RESOLUTIONS (CONTINUED) 2 -10 -86 -3- �I CORRECTED COPY The City Manager presented a Resolution Accepting Bid and Awarding Contract for Installation of Traffic Control Signal Systems on Shingle Creek Parkway at John Martin Drive and at Summit Drive (Project No. 1985 -20, Contract 1985 -M)• Councilmember Hawes asked what the difference was between regular municipal state aid funds and local municipal state aid funds. He also asked if there was a chance that the traffic signals would not meet the warrants and that the money would have to be returned to the State. The Director of Public Works stated that at this time the intersection of Summit Drive and Shingle Creek Parkway do not meet the warrants. He noted that the City has two years in which to meet the warrants and added that when the Target store opens there is no doubt that the warrants will be met by the end of 1986. The Director of Public Works went on to explain the difference between regular municipal state aid funds and local municipal state aid funds. Councilmember Hawes asked if it is the City's responsibility to pay back the funds if the warrants are not met. The Director of Public Works stated that the City does not pay this share back in a lump sum but rather a set amount is deducted from all other approved state aid projects. RESOLUTION NO. 86 -24 Member Bill Hawes introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BID AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR PROJECT NO. 1985 -20, CONTRACT 1985 -M ( INSTALLATION OF TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNAL SYSTEMS ON SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY AT JOHN MARTIN DRIVE AND AT SUMMIT DRIVE) The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Gene Lhotka, and the motion passed unanimously. The City Manager presented a Resolution Establishing Diseased Shade Tree Removal Project No. 1986 -04, Approving Specifications and Directing Advertisement for Bids (Contract 1986 -F). Councilmember Theis noted that in the past the City has had problems with contractors not completing the work in a timely manner. A lengthy discussion then ensued relative to the problems connected with working with a large contractor. Councilmember Theis asked about the possibility of awarding to multiple contractors. The Director of Public Works noted that in the specifications for 1985, the City retained the option to claim the contractor in default and obtain a second contractor. Councilmember Theis stated that by awarding to multiple contractors trees could be assigned to the second contractor immediately instead of waiting for the other contractor to be declared in default. Councilmember Lhotka asked if the City runs a check on the low bidder and the Director of Public Works responded affirmatively. Councilmember Lhotka noted that it is possible then that the City would have one or two other contractors as a backup before choosing the best bidder. RESOLUTION NO. 86 -25 Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: I I RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING DISEASED SHADE TREE REMOVAL PROJECT NO. 1986 -04, APPROVING SPECIFICATIONS AND DIRECTING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS (CONTRACT 1986 -F) The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Celia Scott, and the motion carried.

The City Manager presented a Resolution Accepting Proposal from Rouse Mechanical for Reduction of Noise in Council Chambers, Quiet Room and Audio Room. Councilmember Scott noted that the Council Chambers has never been quite this noisy. The City Manager noted that over the years staff has found that some parts of the circulation system have never worked properly. He added that when this problem was corrected it did get somewhat noisier in the Council Chambers and surrounding areas. Mayor Nyquist asked if the first stage is guaranteed. The City Manager stated there is no guarantee that the first stage will totally eliminate the problem, but that both City staff and Rouse Mechanical feel we should find out if the first stage works before continuing on with the second stage. A lengthy discussion then ensued regarding the circulation system and the proposed addition from Rouse Mechanical. The Director of Public Works noted that even if stage one did not eliminate the problem, the work would not be thrown away because it would be needed for stage two. Councilmember Hawes noted that if stage one does not work he would hope that the City would try to do something to enhance our current speaker system. The City Manager stated that staff is planning to try new microphones. RESOLUTION NO. 86 -26 Member Bill Hawes introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING PROPOSAL FROM ROUSE MECHANICAL FOR REDUCTION OF NOISE IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS, QUIET ROOM AND AUDIO ROOM The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Celia Scott, and the motion passed unanimously.
