As a result of the <br />changes, the Police Department was surveyed once again and the final outcome of the <br />survey is presented in the case. Mr. Schroeder stated that he has been talking with design- <br />build firms regarding the process. As part of a design-build with no amendments in the <br />plan beyond code compliance, the architectural/engineering would be under $15,000. At <br />this time, we could bid out the project with those fees included or we could complete the <br />consu'ucfion floor plans and bid those out. The fa'st would be publicly bid. The second <br />option would result in us receiving service proposals, completing that phase and bidding <br />that. He presented the list of the fmms he's proposing to solicit interest levels from. He <br />felt a fall project was not feasible. He recommended we get bids to include the architectural <br />engineering in the package. <br /> <br />Upon inquiry, Chief Auspos and Sergeant Gustafson stated they were in agreement with all <br />stated. Chief Auspos felt it would save money and time. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin asked to have M A Mortenson removed from the list of firms as he has a <br />family member employed there. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Beyer and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to <br />recommend that City Council direct the City Administrator to solicit construction bids, <br />including the above, pursuant to the design as amended. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
