Resolution 17 -029; a Resolution Awarding a Bid for the 2017 Street and Utility <br />13 Improvements. <br />14 <br />15 City Engineer Hubmer reviewed bids were opened in February and there were 13 bidders. The <br />16 low bidder was Ryan Contracting ($2,320,289.50). The competition has been very strong. <br />17 <br />18 Councilmember Gray asked what the original estimate was and Mr. Hubmer stated $2.5M. <br />19 <br />20 Motion by Councilmember Brever, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to adopt Resolution 17- <br />21 029; a Resolution Awarding a Bid for the 2017 Street and Utility Improvements to Ryan <br />22 Contracting Company of Elko New Market, MN for $2,320,289.50. <br />23 <br />24 Motion carried 5 -0. <br />25 <br />26 Mr. Hubmer provided an update on Minor Lake. The restoration along the shoreline will be done <br />27 rather than the excavation since frost is needed and the excavation will be completed next winter. <br />28 The residents can expect contact regarding tree placement for the project. <br />29 <br />30 Councilmember Stille asked if there is any incremental benefit to what has been done so far and <br />31 Mr. Hubmer stated the flood capacity has been doubled since some work has been done. The <br />32 water quality volume needs to be finished for excavation. Heavy equipment cannot be brought in <br />33 without frost. <br />34 <br />35 B.
