FIXTURES, AND EQUIPMENT FOR NEW CITY HALL On Tuesday, December 11, 2001, City staff opened a total of six bids for the furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) for the new City Hall. The bids ranged from a high of $125,000 to a low of $86,856.77. City staff reviewed with City Attorney Dave Snyder the bids that had been submitted, and found that the low bid submitted by Pink Business Interiors was irregular— no full-size floor plan with furniture layout or sales tax was included in the bid. The City Attorney recommended that the contract be awarded to the second lowest bidder. Councilman Puleo requested City staff work with Metro Systems to make sure delivery of the FF&E is made in a timely manner. Miron made motion, Granger seconded, to award the low bid for FF&E to Metro Systems in the amount of $101,642.36, and to further direct the City Hall Building Committee to meet with Metro System's representatives to finalize the selection of colors and fabrics. All aye. Motion Carried. DRIVEWAY APPLICATION ON ONEKA LAKE BLVD. As directed by the City Council, City staff has reviewed the issues related to the construction of a blacktop driveway at 6178 Oneka Lake Blvd and the home formerly owned by the Robbinettes, currently owned by the developer, North Suburban Builders. The driveway has been constructed, along with black dirt and sod, and a "For Sale" sign has been installed in the front yard. Staff has had communication with the developer, and to date has not received written response regarding the desire to have the driveway removed. City Attorney Dave Snyder advised the Council that they have three options: 1) do nothing; 2) permit developer to market the property and deal with new home owner at a later date; or 3) compel developer to apply for a CUP. Haas made motion, Miron seconded, directing the City Attorney to send a letter to North Suburban Development requesting that they apply for a Conditional Use Permit, and a report will be made to the Council at its next meeting (01 /07/02).
