COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 23, 1998 <br />Comprehensive Plan Update, Brian Wessel - Mr. Wessel reminded everyone of the <br />neighborhood meeting on Thursday, March 26, at 6:00 p.m. This meeting will address issues <br />relative to Districts 5 and 6. <br />CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT, DAVID AHRENS <br />Accept Proposal for Preparation of Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan and <br />Comprehensive Water Plan - Mr. Ahrens explained that in conjunction with Comprehensive <br />Plan updates, the City must update its sanitary sewer and water comprehensive plans <br />investigating how utilities will be extended to accommodate future development. Staff requested <br />proposals from the City's three engineering consultants for preparation of such plans, which <br />proposals are summarized as follows: <br />TKDA, Inc. $25,050 <br />OSM, Inc. $55,000 <br />SEH, Inc. $55,000 <br />All proposals include the cost for preparation of the two plans. The cost of attending meetings <br />necessary for completion of the plans themselves are included within the total cost proposal; <br />however, the TKDA proposal does not include the cost of attending informational meetings such <br />as Comprehensive Task Force meetings or City Council work sessions. TKDA's attendance at <br />such additional meetings would be at the rate of $200 per meeting. <br />Mr. Ahrens recommended acceptance of TKDA's proposal as its bid is lowest, and it has the <br />ability to provide the plans as required. <br />Mayor Sullivan pointed out that the substantial difference between TKDA's bid and those of <br />OSM and SEH had been clarified as being due to TKDA having already done a substantial <br />portion of the work required for preparation of these plans, they have computer models of other <br />engineering work for the City on file for use in this project, and they strongly desire the work. <br />Council Member Bergeson asked that agreement to work with TKDA include a provision that <br />their work follow the direction of and support the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Ahrens agreed. <br />Mayor Sullivan requested clarification that the agreement will include a "not -to -exceed" clause, <br />to which Mr. Ahrens responded this stipulation is implied within every contract between TKDA <br />and the City. <br />Council Member Bergeson moved to accept the proposal of TKDA, Inc. for preparation of a <br />Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan and a Comprehensive Water Plan. Council Member Lyden <br />seconded the motion. Motion carried 4-0. <br />Consideration of Resolution No. 98 - 27, Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize <br />Advertisement for Bids, Lakes Addition Street Reconstruction Project - Mr. Ahrens <br />6 <br />
