AWARD OF BIDS ON FIELD HOUSE REMODELING
Mr. Dietrich.of Progressive Design Associates was present and a
letter from Mr. Tom' Van Housen was submitted recommending award of
bids to Roger Sheehy Construction Co. for a total bid of $81,800.
Mayor Nawrocki asked where the money for the extra' .$41,800 would
come from as'only $40,000 was budgeted for the remodeling work.
The City Manager suggested issuing a certificate of indebtedness
to be repaid the following year. Councilman Land said he would go
along with the City Manager's suggestion and said it is the only
building of its size in Columbia Heights and we should do all of the
work.or none of it as it is too costly to split up the work. With
the Architects fees included, the total cost will be about $90,000
or $50,000 more than was budgeted. Mayor Nawrocki suggested that
$50,000 budgeted this year for the'new city shop building be used
and proposed that we authorize award of the contract, include in
the action a statement to the effect that it is the intent of the
Council that unless some other means can be found to make up the
difference, that the $50,000 budgeted for the shop be earmarked for
this payment. Councilman Jeska suggested approving the bid, indicating
that the City Manager make every effort to find the money in the
budget and if it cannot be found, the Council will have to transfer
money from the liquor fund rather than tying down the shop funds.
Land does not want to tie down the shop funds either. The City
Attorney said it is illegal to commit money from the budget that
has not been budgeted for and we cannot enter into a contract unless
the money has been budgeted for but we can issue an emergency debt
certificate as was done on the H.U.D. project. Motion by Jeska,
seconded by King to accept the bid of the Roger Sheehy Construction
Company in the amount of $60,800 plus add alternate #1 in the amount
of $4,680 and add alternate #2 in the amount of $16,400 for
field house remodeling work and that the Mayor and City Manager
be authorized to enter into a contract for same. The amount of
$50,000 in the 1970 budget designated for the new city shop is
hereby re-designated for the field house remodeling work and the
City Manager is instructed to re-examine the 1970 budget and review
the same and propose any revisions to enable the city shop to be
constructed in the 1970 calendar year. Roll Call: King, Jeska,
Nawrocki - Ayes. Land, - Nay.
