acres, but the airport will only be purchasing approximately ½ of the parcel. The portion that
will be purchased is under the Airport Runway Protection Zone (RPZ). The purchase price is
$4.74 per foot and the final purchase price will be established upon completion of a survey.
The purchase will be funded from the July 19th Bond Sale ($1,000,000) with the balance from the
Airport Reserve fund. This transaction is eligible for 95% FAA reimbursement, but that
reimbursement may occur over the next three to four years. A garage is the only structure
located on the site. Cal has requested that he can continue to use the garage and pasture for up
to one year while he builds a new barn. A boundary line adjustment will need to be done as
part of the transaction, adding this piece to our adjacent property.
HISTORY: In the 70’s the airport purchased the avigation easement over the property which
restricts any penetration into the airspace.

DESCRIPTION: Council is being asked to review the attached resolution for adoption at
the July 6, 2010 Council meeting. This project was bid as noted below under history.
However – because of product delivery issues specified in the bid documents, it has
been determined that it would be in the best interest of the City to reject all bids and re-
bid the project using standard concrete sidewalk specifications.
HISTORY: On February 11, 2010 bids were opened bids for this project and the
apparent low bidder was R Custom Excavation. Council awarded the project to R
Custom Excavation on March 1, 2010 and contract documents were executed followed
by a Conditional Notice to Proceed. It has since become apparent that delivery cannot
be achieved by the Contractor for the PercoCrete product as specified and has resulted
in a withdrawal of the conditional notice to proceed.
The project was redesigned using traditional concrete and is ready for rebidding. This
project consists of installing f approximately 1600 linear feet of 5 foot wide concrete
sidewalks on Gifford Ave between 1st St and 3rd St. This project is funded with a
$92,000.00 ARRA Grant and Traffic Mitigation monies. The re-bid of the project will
not affect the Grant funding.
