Council approves concrete option and several pay requests for Bridges Clubhouse project
Summary
The council authorized switching to concrete for a golf-cart parking area and approved multiple pay requests for the Bridges Clubhouse covered patio addition and related projects; the architect later provided a signed certification for a pay request included in the meeting.
The Beersford City Council approved a contractor option to use concrete instead of asphalt for a golf-cart parking-area path adjacent to the Bridges Clubhouse covered-patio addition and authorized multiple contractor pay requests related to the clubhouse and other infrastructure work.
Concrete option: Council approved a motion to accept a concrete option for golf-cart parking and nearby paths at the Bridges Clubhouse and Event Center, citing longer-term performance for soft soils behind the clubhouse. The council approved the option as presented: an estimated local contractor price of $14,600 for the concrete option was discussed in the packet and included in the motion.
Pay requests: Council authorized several pay requests tied to the clubhouse and related work during the meeting: - Pay request for Gilhaug Construction (bridges clubhouse covered patio addition). Staff noted the architect had provided a signed approval that arrived after the packet; the pay request was moved and approved during the meeting. The packet lines include numbers shown at different points in the discussion (the meeting contains two references: $80,193.60 and later $183,193.60); staff confirmed the architect-signed paperwork later in the meeting and recommended approval. - Pay request number 2 to First Rate Excavating for $151,821.43 for the Seventh Street utility extension project was authorized. - Pay request number 14 from SiteWorks for $295,000.336 (as shown in the packet) for work on the wastewater-treatment facility and SAG units was authorized.
Why it matters: The decisions move several construction and capital projects forward and involve city contract payments, budget impacts and construction sequencing. Staff confirmed that the architect had signed one pay request after the agenda packet was distributed, and council approved it after receiving the signed certification.
What the council voted: Council handled multiple separate motions during the meeting to authorize the concrete option and to approve contractor pay requests; each motion passed with standard roll-call or voice approval. Staff noted remaining balances after pay requests and that the project retains a balance for completion.
Ending: City staff will process the approved pay requests and proceed with the concrete work per the contractor’s schedule; the architect’s signed approval for the Gilhaug request was received after the packet was issued and staff confirmed it during the meeting.
