3. Carico LID - Report of Bid Opening. Mr. Burton gave a legal opinion on the council's options
with respect to alleged irregularities in the bid presented by P&M Excavators. George Bezates
spoke stating the bid bond submitted by P&M Excavators was not valid when the bids were
opened and information subsequently received should not be considered. Brian McMahon,
representing P&M Excavators spoke noting that the council may waive minor irregularities, that
the amounts and circumstances were minimal and inconsequential and that the city expressly
approved the use of the bond form. After further discussion Mr. Colton moved to award the
contract to P&M Excavators for $480,648. Ms. Arp seconded. At a roll call vote, Mr. Colton,
Ms Arp, Mr. Eckhardt and Mr. Killen voted "aye." Mr. Martens voted "nay." The motion
carried.
East Highway SS LID. Gary Swain, a property owner within the district made a presentation.
He expressed concern over the costs and made the following suggestions regarding the following:
-Relocate the pump station constructed by Jacob's Manor in lieu of constructing a new
pump station.
-If the original station must be used, the owners should be entitled to some
reimbursement if other users make use of the station.
-If the original station must be used and is later abandoned, that it be used elsewhere in
the system and that the LID owners be reimbursed for the value of the reused parts.
-Questioned the need for looped water lines.
-Questioned why the LID owners should pay for the drainage culvert across the
Spradling property.
Bob Furman of Toothman-Orton Engineers then responded, noting that the Jacob's Manor
station was a high maintenance station and did not conform to the standards given him by the
Public Works Director. He pointed out that with looped water lines, there is redundancy for fire
fighting when flow is interrupted from one direction. He will investigate the reusability of the
pump station and parts.
