Summary

City staff presented engineered plans and a contractor bid of $92,450 to rebuild the downtown community green-space stage; council authorized staff to draft a resolution to accept the bid and return for formal approval, noting $39,500 in insurance remains and the city would likely use local option sales tax for the balance.

City administrator Andrea (S10) and Director of Public Works Wayland (S8) presented updated engineered plans and a contractor bid to rebuild the downtown community stage that was lost in a storm last year. Staff said an engineering firm produced more detailed plans after initial bids failed and that the bid received for the new, engineered steel-framed stage was $92,450.

Andrea said the city has roughly $39,500 in remaining insurance proceeds; to proceed staff proposed using local option sales tax to cover the remaining cost. Wayland described the design as a steel skeleton bolted together with a standing-seam metal roof, gussets and bracing, and said that if the council decided promptly a contractor could have the stage completed by Labor Day.

Council moved to proceed with bringing a formal resolution to accept the bid and authorize construction; the motion passed on roll call. Staff will return with the formal resolution and contract documents for council action.
