6. REVIEW OF SUNDIAL BIDS
Nathan Stewart, Staff Engineer, noted that Mel Shields was the lowest bidder in the rebidding
process. Mr. Stewart mentioned that the dewatering item had been removed from the bid
requirement and that the compaction testing requirement had been reworded, and that these
changes had likely resulted in lower bids.
Mr. Shields noted that the granite supplier would be delivering directly to the construction site.
Chairman Fereday asked if the pathway could handle the weight. Mr. Sheilds indicated that he
would want to work out any logistics associated with the pathway prior to construction. Dennis
Coyle, Parks and Recreation Director, indicated that he would work with the relevant contractor to
arrange that any damage caused would be paid by the contractor.
The Board briefly discussed whether to proceed with the base or alternative bids.
Member Bailey moved to award the sundial contract to Mel Sheilds, LLC for the alternative bid for
$60,498. Member Youde seconded the motion. The motion carried.
Member Youde noted that Mel and Dennis would work out the pathway damages issue. Member
Youde also asked who would be inspecting the concrete work. Mr. Stewart noted that Dennis and

for inspection.

Member Youde asked if the City -owned parcel on Davis Street would be subject to Design Review.
Staff noted that all public projects were subject to Design Review. Member Youde noted that the

structure if the agency were to accept it as a donation.

needed to discover and utilize one, official name of the urban renewal agency. Chairman Fereday
noted that the original documents creating the agency should be checked. Staff asked the Chairman
if he could do this. He replied that he would.
9. NEXT MEETING
The board noted that the next meeting was March 15, 2010.
The board raised and discussed the issue of cleaning up the lakefront on the area north of the
marina and south of Browns Park. The board discussed jurisdictional, ownership, and responsibility
issues. Ultimately, the board noted that the relevant agencies, boards, and organizations needed to
meet to address the issue of docks on the lake, especially as it relates to the refuse that accumulates
on the City's waterfront.
Member Bailey switched topics noting the committee that had been created to commemorate the
100th anniversary of McCall's incorporation. He described the project that the committee was
pursuing on the southeast corner of 3rd Street and Lenora Street. After discussing the project with
