SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TUESDAY, JULY 18, 2000
Vice President Mlinar called the meeting to order at 7:00 a.m. with the following
members present: Vice President John Mlinar, Council Member Jim Haugen, Kay
Peterson and Duane Hoversten. Absent: Mayor Marlin Torgerson. Also present: City
Administrator Gary D. Plotz and City Attorney Marc A. Sebora.
Engineer Scott Young of Earth Tech reviewed the five bids received on July 11, 2000 for
the composting facility, buildings and concrete work. He noted that the original bids
were on file at City Center.
Young reported there was insufficient clarification in the advertisement for bids that
prevailing wage rates were required to be paid on this construction project. Since the
City must comply with State Statute requirements, it was the recommendation of Earth
Tech to rebid the project with stated clarification concerning prevailing wages and to
reject the bids received on July 11,2000.
Motion by Hoversten, second by Peterson to reject all bids and readvertise the project.
Motion carried with Haugen abstaining from voting.
Mlinar presented Resolution No. 11528 to accept the bid and award the contract for
Letting No. 11, Project No. 00-25.
Motion by Peterson, second by Hoversten to adopt Resolution No. 11528. Motion
unanimously carried.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 7:20 a.m.
