e e e do I have a motion to approve the consent agenda  items without second readings and item number four   so item four and seven second motion and a second  any further discussion I see none all those in   favor say I I I all those oppose same sign motion  passes 70 on item number four Department of Public   Works can we talk about this overestimate bid  for 135th Street West from Central to 13th Street North good morning mayor Paul gunman with public  works and utilities this is uh we had open bids on   this project for the uh intersection only for  the traffic signalization um we have a bigger   larger project that will open bids to improve  um 135th Street from Central to 13th but with   the long um lead times on traffic signal equipment  we decided to bid this early so we had one traffic   signal contractor bid on the project and it  was over the estimate by a little bit $65,000 can you again explain why the increase  of 65,000 that is um our traffic signal   equipment we had um put our estimate or the  budget in and with the one bidder it was   over our estimate with the price of signal  materials traffic signal poles controllers   increasing over the past year and What's  the total cost of this project the that's so the overall project cost is $6 million if I  recall correctly and that is that includes the   improvements of 135th Street from Central  to 13th we just broke out a portion of the   budget for the traffic signal at this time  so it will still stay within the $6 million   budget is just the portion of signalization  that has increased correct and we'll take   bids on the remaining at a future date and  when will this project um be completed we   begin construction on the widening project  in 2025 so it'll be later that later next year thank you any further questions I see none  I just have I have one quick question um reading   the recommended action says it's recommended the  city council affirm the board's bids and contracts   recommendation so under Financial consider ation  instead of Staff recommends initiating the 500,000   for right away and then in another aspect it says  that basically staff doesn't required to go out   to the rebid for the 65,000 so is the vote for  the initiating the 500,000 or is the vote just   reaffirming the over bid and not going out to  a bid at 65,000 or is it subsequently both it's   for the 500,000 you already have approved budget  of 1,75 okay so it's just initiating the 500,000   then it's just the recogn recognition  of the 65,000 in over bid okay thank you the second item is item number seven second  readings I just wanted to highlight uh that last   week when I asked staff to now give a summary of  of these second readings now there is a summary   and I just wanted to say um I appreciate that  staff went ahead and did this uh starting with   this uh consent agenda so now moving forward  there's going to be more um of a explanation   of what an ordinance um change will look like  any further questions on item number seven I   see none motion to approve items four and seven  in the consent agenda second motion and a second   any further discussion I see none all those in  favor say I I I all those oppose same sign motion   passes 70 Madame clerk please call the next  item board bids and contracts dated August 26 2024 morning mayor city council Josh ther  Department of Finance uh the board of bids   and contracts convened August 26th for  the following items for engineering we   have the water distribution system storm  water drain sanitary sewer improvements   and Paving to serve Bunker Hill Edition for Noak  Construction Company Incorporated in the amount of $599,450 purchasing we have  the Mid-American all Indian   museum rof rebid for farha Roofing  LLC for an aggregate bid total of $349,700 38,768 54 we have the publication of legal notices  we're rejecting all bids and then we have the   publication of legal notices requesting your  authorization for sij Holdings LLC and the DBA   is incorrect I need to make that change from  the B from the podium to be DBA mcache shared   services LLC in the amount of 60 cents per line  or each with an estimated annual usage of 9,000   per year sounds this is how  to become a vendor with the city these are open open public  opportunities excuse me um we   changed it up a little bit so these  are all bids all proposals all items   and you also see that in your  um formal bid report on the last page and I'd be happy to try  to answer your questions and   I recommend your approval Josh could  you explain the difference between   the two legal notices I'm sorry  the two what the two legal notice yeah okay so this one um to talk through it real  quick um Arc Valley news they submitted a rate of   54 cents per each they withdrew their bid U mcache  the witch Eagle submitted a bid of $6 each um upon   clarification with them that should not have been  $6 it was submitted in error um they requested   hey could we give a bid of 60 cents we do  not like changing bids or or modifying bids   or accepting late bids after the fact so  that is the reason we're doing this step   to reject everything because we do not want  any sort of perception or publication or some   sort of um misrepresentation that biders are  allowed to change so that was the reason for   the rejection outright and then this would be  the second slide to request an authorization   to go with 60 cents so it's the same item  just okay got it ma'am thank you so much can you go back to the re-roofing so  we have two re-roofing projects both   the Mid-American all Indian Center and the  former Central Library um are these the final   things uh in terms of capital Improvement  improvements for this year for those two buildings mayor I believe that they are  um I don't believe we have anything else   planned at the old library for this year and  this will take care of again the leaking uh   ceilings at the old library thank you and  then item number three or slide number   three this will come back to us on September  10th yes ma'am yes mayor is this because the   budget now has increased for that there is  a request for a budget increase for a new   engineers's estimate and to authorize that  new budget because the bids um exceeded the   engineers estimate you are correct what was  the engineers estimate initially let me tell you uh total Engineers estimate in Paul  please correct me if I'm wrong $771,000 669 was the Eng years estimate we'll get you that information I reviewed   the draft report and I do know that  the bids came over so I think we've   got a wrong number Josh is picking up the  wrong number so we'll we'll have that for you Bob will both of these roofs be done  this year will the both the roofs uh Paul   or Gary Gary great thank you and and I apologize  thank you manager the issue is um the the bids   aggregate but in this specific line item  sanitary sewer improvements and Bunker Hill   Court um the bid exceeded the engineers's  estimate so the aggregate was less but if   you go by line item the engineer's estimate  for sanitary sewer improvements 15,5 38 the   vendor bided 177 $198 .10 uh the actual  Bunker Hill Court or Paving was bided at $246,700 the engineer estimate was 737,00 and since this is a special assessment  project
