ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL—MAY 4, 2015 4 Councilmember Holmes believed that all properties within the neighborhood would be improved through the street reconstruction project. She reiterated that the City would be paying for 50% of the project. MOTION: Councilmember McClung moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion to Adopt Resolution #2015-029, Adopting Assessment Roll for the 2015 Pavement Management Program-Grant/Noble/Lake Lane Neighborhood. Councilmember McClung stated that he has not had any residents express concern about the fairness of the City's neighborhood Assessment Policy. He supported the proposed project and did not see any need to change the City's policy. He recommended that the properties at 3459 and 3453 Lake Johanna Boulevard remain within the Grant/Noble/Lake Lane project area. Mayor Grant questioned how the property at 1902 Noble was addressed by staff. Assistant City Engineer Anderson reported that additional drainage was being added at this property near the trail. He explained that additional drainage would also be added in the rear yard of 1911 Noble. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). B. Public Hearing—Award PMP Contract Assistant City Engineer Anderson stated that on February 23, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution 2015-013 (Venus/Crystal) and Resolution 2015-014 (Grant/Noble/Lake Lane) approving the Plans and Specifications and Ordering the Advertisement for Bids. Bids were opened on Thursday, March 19, 2015. Assistant City Engineer Anderson indicated that one bid was solicited for both 2015 PMP neighborhoods and that the bid contained two alternates. The first alternate bid was for the use of HDPE (plastic) pipe for the storm sewer. This alternate turned out to actually be more expensive and therefore, staff is not recommending it be awarded. The second alternate was for water replacement in the Venus/Crystal neighborhood. To give the Council some options, the worst water main (highest break history) replacement was put into the base bid, with the areas with a lesser break history placed in an alternate bid. Based on the bids received (these were the costs presented at the assessment hearing), staff is recommending award of Alternate No. 2 replacing more water main in the Venus/Crystal neighborhood. Assistant City Engineer Anderson reported that there were a total of eight bids received. The following table lists the bidders name and their total bid including Alternate No. 2 (but not Alternate No. 1): Bidder Total Bid including Alt. No. 2 Valley Paving, Inc. $3,896,796.88 Astech Corporation $4,233,026.72 Palda& Sons, Inc. $4,294,821.86
