would be coning in for a project this size and <br /> than a minimum of 30 days, often 60 days, before <br /> bids are awarded. <br /> Szymanski stated that he felt somewhat uneasy with <br /> bids going out before the City has obtained final <br /> State approval as the State seeps to be "toying <br /> slowly and it could still take several weeks. <br /> Mohr expressed the sane concern. <br /> Phare agreed but felt that winter weather was fast <br /> approaching and the City needed to get this <br /> project going so the plant would be up and <br /> operable as soon as possible. Thar* suggested <br /> that during the bid process the City can postpone <br /> the data on which bids are accepted, but begin the <br /> bid process and if the site application is not in <br /> as the deadline approached, than postpone the bid <br /> data another 3 weeks. Phare explained that the <br /> desire to begin the bid process as quickly as <br /> possible was due to "a very good market* right now <br /> and the City could than 'apply • little pressure' <br /> to the State to get some action on the City's <br /> request as we have been more than patient in this <br /> situation. Also, awarding of bids would not take <br /> place most likely until the first of November and <br /> a construction period running as such as 12 <br /> months. It is nor* desirable to start the plant <br /> up before winter, hopefully October if the bid <br /> process could begin now. This is the <br /> recommendation of the engineering firs. <br /> Sundley concurred with Phare and recommended that <br /> Council proceed. <br /> Carnival suggested the contract have a clause <br /> stating that bids would not be opened or awarded <br /> until site application has been approved by the <br /> State. <br /> Mayor lauson moved' that Council authorize staff to <br /> obtain bids on the wastewater Treatment Plant <br /> Expansion Project. Sackett seconded. <br /> Carnival moved that an amendment to the motion be <br /> added to include language stating that bids would <br /> not be awarded until site application has been <br /> approved by the State. Szymanski seconded. <br /> Unanimous. <br /> Mayor tauson called for a vote on the notion with <br /> the amendment. The motion passed unanimously. <br /> STREET CLOSURE REQUEST A street closure request for Lois Circle was <br /> requested" for a block party on Saturday, Sept. 6, <br /> 2 <br />
