SPECIAL LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, OCTOBER 29, 1980 Councilman Pott called the meeting to order at 6;30 p.m. Councillors in attendance: Novak, Morgan, Mottaz (7:05) and Mayor Armstrong (6:35) PARK TRAIL BIDS: The Council reviewed the bid tab sheet for the park trails. The lowest total bid was that of Ridge Blacktop, Inc., for $11,400. However, the unit price per lineal foot was written out consistantly as,$12,60, this would amount to $114,000 extended. This bid was to be awarded on the unit costs. So, the $11,400, although the lowest total bid, was not a responsible bid. Armstrong moved, seconded by Morgan, to award the bid for park trails to the lowest responsible bidder, Mogren Bros. Although Ridge Blacktop, Inc, appeared to be the low bidder the Council determined this was not the lowest responsible bid because of the discrepency in the unit and the total price. Motion carried 4-0. Mottaz absent. Morgan will walk the trails with the contractor. The contractor will furnish the staking material, as stated in the bid. Engineering time will be billed against the grant money, JAMACA GATE: The Engineer distributed the final design for the Jamaca Gate. He received two bids to construct and install the gate. Both bids were in excess of $1,900, which exceeds the cost limitation set for the project. Pott moved, seconded by Novak, to reject all bids and table this matter. Motion carried 4-0. The Administrator will give the proposed plan to the Maintenance Foreman and see if the maintenance crew can construct and install a similar structure, GARAGE LANDSCAPING: The Engineer talked to Mr. Mogren and he indicated he cannot do this work until after November 5. CITY OFFICE ROOF: The Council reviewed the bids. The Building Inspector recommended the City accept the bid from Curran J. Nielsen, Co., the highest bidder. His recommendation was based on the durability and 10 year guarantee on more substantial material than was specified in the bid. Morgan moved, seconded by Pott, to accept the low bid for reroofing the City Office roof, only, from Ettel & Franz. Motion carried 4-0. The Council decided to delay reroofing the upper roof. That will be done when the City Office remodeling is done. BROOK'S NON INTOXICATING MALT LIQUOR LICENSE: The Administrator reported that the Sheriff has no objection to licensing Brooks; the State does not license them; and it is a City decision. Armstrong moved, seconded by Pott, to grant an Off -Sale Non - Intoxicating Malt Liquor License to Brook's Superette. Motion carried 3-1. Novak opposed.
