MOTION by Edwards to approve the March 2, 1993 minutes as printed. SECOND
by Carroll. Ayes: 6. Nays: 0.
Economic Development Coordinator Miller reviewed the demolition bid
documents for the removal of the buildings on the Community Center/Armory
site. Commissioners questioned whether a couple of the pole buildings
could be taken down and moved to a location for city use. Public Works
Director Wasmund advised that significant money would be needed to move the
buildings to another site. City Attorney Miles voiced a concern that
asbestos removal was not addressed in the specifications. Consensus was
reached to include a section to cover asbestos removal. Discussion
continued regarding a completion deadline and whether to include an
incentive clause for early completion. Consensus was reached to move the
June 1st completion deadline back one week to May 24th and not include an
incentive or penalty clause.
Commissioner Edwards suggested that staff be given, by motion, authority to
publish the required notices, award the bid, and administer the contract
including changes in the contract price as authorized by staff up to 10
percent of the bid price.
After Board discussion, MOTION by Edwards to approve the bid documents (as
amended) and to direct the Port Authority staff to publish the required
notices. SECOND by Anderson.
Commissioner Sinnwell took his chair at 5:55 p.m.
Commissioner Sinnwell requested that discussion continue in regard to the
Excavation and Grading section of the bid document. He suggested that
bringing in fill, grading, and compacting the area after demolition was an
unnecessary cost because the area would be excavated again at a later time.
Public Works Director Wasmund advised that this section was included to
make sure that positive site drainage was maintained. Commissioner
Sinnwell agreed that some grading of the site was needed and suggested that
the section be re -written to emphasize that fill not be brought in. Staff
agreed to amend the section.
Ayes: Carroll, Anderson, Wippermann, Dunn, McMenomy, Edwards, Sinnwell.
Nays; 0.
Mr. Jim White, of White Funeral Home, was introduced by Economic
