Library Project:  Phase 1 Bid Package (Mark Koester; Dave Piper) - CM Ealy distributed staff report and Phase 1 recommended bid package.

 

Dave Piper briefed the Council on the status of the project.

 

Steve Anderson, P&C Construction, presented the recommended bids for approval.  The Phase 1 bid package is $728,546.  Mark Koester, P&C Construction, explained the public notification process through the Daily Journal of Commerce and various 'plan centers' located around the metropolitan area.  He also stated that P&C was the only bidder on the concrete work and handed their bid to City staff 2 hours prior to the deadline.

 

Councilor Conditt asked for clarification on Phase 1 estimated costs vs. actual costs after the bids.  Steve explained that the two Phases were never broken out into two estimates.  There is one estimate for total maximum guaranteed price for both phases together.  For the sake of clarification, Steve reported that we are about $5,000 under where we thought we would be at this point in the process.

 

Councilor Conditt also asked for clarification on the landscaping bid.  Steve and Mark both clarified that the bids are for only the initial landscaping infrastructure so that it is contracted prior to any physical layovers such as concrete and asphalt.

 

Councilor Arnold asked about the BOLI provisions for this project.

 

Councilor Hartwig moved that we accept the Phase 1 bid package as presented.  Councilor Arnold seconded the motion.  Roll Call Vote: Cr. Conditt – yes, Cr. Hartwig – yes, Cr. Stauffacher – yes, Cr. Arnold – yes, Mayor Austin – yes.  Motion passed 5-0.  The motion passed unanimously.
