<br />time, more information is necessary, and staff does not recommend any change to the Council's
<br />commitment to the year 2000.
<br />Mayor Coughlin inquired if staff's recommendation was to continue the discussion of this issue
<br />at some point during the first half of 2000. City Administrator Whiting stated this was correct.
<br />Mayor Coughlin stated it was the consensus of the Council to continue the discussion, and direct
<br />staff to schedule the matter for consideration at some point in the future.
<br />City Administrator Whiting extended his thanks to Northern States Power Company
<br />representative, John Theis, who will be retiring at the end of the year. He commented that Mr.
<br />Theis has always been very accessible, and helpful with information. He added that although

<br />functions, and has been very active in the Chamber of Commerce and the community. He
<br />expressed his appreciation to Mr. Theis for his time.
<br />Mayor Coughlin congratulated Mr. Theis for a race well run.

<br />Architects will be presenting.
<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 expensive, 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.
