hope i say right the beemant family for the park bench there's no public hearing tonight so next is the old business which is the 2022 mill and overlay accept bids and award contracts and construction services lee good evening mayor and council the city did receive bids last week for the 20-22 million overlay project the low bidder on the project is t.a schifsky and sons with the cost for the base bid of 610 640 and 37 cents and an alternate which we split out in order to allow some flexibility in analyzing the funding opportunities uh thereof the alternate was four hundred three thousand five hundred sixty three dollars uh together totaling one million fourteen thousand two hundred three dollars and ninety three cents there are other related soft costs as mentioned in your memo and so at this time the council would consider the base bid and i think there's a additional memo that was supplied to give some thoughts about the alternate as well so is that something that you would like ready to address or is that memo self-explanatory i think the memo is self-explanatory unless anyone has questions for betty or you it'd be nice to get to get this work done i don't think it's going to get any cheaper i guess and the next the next round won't be until 2000 through 2028 this is the next my understanding yeah the public works director has a plan that that starts the next round of projects similar to you know the plan that we've had since 2017. i think it makes sense to i mean it's why they're there and there's a savings and they're already there working get it done i would make a motion that we accept the bid along with the alternate a second oh my councilmember dougherty second by councilmember johnson jen can you take the role on this one councilmember dougherty yes councilmember johnson yes councilmember rung yes mayor mccomber yes um next is new business and we don't have one other item on this oh sure this is the uh proposal for construction services okay uh to provide the inspection for the project as you can see on the second page of the memo since the alternate has been accepted the total estimated fee is in a range of 82 to 90 thousand dollars for that inspection um and we've also identified some additional costs for material testing but for tonight we just need authorization for the construction inspection portion okay i'll move that second by council member rank second by council member dougherty jen can you take the rule on that one too council member dougherty yes council member johnson yes council member rank yes mayor mccumber yes any more thank you thank you that's it um okay then we have no new business so next is other council items or announcements are there any i make a motion to adjourn thank you motion by councilmember
