PELOOUIN APPRAISAL WORK Bid opening for the Peloquin Industrial Park Public Improvement Project was held on March 9, 2001, in the Hugo City Hall. The City Engineer's department had reviewed the bids in coordination with the City Attorney's office and found that the apparent low bid is under the engineer's estimate. Because the original appraisal work of the Peloquin Industrial Park was done a number of years ago, City attorney Dave Snyder is recommend that another appraisal firm, Bettendorf Roherer, complete an updating of the appraisal. In anticipation of a future special assessment hearing on this project, staff recommended City Council authorize the additional appraisal work be completed for the Peloquin Industrial Park public improvement project by the appraisal firm of Bettendorf Roherer. Miron made motion, Petryk seconded, to authorize a review of the appraisal for the Peloquin Industrial Park public improvement project to be done by Bettendorf Roherer at a cost of $1,200. All aye.
