Resolution
On motion of Trustee Bolmgren, seconded by Clerk Justad, the following
resolution was adopted by unanimous vote of all members of the Council present;
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING WITHDRAWAL OF SEWER
BID AND REJECTION OF ALL BIDS
WHEREAS, THE VILLAGE COUNCIL HAS HERETOFORE TAKEN BIDS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
OF STORM SEWER, KNOWN_AS STORM SEWER NO. 17-C, and has determined that_the bid
of De Graff Wolff was the lowest bid of a responsible bidder and has prepared
and submitted to him a contract for execution; that said DeGraff Wolff has in-
formed the Village Council in writing that in preparing hiss:bid he was not informed
that the Village was about to undertake construction of a sanitary sewer at the
same location and that he did not know until after opening of the bids that the
Village has entered into contract for the construction of sanitary sewer in Edge-
wood Avenue from 28th Street to 32nd Street; that construction of the sanitary
sewer commenced shortly after opening of said bids, and because of the extensive
excavation of the street, the conditions materially changed with respect to cons-
truction of a storm sewer at the same locality, and it appears to the Council
that until the soil is settled in said street, the cost of construction of storm
sewer will be greatly in excess of the cost of the construction of the same sewer
if the sanitary sewer had not been constructed and that to again excavate the
soil at this time will endanger the sanitary sewer, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the Village Council of the Village of St. Louis Park
that De Graff Wolff be permitted to withdraw said bid and that all bids submitted
for said sewer project be hereby rejected and that the project be held in abey-
ance until such time as the Village Engineer shall report that the soil condi-
tions exist so that it is proper to again proceed.
