1 1 1 CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 14, 1994 Finance Director Position - The City of Lino Lakes has been sharing a Finance Director with White Bear Township for approximately two (2) years. Mr. Schumacher proposed changing the language of the Joint Powers Agreement to make Lino Lakes the employer and contract financial services to White Bear Township. The purpose of the change is to give the City of Lino Lakes control over the number of hours worked while still maintaining a cooperative agreement with White Bear Township. Mr. Schumacher noted that the City of Lino Lakes now needs more services because of the loss of the Accounts Payable Clerk. Council Member Kuether moved to approve the revised Joint Powers Agreement as submitted. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF AWARDING BIDS FOR THE SHORES OF MARSHAN LAKE PARK BUILDING REMODELING Bids have been accepted for the remodeling of the Shores of Marshan Lake Park building. Invitations to bid were published in the Quad Community Press and the Circulating Pines. Also plans and specifications were mailed to local contractors presently licensed with either the City or the State. Submission of bids closed February 11, 1994. General contractors were asked to itemize their bids to show the amounts of bids by their subcontractors. This was done to allow local subcontractors the opportunity to bid if they did not do so with a general contractor. There were two (2) general contractors who bid only on the general construction part of the project. These contractors bid on this basis because they knew that the City was receiving bids individually from mechanical and electrical contractors and might award individual bids to local contractors. A total of five (5) bids were received from general contractors. Three (3) additional bids were received from local mechanical and/or electrical contractors. A summation of the bids was presented to the City Council. A recommendation was made to award bids to the contractors with the low bid in each construction phase. Mayor Reinert noted that not all bidders were from Lino Lakes. He asked if the City Council approves all low bids, who will coordinate the work. Mr. Schumacher explained that Mr. Volk would be the coordinator. Council Member Elliott asked if anyone was familiar with general contractor, Clayton Asp Construction. No one knew this company. Mr. Racutt from the audience noted that some of the low bidders PAGE 15
