Consideration of Resolution 04 -145, Awarding Lease
Agreement to Farm Property at Centerville Road and
Birch Street
Simple Majority
BACKGROUND:
Bids were received and publicly opened on October 5, 2004 at 10:00 am in the City
Council Chambers. The lease agreement is for a term of three years, beginning
January 1, 2005. Terms of the lease agreement indicated that rent would be paid in
three equal installments on March 1 of each year. Proof of insurance will be required
prior to any work being done on the property. Two bids were received as outlined
below:
• Cardinal Brothers - Three equal annual payments of $2,000 ($6,000 total)
Mr. Paul Montain - Three annual payments of $2,554 (2005), $2,560 (2006), $2,572
(2007) ($7,686 total)
Mr. Hawkins has reviewed the submitted bids and has indicated that the City Council
has the discretion to waive the provision in the lease that states the bids are to be in
three equal installments. The law allows cities to accept bids with minor or minimal
changes to the specifications. Since Mr. Montain's annual payments are only a few
dollars different each year, the City Council could legally accept Mr. Montain's bid.
OPTIONS:
1. Award the bid to Mr. Montain.
2. Award the bid to Cardinal Brothers.
3. Return to staff for further review.
RECOMMENDATION:
Option 1.
