award was delayed to allow the Attorney time to rule on the omission of a part of the low bidder. We conferred with the engineer and the City Attorney and it's been determined that any advantage the low bidder would have received would be relatively insignificant and would not have made a difference in who was the low bidder. The City Attorney feels the omission does not constitute an unresponsive bid. Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to adopt Resolution #97-08-197 receiving bids and awarding contract for Improvement Project #96-24, Water Utility SCADA system to System Control Services in the amount of $66,560 for alternates A, B, and C, contingent upon this system networking with the City system and the approval of the Systems Administrator. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Haas Steffen, Beahen, Beyer and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Case #12: Award 1997 Trail Paving Bids City Administrator Schroeder summarized the four trail paving projects to award. 1) 153rd Avenue from Nowthen Boulevard to Municipal Center property at a not-to-exceed cost of $5,500 - funding source is the undesignated interest earnings from the Park Development fund; 2) Lake Itasca from the Trail Head to Andrie Court at a not-to-exceed cost of $30,000 - funding source is the Lake Itasca Trail and Trail Head Project Fund #452408; 3) Ramsey Elementary School to Sunwood Drive at a not-to-exceed cost of $14,750 - funding source is the critical trail link allocation (EDA) of the 1997 CIP; and 4) "Cottonwood" Park at a not-to-exceed cost of $40,000 - funding source would be the EDA. Feet could be added to link to Anoka Electric Cooperative, therefore, that funding would be an additional $10,000 from the AEC. Motion by Councilmember Beyer and seconded by Councilmember Haas Steffen to award bids for the 153rd Avenue project at a not-to-exceed cost of $5,500, contingent upon receiving authorization to proceed from the landowner, the Ramsey Elementary to Sunwood Project at a not-to-exceed cost of $14,750, the Lake Itasca Project at a not-to-exceed cost of $30,000 and the "Cottonwood" Park Project at a not-to-exceed cost of $40,000 for the City portion, and $10,000 for the AEC portion should AEC wish to provide funding for that segment, and that staff bring back a resolution for formal adoption by Council stating all this same information. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Beyer, Haas Steffen, Beahen and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Case #13: Initiation of Condemnation Proceedings for the Acquisition of the Property Required for Well No. 4 City Engineer Jankowski explained that the City has been in negotiations with the landowner of the property desired for Well No. 4 since December ! 996. City Administrator Schroeder voiced that the property owner is not opposed to the sale of his property of the well, it's just difficult for him to get to a meeting.
