Class A Charitable Gambling Premises Permit renewal application at Pot 0' Gold. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). D. Seal coating Bids Mr. Brown eXplained that bids were received and opened for the 1999 Seal Coating Project on July 21, 1999. One bid was received from Allied Blacktop in the amount of $25,970. The bid included a 10 percent bond as required by the Project Manual and was verified. e Mr. Brown indicated that one issue with this bid was that the Contractor did not include a bid price for slurry seal coating the park trails, indicating that a subcontractor was not available to perform the work. Slurry seal coating in the metro area is predominately accomplished by a contractor located in Madison Wisconsin. BR W contacted this contractor and they indicated that they are too busy to do work in the Twin Cities this year on projects with small scopes such as that included in the trail portion ofthe project. Therefore, Allied Blacktop did not include a bid for this work. The project includes seal coating of Valentine Lake Road which was reconstructed in 1995 and received a final bituminous wear course in 1996. The pavement markings on Valentine Lake Road are a pre-formed type, manufactured by 3M and designed to last longer than standard painted or epoxy tape markings. Seal coating of this street would cover all of the existing markings before the end of their useful life. In order to preserve the markings, they must be covered with tape prior to the seal coating operation. Included in the bid were provisions to preserve a single dashed yellow centerline, stop bars and turn lanes. The contract bid amount for this work was $1,550. The City Engineer estimates that the cost to protect all of the existing markings would be approximately $10,000. This was not included in the contract, as this would cost almost as much as the sealcoating, which was approximately $12,000. The Contractor had indicated a willingness to protect all of the existing markings at a cost of approximately $8,900. If the City Public Works Department was to contribute some labor in the removal of the tape, the cost for this work would be reduced approximately $1,700. Therefore there would be an approximate $7,200 expense to protect the entire street markings on Lake e Valentine Road, plus City staff time.
