Mark Cook stated that the bridge procurement was done <br />ahead of bidding out the construction project due to permitting <br />timelines. Mark Cook continued that one bid was received and the bid <br />amount was under the Engineer's estimate. Discussion was held. Vice <br />Chairman Brett Wachsmith made a motion to approve Resolution 2019-051 <br />to Award the Bid for the Design, Fabricating, Finishing and <br />Transporting a Steel Modular Bridge (Big Boulder Creek Bridge <br />Replacement) and Authorize the Public Works Director to execute <br />Contract Documents. Commissioner Laura Osiadacz seconded the motion. <br />Motion passed 3-0. <br />WEIHL ROAD UPDATE <br />Mark Cook gave background on the project and stated that recently a <br />private landowner has been exploring the option of building the road <br />with private funds. Mark Cook stated that in these discussions the <br />landowner has contacted property owners in the area soliciting <br />interest in getting property donated to build the road without the MSE <br />wall in place as shown in the original plans. Mark Cook continued <br />that the project, as previously approved, is ready to go to bid but <br />with this development it could lower the cost of the project <br />significantly. Mark Cook added that if this option was to be followed <br />it would cost around twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) to redraw <br />the plans. Discussion was held. Staff was directed to look into the <br />alternate project and move forward with the redesign if the land can <br />be acquired to support the new project. <br />2019-03-11 MINUTES <br />
