4. McCALL LAKEFRONT IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
The Board reviewed a memo from Hilary Bradbury, Holland & Hart, regarding the
selection process. The Board discussed the Knife River bid, and the lack of public works
licenses for two subcontractors. The Board agreed that both State law and the
Instructions to Bidders require that all named subcontractors have public works licenses
at the time the bid is submitted. The Board agreed that Knife River's bid must be
rejected, making Hillside Landscape Construction the apparent low bidder.
Ms. Roberts confirmed that Hillside and their named subcontractors have all of the
required licenses. She recommended awarding the bid to Hillside.
Mr. Watkins moved to award the contract to Hillside, for schedules A, B and C1-C6, for a
total of $1,922,793.25. Mr. Bailey seconded the motion. In a voice vote, all members
voted in favor. MOTION CARRIED.
Ms. Roberts discussed the next steps, explaining that she would work with Hillside to get
the required insurance and other items before a notice to proceed can be issued. She
suggested that a Partnering Meeting be held, at approximately the same time as the
Pre -Construction Meeting. She explained that Hillside, the Board or its representative,
Hillside, Tim Swanson, and stakeholders such as The Hotel McCall would all be invited
to participate. The Board was very supportive of the idea.
The Board discussed the possibility of removing snow from the site prior to the normal
snow melt, in an effort to allow an early start. Cliff Yochum, Hillside Landscape
Construction, explained that he would like to start two parts of the project before the
snow would naturally melt, while the lake is still low. The Board was very supportive of
any efforts to remove snow and get an early start. Mr. Eisenstein and Ms. Trapp will
work with Mr. Yochum.
Mr. Eisenstein reported that he is still working on the dumpster situation at McCall Mall.
