AWARD OF CONTRACTS - BID SCHEDULE “A” – 2012
CONTRACT 2012-1, ICE ARENA ADDITION & RENOVATION
CONTRACT 2012-2, LANDFILL CLOSURE – PHASE 1
CONTRACT 2012-3, NEW SIDEWALK
Summary
Bids for Public Works Bid Schedule “A” – 2012, Contracts 2012-1, -2, and -3, were
opened on Wednesday, January 25, 2012. Each of the low bids was found to be
responsive and acceptable.
Recommendation
Following review by the Council, the Engineering Division recommends award of base
bids for Contracts 2012-1, -2, and -3 to the low bidders and that the City Council
express their intent to include necessary funding in the note issue.
City Manager Recommendation
The City Manager recommends that the City Council award all three bids to the low
bidders and add alternate number 5 for the ice rink bid. Alternate number 3 would be
the other alternate that the Council may want to consider. Alternate number 5 would
replace the current lighting and alternate number 3 would add a canopy at the main
entrance of the building.
Suggested Motion
I move to award contracts 2012-1 and include alternate number 5, 2012-2, and 2012-3
to the low bidders and express the intent to include in the 2012 Note Issue $675,000 for
the Ice Arena project, $1,430,000 for the Landfill project, and $318,310 for new
Sidewalks.
