STATEMENT OF COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
OCTOBER 24, 2017
The Ogden City Council met in Special Session on Tuesday, October 24, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers. Mayor Denny Good presided. Members present were Councilman Dave Ohlson, Councilman Brian Reimers, Councilwoman Lori Anderson and Councilwoman Margaret Liston. Councilman Sean Thompson was absent. City staff present were City Administrator Emily Clausen, City Clerk Melanie Elbert, and Sewer Superintendent Chad Thede. Additional attendees present were Lance Aldrich from Fox Engineering and 5 guests.
Pat Baker of Public Works Constructors spoke during Public Comment time stating he was not trying to negotiate contract bids in his earlier email to Lance Aldrich from Fox Engineering. He was simply trying to offer further explanation into why he felt building a new square building vs. repurposing an existing round building would be of benefit to the City.
Lance Aldrich from Fox Engineering reviewed the 5 options on the table with the Council that the City could choose from to award the contract for construction of the Wastewater Treatment Facility Activated Sludge Upgrade.
- Option 1: Award the project to Public Works Constructors for base bid of $5,052,000.00 with no alternates.
- Option 2: Award the project to Public Works Constructors for total bid of $5,170,000.00 (with Alternate1 accepted).
- Option 3: Award the project to Public Works Constructors for total bid of $5,088,000.00 (with Alternate 2 accepted)
- Option 4: Award the project to Woodruff Construction for total bid of $5,205,400.00 (both alternates accepted)
- Option 5: Reject all bids.
Sewer Superintendent Chad Thede’s recommendation was Option 4. He would like to see both alternates completed with the project. While it is possible to complete the alternates at a later date, he would prefer to have them done with the project.
Mayor Good Informed Council that City Attorney, Lee Johnson, has contacted Ivan Webber (attorney Ahlers Cooney) for advice on awarding contract with the alternates considered. Mr. Webber provided his legal advice and input into the options presented.
