Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for December 17, 2018 <br />Page 6 of 9 <br />appointment of Scott Cregan to the Historical Commission with a three-year term to end on <br />December 31, 2021. <br />Award of Bid for Water Tower #4 <br />City Engineer Mark Erichson provided background on the planning for water towers in Hugo <br />and explained that increased development had created a need for a new tower. This tower would <br />be located behind Well No. 6, and the existing 500,000 gallon water tower at Fenway Avenue <br />and 130th Street would be eliminated in 2020 or 2021. Bids for the Water Tower No. 4 project <br />were received on December 6, 2018. Four bids were received with the low bid being submitted <br />by CB&I, LLC. Bids Ranged from $3,521,000 to $4,021,200. He explained the bidding <br />documents included two alternates. Alternate No. 1 was for the removal of trees as outlined in <br />the construction plans. The Public Works Department had requested this portion not be awarded <br />as part of the construction contract because they intended to complete the work themselves this <br />winter, saving $12,000. Alternate No. 2 was for an alternate integrator. The alternate integrator <br />associated with Alternate 2 is a cost savings of $10,500. <br />Miron made motion, Klein seconded, to award of a contract to CB&I, LLC for the base bid and <br />Alternate 2 in the amount of $3,510,500. <br />All Ayes. Motion carried. <br />Approve Resolution for Bond Reimbursement <br />Federal treasury regulations permit the City to issue bonds after construction begins on Water <br />Tower #4 and use the proceeds to reimburse itself for expenses that have already been paid, <br />subject to certain timelines. To comply with these regulations, the Council needed to approve a <br />bond reimbursement resolution. Passage of this resolution would not require the City to issue <br />bonds, but merely preserves the City's rights to do so. <br />Klein made motion, Petryk seconded, to approve RESOLUTION 2018-52 ESTABLISHING <br />PROCEDURES RELATING TO COMPLIANCE WITH REIMBURSEMENT BOND <br />REGULATIONS UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. <br />All Ayes. Motion carried. <br />Update on 130t' Street Improvement Proiect Right -of -Way Acquisition <br />Staff had been preparing construction plans and specifications for the reconstruction of 130th <br />Street from Highway 61 to Goodview Avenue. As part of the design, a roundabout was planned <br />for 130th Street at Flay Avenue along with a pedestrian trail on the north side of 130th Street, <br />and sanitary sewer forcemain upsizing. Easement acquisition needs had been identified in the <br />southeast and southwest quadrants of 130th Street and Flay Avenue to accommodate the <br />construction of this roundabout. Staff had also identified easement needs at the east end of 130th <br />Street to allow for the realignment of 130th Street to connect with Goodview Avenue at a right <br />angle, as the intersection is currently skewed. Temporary easements would be needed for access <br />for construction and the planting of trees to screen the roundabout traffic. Meetings with <br />property owners have been ongoing to identify any concerns they have. The cost of the <br />easements from the property owners totaled $32,600.
