City Administrator Carlyle informed Council that the lowest bid for the 2005 Lincoln Street, Southeast Sanitary Sewer Improvements Project is $126,909.00.  The budgeted cost for this project is $91,085.00 resulting in a difference of $35,824.00.  He felt confident during the bidding process that the effects of Hurricane Katrina, escalated fuel and supply costs and the lateness in the construction season contributed to the over budget number.  He asked Council to reject the bids and allow the City to go out for bids again during the latter part of 2005, or the first part of 2006, allowing the project to be completed before the necessary connections are made at the C.O.V.E. Plat 4.  Mr. Mike Adams, Adams Properties, 210B – 2nd Street, Northeast, Bondurant, Iowa, asked the Council to deny Resolution No. 05-134.  He said starting the bidding process all over again would delay his project.  Mr. Ed Slattery, Stanley Consultants, 100 Court Avenue, Suite 300, Des Moines, Iowa, answered questions from the Mayor and Council concerning the project.      

 

Motion made by Council Member Cordes, seconded by Council Member Valentine, to approve Resolution No. 05-134, a Resolution Rejecting the 2005 Lincoln Street, Southeast Sanitary Sewer Improvements Project bids.  Roll Call:  Cordes-Yes, Valentine-Yes, Bailey-Yes, Kromrie-No.  Motion carried.

 

City Administrator Carlyle highlighted the bid from O’Halloran International Inc., of Altoona, Iowa, pertaining to the Iowa DOT Snow Removal Equipment.  He said the bid included only the 2006 International 7000 Series cab, chassis and the #7440 Monroe plow.  The bid does not include the apparatus for liquid application.  Bondurant Street Superintendent Kenneth Grove answered questions from the Mayor and Council pertaining to the applications of sand, salt and brine.
