Ordinance
C. 20th Place SW Emergency Slide Repair – Bid Award
There was no public comment. Brian Roberts presented information on this item,
explaining that all of the bids received were below the engineer’s estimate on this project.
Staff is very confident that both the apparent low bidder and their subcontractors are
qualified to do this work and that the work can be done within the bid amount. The FEMA
reimbursable portion of this project is for the restoration of the road only. The retaining
wall was not reimbursable under the FEMA guidelines.
Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented.

E. Street Lighting on 20th Way S – S 324th Street to S 330th Street; 100% Design and
Authorization to Bid
There was no public comment. Jesse Hannahs presented information on this item. There
was brief conversation of if the bids came in lower than expected, would money go back
into the CDBG fund. Mr. Salloum responded that funded projects do not often yield bids as
low as we have seen with other construction projects. Reporting requirements of the CDBG
Recovery Act are extensive and can influence bidding. CDBG funding also dictates how
things must be bid in order to qualify to receive the funds for the project. For this project
both conventional and LED bulbs are being considered, pending bidding results of each
option.
Committee forwarded Option #1 as presented.
Moved: Duclos Seconded: Kochmar Passed: Unanimously, 2-0
