<br />Discussion: <br />Staff has written the specifications for replacement of the water meter readers <br />and is seeking approval to set a bid date and advertise for sealed bids. <br /> <br /> <br />Advertise for Bids – As per state statute, with an estimated contract amount in <br />excess of $100,000, publication must be made at least three weeks before the <br />last day to submit bids. The advertisement must be published at least once in the <br />official newspaper and at least once in either a trade paper or a newspaper that <br />is published in a first class city. Given this, Staff seeks authorization to advertise <br />for bids. Advertisement would go in the New Brighton Bulletin, and in the <br />Construction Bulletin. <br /> <br /> <br />Bid Date – A November 21, 2007, 10:00 a.m. bid date will provide ample time to <br />provide the required notification to contractors as per state statute. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />It is recommended the City Council adopt a resolution setting a bid date and <br />authorizing the advertisement for bids for the Water Meter Reading System <br />Replacement Program. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />_______________________ <br />Michael Schnur, Lead Utility Operator <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
