OLD BUSINESS
#1: CEDC Activity Report
Steve Fultz was unavailable – continued to the June meeting.
#2: Consider Engineering Recommendations for Project Revisit LOI Conditions
City Engineer Robb MacDonald reported that he is waiting for information from JTS before
any decisions or recommendations can be made.
#3: King’s Building Demolition and Temporary Park Bid Progress Report
City Engineer Robb MacDonald presented bids received for both the demolition of the building
and the temporary park. The demolition bids do not include the estimated $18,000 cost to
backfill the foundation. Robb recommended awarding the job to A.S.C. Inc. at the lowest bid
of $46,500. Robb further recommended that URA delay the approval of the temporary park
bids until the June meeting to allow time for city engineering staff to complete the sequencing
and other details not yet finalized. He further noted that the demolition process can hopefully
begin within the next several weeks and will take 4-6 weeks to complete, which allows time to
act on the park bids before that phase of the project needs to commence. Motion to award the
King’s building demolition bid to A.S.C. Inc. and begin demolition as quickly as possible:
Alder/Fouts M/S/P
