<br />Discussion: <br />Since the construction season is near its end, the project will be re-advertised <br />and re-bid and become a 2004 construction project. <br /> <br />Reject the Bids – Because the contract was not awarded, the Council should <br />officially reject the bids received on September 4, 2003. <br /> <br />Re-bidding the Project – At the Council Work Session on October 6, 2003, the <br />City Council indicated a desire to re-bid this project for 2004. Staff is looking for <br />direction as to what segments for the project the City Council wishes to re-bid. <br /> <br />Staff recommends that there be three distinct and separate bidding options one <br />of which can be award independently of the other: <br /> <br />BID OPTION A – Segment from Edgewood Drive to Silver Lake Road. <br />BID OPTION B – Segment from Silver Lake Road to the West City Limits. <br />BID OPTION C – Segment from Edgewood Drive to the West City Limits. <br /> <br />Bids will be received for all three of these options, if that is what the City Council <br />wishes. The City Council can then determine what bid option they would like to <br />award. <br /> <br />At a prior meeting, the City Council made a suggestion to bid the crossing of <br />Spring Creek with different options – i.e. bid sheet pilings versus a bridge. The <br />City’s engineering consultant looked at the bridge option. It was determined that <br />a bridge would require the condemnation of a portion of the property to the west <br />of Spring Creek. The owner of this property has already indicated that any <br />trespass onto his property will be responded with legal action against the City. <br /> <br />Bid Date – A January 8, 2004, 10:00 a.m. bid date will provide ample time to <br />provide the required notification to contractors, as per state statute. This will then <br />be brought to the City Council on January 26, 2004 to award the contract. <br /> <br />Should the City Council approve Resolution No. 6118, this information along with <br />the anticipated date to award the contract (January 26, 2004) will be sent to <br />owners property between County Road H and County Road H2. <br /> <br /> Recommendation: <br />It is recommended the City Council adopt a resolution rejecting all current bids, <br />authorizing Staff to re-advertise for bids, and establish a bid date for the County <br />Road H Sidewalk Project. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Greg Lee, Director of Public Works Reviewed by City Administrator:___ <br /> <br /> <br />
