Leonard made motion to allow Stanley Consultants to review all bids and make a final recommendation to the Board on October 23, 2014 at the 6:30 pm meeting, Kramer second. Burger asked if this was enough time for Stanley Consultants to do their review and Colgan said he had confirmed that with them. All ayes, motion passed.
Colgan explained Change Order #8 from Lunda Construction which relates to the operator bridge. It was determined there was not enough good concrete to save. Several options were considered but this option was considered the safest and most cost effective. The change order proposes a new galvanized steel bridge and will be across all 3 gate openings. Motion to approve change order by Burger, Kramer second. Gifford asked what alternatives were looked at and Colgan advised that if they removed the concrete it may not be safe. In addition once the concrete is removed it may be so bad, we would have to replace it anyway. Colgan indicated that the proposed galvanized steel is approximately $90,000 cheaper than replacing the bridge with concrete. This work replaces other work that would need to be done so there is some savings from the $139,800 request. Vote taken on motion, all ayes, motion passed.
Kray made motion to change the regular scheduled October meeting to October 23rd, Leonard second. No discussion, motion passed, all ayes.
Public comments – a representative from Cramer Construction asked if the alternate bids had been read. There was an option to propose a figure for an earlier construction end date. All 3 bidders gave a ‘no bid’ to this option.
Ben Pasker asked if there was structural value in the change order. Colgan advised yes as this bridge will be the access for equipment and gate hoists.
Motion to adjourn by Kray, Leonard second, all ayes, motion passed. Meeting adjourned at 1:45 pm.
