Item No. 19 <br />memorandum <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />FROM: John Godwin, City Manager <br />SUBJECT: UTILITIES BONDS <br />DATE: Februaryl6, 2015 <br />BACKGROUND: To date we have awarded contracts on two constructions bids. One sub- <br />project is complete and the other is on- going. We currently have two more bids under <br />preparation. The very large one we have discussed, totaling probably over $20 million should be <br />bid in April, with hopes that construction will begin this summer. A second, smaller project will <br />be bid later this year and include improvements to the southeast lift station. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: Dr. Hashmi recently discussed with me the possibility of peeling off a few <br />important lines from the large project so they can proceed a little bit more quickly. We do still <br />have time to separate the sub - projects again, as they have not been finally packaged yet. <br />However, we do need to make a decision on any more changes now or run the risk of causing <br />delays and /or increasing engineering costs. <br />Should the council wish to pull a few streets off for one more small sub - project, we suggest 29th, <br />30th, 31st, 32"d, and 33rd Streets NW between Bonham and Graham, plus Bonham between 13th <br />NW and 34th NW. <br />BUDGET: NA. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Provide direction to staff. <br />
