PUBLIC HEARING <br /> <br />None. <br />7. COUNCIL BUSINESS <br />7.01: Adopt Resolution #23-061 Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract for Improvement <br />Project #21-09, Centralized Water Treatment Plant <br /> <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby reviewed the Staff report concerning the bids for the <br />water treatment plant. He reviewed the bids from the three parties. He added that all parties that <br />bid said the 24 month timeline is short considering current supply chain issues, and each party <br />built in risk costs because of this. He noted that the project manager from AE2S was also present <br />to review the project. <br /> <br />Aaron Vollmer, project manager from AE2S, came forward and reviewed more details of the <br />project and recommended the project be awarded to Magney Construction, Inc with their bid <br />amount of $31,528,500. He noted that they will need to be hiring a third party investor for this <br />project. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff shared his excitement for this project. He asked about the request for <br />$35,000 a month under the engineering proposal and what this money would be used for. <br /> <br />Mr. Vollmer explained that these funds would be for a project engineer. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked about the timeline and the delay in the design. <br /> <br />Mr. Vollmer stated that he did step in for the previous project manager, so he is not sure of all the <br />details surrounding the delay. He explained that the delay was likely due to the design needing to <br />be reviewed with the City and bid prices and supply chain issues. <br /> <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby explained the complexity of this project. He noted <br />that AE2S is providing the initial surveying and construction staking that is happening behind the <br />scenes. He added that the $35,000 is going towards more than just the project manager. He said <br />that there was a lot of back and forth between the City and AE2S that delayed the project. <br /> <br />City Council / March 28, 2023 <br />Page 4 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
