The council will meet in closed session beginning at 5:30 p.m. to discuss labor negotiations with unrepresented management before it opens the public portion of the meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 7, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
Tuesday’s meeting will feature a discussion on the proposed award of the construction contract for the City Hall Remodel Project to Bridges Construction of Lakeport.
City Manager Margaret Silveira’s report to the council explained that Bridges Construction was the low bidder for the project, at $187,860.
She said the project is to provide Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant access to the City Hall administration and finance payment counter, to remodel office space for the Planning Department and to provide additional storage for the council chambers.
She said the city engineer’s estimate for this project was $183,434. Bridges Construction was the low bidder and only bidder at $235,610, and after working with the engineer the firm amended its bid, dropping it by $47,750. Amendments included changing construction to daytime operations.
Silveira said construction is estimated to start June 1.
In other business, the council will appoint one member as the city representative to the Lake
County Airport Land Use Commission Board of Directors, and one member to Clean Water Management Program Council as well as one alternate.
Also on Tuesday, the council will present proclamations designating May 12 to 18 as Police Week and May 18 to 24 as National Safe Boating Week, and offer a certificate of recognition to Lakeport Police Officer Casey DeBolt for his efforts to stem drunk driving in the community.
