AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution rejecting bids, rescinding a previously adopted resolution
accepting bids and awarding contract, and to authorize a competitive bid process for the improvement of Carrick’s
Landing Park.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
No No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The Carrick Landing Park Improvements project is partially funded by a DNR grant. Bids were opened on May 22, 2024,
but the project specifications and contract documents did not have prevailing wages included. The DNR grant agreement
is explicit that the bidding documents contain these requirements.
City staff are recommending that the City Council reject the previously received bids and to rescind Resolution 2024-39
Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract. City staff also recommend the City Council re-authorize the project be rebid with
the bidding documents containing prevailing wages to meet the DNR requirement.
Cost Estimate:
The attached cost estimate remains unchanged and has the estimated bid portion of the project costs and the direct
purchase costs, which show a total of $768,376. This is within the budget of $775,000 identified in the 2024 Capital
Improvement Plan. The Outdoor Recreation Grant will offset an approximate amount of $350,000 of project costs.

• City Council Authorizes Bid Process – June 10, 2024 (Pending)
• Advertisement – June & July
• Bid Opening – July 2, 2024
