Center Road between Highland Road and White Road and related incidentals, including clearing and grubbing necessary for the relocation of utilities." Introduced by Mayor Rinker and Council as a Whole. Dr. Parker, seconded by Mr. Busa, made a motion to suspend the rules of Council requiring an ordinance to be read on three separate occasions. Roll Call: AYES: All NAYS: None Motion Carried Rules Suspended Dr. Parker, seconded by Mr. Busa, made a motion to enact Ordinance No. 2001-30. Mayor Rinker asked Mr. Burgess and Mr. Metzung to explain what happened this past week for the record. Mr. Burgess said this project is to set up to replace the water line along S.O.M. Center Road from Highland to White, including completion of the loop from the community pool center to Highland and it included the clearing and grubbing necessary for the utility relocation work to take place. Initially, the bids were due on Wednesday last week. Tuesday night we received communication from Cleveland Water requiring that the abandoned pipe not only be capped but also grouted. That necessitated us to delay the receipt of the bids until Saturday at which time 13 bids were received. Our Engineer's estimate was $907,000. The bids ranged from $643,000 to $1,020,000. The majority of those groups were in our Engineer's estimate but represents a fairly competitive environment. Our recommendation to the Village is to accept that bid and award it pending necessary insurance, etc. Mr. Metzung has reviewed their qualifications based on work elsewhere. Mr. Burgess asked Mr. Metzung to comment on that. Mr.1Vletzung said upon review of DVD, who I have personally worked with many years ago in Willowick, I found them to be very professional. Everyone I talked to found them not only to be a good company, but they would highly recommend them. They were very professional. They want to come in and do the job and go home and get paid. This is the kind of person we are looking for this job because it will be a fast-moving job. I highly recoinmend them. Council President Marquardt asked if there were any further comments. Mrs. Mills asked if it was necessary to read their name into this ordinance. Council President Marquardt said I don't think so; I think this covers what is necessary.
