MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, September 12, 2011 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 26 of 28 (11. OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD UPDATED COST ESTIMATES, Continued) Rahn stated the other thing is that cost estimates could be done just for the northern section. Rahn asked whether they would still be able to bid it in January. Amundsen stated it would be a tight schedule but it could be done. Rahn commented it would not hurt to get some cost estimates for the northern section. Rahn asked what tonnage the reconstructed road would be built to. Amundsen indicated it would be built to 10-ton. Amundsen stated there would be some decisions on where to stop the reconstruct and whether the water main should be done. Some consideration should also be given for planning for future expansion. McMillan asked whether the City could get a ballpark estimate of what they could possibly recoup from MSA for the previous design. Loftus indicated they have submitted the invoices to MSA for payment and that they should hear back in the near future. Franchot commented in his opinion the mill and overlay is not a good idea and that the Council needs to make an assessment on whether the road should be rebuilt. Franchot stated they keep pushing this project down the road, which will require the City to make periodic repairs to it. McMillan stated the total reconstruct does not seem to be an option and that they are looking at a mill and overlay for at least a portion of the roadway. McMillan requested the City Engineer come back with some cost estimates in two weeks. Franchot requested the Finance Director come back with information on the financial impact the City will have due to the money that has already been bonded for the Old Crystal Bay project. Franchot noted the money has to be used within two years or the City could experience some type of penalty from the MSA. Franchot asked how much the City bonded for Old Crystal Bay Road. Olson indicated to his knowledge it was $1.7 million and that he is unsure how the MSA will handle this situation. Olson stated he will contact MSA to see whether he can find out some more information on that item. The City Council took no formal action on this item. *12. REQUEST FOR PAYMENT NO. 3 AND FINAL, LIFT STATION 12 IMPROVEMENTS Bremer moved, Franchot seconded, to approve the request for payment No. 3 and final for the Lift Station No. 12 improvements, Landwehr Construction, Inc., in the amount of $16,107.89. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. (Franchot leaves the meeting at 10:50 p.m.) Item #03 - CC Agenda - 09/26/2011 Approval of Council Minutes 09/12/2011 [Page 26 of 28]
