CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT
City Administrator Hanson stated he sent out an update on the City Hall. He stated that the construction bid packet will go out on Friday. The bid opening is set for the end of March.
Alderman Fleming stated he has received several requests from residents whom have noticed their mail is starting to show a mailing address in Manchester. He stated their concern is whether their sales tax and utilities are going towards Ballwin. City Administrator Hanson stated he will have staff look into the issue.
STAFF REPORTS
PUBLIC WORKS CRUSHED ROCK PURCHASE
City Engineer, Gary Kramer stated that the reason this item is under staff report is due to only having received two bids. $11,456.00 was budgeted for crushed rock. Crushed rock is used in-house as a base for concrete pavement slab, curb and gutter, and sidewalk replacements. On February 9, 2018, two (2) bids were received and opened. Staff recommends awarding this unit price contract to Simpson Construction Materials which also includes the alternate bids.
Alderman Roach asked if the price of crushed rock has changed. Mr. Kramer stated it has not changed by much.
A motion was made by Alderman Stallmann and seconded by Alderman Kerlagon to accept staff’s recommendation and award the unit price purchases to Simpson Construction Materials which also includes the alternate bids. A voice vote was taken with a unanimous affirmative result and the motion passed.
PUBLIC WORKS STREET SWEEPING CONTRACT
Mr. Kramer stated only two bids were received for the street sweeping contract. Since 2006, the City has contracted for street sweeping. As in the past, the 2018 budget includes funds for quarterly contractual sweeping in compliance with our State Stormwater Permit. The bid specifications include sweepings in April, June, September, and December, but do not include disposal of the sweeper debris. Republic Waste will dispose of the sweeping debris at no cost to the City. Staff recommends awarding the contract to the low bidder, Contractors and Municipal Sweeping, Inc.
A motion was made by Alderman Roach and seconded by Alderman Kerlagon to accept staff’s recommendation and award the street sweeping contract to Contractors and Municipal Sweeping, Inc. A voice vote was taken with a unanimous affirmative result and the motion passed.
PUBLIC WORKS READY MIX CONCRETE
Mr. Kramer stated that this is the first year with the new concrete mixer. The city does not anticipate using the full amount budgeted for concreted but utilizing this contract as a backup measure.
The street budget was raised to account for the anticipated savings in the concrete costs. The anticipated savings were put towards removing the curb on Reinke Rd. As a precaution, staff solicited bids including the alternate bid items as a backup supplier in order to get better unit prices. The bid specifications state that the City reserves the right to increase or decrease this contract based on the contract unit price. We do not expect to purchase more that 30% of the bid total 1,500 cubic yards, reducing the contract total to $41,715. Staff recommends awarding this contract at the bid unit price for the two types of concrete, including the alternate bids, to the low bidder, Landvatter Ready Mix, Inc
A motion was made by Alderman Stallmann and seconded by Alderman Roach to accept staff’s recommendation and award the ready mix concrete contract for the two types of concrete, including the alternate bids, to Landvatter Ready Mix, Inc. A voice vote was taken with a unanimous affirmative result and the motion passed.
PUBLIC WORKS HOT MIX ASPHALT
Mr. Kramer stated that staff discovered that N.B. West, the low bidder, closes their asphalt plants beginning sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas and reopens in mid-March. This poses a problem getting asphalt for potholes or when temperatures are suitable for small projects during the winter. With this in mind, we recommend rejecting their bid due to availability issues. Staff recommends awarding the hot mix asphalt contract to the second low bidder, Fred Weber, and not accepts either alternate bid.
A motion was made by Alderman Roach and seconded by Alderman Kerlagon to accept staff’s recommendation and award the hot mix asphalt contract to Fred Weber, who had the lowest most qualified bid, and not accept either alternate bid. A voice vote was taken with a unanimous affirmative result and the motion passed.
ALERMANIC COMMENTS
Alderman Bullington stated that as a principal, he deals with students and staff daily and with the recent tragic incident in Florida he asks that you please listen to your sons and daughters. If they have concerns about a fellow student or anyone, to bring that to the attention of the authorities – get it to the administrators at the school, get it to the law enforcement officers -- do not ignore it. Send that information in. He stated that there are seventeen that are not here anymore. He challenged those in attendance to do seventeen good deeds in the next seventeen days, find something, find anybody, and do something wonderful.
A motion was made by Alderman Fleming and seconded by Alderman Stallmann to adjourn the Board of Aldermen Meeting. A roll call vote was taken with a unanimous result, and the meeting was adjourned at 7:18 p.m.
