Bids Results for 30'" Street Reconstruction, Janero Construction and 1998 Overlays In his memo dated June 1, 1998, Tom Prew reported results of bids that were received on May 29, 1998 for the 1998 Street Improvements. Tower Asphalt was the low bidder with a bid of $855,933.10. Prew did not ask the Council to accept the bids at this meeting because there are issues related to the proposed assessments that must be resolved. Norm Purrington submitted a petition from residents of Hill Trail N. opposed to the project being done. The Council was asked to go out and look at the condition of Hill Trail N. Councilor Hunt stated if he lived on Hill Trail N. he would want the street project done. Mayor John found a lot of alligator cracking and wear. He recognized the concerns of residents that landscaped right up to the edge of the road. Tom Prew responded that the boulevard landscaping does not affect the overlay and would work around this. Councilor Johnston asked what is the status of the survey? Prew responded he has not completed the road survey. If the survey showed right-of-way on private property, he would not change the location of the road. Councilor DeLapp found large patches of severe alligator cracking and one resident had his driveway wash out. The Council suggested having a public meeting with the Hill Trail N. residents to address their concerns. Administrator Kueffner stated in the 1998 Comprehensive Plan the Surface Water Management Plan has to be completed, and this plan may address some of the drainage concerns in this area. M/S/P Hunt/DeLapp — to direct the staff to postpone the overlay of Hill Trail N. and direct the staff to send a letter to residents on Hill Trail N. informing them of this decision, but also informing them that the Council felt their road is a candidate for overlay this year or in 1999 in comparison with other roads that we have overlaid within the City, but that we wish to delay the overlay to get a better feeling for the water problems and any other areas of concerns in that area that would potentially be addressed at the same time the overlay is done. The residents will be notified of a public meeting concerning this project at a later date. (Motion passed 4-0). Tom Prew indicated he would hold an informational meeting to discuss the project costs with the Janero Avenue residents on Tuesday, June 9th at City Hall.
