Authorize Re-Bid of Expired Bid for Site Work/Utilities for Fire Station Bid Package#1 At the request of Mayor Roe, City Manager Malinen briefly reviewed the re- quested action on the RCA dated July 16, 2012. Due to continued delays with litigation, City Manager Malinen advised that the contractor was unable to ex- tend their bid without significantly increasing the cost of their contract; and ac- cording to provisions included in the bid package through a change order, staff recommended re-bidding the contract for site work and utilities. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, City Manager Malinen clarified that the original bid was based on materials available for the project at literally no cost; however, in the ensuing months and ongoing delays, those materials had been used elsewhere on other projects. City Manager Malinen estimated the additional cost was between$20,000 to $25,000. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, City Manager Malinen clarified that the rebidding was specific to the contract for site/earth work, utilities,build- ing foundation and paving all under one (1) contract. This was confirmed by Fire Chief Tim O'Neill in the audience. Councilmember McGehee expressed concern that the original comments of Fire Chief O'Neill promised that the referendum would serve as a back-up plan; however, was now not possible. Councilmember McGehee opined that if a ref- erendum had proceeded back in April, it could have gone forward without the need to rebid. Councilmember McGehee opined that the City Council had not done a good service by their Fire Chief in providing a proper flow of resources by refusing to have a referendum on this item. McGehee moved, Johnson seconded authorizing the Fire Department to seek re- bids for site work and utilities as outlined in Bid Package#1.
