Absent: Commissioner Tossey. <br />5. HRA BUSINESS <br />5.01: Adopt Resolution #HRA -13 -05 -080 Accepting Plans and Specifications and <br />Authorizing Advertisement for Bids for COR TWO (Sunwood Retail) Stage 1 <br />Improvements <br />City Engineer Westby reviewed the staff report, two alternates, and staff's recommendation that <br />the HRA adopt Resolution #HRA -13 -05 -080 Accepting Plans and Specifications and <br />Authorizing Advertisement for Bids for the COR TWO (Sunwood Retail) Stage 1 improvements. <br />Staff also recommends approving bidding the construction of the temporary stormwater <br />improvements at this time as this will significantly reduce initial construction costs while <br />allowing for greater flexibility for future site development proposals. City Engineer Westby <br />advised that the estimated project cost has been adjusted down to $280,000. He reviewed the <br />funding sources and noted that their actions would not result in authorizing construction, as bids <br />will need to come back for Council approval at a future meeting. <br />Commissioner Strommen asked when the plans and specifications will be received and if the <br />contract contained a deadline. <br />Deputy Executive Director Gladhill stated he would have to review the contract to determine if it <br />contains a deadline. <br />City Engineer Westby stated staff anticipates receiving the documents before the next HRA <br />meeting. <br />Chairperson Backous stated he would like that information and Landform to perform as <br />indicated in the contract. <br />Commissioner Strommen asked that the HRA receive notice when the documents are received. <br />Commissioner LeTourneau asked how a bid can be let when the plans and specifications are not <br />yet completed. <br />City Engineer Westby stated staff completed a thorough review of the initial plans and found <br />nothing that would cause concern. He stated he believes the plans will be ready to bid and there <br />should be no issues addressing staff's comments. To move the project forward and allow <br />development of McDonald's parcel, HRA approval is needed. <br />Commissioner LeTourneau stated his biggest concern is the timeline and need for momentum. <br />Housing and Redevelopment Authority / May 14, 2013 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
