space that was going to be used by the busses. Jeff Wilkins discussed the possibility of obtaining<br />
some grant funds to pay for a lease of the space in the building for the KAT busses. The<br />
Committee also discussed the possibility of adding the alternate heat in the floor item to the<br />
contract. After considerable discussion, Motion Martin; 2~’ Wehrli to recommend approval of<br />
the contract with Lite Construction, Inc. in the amount of $814, 678 for the Storage Building.<br />
Motion carried with 3 ayes and Purcell not voting.<br />
The Salt Storage Building was divided into two groups; one for the concrete foundation walls<br />
and one for the fabric covered roof. The low bidder for the foundation walls was TBS<br />
Construction in the amount of $212,960. Motion Martin; 2~” Wehrli to recommend approval of<br />
the low bid from TBS Construction in the amount of $212,960. Motion carried unanimously.<br />
The County received 8 bids for the fabric covered roof for the Salt Storage building. The<br />
specifications required the steel framework for the roof to be hot-dip galvanized because of the<br />
corrosive nature of salt. For that reason, the County Engineer recommended that the first three<br />
low bids be rejected for non-conformance with the specifications. The lowest bidder <strong>meeting</strong><br />
specifications was Derrick Tyler Construction out of Michigan. However, Tyler Construction<br />
has never constructed an Accu-Steel building; whereas Elmco Engineering, the next low bidder,<br />
has constructed about 15 Accu-Steel Buildings. So the County Engineer recommended that the<br />
County Board approve the bid from Elmco at a cost of $201,159.34, just $7,500 more than the<br />
Tyler bid. He felt it was important to get this building constructed correctly, considering that up<br />
to 13 agencies will be storing salt in this building. The State’s Attorney had informed the<br />
County Engineer that the County would be on firm legal ground to award a bid to the second low<br />
bidder based on their expertise in that area of construction. Wehrli discussed how there were<br />
some contractors at the courthouse construction that had never done that type of work before but<br />
had performed very well. Martin also had concerns about that same issue. After careful<br />
consideration of the bids, Martin made a motion, with a 2~d from Purcell to recommend approval<br />
of the bid from Elmco Engineering O.H., Inc. at a cost of $201,159.34. Motion carried<br />
unanimously.<br />
A bid opening was held on Friday, April ~ for the 2010 County resurfacing projects and<br />
Township Motor Fuel projects. The County projects ranged anywhere from 5% to 22% under<br />
the engineer’s estimate of cost. Most of the township projects were below estimates as well.<br />
Ginger had prepared a resolution approving all of the low bidders for the County and Township<br />
projects. Motion Martin; 2~” Wehrli to recommend approval of the resolution awarding contracts<br />
to all of the low bidders for the County and Township projects for 2010. Motion carried<br />
unanimously.<br />
A discussion about constructing bike paths on or along County Highway roads was postponed<br />
until next month.<br />
Motion Martin; 2h1(~ Purcell to forward payroll and bills for the month of April to the Finance<br />
Committee. Motion carried unanimously.<br />
Next <strong>meeting</strong> is scheduled for May 11,2010 at 4:00 P.M.
