which would be a transportation priority. He stated that just because the Highway 10 project could be funded and under construction would not mean that is the end of the City's transportation goals. He stated that after the six-month period there could be further evaluation to determine how hard the City wants to push for its next goals or whether it would like to take a break. Motion by Councilmember Woestehoff, seconded by Councilmember Howell, to approve a six- month extension to the contract with The Tinklenberg Group. Motion carried.

Voting No: None. 7.02: Request Council Approval to Solicit Bids for Salt Shed and Quotes for Additional Equipment for the New Public Works Facility Public Works Superintendent Riemer reviewed the staff report and recommendation to accept the Oertel Architects design services proposal and solicit bids through Sourcewell for a new salt building approximately 80'x100' in size to be located on the east side of the new Public Works Facility. Staff also recommends soliciting quotes for a sweeper/scrubber for the New Public Works Facility through Sourcewell or The Minnesota CPV. All purchases would be brought back to the Council for final approval to purchase. Mayor Kuzma asked if the new salt shed would be in the range of about $5,000 to $6,000. Public Works Superintendent Riemer confirmed that is the range that was estimated through Oertel. He stated that this would simply be to solicit prices and for the Oertel contract for design services, any purchases would still come back to the Council. Councilmember Heineman asked if the City has to go through Sourcewell or if an RFP could also be used to view additional prices. Public Works Superintendent Riemer confirmed that an RFP could be done as well once the design is completed. Councilmember Heineman stated that he would also like to see the RFP completed. Councilmember Musgrove referenced the temporary use of the existing salt shed for storage, if the new salt shed is approved, and asked if the items stored in that shed would eventually need additional storage space at the Public Works Facility or whether those items would then be stored outdoors. Public Works Superintendent Riemer commented that currently the items are stored outdoors and tarped. He stated that in the future a smaller canopy structure could be used to store those items. Councilmember Riley stated that this is basically spending savings from the construction of the Public Works Facility on these items. City Council / July 13, 2021 Page 5of11
