Business Item
4. Eagle Elevator Bid
Because there wasn’t a quorum the HRA decided to have staff present the item, answer
questions and then recess until Tammi could attend the meeting. Scott explained the main
elevator at Parkview Villa is not working and needs repair. Staff deemed this an emergency
and had CommonBond staff get a quote for the repair, because the amount of the repair is
over $15,000 a special meeting was called by Chair Diehm for approval by the board. Only
one bid was received due to the contract we have with Eagle elevator, other elevator
companies will not do work when there is an existing contract involved.
Questions from members:
Nawrocki asked what caused this. Laura explained it was a drive shaft that went out, the parts
are obsolete and need to be redesigned, which is driving the price up. Nawrocki asked how
long we have had a contract with Eagle and if we think they are doing a good job. Laura said
since 2004 and so far they have been adequate. Nawrocki suggested looking at the contract
and maybe consider not renewing and going out for other bids. Gary asked how long a drive
shaft should last? Laura thought 20 years, it has been over 30 years for this one.
Motion by Nawrocki, second by Kelzeberg to continue the meeting until another HRA
member comes in order to establish a quorum. All Ayes, Motion Passed.
The meeting was called back to order at 6:20pm upon Commissioner Diehm’s arrival. A
quorum was established. Diehm asked if everyone’s questions were answered and if anyone
had anything to add.
Motion by Peterson, second by Kelzenberg to approve the Eagle Elevator Repair bid dated
December 9, 2010 in the amount of $19,650. Motion passed unanimously.
Chair Diehm thanked Bruce Kelzenberg for his service to the HRA Board.
Adjourned at 6:23pm.
Respectfully Submitted,
Sheila Cartney, Assistant Community Development Director
