With all that said, we continue to believe that all of the project that was designed and bid is a <br />legal and appropriate use of the bond funds. Further, the persons who have any legal recourse to <br />challenge such uses are the bondholders, who in fact neither know nor care how the surplus <br />funds are expended, as long as they get their twice annual debt service payment. <br />Even so, I believe that the $228,957.06 is too expensive far the driveway extension to the police <br />department (plus the cost of a new electric gate). Therefore, I recommend we delete that portion <br />of the project and proceed with the remainder. That would make the total recommended bid <br />award $669,101.80 (and still consistent with state bidding laws). In order to avoid concerns <br />about the parking lot, I recommend we proceed with the work but pay that $64,197.98 from a <br />different source. In this way we can move forward and try to get as much work done as possible <br />during the summer months while school is out, but hopefully avoid any more controversy. <br />BUDGET: Funds are available from bonds sold in 2010. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve award of bid to Drake in an amount not to exceed <br />$669,101.80. <br />� i 1 <br />� <br />
