CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 93-59,
APPROVING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR PROJECT
93-11 (WATERFRONT PASSAGE BUSINESS PARK), AND
DIRECf STAFF TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS
JULY 19, 1993
AGENDA NUMBER:
PREPARED BY:
SUBJECT:
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this Agenda item is to approve or reject the plans
and specifications for Project 93-11, and to direct staff to ~dvertise
for bids.
BACKGROUND:
On March 15, 1993, a Public Hearing was held, whereas the City
Council authorized the preparation of plans and specifIcations for
improvements to the business office park.
DISCUSSION:
The plans and specifications for the improvements to the business
office park are available for review at City Hall. These
improvements include street paving with curb and gutter, sanitary
sewer, stonn sewer, watennain, concrete sidewalks and bituminous
trails. lighting is also being considered at the intersections and
possibly along the roadways. Staff will be presenting some
alternatives at the Council meeting.
Soil borings taken last year indicated perched water in the soils on
this site. The design of the improvements had to account for this
problem. However, due to heavier than usual rains this year, city
crews will be constructing a ditch to help drain and dry the soils,
which will help stabilize the site before the bids are submitted and
improvements are installed.
Assuming the final plat has been approved, staff is requesting City
Council to approve the plans and specifications for the
improvements. The bid opening would be at 10:00 A.M., August
16, 1993, with the bid award at the August 16, 1993 Council
Meeting.

ALTERNATIVES:
The following is a list of the alternatives:
1. Approve Resolution 93-59 approving the plans and
specifIcations, and authorizing advertisement for bids.
2. Do not approve Resolution 93-59 for specific reasons.
3. Table this item for specific reasons.
BUDGET IMPACT: The project cost for the Business Office Park, as presented in the
Feasibility Study, was estimated at $1,334,000. This estimate
included costs for streets, sanitary sewer, water, storm sewer, and
rough grading of the site, but did not include fmal lot grading or
street lighting. Although an engineer's estimate has not been
included with this agenda report, an update will be provided at the
meeting. Construction costs for this project will be difficult to
estimate because of the unusually wet weather, and its affect on
prices. By excavating the drainage ditch to help stabilize the site,
staff is anticipating more favorable bids than what would be
expected with the current conditions.
RECOMMENDATION: The recommendation, assuming final plat has been approved, is for
City Council to approve Resolution 93-59.
ACTION REQUIRED: Make a motion to approve or deny Resolution 93-59.
