1 A. Viewpoints of both those who favor and those who oppose the pro- <br /> 2 ject had been thoroughly explored during the April 19th Commission• <br /> 3 hearing and the Council meeting April 26th. <br /> 4 B. The proposed use appears to be the best utilization of that pro- <br /> 5 perty and would be in conformance with the 1980 Comprehensive Plan <br /> 6 for that area. <br /> 7 C. The Planning Commission gave unanimous approval to the request. <br /> 8 Motion carried unanimously. <br /> 9 NEW BUSINESS <br /> 10 As a courtesy to Lloyd Peterson, project engineer from Rieke-Carroll- <br /> 11 Muller Associates , the consideration of bids on the St. Anthony <br /> 12 Boulevard reconstruction project was moved up on the agenda. <br /> 13 ST. ANTHONY BOULEVARD/KENZIE TERRACE PROJECT BID CLOSE TO $150 , 000 <br /> 14 UNDER ENGINEER' S ESTIMATE <br /> 15 Mr. Childs drew the Council ' s attention to the fact that the low bid of <br /> 16 $256 , 248. 67 from Ashbach Construction Company had come in almost <br /> 17 $150 , 000 under a very conservative engineer' s estimate of $400 , 000 to <br /> 18 do the project. The City Manager indicated the following about that <br /> 19 bid: <br /> 20 *the low bidder had furnished the City with a written statement <br /> 21 that their failure to acknowledge Addenda #1 would not mean <br /> 22 they would make any claim for additional compensation on the <br /> 23 project; <br /> 24 *both the City Attorney and RCM' s attorney had verified that the <br /> 25 contractor ' s failure to acknowledge receipt of the addenda would <br /> 26 not void the bids; <br /> 27 *addenda #1 had changed the time schedule for concrete work for <br /> 28 driveways on Kenzie Terrace where traffic signals are to be <br /> 29 constructed to extend the completion date until August when the <br /> 30 contractor would finish both sections of the project but would <br /> 31 require a substantial portion of the Kenzie Terrace project to be <br /> 32 completed by May 31st rather than totally completed by that <br /> 33 date. No other project time schedules or penalties had been <br /> 34 amended; <br /> 35 *Ashbach was able to bid the job lower because they were the <br /> 36' only bidders who had their own concrete and blacktop recycling <br /> 37 operation and many of the other bidders might have had to have <br /> 38 them do the recycling work for them; <br /> 39 <br /> 10 <br />
