148 12/27/71 bidder; Mr. Locher advised that they could not do this without readvertising. A change order os some sort if necessary could reduce the price to the low bid. Mr. Gotwald read the separate items which were bid on. He stated that he had talked with Layne - Minnesota and explained what his recommendation would be; they stated that if the situation were reversed, they would like to do it that way. He noted too that the legal ads and the specifications all stated that the bid would be awarded in the best interest of the Village. Following discussion, Mr. Rosengren moved to award the contract for the pump and motor to Keys Well Drilling Co. in the amount of $3,000.00 on the recom- mendation of the Engineer. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Gotwald gave the reasons why the pump couldn't be advertised with the well. Mr. L'Allier mentioned that Mr. Locher and Mr. Gotwald had been negotiating on an easement relating to the Chomonix development which was necessitated due to the County now requiring 100 feet for road easement on Birch St. The Delzer property had only a 33 foot easement anda water main needs to be put in which would be 5 feet outwide of the 50' line. The agreement signed by the Delzers is as follows: AGREEMENT For and in consideration of the within agreement, and the execution of an ease- ment by Edwin J. Delzer and Delores Delzer, for water main placement, the Village of Lino Lakes agrees to pay said Delzers the sun of $209.00, based upon $1.00 per front foot of the land owned by the Delzers. The Village further agrees as follows: 1. To replace the plum tree in the Spring of 1972 with a plum tree, a young tree, 6 -7 foot high. The existing plum tree shall not be replanted due to its age. 2. To move the cherry treest there being 2 or 3, and if same do not grow, same shall be replaced in the Spring of 1972 with cherry trees of similar size. 3. To install a 1" service to the Delzer's property line -- straight out from the West corner of the Delzer's house- -and install a corporation box; all at no charge to the Delzers, the Delzers not to be obligated to a hookup fee or charge except for a plumbing permit fee should they decide to util- ize the water and a monthly service rate and meter deposit. 4. To restore the surface, where disturbed to install the water main, to pre- existing surface level with sod in the yard area and driveway surfacing in the driveway area, comparable to existing driveway surface. The foregoing is agreed to this 21st day of December, 1971 (signatures) Mr. Locher stated that there were witnesses present when the agreement was drafted who'stated that the Delzer's had a real nice yard and driveway com- pacted of cement and motor oil. The corporation box would be installed with the main. He noted that the Metro Council may put in the sewer interceptor in which case, they would take the easement, not us. There was considerable discussion on the cost of appraisal. Mr. Rosengren moved to accept the above agreement and to authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the agreement and to accept the deed. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Mr. Bohjanen asked if a dollar value could be given for the trees. It was felt that the total cost of tree replacement would not exceed $250. Denny Houle questioned waiving the hookup fee, wondering if this was standard procedure. Mr. Gotwald and Mr. Locher both felt that the amount for the water hookup fee would be much less than the cost of appraisal. The vote on the motion was unanimously in favor.
