MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, August 26, 2013 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />    Page 17 of 21   <br />(10. STREET LIGHT UPDATE, Continued) <br /> <br />Anderson asked whether some of the pricing would be available at the October meeting. <br /> <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 /> <br />Levang asked whether banners would be all the way down the road. <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />Struve indicated that is correct. <br /> <br />Levang asked if he is also proposing doing a combined project in 2014. <br /> <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 /> <br />McMillan asked if Spring Park has installed their new light poles. <br /> <br />Struve indicated they have not. Struve stated it will likely be May before the actual work starts. <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />The City Council took no formal action on this item. <br /> <br />11. 2013 FORCEMAIN IMPROVEMENT PROJECT – BID AWARD <br /> <br />McMillan stated she would like to have an assessment done to determine whether the road can handle a <br />mill and overlay. <br /> <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 /> <br />McMillan stated if a mill and overlay can be done, she would like to have that done in 2014. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Item #03 - CC Agenda - 09/09/2013 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 08/26/2013 [Page 17 of 21]
