COUNCIL BUSINESS 7.01: Adopt Resolution #26-065 Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract for Flintwood Hills ndrd 2 & 3 Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project #26-05 Assistant City Engineer Feriancek presented plans to reconstruct streets in the Flintwood Hills neighborhood east of Dysprosium Street, noting that the roads, built between 1985 and 1987, have deteriorated beyond simple overlay repair. Field reviews showed about 37 percent of the curb and gutter would require replacement, leading the Public Works Committee to recommend full curb-and-gutter reconstruction. The project will upgrade the street section to approximately 3.5 inches of bituminous pavement over 6 inches of aggregate base, remove about 1,400 cubic yards of excess sand, and replace driveways as needed. At the same time, only one storm sewer segment requires replacement after utility review. Bids, which opened March 3, produced nine submissions, with North Valley Inc. as the lowest bidder at $792,282.86, about 25 percent below the engineer’s estimate. This brings the total project cost to about $974,507, which is below the $1.168 million capital improvement plan estimate. If approved, staff will hold a pre-construction meeting and coordinate with the contractor, with substantial completion scheduled for August 28. Mayor Heineman commented that the City Council has become familiar with these types of reconstruction projects and thanked staff for the presentation. He said it was a helpful overview of the project. He then asked if the City Council had any questions for City staff. Seeing none, he thanked the staff again for preparing the information and presentation.

Police Chief Bluml stated the changes will ensure consistent enforcement and compliance within the City and noted the City Attorney reviewed and approved the proposed revisions. Staff recommended that the City Council introduce the ordinance. City Council /March 10, 2026 Page 6 of 8
