F. 2001 Approved Capital Improvement Expenditure, Toro Groomer Pay Request #2, Gridor Construction, Inc., 2001 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project, $40,231.50 MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve the Consent Calendar and authorize execution of all necessary documents contained therein. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). PUBLIC COMMENTS Mayor Probst invited those present to come forward and address the Council on any items not already on the agenda. No public comments were made. UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS A. Storm Water Management Plan, Receipt of Requests for Proposal (RFP), Award of Contract Mr. Lynch explained the council should have the memorandum from the City Planner and Public Works Director. He noted staff is recommending the council award the contract to SEH, Inc. at $24, 941. He added that after review this is the response that is most appropriate to the proposal list. He stated they have the list of items necessary and required by law. He noted staff believes SEH, Inc. has the staff and ability to perform on time and as requested. Councilmember Larson stated in the SEH, Inc. proposal on page 14 there was a detailed cost estimate. He noted with the two items listed there is one price $10,000 less than the other. He added two of items did not have dollar items associated with them. He asked if this was because there were no charges. He stated he wanted to make sure it was not an oversight. Mr. Lynch responded on page 15 there is list of tasks, which has the amount of hours and some of the associated costs. Councilmember Larson asked if it is wrapped up in public education. Mr. Lynch responded the total hours column was not calculated correctly. Mayor Probst asked if they are standing by their price. Mr. Lynch responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Larson stated the two proposals are very different in the deliverables. He noted one has 60% in modeling work. He stated the fact that they are so different has him wondering if they are going to get what is needed since so much is tied up in the modeling. He noted he did not know what role modeling plays in the stormwater plan. Councilmember Rem stated she found it difficult to compare details for the two. She noted it is difficult to know what could be compared between the proposals. She added she hoped staff would have figured that out for them.
