Special City Council Meeting - 09-11-2020
A
C
C
C
B
D
C
D
B
C
B
C
E
Thank
you
mayor.
This
is
back
in
1981,
the
city
and
the
watertown.
It
was
known
at
that
time.
The
watertown
senior
citizens
club
entered
into
a
lease
for
the
building
they're
currently
occupying
since
that
time.
Their
names
actually
changed
to
watertown
senior
activities
center
and
did
the
actual
lease
get
on
the
agenda.
C
E
Did
forward
it
to
all
the
council
members
I
can
print
it
off
here.
Does
everybody
have
it
by
chance?
Okay.
Well,
anyway,
the
the
center
has
approached
the
city
and
asked
that
we
could
consider
amending
the
lease
to
essentially
remove
from
them
the
requirement
that
they
find
or
procure
their
own
property
insurance
coverage.
E
But
with
our
discussions
previously
on
this
issue,
I
did
add
language
in
there.
That
requires
them
to
reimburse
the
city
for
our
cost
of
adding
the
building
to
our
property
insurance
coverage,
and
so
that's
the
proposed
addendum
that
you
have
in
front
of
you
that
would
it
would
one
require
us
to
add
the
building
which
we
own
to
our
own
property
insurance
coverage
and
then
to
require
them
to
annually,
reimburse
us
the
cost
of
the
any
increase
in
premium
that
we
see
attributable
to
adding
that
building
to
our
property
insurance
coverage.
E
C
E
Right
yeah,
we
would
expect
that
our
premium,
I
believe,
attributable
to
the
property
coverage
for
them
is
30
500
roughly
a
year.
We
would
expect
our
cost
to
us.
Incrementally
would
be
less
than
that,
so
it
would
be
the
way
it's
written
currently
would
be
a
net
zero
financial
implication
on
the
city,
and
it
would
be
a
cost
saving
to
them.
D
F
E
D
D
E
B
E
If
the
board,
if
the
council
takes
action
on
this
today
and
approves
it,
then
I'll
immediately
reach
back
out
to
them.
I
assume
that
they've,
I
didn't
stay
for
the
remainder
of
their
meeting.
The
last
time
I
went,
but
I
assumed
that
they
would
move
forward
with
it
if
the
council
approves
it,
but
I'll
follow
up
with
that.
C
Those
opposed
signify,
saying,
nay,
motion
carries.
Thank
you.
Item
b
is
approval
of
a
bid
award
for
the
aty
terminal,
building
project
number
1927
to
gray
construction
in
the
amount
of
10
million
232
000
contingent
upon
faa
review
and
the
city's
receipt
of
grant,
offer
and
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
all
applicable
faa
grant
and
contract
documents
have
a
motion
by
holine
and
a
second
by
bill
hauer,
and
I
will
ask
the
public
works
director
city
engineer,
heath
von
nai,
to
explain
this.
A
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
and
thank
you
for
council
for
being
here
today
for
this
special
meeting.
This
is
a
a
pretty
exciting
meeting
for
us
as
staff
and
obviously
for
the
council
in
the
community
as
a
whole.
A
time
we've
waited
for
and
put
a
lot
of
work
and
effort
into
with
our
consultants
and
and
staff,
and
several
of
your
time
on
committees
in
relation
to
the
new
airport
terminal
project.
A
If
you
recall
back
in
august
august
20th,
we
did
open
the
bids
for
the
main
part
of
the
project,
the
the
terminal
building
itself
and
those
bids
came
in
so
well
that
we
were
able
to
in
the
effort
to
maximize
our
grant
award
amount
and
the
grant
monies
available
to
us.
We
were
able
to
go
out
for
another
bid
for
additional
work
that
was
just
open
this
morning
and
that'll
be
the
subsequent
action
here
after
this
one,
but
the
first
and
primary
bid
award
that
we're
proposing
here
is
for
the
new
terminal
building.
A
The
apparent
low
bidder
was
great
construction
from
right
here
in
watertown
they
had
a
bid
of
10
million
232
000.
That
amount
was
almost
2
million
lower
than
the
engineer's
estimate.
Hence
the
additional
amount
we
were
able
to
go
out
for
to
bid
for
more
work.
For
this,
this
bid
award
does
include
the
base
bid
for
the
construction
of
a
new
airport
terminal
building
and
three
alternates.
A
We
had
worked
three
alternates
into
this
bid,
not
knowing
what
the
bid
climate
was
going
to
be
like
and
what
kind
of
work
we
could
incorporate
into
this
portion
of
the
of
the
work.
But
those
three
alternates
include
the
enclosure
of
the
of
the
luggage
or
bag
room
and
an
alternate
for
additional
concrete
on
the
apron
and
then
a
third
alternate
for
some
more
concrete
work
on
the
north
and
west
sides
of
the
airport
terminal.
A
Building
with
that,
I
will
hand
it
over
to
mitch
walker's
online
with
us
he's
our
consultant
from
meet
and
hunt
who's
helped
with
their
our
who
we
have
a
primary
contract
with
for
the
design
of
the
airport
terminal
and
I'd.
Let
him
talk
to
the
the
results
here
that
we've
received
and
also
share
my
screen
and
share
the
bid
tabs
and
the
numbers
here
for
for
everybody
match
go
ahead.
Please
if
you
would.
G
Thank
you,
heath
and
thank
you
to
the
city
council
for
quickly
getting
this
council
meeting
set
up
as
again.
This
is
a
really
exciting
council.
These
are
fun
so,
as
heath
alluded
to,
we
had
some
pretty
unprecedented
numbers,
come
back
with
the
bid
opening
for
the
terminal
building.
We
had
eight
total
bidders
submit
for
bid
on
this
project.
We
also
had
a
total
of
15
bidders
pull
plans
which
is
significantly
more
than
where
than
than
typical.
G
We,
we
would
love
it
if
we'd
see
four
to
five
bidders
go
hard
at
a
project,
but
to
get
eight
actually
submit
bids
and
15
pull
plans
was
something
really
incredible.
All
of
those
construction
outfits
were
a
majority
of
them
were
from
right
in
south
dakota,
with
a
couple
coming
in
from
north
dakota
and
a
couple
from
minnesota,
so
to
have
great
construction
come
in
as
the
apparent
low
qualified.
You
know,
it's
it's
meeting
hans.
It's
our
pleasure
to.
G
G
As
heath
alluded
to
you
know,
we
were
our
engineer's
estimate
was
a
couple
million
dollars
higher
than
this,
and-
and
I
know
that
that
can
raise
some
flags,
but
the
bid
climate
that
we
saw
this
year
was
really
again
unprecedented.
We
saw
a
lot
of
contractors
who
really
wanted
some
security
in
their
backlog,
with
a
federal
project
coming
in
and
and
the
competition
was
pretty
steady
for
them.
So
I'd
open
it
up
to
any
questions.
The
council
would
have.
A
D
Heath-
maybe
you
said
it,
but
this
did
go
through
the
airport
board
and
it's
coming
before
us.
As
for
approval
just
a
question,
I
I've
got
the
utmost
regard
for
a
great
construction.
I
mean
the
work
around
the
area
has
proven
itself.
I
just
when
I
I
think
the
public
for
the
public's
sake.
I
just
want
to
get
it
out
there
that
there
was
nothing
necessarily
that
unique
about
this
project
that
would
that
would
not
make
very
qualify
to
to
do
the
work.
Is
that
a
fair
statement?
Obviously.
A
Yeah,
I
would
say
that's
a
fair
statement
and
mitch
if
you
want
to
chime
in
as
well
to
that
regard.
But
you
know
we
rely
on
our
consultants.
You
know,
along
with
staff,
doing
the
research
and
and
having
a
level
of
confidence
and
any
contract
or
the
bids
on
our
work.
We
also
rely
on
our
consultants
to
do
that
as
well
and
mitch.
G
Yeah,
so
there
weren't
really
any
sort
of
airport
specific
projects,
but
you
know
in
talking
with
our
partners
at
helms
and
co-op
architects
as
well.
You
know
we,
we
are
aware
of
gray.
We
we
knew
that
they
were
likely
going
to
push
for
this
project,
as
they
are
local
right
there
in
watertown,
as
you
guys
are
all
aware,
they're
doing
quite
a
bit
of
work
around
the
city
and
and
this
project
fell
kind
of
right
within
that
sort
of
civic
type
project
that
is
right
within
their
wheelhouse.
G
So
you
know,
there's
always
going
to
be
some.
I
I
I
don't
even
want
to
call
it
a
learning
process,
but
but
there
are
a
lot
of
federal
requirements
on
these
projects,
faa,
specs
by
american
requirements
and
things
of
that
nature.
You
know,
we've
worked
through
that
already
during
you
know,
pre-bid
meetings
and
we'll
work
through
that
in
pre-construction
meetings
with
with
great
construction,
but
they
seem
to
be
well
qualified
to
handle
a
project
this
scale
so
we're
in
good
shape
and
can
back
gray
for
sure.
C
G
G
You
know
once
those
are
approved
by
the
city
we'll
send
those
up
to
the
faa.
We
would
anticipate
grants
coming
back
by
the
end
of
the
month,
which
is
the
end
of
their
fiscal
year.
We
will,
after
city
council,
you
know
votes
on
this.
We
could
schedule
a
pre-construction
meeting
with
great
construction
and
again
start
that
process
of
mobe.
So
I
would
anticipate
shovels
in
the
ground
in
mid-october
or
sooner
hopefully,
and
and
then
that
construction
project
was
about
475.
G
G
If
there
were
no
more
questions
for
me,
just
thanking
the
council
for
this
opportunity
to
work
with
you
guys
again,
this
is
my
hometown
airport
and
I
know
jason
kan
the
project
architect
for
this
project
too
grew
up
in
watertown,
so
a
really
incredible
opportunity,
a
once-in-a-generation
type
project
for
the
city
as
well.
So
thank
you
all
and
that's
all
I'd
have
to
say.
E
C
As
I
read
this
item
c,
is
approval
of
a
bid
award
for
the
airport
partial
air
carrier,
ramp
project
number
1927
in
the
to
timmons
construction
inc
in
the
amount
of
six
hundred
seventy
two
thousand
nine
hundred
twelve
dollars,
fifty
five
cents
contingent
upon
faa
review
and
city's
receipt
of
a
grant,
offer
an
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
all
applicable
faa,
grant
and
contract
documents,
a
motion
by
holine
and
a
second
by
albertson,
and
I
will
again
ask
city
engineer:
public
works
director,
heath
von.
I
to
tell
us
about
this.
A
Yes,
thank
you
mayor,
so
this
is
the
subsequent
work
that
we
did
put
forward.
As
I
described
earlier
with
the
outstanding
bids
we
received
on
the
terminal
building
our
we
work
with
our
consultants.
Our
consultants
did
a
great
job
of
brainstorming
how
to
and
what
to
put
into
a
bid
for
additional
work
to
again
maximize
our
grant,
award
amounts
and
helens
associates
is
with
us
here
today.
A
They
are
a
sub
consultant
of
ours
through
our
contract
with
meet
and
hunt,
and
they
are
responsible
for
all
the
the
civil
site,
work,
design
and
bidding
and
and
subsequently
construction
management
for
us
as
well
for
the
airport
terminal
project.
So
that
being
said
I'll
hand
this
over
to
mike,
and
he
can
talk
about
what
this
work
entailed
and
the
outstanding
bids
we
received
on
this
as
well.
This
morning.
F
Well,
I
think
the
consensus
is,
if
you
have
any
projects,
to
bid,
get
them
out
to
bid
right
away.
We've
been
getting
some
pretty
good
prices,
as
as
heath
alluded
to
bids
came
in
so
well
for
the
terminal
that
there's
leftover
money
within
that
nine
million
dollar
supplemental
appropriation
to
the
city
of
watertown.
F
We
want
to
maximize
those
funds
if,
if
they
don't
get
spent
here,
they're
going
to
get
spent
somewhere
else
and
two-fold
is
that
we
can
get
more
work
done.
That's
that
frees
up
discretionary
money
for
next
year
for
the
kind
of
phase
two
portion
of
the
terminal
project,
that's
less
money
that
the
faa
has
to
come
up
with
and
find
nationwide
to
to
finish
off
the
terminal
project
as
a
whole.
So
we
did.
We
did
a
about
105
feet
by
450
feet
of
the
new
air
carrier.
F
F
Our
goal
is
to
expend
all
that
nine
million
dollars
for
the
terminal
project.
That's
what
the
fa's
goal
is.
That's
what
this
that's!
What
everybody's
goal
is
we're
going
to
have
a
substantial
amount
of
administration
or
contingency
we've
got
some
set
aside
for
the
building
and
we're
going
to
have
plenty
set
aside
for
this
air
carrier
amp
as
we
get
into
construction
for
the
building.
G
F
Feel
that
we're
not
going
to
have
to
use
all
that,
but
we
want
to
have
it
there
available
in
case
something
pops
up,
but
we
get
towards
the
end
of
the
project
and
we
still
have
remaining
funds.
We
want
to
basically
change
order,
more
apron
work
in
that's
just
less.
We
have
to
do
next
year
with
the
with
the
bid
project
for
next
year
to
be
able
to
expend
all
nine
million
dollars
of
that
supplemental
grant.
If
that
makes
sense,
so
we're
not
gonna
change
order
it
in
right,
right
away.
F
So
if
you
look
at
this
table
in
the
bottom
and
brook
can
kind
of
tag
team
it
with
me
too,
but
this
breaks
down
all
facets
of
construction
for
your
supplemental
grant.
So
first
line
is
aty
terminal
building
construction.
Your
eligible
percentage
of
your
building
is
seventy
four
and
three
quarter
percent.
F
Just
as
a
note,
you're
going
to
look
under
state
share
three
and
a
half
percent
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.
If
you
do
the
math,
it's
not
three
and
a
half
percent,
the
state
does
only
participate
up
to
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.
So
maybe
we
should
have
kind
of
highlighted
that
or
asked
it
something
like
that.
So,
but
if
you're
plugging
the
math
through,
it's
not
going
to
work
out
and
that's
why
the
what
we
did
is
is
broke
out
the
civil
construction
as
part
of
the
the
base
bid
of
the
terminal
construction.
F
F
F
We
have
a
budgetary
number
of
150
000
for
watertown
municipal
utilities,
for
fiber
optic
work
and
for
gas
line
relocation.
Those
are
just
budgetary
numbers,
those
aren't
hard
costs.
Those
will
be
built
to
the
city
once
they
actually
complete
the
work,
but
those
are
numbers
that
we
receive
from
that
entity
for
for
budgeting
purposes,
partial
air
carrier
ramp
construction.
F
F
We've
come
to
the
conclusion
that
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
your
quasi
contingency
for
the
project
is
is
what
they
would
like
to
see
in
there
and
that's
for
unexpected
things.
That's
for
maybe
any
changes
and
finishes
things
like
that
that
come
about
again
that
that
admin
is
at
seventy
four
and
three
quarter
percent
and
then
the
admin
for
the
partial
air
carrier
ramp.
You
can
see
there's
four
hundred
and
or
five
hundred
and
seventeen
thousand
dollars
for
total
admin.
F
It's
a
big
number,
but
the
thing
is:
is
we
want
to
make
sure
we
maximize
your
funds
so
as
we
get
in
through
construction,
as
I
mentioned
before,
if
we're
not
seeing
those
any
of
those
changes,
any
of
those
needs
for
change
orders
for
on
for
scenes,
we
will
at
that
point
start
communicating
with
the
timmins
construction
on
okay.
Let's
look
at
starting
to
add
more
panels.
Add
more
depth
to
that
apron.
So
we
maximize
those
funds-
the
it's
not
going
to
matter
as
far
as
a
city
share
rate.
It's
it's.
It
would
be.
A
F
You
know
there
was
other
things
that
we
potentially
looked
at.
Instead
of
doing
apron
work,
we
looked
at
maybe
getting
the
passenger
boarding
bridge
under
contract.
However,
with
the
supplemental
grant
application
and
how
the
wording
is
and
how
they
can,
I
don't
code
it
if
you
will,
the
apron
would
would
make
more
sense
in
their
the
region
in
the
in
the
headquarters
to
fund
that
versus
a
passenger
boarding
bridge.
That's
they
don't
really
consider
the
boarding
bridge
part
of
the
terminal.
If
you
will
it's
kind
of
a
supplemental
item.
G
Add
I
I
guess
I
would
just
say
the
you
know
the
administration
for
terminal
building.
You
know
we
typically
can't
use
the
you
know
it's
not
a
contingency
per
se
in
the
faa's
eyes,
but
administratively,
yes,
and-
and
we
really
like
to
hold
even
you
know
up
to
five
percent
on
on
heavy
reconstruction
projects.
Now
this
is
a
ground-up
new
build.
So
roughly
you
know,
four
percent
seems
about
right.
So
I
think
from
that
standpoint
it's
it's
the
correct
number
and
I
think
it's
just
good
to
have
coverage.
F
F
So
the
the
phase-
two,
if
you
will
for
this
project,
would
be
finishing
off
this
air
carrier
ramp,
there's
a
little
bit
of
taxiway
work
to
get
there
and
then
your
land
side
stuff.
Your
parking
lots,
your
access,
roads,
there's,
there's
landscaping
involved
in
that
you
know,
there's
going
to
be
a
fairly
significant
change
in
how
the
road
work
is
out
at
the
airport
right
now
to
to
keep
the
flow
of
people
getting
to
and
from
the
airport,
as
well
as
maintaining
access
for
the
industrial
folks
out.
There.
B
C
Sorry
about
that.
I
added
that
I
added
that
myself
didn't
get
it
printed
out.
So
this
is
an
annual
thing.
It
would
normally
go
on
as
a
consent.
Agenda
item
just
didn't
make
it
because
it
was
a
late
addition
to
the
agenda,
but
you
can
see
this
will
be
held
out
at
the
stadium
as
usual
and
it's
next
thursday
night.
So
are
there
any
questions.
B
C
C
We
do
have
an
announcement
today
is
patriot
day,
and
it
is
the
19th
anniversary
of
the
9
11
2001
attacks
on
our
country
to
the
world
trade
center
into
the
pentagon.
Thousands
of
people
lost
their
lives
so
we're
recognizing
that
with
flags
at
half
staff.
There
was
a
ceremony
this
morning
that
some
of
you
participated
in
at
fire
station
one
and
so
all
over
our
country
were
taking
a
moment
of
silence
here
and
there.
Why
don't?
We
do
that
right
now
for
those
who
lost
their
lives.
C
Okay,
thank
you
and
our
world
changed
after
that.
Didn't
it
any
other
announcements,
all
right.
We
will
be
going
to
into
executive
session
pursuant
to
sdcl
1-25-2
in
order
to
consult
with
our
legal
counsel
on
contractual
matters,
and
we
do
not
expect
to
take
action
upon
coming
out.
So
look
for
a
motion.
