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 City of Seward, Alaska City Council Minutes July 27, 2010 Volume 38, Page 323 been delayed during the process of the City acquiring control of all the properties for the project. sedi West construction was in the u wrapping up the harbor breakwater project and preparing to q an'y pp g p p J p p g 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.
