Mayor Pro Tem Michael called the meeting to order at 12:20 p.m. with Councilmembers Parry,
Collins, and Knecht present.
City Engineer Dan McArthur told Council this is to award the bids for package two on the
Wheeler Opera House interior demolition. Three bids were received; Howard Used Brick
at $96,588; Brokes Demolition at $106,955 and Eagle Wrecking at $120,700. McArthur told
Council the construction manager for the Wheeler reviewed these bids and recommends that
the city go with the low bid at $96,588. McArthur told Council this bids is to basically
strip the inside of the Wheeler; get rid of the interior partitions, lights, electrical
mechanical etc. McArthur told Council this phase will take two to three months. Mayor
Pro Tem Michael asked that the construction people do their best to keep parking in the
alley and on the streets under control. McArthur said he will monitor this closely.
Councilman Knecht moved to approve the Howard Used Bricks bid at $96,588 for bid package
two for phase one; seconded by Councilman Parry.
Councilman Knecht asked if this was within budget. McArthur said the city is over $30,000
right now. McArthur is trying to resolve this by supplying housing for the workers.
McArthur said his department will be looking into the possibilities of saving money on
other phases. There are four to five other bid packages for the building.
All in favor, motion carried.
Councilman Parry moved to adjourn at 12;25 p.m.; seconded by Councilman Knecht. All in
favor, motion carried.
