quorum. Also present were Mayor Brainard, Les Olds and Karl Haas. Phyllis Morrissey

Opening of Bids
No bids were received for Parcel #13, even though eight packets were picked up. This
means the CRC can immediately begin negotiations with potential developers and then
enter into an agreement after thirty days. Discussion followed.
Award of Bid for Gateway Construction
Mr. Olds recommended the gateway construction contracts be awarded to the lowest
bidder in each of the five categories:

Masonry Broady Campbell $ 92,680

Signage Sign Craft $ 29,249
Electrical Maxwell Electric $ 48,000
The total of these bids is $364,029. Mr. Olds said including the construction manager’s
fee, the project would be around $405,000. This does not include the contingency fee of
10%. Discussion followed.
Mr. Sharp moved the CRC accept the low bids. Mr. Battreall seconded the motion. Brief
discussion clarifying the totals. Call for the question and the motion was unanimously
approved.
Mr. Olds said a notice to proceed would be issued today.
Question was asked about construction time. Mr. Olds said, depending on the weather,
completion should be in 120 days. The roads will have to be closed when the trusses are
installed.
Restroom Security Cameras
Mr. Olds distributed a proposal for security cameras for the restroom area and Veterans’
Plaza. This was prepared by Marvin Stewart, director of the Communications Center. The
