Director of Public Works/Fire Chief Kapler advised that staff committed to get back to A1 Kempf <br />in ten days. He requested authorization for staff to call Mr. Kempf with an update from the <br />meeting tonight and to indicate there is a good chance that the Council will ratify it at their <br />meeting. <br /> <br />The Public Works Commission indicated no objection to this request. <br /> <br />Case #7: Update on Award of Water Tower #2 <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski explained that an error occurred when reading the Water Tower #2 bids <br />when the bids were opened and $1,550,000 was read but $1,445,000 was mistakenly written <br />down. He advised that the actual award was $10,000 more than staff reported and the Council <br />authorized but does not change the low bid. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated if it does not change the low bid he would support the <br />additional authorization. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen, seconded by Chairperson Zimmerman, to recommend <br />the additional authorization of $10,000 for the Water Tower #2 bid. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Zimmerman and Councilmember Hendriksen. Voting <br />No: None. Absent: None. <br /> <br />Case #8: Update on 143rd Avenue between Jaspar Street and County Road #116 <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson stated the City included the extension of 143rd Avenue N.W. in the 2000 <br />C.I.P. and completed negotiations with the Sauter property to allow him to develop a portion of <br />the Maken property. He presented the additional streets that would be required to develop the <br />Maken property. Staff recommends authorization of the addition of Ebony Street N.W. and the <br />extension of 141st Avenue N.W. to the 143rd Avenue N.W. street and utility project funded via <br />TIF. Staff also recommends the authorization of $70,000 to Hakanson-Anderson in time allotted <br />to survey and plat the property. City Engineer Olson noted the area needed for easement and <br />recommended hiring Evergreen Land Services to survey the easement at a cost estimate of about <br />$1,500 per parcel. City Engineer Olson presented a map and pointed out areas that would need <br />to be purchased for right-of-way. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen inquired what the impetus is for installing 143rd Avenue at this <br />time. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson stated it would provide access to land for commercial and industrial <br />development as well as provide for utilities. He stated there is also a benefit in being able to loop <br />the watenr~ain. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee/July 18, 2000 <br /> Page 8 of 12 <br /> <br /> <br />
