Council Meeting September 26, 1983 DISBURSEMENTS - September 26, 1983 107 I Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to approve the disbursements as presented. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried unanimously. 1 OPENING OF THE BIDS - BALDWIN LAKE MOBILE HOME COURT PROJECT Mr. Hawkins reported there had been a question raised as to the procedure in awarding the contract. This matter had been discussed with the owner, contractor, C ity Engineer, Mr. Schumacher and Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Hawkins reported that if Juran & Moody has submitted the low bid, Bond Counsel would research the City Charter before they would write an opinion. The question was in reference to the contract amount being over the Engineer's estimated figures by more than 10 %. Mr. Hawkins felt that if the Bank is low, the bid could be awarded since they are not requesting a Bond Councsel opinion. Mayor Benson said, since this entire project is to be assessed against one person, how is this affected by the Charter. If there was nore than one owner involved, then it would be understandable - he did not understand what Mr. Weible meant in his letter. Mr. Hawkins said the section is very poorly worded - he pointed out the contradictions in this section and with some suggestions on how to make the intent more clear. Mr. Hawkins felt the Council had followed the intent of the Charter but in order to eliminate the possible of shutting the project sown, the proposal to reduce the contract by a change order to within the allowable limits had been accepted by the owner and the contractor. Mr. Hawkins felt this is the best way to go at this time in order to avoid more controversy. Mr. Schumacher read the next interest amounts as follows: Juran & Moody - $47,510.00 - net effective rate - 8.638% Hugo State Bank - $47,600.00 - net effective rate - 8.45% The Council members had some questins on the interest - it did not seem correct. Mr. Hawkins suggested a delay in a decision on this matter until later in themeeting in order for these figures to be checked. Mr. Marier moved to table decision on this until later in the meeting to allow time for the figures to be checked. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously.
