r~ity of <br /> <br />River <br /> <br />Item #4.3. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor & City Council <br /> <br />Pat Klaers, City Admin/i~ i~rgfor <br />July 14, 1997 <br /> <br />Consider Signal at 197th Avenue and <br />Highway 169 <br /> <br />At the June 16, 1997, meeting, it was the consensus of the Council to have <br />the city engineer prepare a resolution which would reject all bids for the <br />signalization work at 197th Avenue and Highway 169. The resolution to <br />reject the bids was presented to the City Council at the June 30, 1997, <br />meeting, but this item was withdrawn from the agenda and is now back <br />before the City Council for its consideration. Attached for your review is the <br />June 23, 1997, memo from the city engineer and the resolution which reject <br />the bids for signalization of this intersection. <br /> <br />Also attached is the June 13th memo from the city engineer which reviews the <br />bids for this signalization. There was some discussion at the June 30th <br />meeting that the low responsible bidder had an error in his tabulation and <br />wanted to make some adjustments in his bid proposal. The city engineer has <br />been advised by the low responsible bidder, Electric Service Company, that <br />their bid in the amount of $157,846.30 will stand as submitted (see <br />attachment). <br /> <br />If the Council rejects the bids for this signalization, then approval of the <br />attached resolution is the only action necessary for this agenda item. <br /> <br />If the Council has decided to approve the signalization of this intersection, <br />then the city engineer will have a resolution at the meeting that he will <br />distribute for Council consideration. This resolution would award the bid to <br />the low responsible bidder which is Electric Service Company. It should be <br />noted that if this bid is awarded, the signal will not be installed and in <br />operation until some time in early summer, 1998. <br /> <br />If the City Council does authorize the signalization of this intersection, then <br />it should also consider approval of the MnDOT/City of Elk River Traffic <br />Control Signal Agreement. This Agreement is attached for your review. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River, MN 55330 · (612) 441-7420 ° Fax: (612) 441-7425 <br /> <br /> <br />
