' MINUTES OF THE <br /> • ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,August 26,2013 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (10. STREET LIGHT UPDATE, Continued) <br /> Anderson asked whether some of the pricing would be available at the October meeting. <br /> Struve stated the bids would likely be open in early January based upon the schedule outlined in the report <br /> and that he can bring forth the information contained in tonight's Council packet to the residents. Struve <br /> stated he also has some information on pricing Spring Park has received as well as some information from <br /> Barr Engineering. <br /> Levang asked whether banners would be all the way down the road. <br /> McMillan commented they currently have banners and that the banner holders are not that expensive. <br /> Bremer commented the Council could also consider artificial flowers to avoid the necessity of watering. <br /> Levang stated it appears the total cost of the project is approximately$790,000 to do the sidewalks,the <br /> lighting, and all the amenities. <br /> Struve indicated that is correct. <br /> Levang asked if he is also proposing doing a combined project in 2014. <br /> Struve stated it would make sense to combine the projects into one since there will be impacts to the <br /> sidewalks at the time the poles are replaced. <br /> McMillan asked if Spring Park has installed their new light poles. <br /> Struve indicated they have not. Struve stated it will likely be May before the actual work starts. <br /> Anderson stated in her view the combined project should be presented in October and that the Council <br /> will have the availability to remove things in January based on cost. <br /> Struve stated there will be additional engineering costs to include the wiring and that he does have a <br /> meeting scheduled for tomorrow to discuss the wiring. <br /> The City Council took no formal action on this item. <br /> 11. 2013 FORCEMAIN IMPROVEMENT PROJECT—BID AWARD <br /> McMillan stated she would like to have an assessment done to determine whether the road can handle a <br /> mill and overlay. <br /> Struve indicated that would need to explored further since the road appears to be in poor condition. <br /> Struve stated he is not sure at this time whether a mill and overlay would be the best option. <br /> McMillan stated if a mill and overlay can be done, she would like to have that done in 2014. <br /> Page 17 of 21 <br />
