CITY HALL PRESENT : Gay Easton Chuck Rodgers Dave Michael Laurel Haggart Dirk Kroll Miles Walton Dave Mosser Jason Riddle Bud Johnson Jim Flisrand Barbara Campbell 1) Bids for rehab of concrete and steel reservoirs were reviewed. Barb Campbell presented the bid options for Phase I (steel reservoir) and Phase II (concrete reservoir) on Reservoir Rehabilitation. Options: 1) Reject Bids 2) Accept Bids 3) Accept modified version of bid. Discussion. Dave Mosser explained why the bids came in higher than the Engineer's estimates. The cover over the concrete reservoir is approximately $90,000 over and the coating in concrete tank is approximately $70,000 over. These were two big items. Dave also indicated that we could negotiate with the contractor to see if there could be any reduction in the bid price. A general discussion was held on: 1) SRF Funding- to reject bids and rebid everything this winter. 2) One project or two. If we should accept a portion of bid concrete reservoir and reject steel tank and rebid with the Water Plant. 3) Committee prefers the concrete tank this fall. Dave Masser agrees. Committee recommends accepting the bids as is and negotiating with Dick Anderson to see if the bid price can be reduced with concrete tank being done this fall (1997) and the steel reservoir being done next spring (1998). 2) Dave Mosser spoke on Morrison/Maierle's present position on payment for engineering services for design. Discussion. The Committee recommends balance due at this time would be paid when bonds were sold for each phase of the project. Engineering for the reservoir when funds were available from the bond sale and the balance when funds were available after bond sale when the Water Plant is bid. Respectfully submitted, Dave Michael
