MONROE - On Monday, Aug. 18, the City of Monroe Board of Public Works:
• Accepted a quote from Sloan Implement, Monroe, in the amount of $19,330 for a replacement lawn mower and authorized Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent Jerry Ellefson to purchase it. The equipment was budgeted and replaces a 1978 mower for which repairs had become too costly.
• Recommended to City Council to hire Fehr-Graham and Associates in the amount of $49,000, not to exceed $75,000, for construction observations for the Wal-Mart project for installation of utilities that will be deeded to the city. Fehr-Graham will oversee the materials and methods used to install the utilities to make sure they meet city codes and requirements.
• Recommended to Council to approve a cost reimbursement agreement for Wal-Mart for utilities construction observations. The cost of Fehr-Graham's services will be paid for out of the general fund, and reimbursed by Wal-Mart as part of the agreement. The cost was not part of the original Wal-Mart planned unit development agreement with the city.
• Approved for payment bills from Rock Solid Concrete in the amount of $30,796.68 for the 2008 sidewalk project; from Green Valley Disposal in the amount of $3,349.52 for recycling; from Hasse Surveying in the amount of $4,885 for Eighth/Ninth streets plat; from Willett, Hofmann, & Associates, Inc. in the amount of $3,381.20 for 30th Street detention basin engineering services; from Fehr-Graham & Associates in the amount of $1,322 for downtown area survey, base map and schematic design.
