MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,January 9,2012 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br /> *7. UTILITY AGREEMENTS - CREEKSIDE AND GLENDALE COVE <br /> Bremer moved,Franchot seconded,to approve the Creekside and Glendale Cove Sanitary Sewer <br /> and Water Service Agreements with the City of Long Lake. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> 8. ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT <br /> Loftus stated the City received nine applications for the consulting engineer position and that the Council <br /> interviewed four firms. The City Council selected Bolton &Menk and then directed Staff to prepare an <br /> agreement for their consideration. The agreement has been reviewed by attorneys on both sides. Loftus <br /> noted the staff inemo included a comment about transitioning between Bonestroo and Bolton & Menk. <br /> There is a staff ineeting tomorrow to discuss some of the technical issues associated with that transition. <br /> There are currently two projects that have been recently approved by the Council -the Old Crystal Bay <br /> Road overlay and the Wayzata Boulevard sanitary sewer. It is Staffs opinion that it would make sense to <br /> have Bonestroo continue working on those projects through the bidding process and then have Bolton & <br /> Menk take over on the construction management portion of the project. <br /> Printup asked what the status is of the Stubbs Bay Ravine and Ivy Place projects. <br /> Gaffron noted bids were just opened on the Stubbs Bay Ravine project and will be before the City <br /> Council at their next meeting. The Carmen's Bay project and the Stubbs Bay Ravine project should be <br /> completed this year and it is Staffs feeling that it would be difficult to switch at this point. Bonestroo has <br /> been working on the projects for over a year and both projects include grant funding. <br /> Bremer asked if there was any reason to start the to-be-hired Public Works Director/City Engineer prior to <br /> entering into the engineering services agreement. Council was comfortable with moving forward on the <br /> engineering services agreement. <br /> Bremer noted in Section 3, Page 4, Subparagraph 7,the agreement talks about city approved travel and <br /> subsistence and asked if that relates to their travel to and from different projects around the City. <br /> Mattick stated that was part of Bolton &Menk's proposal and that it would cover that type of travel. <br /> Mattick noted they did not negotiate any new financial terms into the contract that were not already <br /> contemplated in the RFP. <br /> Printup moved,Rahn seconded,to approve the agreement for city engineering services between <br /> Bolton & Menk and the City of Orono,and declaring all new projects and work eligible for transfer <br /> wilt go to Bolton & Menk. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> *9.
