CITY HALL BID RESULTS AND ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF THE BIDS Dave Schott, representing the city's lead architects, Merritt and Pardini, said two bids had been received. The same bidders as previous, however, the bids came in considerably less and within reason to the architect's estimate. City Clerk/Treasurer Oestreich gave a report on the financial status of the project and the differences in costs between the two bidders. She was asked about the additional needed funding. ' Ms. Oestreich said the needed funds amounted to approximately $825,000. Part of it could be funded from Current Expense and part could possibly be funded from additional Councilmanic bond money, however, that may not be an option. The sale of the present city hall property was a definite requirement. Mr. Schott said Merritt+Pardini was recommending the bid be awarded to Cree Construction, however delay the bid award for a week to ten days to give the architects time to confer with ICBO to make certain everything was included and consult regarding some of their findings. Council Actions A motion was made by Councilmember Nash, second by Councilmember Hendricks to accept the proposal of the City's architectural firm, award the bid to Cree Construction and allow the architect's additional time to review everything with ICBO before awarding the bid. The motion carried 5-0. ADJOURNMENT - 5,30 p.m. Virg is E. Oestreich City Clerk/Treasurer - 1 -
