asked to explain the reason for the special called meeting.
Approve - Water Main Installation for Completion of Contract No 2 - Bond Program
In 1969, the City Council approved a contract with Whitelak, Inc. for the
installation of arterial water maing but a section of the construction had to be
deferred because the required right -of -way had not been negotiated. Mr. Whitehead,
President of Whitelak, Inc., had given the City a letter extending the contract, at
the prices shown in the bid, and the company will be available to complete the
remaining portion of theproject when the right -of -way is acquired and the City
issues a work order. The letter was dated February 23, 1971. The right - of-way
has now been negotiated and the project can proceed toward completion. Mr. Whitehead
is willing to do the work or terminate the contract depending upon the decision of
the Council. It was pointed out that the unit prices received on the two lowest
bids received on the Phase II arterial water mains were much lower than the unit
prices quoted in the Whitelak, bid. Should the Council decide to add this project
to the present contract of Bayshore Constructors it would realize a savings of
approximately $6,000. Councilmen Kloesel and Lander preferred advertising for bids
for the completion of the project - this would delay the project approximately
six weeks. When asked, City Attorney Richardson stated that the Council could
legally add this additional work to the current contract of Bayshore Constructors
if it so elected. Mr. Busch proposed to include additional proposed construction
to the project should bids be sought as the project was too small for receiving
favorable bids. Following further discussion, Councilman Walker moved to add this
work to the lowest contract now in process. Councilman Stasney seconded the motion.
The vote follows:
Ayes: Councilman Walker, Stasney and McWilliams
Mayor Walker
Nays: Councilman Kloesel and Lander
Adjourn
There being no further business to come before the Council, the motion was
made by Councilman Stasney, seconded by Councilman Walker that the meeting adjourn.
The ayes were unanimous and the Mayor declared the meeting adjourned.
