Resolution 2010 -071, Approving A Contract With West Construction Company, Inc. Utilizing
A Federal Procurement Process Bid, For Production Of Rock For The North Forest Acres
Levee/Road Construction, And Appropriating Funds.
Motion (Bardarson /Amberg) Approve Resolution 2010 -071
Oates noted this contract would save the city money and wouldn't have to mobilize and
demobilize. West construction had done a very professional job in the rock quarry. He stated the
city would lose federal grant funding for the North Forest Acres Levee Road unless the city
demonstrated significant progress on construction of the project by September 30. This project had

West construction was in the u wrapping up the harbor breakwater project and preparing to

demobilize, so offered the same or lower price on their competitive bid project and would begin the
work immediately. This would procure a contract to produce class 11 rock by required specifications,
for the North Forest Acres Levee Road Project. Oates thought this saved the project over $75,000 in
estimation of paying a construction contractor to do the same, not to mention saving the federal grant
funding of $1.7 million dollars. This project should be completed in a few days. He recommended
approval.
Erchinger had conversations with the National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), the
federal agency with the grant, where the representatives said this would significantly help towards
retaining the $1.7 million dollar grant money.
