BALDUR PARK ROAD CONTRACT AWARD (continued) <br /> <br />In addition, Bolton & Menk provided an estimate for construction oversight not to exceed <br />$14,750. Edwards stated Item No. 4 in Staff’s report shows the cost breakdown of the project, <br />with the City receiving approximately $60,000 from FEMA towards this project. <br /> <br />Walsh asked how the City advertised this project. <br /> <br />Edwards indicated it was advertised in Blue Book and ads. <br /> <br />Walsh stated the goal is to get as many bids as possible. Walsh stated he would like to know <br />when the bid packages are ready but that he was not notified about this one. Walsh indicated he <br />knew a couple of people who would have liked to bid on this project and that he was little <br />chagrined to see that the bids were over and done with. <br /> <br />Edwards stated Bolton & Menk advertises the projects for the City and that they use Blue Book, <br />newspaper, and Commerce & Finance. <br /> <br />Walsh stated someone would need to know it is there and that he does not check it every day or <br />call to find out if the plans are completed. <br /> <br />McMillan asked how long the projects are advertised and available on the Bolton & Menk <br />website. <br /> <br />Martini indicated it varies and that the Watertown Road project was three weeks from the time it <br />was advertised until the bids were received. Martini indicated they typically advertise in Blue <br />Book, Finance, & Commerce, the City’s local newspaper, and on the City’s website. <br /> <br />Walsh requested he be notified when the plans are ready to go out for bids. <br /> <br />Cornick requested the whole Council be notified. <br /> <br />Edwards stated he will add it to his weekly update. <br /> <br />Cornick moved, Printup seconded, to award the contract for Baldur Park Road to GMH in <br />the amount of $143,523, and to approve the construction phase services to Bolton & Menk <br />in the not-to-exceed amount of $14,750.
