Desilting project and authorizing staff to rebid the project -
Pam told the board that only one bid was submitted for this project and it significantly
exceeded the budget. Halff Associates, who developed the bid specifications, recommend that
revisions be made to the bid allowing the contractor to sped the construction time for the
project, tree removal be managed separately, and reduce the pond elevation to be excavated
which reduces the amount of material to be removed. Halff Associates recommends the bid be
sent to City Council for formal rejection and that the project be rebid with their recommended
changes.
