Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Hubmer answered questions of the City Council regarding previous performance of
Northdale Construction. He stated Northdale Construction underperformed in its work for the
City in 1999. However, with the 2005 project the company completed its work one month ahead
of time and did a fantastic job. Staff spent a considerable amount of time prior to the 2005
project ensuring that the company was prepared to complete the project. Staff has managed
projects that Northdale Construction has worked on in other communities since 2005 and they
are reasonable to work with.
Mayor Faust noted there were 14 bidders on this project ranging from the low bid from
Northland Construction at $1,379,000 to a high of $1,813,000. By law the City is required to
accept the lowest responsible bidder and due diligence is done by the City Engineer.
