• <br />• <br />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.
