<br /> Terri Blattenbauer, YMCA Program Executive stated on September 13, 1999, the City Council
<br /> approved a resolution to authorize the use of TIF funds for showers and changing rooms at the
<br /> Community Center. She indicated Craig Anding of Wold Architects would present this
<br /> proposal, and award the bid for this project.
<br /> Craig Anding, representative of Wold Architects thanked the Council for the opportunity to
<br /> present this proposal and award the bid for the project. He indicated bids were taken in the
<br /> Council Chambers on November 18, and a total of eight bids were submitted, all within a very
<br /> acceptable range, and the low bid was submitted by Lund Martin, Inc., for the amount of
<br /> $86,300.
<br /> Mr. Anding explained that in order to identify the costs, quality and time schedule for delivery of
<br /> the lockers, two alternates were considered. He indicated the target date for the opening and
<br /> operation of the facility is February 1, 2000. He stated the first alternate, Republic Arch Metal,
<br /> and Penco, could deliver the lockers in 22 weeks, which is beyond the target date, and for that
<br /> alternate, Lund Martin bid $8,770. He explained that the second alternate, DeBerg, will provide
<br /> premium quality, all-welded lockers, which are more expenses, however, the delivery time is
<br /> much better at nine weeks, and is within the target date. He indicated that the Lund Martin bid
<br /> $11,800 for these lockers.
<br /> Mr. Anding stated that after discussing this matter with Ms. Blattenbauer, and considering the
<br /> budget, which was originally established at $110,000, staff recommends the project be awarded
<br /> to Lund Martin, Inc., with the base bid of$86,300, and alternate two, for the Deberg premium
<br /> quality lockers at $11,800, for a total contract of$98,100. He indicated that Lund Martin is a
<br /> reputable contractor, and they have indicated they are prepared to commence the project upon
<br /> Council approval.
<br /> Director of Public Works Ulrich advised that someone should have the authority to sign change
<br /> orders for this project.
<br /> Mayor Coughlin requested City Attorney Long's opinion on this matter.
