Mr. Cote stated plans would assessment portion in December. Mayor Elliott asked how contracts are awarded to contractors, whether the City receives any information about applicants, and how they are notified about projects. 10/28/19 -7- DRAFT Mr. Cote stated a public bid is awarded to the lowest bidder. City Attorney Gilchrist stated a project of this size is required to go through a well-guarded State bid reward process that is regulated by state statute. The City is required to review all bids and award to the most responsible bidder. Mr. Cote stated bids are advertised in the City newspaper as well as on Quest CDM, a web-based application used by most contractors to access City projects and plans. Mayor Elliott asked how the lowest responsible bidder is determined and whether there are guidelines that can be reviewed. Mr. Gilchrist stated a new State law had added a set of criteria that a contractor must meet to qualify, but there is also a long history of case law about this process. He added, as a practical matter, the City must go with the lowest bidder. He noted the bid process is scrutinized by City Staff, and they contact his office if legal questions or issues arise. Mayor Elliott stated these types of projects are fairly significant. He asked whether there are opportunities to award smaller portions of large projects to companies who may not have the capacity to take on a big project. Mr. Cote stated the City has not split up a project of this size. Mayor Elliott stated the City Council had identified a goal of encouraging and supporting local businesses. He added one way might be to provide access to these types of projects, including the Highway 252 project, combining efforts as a City to provide skills training and opportunities for employment for residents. Mr. Cote stated Mayor Elliott brings up good points, and City Staff can review how these ideas project in line with local City projects could be reviewed. Councilmember Graves moved, and Councilmember Ryan seconded to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Jude Nattey, a resident and contractor, stated he has bid on projects in other cities and at the State level. He added there are varying requirements for the number of minority contractors who can bid on these projects. have been successfully implemented by other cities and to encourage stipulations for accepting certain number of bids from minority and women-owned businesses. 10/28/19 -8- DRAFT Mr. Boganey stated projects of this magnitude do not happen regularly, and State law regulates how much control Cities have over the process. He added this is something that should be investigated, although he knows of other cities that have similar requirements. Mayor Elliott stated he would like to see more information on this issue before the RFP goes out on the current project, so City Staff can determine whether it is feasible to add bid requirements for minority, women-owned, and local businesses. He added he believes this is critical for the community. Mr. Gilchrist stated, concerning local businesses, the City cannot legally discriminate based on where a business is located. He added State law requires that the lowest responsible bidder is chosen. Councilmember Ryan stated he supports providing business opportunities for residents, but the City is very close to completing the streets replacement process several which began 27 years ago. He added the cost of projects had risen faster than the cost of living by a significant margin and increasing the cost of special assessments by delaying the project will fall heavily on the residents. Councilmember Graves stated she would like to learn more about providing contract project opportunities at the local level. She added this must be reviewed carefully to avoid extra costs, although she understands the opportunities this could provide. She noted Brooklyn Center is a smaller city, but this type of requirement could be feasible. Mayor Elliott stated projects awarded to local contractors could be a vehicle to accomplish some He added he would like to see additional information. Mr. Nadi stated there are many jobs that local residents can do, and encouraging contractors to hire minorities would not increase project costs. He added the contract could state that contractors can look elsewhere if they cannot find local workers. He noted this is a good way for residents to participate in the economy and the work of the City. Mr. Nadi stated there are funding sources and entities that provide incentives for Cities to hire local contractors. He added any minority contractor that is qualified should be given bidding opportunities, which would, in turn, encourage local contractors to engage competent people. Mr. Boganey stated research has shown that provisions for local spending often have significant investment return, in terms of supporting local businesses and growing the local economy. He added more review is needed, but answers will not be available in time for this specific contract. Councilmember Ryan stated he is open to these ideas. He added City Staff could bring forward recommendations for implementing this type of plan in future projects, but the 30-year street 10/28/19 -9- DRAFT utility project should remain on track as delay could potentially have the undesired effect of increased costs to homeowners via special assessments. Mayor Elliott stated this could be an opportunity to provide significant benefits to the community. He added it would be foolhardy not to look at this closely and attempt to capture those benefits. Councilmember Ryan stated the roads improvement project would continue to be ongoing, and in the future, these goals can be accomplished. He added, with this current project, it is important to keep things on track. An audience member stated she had been a resident of Brooklyn Center for about a year. She added this would be an ongoing issue. She noted it is a great idea to hire local contractors who will hire local workers and have community ownership of projects. Mayor Elliott stated he would like to see some analysis and review regarding how many jobs could be created, how it would be structured, and what would the economic impact be. Mr. Boganey agreed to follow up. Councilmember Graves moved, and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously.
