The Council voted to reject all bids due to the increased <br />cost over the most recent engineer’s estimate. Please see the enclosed resolution. <br /> <br />The Council appreciates the collaborative work between our two cities concerning this project, <br />and expressed their ongoing desire to complete the joint road project in a timely manner. The <br />City of Hugo is requesting the City of Lino Lakes reject all bids and immediately rebid the <br />project this fall for approval and construction in spring, 2020. In addition, Council further <br />directed staff to negotiate an amended Joint Powers Agreement with Lino Lakes allowing the <br />project to continue moving forward. <br /> <br />Please consider these requests at your Council meeting on August 26, 2019. Feel free to contact <br />me with any questions at 615-762-6320. <br /> <br />Sincerely <br /> Bryan Bear <br />City Administrator <br /> <br />CC: Hugo Mayor and Council <br /> <br />
