I I I Council Meeting Minutes August 11, 1992 Page 3 Council Business. continued Council authorized the project, but requested staff to investigate the feasibility of a 30 inch pipe versus the proposed 27 inch pipe. The additional cost to extend the 30 inch pipe would be $2,500 which the City would pay. The City bid the contract with an add on to substitute 30 inch pipe for 27 inch pipe. Five bids were received and the low bid came from Frattalone Excavating for $69,330.30. This is a good bid and is close to the City's estimate. Rebelein asked why special assessments have been certified to Ramsey County for collection with real estate taxes. Proper said the improvement and assessment hearings were held simultaneously to allow the appeal period to expire before proceeding with the bids. This was done to insure that the assessments would be in place for the project. In Proper's opinion, the 27 inch pipe is sufficient enough to handle the runoff in that area, and he does not recommend the larger pipe. Proper said Frattalone Excavating has not had a contract with the City, but staff is very familiar with their work on private projects. Their equipment is in excellent working order and staff is comfortable with their expertise. Gunderman favors the installation of the 30 inch pipe, and feels it is better to spend $2,500 now than fix a more expensive problem in the future. Williams supports the 30 inch pipe in this case, but feels Council should not make a precedence in the approval of oversized projects. He noted that in most cases, the City's engineering calculations have been correct. Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Larson, to AWARD THE BID FOR PROJECT 92-2, OAKWOOD DRIVE STORM SEWER, TO F.M. FRATTALONE EXCAVATING IN THE AMOUNT OF $69,330.30; AND APPROVE THE 30 INCH PIPE, WHICH WILL BE PAID BY THE CITY. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. Proper presented the bid for the 1992 Street Sealcoating, curbing and sidewalk repair. The only bid received was from Allied Blacktop Company in the amount of $50,847.99. Allied specializes in sealcoating and has done the majority of sealcoating in New Brighton over the past 20 years. The streets to be sealcoated lay north of 1-694 and west of Silver Lake Road. Streets sealcoated in the last 7 years will not be done. North lnnsbruck Drive will not be sealcoated because major work will be performed next year. The aggregate material used will be rounded and much smoother than the product used in the Olde Town area.
