"There is nothing in the <br />Resolution that binds the City to any project," he added. <br />Stigney stated that by approving the Resolution, the City would be presupposing that the <br />Mermaid Project was going to happen, and it is asking that the City pay $4,500 to have the <br />financial consultant review this process. Stigney added, if the consultant can get the City better <br />bonding rates, he would be all for it. But if the Resolution is tied into the Mermaid Project, the <br />residents should be given the chance to voice their opinions on the issue. <br />McCarty read Resolution No. 5259 into the record. <br />VOTE: Ayes - 4 Nays - 1(Stigney) Motion carried <br />C. Consideration of City Hall Renovation Bids <br />Michael Cox, Wold Architects, gave his report as follows: <br />• Bids for the Construction and Renovation of the City Hall were received and opened August 20, <br />1998. The renovation work will include: <br />1. Replacement of the roof-mounted ventilation and air conditioning units <br />2. Reroofing <br />3. Water proofing the lower level <br />4. Tuck-pointing and other miscellaneous repairs <br />Eleven bids were received. The low bid; which came in lower than the budget, was from Ebert <br />Construction of Corcoran Minnesota. Their bid amount was $204,600. The contractor has <br />submitted letters of reference and Wold was recommending that the City enter into a contract <br />with the low bidder. <br />Stigney asked for clarification in fire protection figures as stated in the bid. <br />Cox stated one option had more fire protection than in the other. He added that the overall <br />project cost of $315,000 included contingencies for unknowns, payments for fees, and testing. <br />Ebert's low bid would lower this amount because their bid was low than the budgeted amount. <br />Stigney stated concerns about approving $30,000 to do water proofing in the basement. <br />McCarty stated that all of the items listed in the schedule for correction are items that the full <br />Council approved after a very lengthy process of finding out exactly what work had to be done <br />
