5. Reports
a. Bid tabulation: Site improvements at Tower Place
Mr. Meyer said this item related to site improvements on the
Frauenshuh property, i.e. grading and excavation. An issue has
been raised relating to distribution of costs between the EDA and
the developer. Mr. Steilen addressed this issue, to wit, the
developer thought they were responsible for some $90,000 of the
costs while staff felt it was more in the area of $185,000. The
question was whether the contract should be awarded to the lowest
responsible bidder prior to making sure there is agreement with
F'rauenshuh to pay its fair share of the costs -- a number that
both parties accept. Two alternatives had arisen: award of
contract contingent on resolving that issue or to defer awarding
of the contract until the issue is resolved. On the first
alternative, Mr. Steilen was concerned about a legal issue.
It was moved by Commissioner Friedman to defer for two weeks;
however, if the question is resolved then the Executive Director
would be directed to award the contract to the lowest responsible
bidder.
