He explained Area F was primarily single family housing north of County Road <br /> I and multi-family housing south of County Road I. It was noted Area F was made up of three miles of roadway with two non-standard streets, Hillview Road and Edgewood Drive. <br /> <br />Public Works Director DeBar indicated a fee proposal was solicited from Stantec and was broken down into design, bidding and construction. Stantec has performed all of the engineering <br /> work for the City on Areas A through E. The estimated consulting and geotechnical fees were reviewed. Staff requested the Council authorize Stantec to perform professional engineering <br /> design services and preparing bidding documents for Area F. <br /> <br />Council Member Hull questioned why two bids were not received for this project. Public Works Director DeBar stated two bids were received last year and Stantec was the low bidder. <br /> He explained that Stantec has been doing a great job on the street and utility program and he recommended the City continue to use their services. In addition, Staff did not have to <br /> re-teach the City’s policies each year to a new vendor. There was a certain level of familiarity between the City and Stantec. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Stigney. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 7961, Authorizing Stantec Consulting Services Inc. to Perform Professional Engineering Design Services and <br /> Preparing Bidding Documents for Area F of the Street and Utility Improvement Program. <br /> <br />Council Member Hull indicated he would not support this Resolution because Staff did not receive two bids for this contract. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty thanked Christina Mlejnek and Harlen for their work on Area E. He requested further information on how communications worked between the contractors and the residents. <br /> Cristina Mlejnek, Stantec, explained that several days prior to an access closing a handout was given to the residents. She noted the closure information was also available on the <br /> City’s website. Cristina thanked the Council for allowing Stantec for continue their services in the City. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 4 Nays – 1 (Hull) Motion carried. <br /> <br />Resolution 7962, Approving the Purchase of a 2012 Ford F350 Pickup Truck from Midway Ford. <br /> <br />Public Works Supervisor Peterson stated that the Public Works Department uses a number of trucks and service vehicles for daily work and inspections.
