Item 2. Resolution No. 2001-41 - Accepting Bids/Awarding Contracts for the Wee Care Day Care/Community Center Project. The budget and financing for the project was covered by Mr. Coffey. The modified bids were then presented. The bid figures presented were $30,000 over budget when all the project costs were added in. The proposed changes were explained by the architect, Mr. Dale McKinney of InVision Architecture. Questions about the various changes and the overall project were asked of the architect and the contractor (Sioux Contractors, Inc.). Mr. Coffey proposed that the increase be handled by Wee Care, Inc. He recommended that the Council postpone action on the resolution to see if Wee Care, Inc. was willing to make an additional contribution to the project or otherwise recommended that the two Boards continue to modify the project and re-bid the project for spring construction. Moved by Woodley/Cauwels to postpone Resolution No. 2001-41 in order to allow the Wee Care Board time to act on whether or not they will make an additional contribution. Motion carried unanimously.
Moved by Woodley/Nohava to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. The Meeting adjourned at 1:16 p.m.
