COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998 <br /> Mr. Ahrens noted that awarding the bid at next Council meeting instead of tonight will not delay <br /> construction. He had added a cost analysis to their packets and they were $50,000 lower than <br /> expected. <br /> Council Member Bergeson asked why the bids were in the $1.4 million range and the total came <br /> in at $1.7 million. Mr. Ahrens explained that the $1.4 million figure was the construction cost <br /> and the $1.7 million was the total project cost, which included engineering, consultant, and <br /> administration fees, basically the overhead to administer the project. <br /> Council Member Lyden asked if State Aid would be available after this project. Mr. Ahrens <br /> stated that $1,113,000 was currently available, $53,000 over the estimate. Last year the City <br /> received $390,000. With a brand new Ware Road, the annual allotment would be approximately <br /> $350,000. <br /> Council Member Neal asked if there would be any change orders needed for this project. Mr. <br /> Ahrens said that the issue of change orders had been addressed so, hopefully, they would not <br /> need any. <br /> Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 98 -48, as presented. Council <br /> Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Resolution No. 98 -48 can be found at the end of these minutes. <br /> Consideration of Resolution No. 98 -49,Accept Bids and Award Construction Contract, <br /> Town Center Parkway, Phase 2-Mr. Ahrens explained that sealed bids were received and <br /> opened on Friday April 3, 1998 for the Street and Utility construction associated with Phase 2 of <br /> the Town Center Parkway project.
