COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 23, 1995 preparation of the Report. Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 95 - 04. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of the Bids for Lakeview Place/LaMotte Ditch Cleaning - Mr. Powell explained that plans and specifications for this ditch cleaning project were ordered in October, 1994 and as the estimated cost was less than $25,000.00, bids were solicited and advertising was not required. Only one (1) bid was actually submitted by a contractor and that bid was for $29,122.10 compared to an engineer's estimated cost of $14,604.00. The bid was rejected. At the City Council meeting on October 24, 1994, the City Council authorized Rocky Keehn of SEH to wait a short time and again solicit quotes for the project. On January 9, 1995, the quotations for the second round of bidding were opened and again only one (1) quote was received. The sole quote was received from Ro-So Contracting for $30,039.35, almost twice the revised engineer's estimate of $16,864.00. It is recommended that this bid also be rejected. Mr. Powell recommended this project be incorporated into one of the larger improvement projects to be bid in 1995. This would lead to lower, more competitive unit prices. Some cleaning of the east -west ditch has been done, this should allow the proposed project to be delayed until Spring, 1995. Council Member Bergeson moved to reject the bid and complete the work as part of a larger project in 1995. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of Resolution No. 95 - 07 Receiving Feasibility Report for Well No. 4 - Mr. Powell explained that the preliminary plat for the Clearwater Creek development is currently being reviewed by the City and will be considered by the City Council, along with a rezone, at a future meeting. Although neither the preliminary plat or rezoning has been approved, the developer., Mr. Tony Emmerich, requested preparation of a feasibility report for a new well to serve the project area. Furthermore, the developer deposited escrow funds with the City to cover the cost of preparing this report. At the regular meeting of the City Council on November 14, 1994, preparation of a feasibility report for well No. 4 was ordered. The report has now been completed and submitted to the City. As the rezone and preliminary plat for the Clearwater Creek development will be considered at a future meeting, the setting PAGE 14
