Active transportation: Jason Anderson, Director of Public Works and City Engineer, told the council that bids opened March 12 for the Marshall Active Transportation Improvement Project and that the low responsive bidder was RNG Construction for $288,777.70. \"We did have a $360,000 active transportation state grant for this project,\" Anderson said, noting that construction would be fully grant funded and that the city expected to use municipal state aid funds to cover engineering and any overages. The council voted to accept the bid award and to authorize execution of the MnDOT grant agreement.

Manufactured-home-park hearing: City Attorney Whitmore told council staff received an updated notice of closure for Broadmoor Valley Manufactured Home Park on Feb. 18, 2025, triggering the city's responsibilities under chapter 327C, specifically \"327C0.095\" as cited in the packet. The council set a public hearing for May 7 at 5:30 p.m. in the Marshall Middle School theater and discussed that the hearing will allow public comment and that the council must appoint third-party arbitrators as the statute requires.

BNSF / Trunk Highway 68: Public Works Director Jason Anderson explained that BNSF will replace crossing panels and MnDOT will install drainage and a culvert beneath the tracks; some work will occur on city right-of-way because MnDOT lacked full easement on the roadway shoulders. The council authorized three items: (1) execution of the agreement with BNSF/MnDOT, (2) a resolution approving MnDOT construction plans and authorizing work on city right-of-way, and (3) a detour agreement using City Street/Channel Parkway. City staff said no local cost participation is required. All three motions passed on roll call.

Consent agenda and events: The council approved the consent agenda items en bloc after removing items 6 and 7 for discussion. The packet listed ordinances to amend graffiti regulations and to regulate temporary cannabis events, service agreements for an amateur-sports-complex concessionaire, several event permits, a notice of assessment related to South Whitney Street reconstruction, and approval of bills and project payments. The council then discussed and separately approved:
- Shades of the Past car show street-closure request for June 6 (cruise) and June 7 (car show) on Baseline Road and Susan Drive; Councilmember Craig Schaefer said he is a member of Shades of the Past and abstained; the motion passed with one abstention.
- South Whitney Street reconstruction project: council approved a resolution preparing the assessment roll; Councilmember Lesinski abstained from that vote; the motion otherwise passed.

Nut Graf: The meeting combined project approvals that enable active-transportation improvements and a rail-crossing coordination with larger policy and procedural items including a state-mandated public hearing for a manufactured-home-park closure. Consent-agenda business advanced routine ordinances, event permits and service agreements that will proceed as standard city actions.

Council comments and next steps: Councilmembers and staff encouraged affected stakeholders to attend the May 7 public hearing for Broadmoor Valley Manufactured Home Park; staff will post statutory notices and supply mailed notices as required. For the active-transportation project, staff will execute the MnDOT grant agreement and proceed with contract administration; for the BNSF/MnDOT work staff will coordinate right-of-way use and implement the detour plan during construction.

Ending: The council closed the meeting after liaison reports and routine staff updates. Several members noted upcoming appearances at the state capitol for legislative hearings and ongoing community work.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","03.25.2025 Marshall City Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Marshall City Council awarded a state-funded active-transportation construction contract, set a public hearing for a manufactured-home-park closure, approved MnDOT/BNSF agreements for a rail crossing, and passed multiple consent-agenda ordinances and event permits.","taxTitle","Marshall City, Lyon County, Minnesota","taxId",70995,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6275976,"Marshall Council awards construction contracts and approves budget for new aquatic center",1831,1145000,2976000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2767600-3576fc9ce672e19e8e211f0289770d58&start=1145&end=2976","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2767600-3576fc9ce672e19e8e211f0289770d58/thumbnail_1145000.jpg","/articles/6275976/Marshall-City/Lyon-County/Minnesota/Marshall-Council-awards-construction-contracts-and-approves-budget-for-new-aquatic-center","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6275976-8517831c538866d42b2e81e119fe78ed/orig.mp4?Expires=1771182587&Signature=UcrV3wjFzV5PFn2fFwqOoliX7OQGBDYqnpkJ7nMLuziaLQQ0fOwvOaodR2Bg4AyGf4cTx66a78AuM8bBenOHCeWKJ2w8h2TdBF2t3W3oL~UoP1AuRPctrfdjBEIrzORgAUnBb06KyCRRN~d2z9oxWhX75UnOCN1UN9CMlFfFKYFqf-rJH0UdFLJNu1n7F0YY-0xbNw~b-dov-wdXz~JC7U-fdWEom0W7ZrdjbAMsgsl9PnJqBOSseYS4osZQRY1zwvZqC-9hkvC14yEPLgEb1LfaF2lMA4k0luanpKhMSNem2APMrY5QDHK5vZfBgLOHcuC2zF21yE2uuYmxO9415w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Marshall City Council approved bids and a budget to build a redesigned Marshall Aquatic Center, awarding multiple construction contracts and authorizing the city to enter necessary contracts within the project budget.

The council approved low bids across 16 packaged contracts, including the largest award of $8,511,404 to Global Specialty Contractors for the aquatics work, and approved a project subtotal for construction of $19,174,006.27. \"We currently have $420,000 of donations on hand with the city,\" said EJ, staff member, explaining the combined revenue plan. \"We currently have total revenues planned over 20,100,000.0.\" The council then voted to approve the full set of awards and the project budget.

Council members and project consultants said the redesign and competitive bidding produced favorable results. David Locke, representative for Stockwell (project architect), described the principal features of the redesigned facility, including a leisure lifestyle pool with zero-depth entry and above-ground play features, a 10-foot-wide leisure river sized for tubes, a plunge area with a tube slide, and a deep-water pool with one- and three-meter diving boards. \"That pool has a lot of the amenities... that people have come to expect within aquatic centers,\" Locke said.

Larry Phillipi, representing Integrity (construction manager), told the council that bid openings on March 11 produced broad competition: \"We got 51 total bids in the 16 packages. Very pleased with the results.\" Phillipi noted some vendor responsiveness issues that shifted awards in a few packages and outlined that several alternates could be accepted because bids came in below earlier estimates.

Finance staff presented the sources and uses the council relied on to approve alternates. EJ, staff member, said the package presented in the council packet showed a project subtotal (contract pieces) of $19,174,006.27 and that total project costs including prior land purchase, decommissioning and administrative items bring the plan to just over $20,100,000. \"So again, $18,370,000 is what was authorized by the voters at the referendum,\" EJ said, explaining that the sales tax authorization is the largest funding source but that donations, ARPA funds used for land purchase and other revenues fill the remainder.

Council members and staff acknowledged fundraising and committee work. Mayor Burns and Sharon (staff member) thanked members of the Aquatic Center Committee and fundraising co-chairs. John Brown, president of Stockwell, told the council: \"We're gonna make this a success.\" The council voted unanimously to award the listed contracts and to approve the total aquatic center budget and authorization to execute contracts within the adopted finance policies.

Nut Graf: Councilmembers said the pool redesign, competitive bidding and additional revenues (donations and federal ARPA funds used for land) allowed most alternates to be accepted while keeping the contract subtotal within the project estimate. The approvals authorize the city to proceed with construction under the city’s finance policies and established change-order procedures.

The council discussed how fundraising and sales tax referendum proceeds work together to pay for construction and noncontract costs such as land purchase and decommissioning of the existing pool. EJ noted estimates for decommissioning (roughly $300,000) and that some administrative costs were previously incurred.

What happens next: With contracts awarded and the budget authorized, the construction manager and architect will coordinate preconstruction activities, and the Aquatic Center Committee will remain active during construction. Staff said change-order procedures and contingency management will follow the city’s adopted finance policy and future resolution clarifications.

Ending: Council members and consultants thanked staff, the design and construction teams, and volunteers. John Brown (Stockwell) closed by thanking the council: \"We really appreciate that and we're gonna make this a success.\"","The Marshall City Council accepted low bids for 16 construction packages, awarded the largest aquatics contract, and approved a project budget that combines the voter-authorized sales tax, donations and other sources to fund the Marshall Aquatic Center.","actionData","errors"]
