City Engineer Himmer responded the easement area shown is large, this is an isolated area. Councilmember Wise asked would it increase the amount of water in there and if this would change any drainage pattern. City Engineer Himmer reviewed that it wouldn't because the outlet is buried. Mr. Brent commented to the discussion of water problems is only temporarily with a decent rain, because it is very sandy. Councilmember McGlone asked about the water elevations. City Engineer Himmer stated today the water does not impact the low lying area adjacent to his property. Consensus is to put this on the next available works session agenda for further discussion. 4.2: Consider Award of Contract for City Improvement Projects 11-01 through 11-06, 2011 Street Maintenance Program City Engineer Himmer reviewed the staff report. Public Works Director Olson wanted to comment from the staff report that staff was concerned when only one bid was received for Division B, so staff took the opportunity to talk to the paving company, and they responded the state shutdown was affecting this and people are afraid to bid. Mayor Ramsey stated that is the point, did we not get the best price because everyone is afraid to bid. Public Works Director Olson responded, this could be, the State could come back, and they would have so much work, and they would say now we know what we have for workload, we are going to bid, but we are going to bid high. Motion by Councilmember McGlone, seconded by Councilmember Tossey, to approve Resolution #11-07-129A awarding contract for City Improvement Projects 11-01 through 11-06 to Astech for Division A in the amount of $288,937.40 and North Valley Paving for Division B in the amount of $276,664.34.
