The pipe is located about 20 feet below the wetland <br />and near Koch pipeline. He explained that bids were received for the project on Thursday, July <br />6, 2017, and were opened and read aloud. A total of five bids were received. The bids were <br />checked for mathematical accuracy and tabulated and there are no errors made on the Proposal <br />Form. The Engineer's Estimate was $258,466.00. The bid tabulation indicates the low bidder as <br />Geislinger & Sons, Inc., Watkins, Minnesota, in the amount of $232,410.00. Due to the urgent <br />nature of the project, Council had previously authorized staff to proceed in an expedited fashion <br />and have thus awarded a contract to Geislinger and Sons, Inc. A preconstruction meeting is <br />scheduled for July 18, and staff has been in contact with residents. Erichson informed Council <br />that an agreement was reached with Kevin Peltier for a utility easement to move the main. This <br />will allow them to move forward with plans immediately. <br />Yellow Ribbon Network Update <br />Council Members Chuck Haas and Phil Klein reported on the recent activities of the Hugo's <br />Yellow Ribbon Network activities.
