<br />Assistant City Engineer Feriancek noted that residents will be informed in advance of access <br />restrictions during construction, though access will be restored at the end of each workday. He also <br />stated that this is the first year since 2016 that the city will repair or replace impacted lawn <br />irrigation systems as part of reconstruction projects. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Feriancek stated that bids were opened on February 11, with eight bids <br />received and six below the engineer’s estimate. North Valley submitted the lowest bid at <br />approximately $1.66 million, significantly below the estimated cost. Including indirect costs, the <br />anticipated total project cost is approximately $2.04 million, which is below the capital <br />improvement plan estimate of $2.6 million. The proposal also includes awarding a construction <br />staking and as-built survey contract to Bolton and Menk. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Feriancek stated that construction timing will be determined following a <br />pre-construction meeting, after which residents will be notified of the schedule. He presented a <br />resolution to accept bids and award the contract to North Valley in the stated amount, including <br />the construction staking proposal. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Peters, seconded by Councilmember Stewart, to adopt Resolution #26- <br />048 accepting bids and awarding a contract to North Valley, Inc. for the total amount of <br />$1,659,0583.61 for Countryside Estates Street Reconstruction, Improvement Project #26-04. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Heineman, Councilmembers Buscher, Peters, Riley, and <br />Stewart. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmembers Olson and Specht. <br />7.02: Adopt Resolution #26-049 Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract for Section 01 <br />Unplatted Street Reconstruction, Improvement Project #26-07 <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Feriancek presented the Section 01 street reconstruction project at the <br />northeast corner of the city. The project includes approximately 1.44 miles of roadway, originally <br />constructed in 1980, with a mix of urban and rural street sections. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Feriancek explained that the geotechnical review identified the need for <br />soil correction in portions of the project area. The reconstruction will include three and a half <br />inches of asphalt over six inches of aggregate base, with additional sand correction required on <br />approximately half of the project area. Some areas will require the removal and replacement of up <br />to one foot of unsuitable soil. The existing bituminous curb will be replaced with a concrete <br />surmountable curb, and street crossing culverts will be replaced. In curb areas, flumes will be <br />replaced with catch basin inlets to improve long-term maintenance. There are no sanitary sewer or <br />water main improvements included in this project. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Feriancek noted that soil correction will increase resident impact and <br />slightly extend construction duration, but contractors will restore access at the end of each <br />workday. Bids were opened on February 12, with seven received and six below the engineer’s <br />estimate. North Valley was the low bidder at approximately $1.19 million, narrowly edging the <br />second bidder. Including indirect costs and construction staking by Bolton and Menk, the total <br />anticipated project cost is approximately $1.46 million.
