<br />CASE#~ <br /> <br />AUTHORIZE CONTRACT FOR ROOF REPLACEMENT AT WOODLAND GREEN <br />PARK, SOLSTICE PARK, AND ELMCREST PARK <br />By: Heidi Nelson, Deputy City Administrator/Director of Community Development <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />City Council considered this case at the regular meeting of August 25th and voted to approve a <br />contract with Contractors & Consultants, Inc. for roof replacement at three park gazebos/kiosks at <br />various sites in the City. As Council is aware, Contractors & Consultants Inc. is a company owned <br />by Councilmember Colin McGlone, therefore, per state statute, a unanimous vote of the City <br />Council is required to approve the contract. One member of Council was absent for the meeting on <br />August 25th. After further review of state statute regarding this matter, the City Attorney has <br />recommended that the resolution approving the contract with Contractors & Consultants Inc. be <br />brought back for Council consideration when the full Council is present. The text of the case from <br />the August 25th meeting is included below for Council reference: <br /> <br />AU1!Ust 25th City Council Meetin1! Case Text: <br /> <br />On May 25th, 2008, a severe thunderstorm caused significant hail damage throughout the City. The <br />League of Minnesota Cities (LMNC) conducted an assessment of the damages, and subsequently, <br />roof replacement was completed on the buildings at Central Park <br /> <br />Roof replacement is also required on the shelters at Woodland Green Park, Solstice Park, and <br />Elmcrest Park Staff has secured three (3) quotes for roof replacement at the above-mentioned <br />parks. Since LMNC will pay for damages based on like material replacement, it was required that <br />all bids had to include pricing for like material replacement. In addition, the city requested quotes <br />on a material upgrade specified by staff (Kasselwood product). Recently staff has transitioned to <br />utilizing a metal roofing material in parks due to the reduced vandalism and hail damage <br />experienced with a metal vs shingles/shakes type roofing product. Each of the contractors provided <br />pricing on an alternate material as well. Staff's experience has been very positive with the <br />Kasselwood product, thus this was the product specified when requesting quotes. The quote results <br />are as follows: <br /> <br />gqr'('lpt:lny; <br />Contractors & Consultants, Inc. <br />Diversified Roofing <br /> <br />LaFrance Exteriors, Inc. <br /> <br /> <br />$7,134.50 <br />$11,000.00 <br />$7,800.00 <br /> <br />n/a <br />$13,600.00 <br />$9,800.00 <br /> <br />$9,750.00 <br />$10,800.00 <br />n/a <br /> <br />n/a <br />n/a <br />$10,180.00 <br /> <br />It should be noted that the company Contractors & Consutlants Inc. is owned by Councilmember <br />McGlone. The City Attorney has researched the provisions for contracting with a councilmember, <br />it is detailed below: <br /> <br />Minn. Stat Sec. 471.87 provides that no public officer who is authorized to make take part <br />in the authorizing of various public contracts may have a personal financial interest in <br />
