement to identify potential funds and
to obtain 2 written quotes.
5. Administrator Thompson stated that because of a mix up, the County Road #64
matter was not on the previous County Board meeting. Mr. Thompson stated that
it was his intention to pursue the matter at the next County Board meeting.
