Special Town Board Meeting of Aug. 28, 2007

Chairman Jeff Long called the meeting to order at 7:01 p.m.  Also
present were Supervisors David Schuenemann and Charlie Spencer, Deputy
Clerk/Treasurer Barbara Boston; and guests George Lurvey (Pitlik &
Wick), and Kevin Trevillian (Coleman Engineering.)  

Visitors present were Ned Pierce, Wally Krueger, Steve Duba, and Ken
Ehle.

MOTION/SCHUENEMANN:  SECOND/SPENCER:  To approve the agenda as
posted.  MOTION CARRIED.

Agenda item:  Awarding of bid for Old Hwy. K road construction
project.  Chairman Long turned the meeting over to Kevin Trevillian
from Coleman Engineering.  

Mr. Trevillian discussed the options.  He recommended that the town
award the bid to Pitlik & Wick and negotiate a change order to reduce
the cost to the original plan.  He presented Change Order #1 and
explained it in detail.  Discussion ensued.  A major factor could be
heavy trucks in spring; but there’s no heavy truck traffic in the
spring on that particular road.  They would watch the traffic going to
the dump and monitor the logging trucks.

Ned Pierce stated that he opposed the usage of plastic storm sewer
instead of concrete due to possible strength and joint problems. 
George Lurvey from Pitlik & Wick stated that the old plastic pipe was
a problem, but the new double walled is no problem. 

Mr. Pierce stated that the excavation price is on the low side.

Ken Ehle asked if it was urgent to do the project this year. 
Chairman Long responded that the Town Road Improvement Fund (TRIP)
grant for $25,000 could expire if it’s not used.

Discussion ensued.  Mr. Trevillian reviewed the original bid. 
MOTION/LONG: SECOND/SCHUENEMANN:  To award the bid to Pitlik & Wick as
stated.  No discussion.  MOTION CARRIED.

Change order to be reviewed the week of Labor Day.

MOTION/LONG:  SECOND/SCHUENEMANN:  To adjourn the meeting at 7:26 
p.m.  MOTION CARRIED.

Respectfully submitted,


Barbara J. Boston
Deputy Clerk/Treasurer
