Summary

Police Chief Christmann reported receiving one bid for a secured entrance at the police department and said an expected second contractor 'didn't show up.' Council asked for additional bids and Council Member Whitehead noted the bid omitted a needed French drain that Public Works can tie in.

Police Chief Christmann told the council he had received a bid for a secured entrance at the police department but that "they didn’t show up" — referring to a second contractor expected to inspect or bid on the work. Mayor James Hamberg asked the police chief to obtain additional bids. Council Member Whitehead said he reviewed the one bid and observed it did not address a French drain that is required; he noted that Public Works could tie in the French drain if necessary.

The minutes do not include estimated costs, contractor names, or a schedule for re-bidding. No formal procurement action or award was recorded in the minutes; the item was handled as a request to solicit additional bids and resolve the French-drain scope before proceeding.
