Case #9: Award Bids for Improvement Project #98-16 Bituminous Paving of Bison Street City Engineer Jankowski sated that bids were received from four contractors for the bituminous paving of Bison Street. The feasibility study estimated the construction cost at $28,800 and the Iow bidder was W.B. Miller in an amount of $36,587.50. Included in this bid is $8,250 for the transport of 1,500 cubic yards of excess material from the site to be placed at a location about 1,000 feet north of the project. This spoil site was the previous location of Bison Street before it was re-located westward to the center of the right-of-way when that portion of the street was paved in 1996. The property owner, Medard Kaisershot, feels the former road property was left too low and has requested the City rectify the situation. Extra material is available from this project, however, this cost was not included in the original project feasibility study. Mr. Jankowski recommended awarding the contract to W.B. Miller, Inc. in the amount of $36,587.50, and that Schedule B in the amount of $8,250, be paid by the City's PIR Fund, separate from Improvement Project #98-16. Councilmember Zimmerman inquired if the City could get a legal guarantee that this will satisfy Mr. Kaisershot. City Attorney Goodrich replied that he would get in touch with Mr. Kaisershot. Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Hendriksen to adopt Resolution #99-05-090 receiving bids and awarding contract for Improvement Project #98-16 (Bituminous paving of Bison Street from 171St Avenue to a point 1,000 feet south thereof), in the amount of $36,587.50, with Schedule B being paid from the PIR Fund, and that there be an agreement assuring the City that Mr. Kaisershot is satisfied with the way the City rectified the "too low" road property.
