Page 7 March 10,1980
Nelson had submitted the minutes to the 16. NORTH STAR PROPERTIES
City Council,which had taken place on MEETING MINUTES
the 6th of March at 10:00 A.M. There
was some general discussion on this
matter but the Staff noted a report
would be made to the City Council
around the 17th.
Nelson noted that the City Staff had
followed the procedures outlined for
soliciting Bids for Street Sweeping.
That the City Council had set a date on
a Friday, the 7th of March at 9:00 A.M.
for the Bid Opening time. The City had
received one (1) bid in the mail prior
to the 7th and two (2) bids were received
after the 9:00 o'clock opening on the 7th.
The bid that was submitted did not
contain a Bid Bond, consequently the Bid
could not be accepted. Since the other two
bids were not opened,because Nelson did
not have the authority to waive the ir-
regularities,he requested the Council
do so. McCarty moved to open the two (2)
bids received after the 9:00 o'clock
deadline to see if the Bids had met the
requirements. Ziebarth seconded the
motion.
The motion carried.

17. STREET SWEEPING BIDS
Allied Blacktop Company had submitted
a Bid with an accompanied Bid Bond of
$3,985.00 and Clean Sweep submitted a
Bid of $3,975.00 with an accompanied Bid
Bond. Council then asked the City Attorney
what constituted the responsible low
bidder. The City Attorney explained to
the City Council that the difficulties
that they experience with Clean Sweep
during the 1979 season and the additional
costs that were incurred as a result of
the increase supervision by the City could
cause the City to consider the Allied
Bidder as the most responsible. Ziebarth
moved to award the Street Sweeping Bid to
Allied Blacktop Company because Clean
Sweep had demonstrated inability to meet
the deadlines in the 1979 season and the
City had to increase it's supervision
over Clean Sweep to complete the work.
