MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />JUNE 13, 2000 <br />LITTLE <br />CANADA <br />ROAD <br />IMPROVEMENT <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Morelan. <br />Ayes (4) Scalze, Morelan, Fahey, Pedersen. <br />LaValle left the meeting at 8:25 p.m. <br />Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. <br />Fahey pointed out the recommendation of the City Administrator to award <br />the bid for street reconstruction, curb and gutter, sidewalks, and street 1 <br />lights for the Little Canada Road improvement, and reject the bid for street <br />amenities. <br />The City Engineer reported that he had no additional information on the <br />City's ability to use MSA funds for street amenities. It appeared likely, <br />however, that the streetlights would be funded. <br />Morelan asked if the street amenities would be rebid. The City <br />Administrator suggested that rebidding the amenities late fall for spring <br />construction may be the most prudent way to go. <br />The City Engineer reported that the City received three bids for the <br />project. All three bidders were street contractors and they have indicated <br />they had a difficult time getting subcontractors to bid on the street <br />amenities portion of the project. <br />The City Administrator indicated that the amenities that would be rejected <br />include the plantings, planters, ballards, concrete/pavers. The City <br />Engineer pointed out that the sidewalk would be poured and joints <br />installed where the colored concrete or pavers could be easily cut through <br />later. If the street amenities are not installed early spring, the concrete or <br />paver area could be sodded until a bid is awarded and the amenities added. <br />The City Engineer felt that the bids received for the street portion of the <br />improvement were reasonable bids, and recommended awarding the low <br />bid. <br />IvIr. Morelan introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2000-6-1 SO -AWARDING THE LOW BID OF <br />PALDA & SON FOR LITTLE CANADA ROAD IMPROVEMENT, <br />WHICH INCLUDES STREET RECONSTRUCTION, CONCRETE <br />CURB AND GUTTER, SIDEWAI KS, AND STREET LIGHTING <br />SUBJECT TO RECEIPT OFANAGREEMENT WITHRAMSEY <br />COUNTY FOR THIS PROJECT, AND REJECTING THE STREET <br />AMENITIES PORTION OF THE BID <br />11 <br />
