A. Council Minutes - Regular Meeting February 18, 1997
B. Approval of Claims per Payable Register
C. Change Order - Engineering - Liberty Street Water Improvement
This is a request by the Public Works Department to
increase the limit on engineering fees for design and
construction management on the Liberty Street/Two Mile
Drive Water Improvements by $9,169 from $20,051 to
$29,220. The change order is requested because of an
increase in the scope of work associated with the project
which was added on after the contract with Carver
Engineering had been negotiated. PWD feels the change
order is appropriate and justified.
D. Change Order - Elks Sewage Lift Station
The Public Works Department is requesting an increase in
the flat fee of $5000.00 to $16,000.00 for the design of
the Elk's Lift Station Improvements. The request is made
Agenda -March 3, 1997
at the behest of Carver Engineering. The significant
increase is necessitated because of several substantial
changes in the scope of work on the project. A letter
from Andrew Hyde, at Carver, discussing the changes is
included in your packets.
E. Bid Award Generator
The City received four (4) bids in response to the
advertisement for the purchase of a Pump Station Portable
Generator. Two (2) bids, Cummins Northwest, Inc. and
Aptech, Inc. were rejected as being unresponsive. Cummins
did not provide the advertised bid bond and Aptech's did
not arrive in time to be considered. After considerable
discussion amongst the staff it was determined that the
Long Machinery bid of $34,489.00 for a Caterpillar CD040
should be accepted by the City as responsive and
responsible.
F. Appointment— Central School Selection Committee for
Architectural Services
We have included in your packet a list of individuals
designated to select an architect for the Central School
project. A Motion appointing said Committee should be
passed by the Council.
