City Engineer Westby replied at previously the City was unsure of the timing of the Anoka County <br /> project and what that project would entail. He stated that the City prefers to get this work <br /> completed to avoid additional project costs that could come from completing the work after the <br /> County project. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove commented that it seems to make sense to get ahead of this and attempt <br /> to obtain the best pricing. <br /> Chairperson Riley asked the amount of the bids that were rejected. <br /> City Engineer Westby replied that this was not bid because they anticipated steep price inclines. <br /> Chairperson Riley agreed that it makes sense to provide as much time as possible for a contractor <br /> to lock in the best pricing. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Woestehoff, seconded by Councilmember Musgrove, to recommend <br /> City Council approval of Plans and Specifications and authorization to advertise for bids for <br /> Improvement Project#21-08, Water Treatment Plant Trunk Watermain Improvements. <br /> Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Riley, Councilmembers Woestehoff and Musgrove. <br /> Voting No: None. <br /> 6. COMMITTEE / STAFF INPUT (Continued) <br /> 6.02: Review Final Northwest Metro Regional Surface Water Supply Study <br /> City Engineer Westby reviewed the executive summary of the final Northwest Metro Regional <br /> Surface Water Supply Study.
