Regular City Council Meeting Monday,August 14, 2017 Page 13 Councilmember McGehee opined that residents should not have to pay a fee to use them. Trying to increase the revenue for the buildings requires drawing that revenue from outside the community which brings traffic and non-residents into those residential neighborhoods with park buildings. Councilmember McGehee agreed with generating more revenue in general as suggested by Councilmember Laliberte. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Etten and Roe. Abstentions: McGehee Nays: None. Motion carried. McGehee moved, Willmus seconded, acceptance of ALTERNATES #2 (certi- fied lumber at a cost of $82,000) and #3 (exterior roof materials at a cost of $6,600) from the low bid as presented from Jorgenson Construction at a cost of $90,000, $82,000, and $6,600 respectively, with funding sources yet to be fmalized; and directing staff toward further negotiation with Jorgenson Con- struction on glazing costs for Alternate #1 (bird friendly glass, currently pro- jected at$90,000). Mr. Brokke stated that he wasn't sure if the city attorney would approve negotiat- ing bids as presented. Mayor Roe concurred, suggesting that it would be prudent to reject Alternate 1 and ask staff to enter into negotiations, and if no subsequent agreement was reached, the city would not have accepted Alternate#1. Councilmember Willmus noted that this bidder's proposal for Alternate #1 was significantly higher than that of Project One Construction. City Attorney Gaughan advised that there were limited scenarios where additional negotiations would be allowed for a low bid. Mr. Gaughan offered his assistance to staff for that process. However, Mr. Gaughan stated the importance in know- ing what the actual motion is; and whether or not Alternate#1 is accepted at a cap of$90,000 or another figure, or if it was not accepted. Mr. Gaughan asked that the City Council keep in mind that this is an all or nothing scenario, and that the contract components could not be broken up, and would require seeking different bids on portions on of the contract. Therefore, Mr. Gaughan suggested rewording of the motion accepting all three Alternates with a cap of$90,000 on Alternate#1. As seconder of the motion, Councilmember Willmus stated that $90,000 for glaz- ing seemed excessive causing him some concerns. Councilmember Etten asked Mr. Brokke to address the air quality system (Alter- nate#3).
