Mr. Cleaver's recommendation is to select Granite Excavation to perform the base bid work. Mr.
Cleaver felt that Granite Excavation's bid for Alternative Additive Bid 4 was too high and Mr. Stewart
agreed.
Richard Jordan and Falvey Corporation also submitted bids which were about $10,000 over the bid
submitted by Granite Excavation.
Mr. Stewart said that the Pedestrian Ramps could be removed from the bid if the cost needed to be
brought down. Mr. Cleaver said that they could be removed from the contract with a change order.
There was continued discussion.
Member Bailey moved to award the contract for the Base Bid to Granite Excavation, without the
Pedestrian Ramps, for a total of $109,951. Member Youde seconded the motion. The roll call vote:
Member Bailey -yes. Member Youde-yes. Member Peugh-yes. Member Pietri-yes. Chair Fereday-no.

the Thursday before Labor Day and start back up on Tuesday after Labor Day. The construction can

Mr. Cleaver stated the Pre -construction meeting will be on August 13th
Ms. Groenevelt asked Nathan Cleaver and Nathan Stewart what the status is with the construction
documents for the 2010 Improvement Project for the transfer of ownership between MRA and the
City. Mr. Cleaver and Mr. Stewart said that there are some warranty issues with Granite and once
they are in agreement, it can be closed out and they can go ahead with the transfer.
6. MRA BOUNDARY EXPANSION UPDATE
Ms. Groenevelt stated that she is working with Bill Nichols on the boundary expansion. Mr. Nichols
asked if it is an expansion of the boundary itself or of the revenue collection area. He said that if you
expand the revenue collection area the process becomes more complex.
Ms. Groenevelt said that she needed clarification of the intentions of the board to move forward.
The Boundary Expansion Update has been publicly noticed and letters have been sent to property
owners and all taxing districts.
Chair Fereday has spoken to property owners and they are not opposed to the expansion. There
were no public comments received or any response from the taxing districts.
Ms. Groenevelt will get cost estimates from Mr. Nichols for the next meeting. She will email the
2006 plan amendment to the board for review.
Ms. Groenevelt said that staff can prepare the documentation which will include a resolution for
City Council.

7. EAST LAKE STREET MERCHANTS WAYFINDING SIGN MAINTENANCE
Mr. Stewart said that during the Centennial Plaza project the sign was removed and both of the
posts were rotted and some maintenance needed to be done. The cost to replace these posts has
been researched and it would be about $450.
Mr. Stewart asked who owns the sign and who installed it. Chair Fereday stated that the MRA board
paid for the sign but that is the extent of their involvement. He said that the East Lake Street
Merchants should pay for the replacement.
Public Works would install the sign.
Mr. Stewart asked Ms. Groenevelt to speak to the East Lake Merchants about the cost of the
