1) PUBLIC COMMENT CONCERNING ANY ISSUE NO ON THE AGENDA
There was no public comment.
2) DANIEL WATER REPLACEMENT BID RESULTS
BID AWARD APPROVAL BY THE DANIEL TOWN COUNCIL
Mayor Duggin presented the bid results for the 4 phases of Daniel Waterline Replacement that had been noticed for bid. He recommended awarding two of the phases at this time (Bid Schedule 1 for Little Sweden Road and Schedule 4 for 3000 South west of Daniel Rd.). He recommended awarding other phases as funding allows. He indicated that Daniel Town will be requesting more funds from the Utah Department of Environmental Quality and the Division of Drinking Water.
Mayor Duggin then read Daniel Resolution 2010-09-13 which would award the bid to the lowest bidder TNT General Contractors of Lehi, UT. In discussion Council member Bunker asked about additional valves that might be added. Mr. Ryan Taylor responded that it would be easy to add any valves that we think we might need for the future by a simple change order. Council member Bateman inquired about the performance bond of the contractor. Mr. Taylor indicated that the contractor was in the bonding process, and a notice to proceed would not be signed until the bond was in place.
Council member Bunker moved to approve DR 2010-09-13 to award Bid schedules 1 and 4 to TNT General Contractors. Council member Bateman made the second, and the Council members present voted to approve the resolution. Council members Blotter and Turner were absent.
3) FINANCIAL REPORT UPDATE ON DANIEL WATER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Mr. Ryan Taylor, from Epic Engineering, presented a summary of the finances on the water project pointing out change orders already approved and possible future change orders. He concluded that the Town is approximately 2/3 finished with the entire project. A copy of the summary is included in these minutes.
Council member Bunker asked about the warranty on the work and materials. Mr. Taylor indicated that the contractors have a one year warranty, but Town of Daniel would not hold the retainage funds for that long.
Council member Blotter arrived at 6:06 PM during a discussion on the next phase of waterline replacement. Mr. Taylor informed the Council that work on the Little Sweden pipeline might have to wait until spring because we do not want to tear up the roadway asphalt and not be able to replace it during the winter months. Work will begin on 3000 South right away. Council member Bunker wondered if we might have to revise our culinary water capital facilities plan since this work schedule would be out of our priority order. Mr. Taylor indicated that he would look at this.
4) RECORDER’S OFFICE REPORT: LAWUIT UPDATE, WARRANT APPROVAL
Recorder Merry Duggin presented warrants that had been presented to the Town in August 2010 and received approval from the Council for payment. She reported that Town of Daniel had submitted a Motion to Dismiss the Civil Rights Complaint filed against the Town by WDLA and Dean Sellers. No hearing has been scheduled.
5) APPROVAL OF MINUTES FOR THE AUGUST 2, 2010 MEETING
A motion to approve the minutes as presented was made by Council member Bunker which was seconded by Council member Blotter. Council member Bateman abstained as he was absent from the August 2 meeting. The other members of the council voted unanimously to approve the minutes.
6) COMMITTEE REPORTS
PLANNING: Council member Bunker reported that we have sent a letter to a property owner who is using an agricultural building for non agricultural purposes asking that the owner come into compliance. The Planning Commission is looking at a swimming pool ordinance.
DANIEL MUNICIPAL WATER: Mayor Duggin reported that we must look at providing storage for DMW for its ATV and parts inventory. He asked for authorization to purchase a storage unit to be placed on site near the new pump station. He has asked for quotes from several providers and recommended purchasing a unit for approximately $1800.00. Council member Blotter moved to approve the purchase authorization. Council member Bateman seconded the motion, and the Council voted unanimously to approve the purchase.
