The Water Fund Capital budgets have been reviewed by staff and it has been determined <br /> that funds are available to proceed with this project. This is possible because of delays to or the <br /> cancellation of other water fund projects during this fiscal year. In the case of delayed projects, <br /> the full budgeted amount will not be spent by the end of the current fiscal year. However, in most <br /> cases funds will have to be budgeted for the completion of these delayed projects in the next fiscal <br /> year. Projects that were canceled are generally related to the expansion of the water distribution <br /> system to new service areas and may be deferred to a later date. <br /> It is recommended by staff that the City Council approve the attached resolution awarding <br /> the contract for the Lake Decatur Dam Improvements - Replacement of Hydraulic System, City <br /> Project No. 8918-D, to Osage Constructors, Incorporated, as the lowest responsive, responsible <br /> bidder and that the Mayor be authorized to execute the contract. This recommendation of award <br /> based on the receipt of one bid is considered reasonable in this case given the unique nature of the <br /> work, the relative closeness to the engineer's estimate and the limited number of qualified <br /> contractors capable of performing this type of work. <br /> City staff will be in attendance at the City Council meeting to answer any questions that <br /> the Council members may have. <br /> attach.: 3 <br /> cc: Beth J.
