<br />~ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 26, 1999 <br /> <br />17 <br /> <br />this time there is no indication that access will not be granted, just that it will not happen in time <br />to award the contract. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated that he had pursued a number of alternatives with Mr. Woodhouse, <br />including ideas such as starting work without authorized right-of-entry. Mr. Woodhouse had <br />indicated that this would not be acceptable. Therefore, the City is in a situation where it does not <br />have the ability to award the contract by the end of this week. He did expect that the City would <br />receive the authority to award the contract in the near future. <br /> <br />Mr. Fritsinger stated that Mr. Woodhouse had returned a call to him last Friday afternoon. At <br />that time he had been out of the office, however, Mr. Post did speak with Mr. Woodhouse. He <br />asked Mr. Post to summarize this conversation. <br /> <br />Mr. Post stated that Mr. Woodhouse was not confident in providing a date certain for access to <br />the property. Additionally, Mr. Woodhouse had felt that 90 days would be aggressive. In spite <br />ofthis, Mr. Woodhouse had stated that he would continue working on the situation. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated that one problem is the fact that the series of three documents require <br />signatures beyond Mr. Woodhouse's level and he does not have the ability to control the timing <br />of these signatures. The indication had been that the first document could be ready this week. <br />However, once Mr. Woodhouse signs off on this document, there are five other signatures that <br />are required. Mr. Woodhouse had indicated that there would be additional leverage to having <br />this accomplished once the legislation is passed. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst reluctantly agreed that there would be no way of awarding the contract this week. <br />He was not sure if adopting the Resolution to reject the bids would be an advantage or <br />disadvantage. <br /> <br />Councilmember Malone stated that adopting the Resolution would bring closure this issue and <br />would also allow the City to extend its appreciation to the Contractors who had submitted bids. <br /> <br />MOTION: <br /> <br />Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Larson seconded a motion to <br />adopt Resolution #99-22, formally rejecting the bids for the new City Hall <br />construction project, and that the City extend its appreciation to Rochon <br />Corporation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked, if it may be 90 days or more before the City gains access to the <br />TCAAP property, is the City at a point where it should not expect construction to begin until <br />spring of next year. Mayor Probst stated that this was correct. Councilmember Larson noted that <br />the City would have to go out for bids on this project again once access is granted. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated that the City should consider where the market is at that time and indicate to <br />the Contractor that the project can begin when it is convenient and require a completion date. He <br />noted that this would force the City into a third year of the lease for the current City Hall <br />location, which will result in the expenditure of additional funds. <br />
