The request of the City Planner for authorization to award bid to Earthtech for surveying services
for five parcels of property acquired as part of Shaulis Road was reviewed. The Shaulis Road
reconstruction project involved the acquisition or easement retained on approximately 30 parcels
of land. The city has recently had inquiries regarding the excess property not needed for right-of-
way purposes. New federal regulations stipulate that in order for the city to dispose of excess
right-of-way, the city must not only have a disposal plat of survey completed to determine the
excess property available for sale and conveyance, but must also have the excess property
appraised and first choice of sale be given to the former owner.
The following bids were received for surveying services for said parcels of property:
Bidder Bid Amount
Earthtech $2,500.00
Van Winkle Surveying & Engineering $5,740.00
Helland Surveying&Engineering $3,985.00
Claassen Engineering $4,900.00
It was the recommendation of the City Planner that the bid from Earthtech in the amount of
$2,500.00 be accepted. Moved by Getty, seconded by Krizek that said recommendation be
approved. Ayes: Two. Absent: Jordan. Motion carried.
The request of the City Clerk for authorization to renew the Inland Marine Insurance coverage
with St. Paul Insurance was reviewed. The premium has increased considerably from last year
due to the numerous large equipment purchases from John Deere. The total value of scheduled
equipment covered during the past year was $4,705,310, and the value of scheduled equipment
covered under the renewal policy has a value of$7,135,319. The premium paid for Inland Marine
Insurance for the past year was $14,947, with this year's premium $24,863. The Inland Marine
Insurance will be included in the City's General Liability, Auto and Umbrella package which will
be renewed in October 1999. This has resulted in a prorated premium of$18,598 for the period
of January 1, 1999 through October 1, 1999. Moved by Getty, seconded by Krizek that the
renewal premium for Inland Marine Insurance for the period of January 1, 1999 through October
1, 1999 at a cost of$18,598 be approved. Ayes: Two. Absent: Jordan. Motion carried.
