Motion approved unanimously.

IV. Zoning Board of Appeals Report:

Commissioner Friedrich reported that the Zoning Board of Appeals heard two cases at their

November meeting. In the first case the applicant was requesting a variance from Section

154.120 regarding the minimum number of parking spaces required for off street parking. The

applicant is making a small addition to the rear of the Mt. Pleasant Shopping Center at 2125 S.

Mission Street. Because of this, the code requires that he provide additional parking because of

the increase in floor space. The applicant has operated at this location for the past 30 years

without any parking issues and would be able to provide the required amount of employee

parking; and has land area, which is currently landscaped, to be held in reserve for an additional

343 parking spaces if the need arises in the future. Several aerial photographs of the site showed

the parking lot only being 10-15% full, which made a strong case that there is already adequate

parking for this shopping center. In light of the above, the variance was granted.

Commissioner Friedrich reported that the second case, which is on the Planning Commission's

agenda tonight, was a request for a variance from Section 154.067(C)(4), requiring a six foot

masonry screening wall at a drive-thru lane at the Culver's restaurant on Pickard Street. The

applicant is looking to reconfigure the drive-thru lane in order to increase safety in the parking lot

by allowing the stacking of more vehicles in the drive-thru lane. The drive-thru lane currently

does not have a masonry wall because the site plan had been approved without the normally

required wall some time before construction began in 2005. It was the Board's determination that

in this particular situation the addition of a 6 foot wall would actually present a public hazard as

it would block site lines to the access drives bordering the restaurant to the west and north. The

variance was granted.

V. Communications:

Kain reported that one communication related to the proposed zoning ordinance was received and

included in the meeting packet.

VI. Public Hearings:

A. SUP-17-21 -1021 E. Pickard

Kain noted that this was the case Commissioner Friedrich reported went through the Zoning

Board of Appeals in November.

Kain reported that the site is located in front of Meijer, off of Pickard Street, and is surrounded

by other commercial businesses. He noted the property is zoned C-3 General Business as are the

surrounding properties. Future land use is designated as Commercial. Kain reported that the

applicant is seeking approval to modify the drive-through for the existing restaurant by extending

the queue lane.

Kain shared photos of the site from various angles, pointing out the area where the queue

entrance would be relocated. Kain reported that drive through restaurants are subject to Special

Use Permits (SUP) and reviewed the SUP conditions that are imposed. Kain noted that with the

variance granted by the ZBA, the site meets all those conditions.

In regards to the site plan review, Kain noted there would be minimal changes to the site. He

further noted that the site is currently out of compliance with the 2005 site plan and the ZBA has

imposed conditions of landscape screening along the west and north property boundaries. Kain

noted that a landscape plan should be required as a condition of approval.

Kain concluded his report recommending approval with the condition imposed by the Zoning

Board of Appeals in granting the variance for the screening wall.

Commissioner Liesch commented that he feels bike racks should be included on the site and

suggested this be added as a condition for approval.

Mike Houseman, Wolverine Building Group, addressed the board representing K-Berger. Mr.

Houseman commented that staff did a great job helping them with this request. He noted that

Culver's has operated in this location for several years and they wish to increase the safety on the

site by extending the drive-through to pull cars away from the entrance to the restaurant. Mr.

Houseman stated that they are in agreement with staff regarding the landscaping and will be

submitting a landscape plan for staff's approval.

Chairman Hoenig opened the public hearing. There being no one who wished to speak, the

public hearing was closed.

Commissioner Liesch stated he uses this particular drive-through and sees the need for the

extension. He reiterated that he feels bicycle parking was overlooked on this plan.

Motion by Liesch, support by Friedrich, to approve SUP-17-21 subject to the following

conditions:

1. The applicant shall provide a landscape plan which includes plantings along the west and

north property boundaries to satisfy the conditions imposed by the Zoning Board of

Appeals in approving the screening wall variance.

2. The applicant shall provide 2 bicycle parking spaces near the primary entrance of the

restaurant.

Motion approved unanimously.

B. SUP-17-21 - 1707 N. Fancher

Kain introduced case SUP-17-21 submitted by TIMMUS LLC, requesting approval for 9 two-

family buildings consisting of 18 condominium units. Kain noted this case was previously

approved in 2016; however, the approval has expired and the applicant is again seeking approval

for the project.

Kain reported that the site is at the far north end of Fancher Avenue, west of Industrial Drive,

and is bordered by Union Township on the north and west. Kain noted that the surrounding

properties to the east and south are currently industrial in both zoning and use and these areas are

designated for Industrial use in the Master Plan as well. Properties to the north and west are

located in Union Township and are zoned R-2A, One & Two-Family. Kain also noted that the

property overlooks the Mt. Pleasant Country Club to the west.

Kain reported that the subject property was transferred to the City in 2006 by the Charter

Township of Union under a 425 agreement which specified that the zoning for this property be

OS-1 Office Service District and designated the City as the zoning authority for the property.

Kain shared photos of the property from various locations, along with the proposed site plan and

elevations, noting this is essentially the same project approved in 2016.

Kain noted that the plan meets all of the SUP criteria.

In regards to the site plan approval, Kain noted that the site exceeds requirements for parking and

meets all the requirements in regards to height, bulk, density and area. Kain noted that as was

noted in the conditions for approval in 2016, approval of the project should include an obscuring

berm with a greenbelt to protect both the residents of the property and the property rights of the

industrial businesses in the area.

Kain noted that sidewalks are being proposed along N. Fancher as required by ordinance and

further reported that there are no requirements for solid waste.

Kain concluded his report with the recommendation to approve with the noted conditions.

Commissioner Joseph asked how far the sidewalk would be extended. Kain responded they

would extend for the length of the property.

Tim Bebee, Central Michigan Surveying & Development, addressed the Board on behalf of the

applicant. Mr. Bebee reiterated that this was basically the same project that was approved in

2016 and has since expired. In order to have it extended they were required to come back before

the Planning Commission.

Vice-Chair Horgan asked if this was a project that would be built in phases. Mr. Bebee

responded that once they get 6 commitments they will begin construction.

Commissioner Kostrzewa commented that this will basically be an isolated piece of sidewalk,

stating that this will be a sidewalk to nowhere and that it doesn't make any sense.

Mr. Bebee commented that the site will be set up so buses, trash pickup, etc. can go to the interior

of the site. He noted that Union Township is currently looking at setting up escrow accounts for

sidewalks in these types of instances. He further commented that because sidewalks are a city

requirement they are shown on the plan.

Chair Hoenig opened the public hearing. There being no one who wished to speak, the public

hearing was closed.

Board Discussion:

Commissioner Kostrzewa questioned whether the board had the authority to waive the sidewalk

requirements. Kain responded that they did not.

Motion by Driessnack, support by Liesch, to approve SUP-17-22 with the following condition:

1. The applicant shall provide a landscape plan with planting schedule that meets the

standards for obscuring greenbelts and walls contained in Section 154.106 of the zoning

ordinance.

Motion approved unanimously.

VII. Public Comments:

Chair Hoenig opened the floor for public comment. There being no one who wished to speak, the

public comments session was closed.

VIII. Site Plan Reviews:

A. SPR-17-14 - 1021 E. Pickard

Kain reported that there was nothing further to report on this case, as the site plan was reviewed

with SUP-17-21 and staff is recommending approval with the condition that the applicant provide a

landscape plan showing compliance with the zoning ordinance and they comply with requirements

of the Divisions of Public Works and Public Safety.

Commissioner Joseph asked if they need to specify where the bike racks should be located. Kain

noted that this was addressed under the SUP conditions.

Motion by Liesch, support by Friedrich, to approve SPR-17-14 subject to the following conditions:

1. The applicant shall provide a landscape plan which complies with the minimum standards of

Section 154.106 of the zoning ordinance.

2. The applicant shall comply with the requirements of the Divisions of Public Works and

Public Safety.

Motion approved unanimously.

B. SPR-17-16 - 1707 N. Fancher

Kain noted that there was nothing further to report as the site plan was reviewed along with SUP-

17-22 and noted that staff is recommending approval with the condition that the applicant complies

with the requirements of the Divisions of Public Works and Public Safety.

Motion by Joseph, support by Liesch, to approve SPR-17-16 with the following condition:

1. The applicant shall comply with the requirements of the Divisions of Public Works and

Public Safety.

Motion approved unanimously.

C. SPR-17-17 - 611 W. Pickard

Kain introduced SPR-17-17, submitted by Peter Rogers, seeking approval to construct a 21 space

Kain reported that the site is located on the south side of West Pickard, just east of the railroad

tracks and with the Chippewa River running directly behind it. Kain reported that the property is

zoned I-1 Industrial with future land use designated as Industrial. Property to the north is zoned C-3

General Business and I-1 Industrial; property to the east and west is zoned I-1 Industrial and

property to the south is zoned R-4 Residential. Future land use is designated as Industrial to the

north, east and west and public parks to the south.

Kain shared photos of the property, noting that some of the construction has already taken place

prior to receiving approval. Kain reported that the applicant has indicated the pole barn will be used

for storage purposes and the parking lot would be leased back to his business, which is just west of

this parcel.

Kain reported that the proposed parking exceeds the requirements of the zoning ordinance. In

addition, sidewalks already exist along Pickard.

Kain noted that there would be greenbelt requirements along Pickard and a screening wall is

required along the south property line. Kain reported that the Planning Commission has the

authority to substitute landscaping in lieu of a screening wall, and based on the location of the

Chippewa River running south of the site, staff is recommending that the Board permits the

substitution of an obscuring greenbelt rather than requiring the screening wall.

Kain concluded his report, recommending approval with several conditions as noted in the staff

report in regards to providing a landscape plan, a plan for solid waste and ADA parking spaces.

Commissioner Irwin asked for clarification on the number of ADA parking spaces that would be

required, and if the parking lot was for customers or for the storage building. Kain commented that

the applicant has indicated that the parking lot would be leased to Pete's Auto Body, but would let

the applicant speak more to this.

Commissioner Friedrich asked about the minimum requirements for solid waste. Kain responded

that because the use isn't clear, staff is requesting that the applicant provide an appropriate plan.

Tim Bebee, Central Michigan Surveying & Development, addressed the Board representing the

applicant. Mr. Bebee responded to the solid waste question, noting that the owner plans to use the

site for storage and doesn't feel there is any need for a dumpster on this site as there is one for Pete's

Auto Body that would be available for any waste generated. Mr. Bebee further commented that if

they are required to have a legal agreement with Pete's Auto Body they could do that, but would like

the ability to terminate the agreement in the future if the property is sold to a different owner and the

need arises for the site to have their own dumpster.

Mr. Bebee asked the Board to keep in mind what this property looked like in the past, noting that a

lot of cleanup work has taken place.

Mr. Bebee further noted that they will put in whatever ADA parking is required and will work with

staff on the most reasonable location. In addition, he noted they would work with staff on a

landscaping plan.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Nancy Ridley

City Manager

CC: William Mrdeza

Community Services and Economic Development Director

FROM: Jacob Kain

City Planner

DATE: January 26, 2018

SUBJECT: Redevelopment Ready Communities update

At their June 27, 2016 meeting, the City Commission by resolution authorized the implementation of

recommendations made by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) and that are

necessary to receive Redevelopment Ready Communities Certification from MEDC. Subsequently, staff

has been working to respond to those recommendations and complete the items necessary to achieve

certification.

On the basis of our fifth quarterly progress report which was submitted in September, MEDC has

determined that two additional evaluation criteria have been satisfied (shown in green on the attached

report). Items shown in yellow or red remain to be completed prior to certification. I anticipate that many

of the outstanding items which related to our zoning ordinance will now be satisfied due to the adoption

of the new zoning ordinance on January 22nd.

Please note that MEDC has changed the reporting timeframe from every three months to every four

months effective with this update. Therefore, the next update will occur in May.

Requested Action:

Receive a copy of the RRC Progress Report 6.

COMMISSION LETTER #023-18 MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 12, 2018

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION FEBRUARY 7, 2018

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: BIDS AND QUOTATIONS a. Island Park and Pickens Fields Infield Repair and Reconditioning

The attached recommendation from Recreation Coordinator Steve Hofer outlines the work needed to repair the fields at both Island Park and Pickens Fields as a result of the 2017 flooding. Based on the bid results we are recommending award of the contract to Turf Services Inc. at a cost of $69,705. The state grant received for public damage reimbursement is the source of funds for this project and is within the approved budget. Recommended Motion: Move to authorize award of contract to Turf Services Inc. at a price of $69,705 for Island Park and Pickens Field infield repair and reconditioning.

b. Parks Department Utility Vehicle

A John Deere gator purchased in 2013 and used by the Parks Department is scheduled for replacement in 2018. As DPW Director John Zang explains in the attached memo, the purchase of a gator from Bader & Sons is proposed through the MiDeal program at a cost of $12,292. The MiDeal program allows municipalities to utilize state contracts which were competitively bid for the purchase equipment. The MiDeal program has proved to provide the best price and the replacement purchase is recommended. Recommended Motion: Move to approve the purchase of a John Deere gator in the amount of $12,292 from Bader & Sons.

c. Breathing Air Compressor The attached memo from Fire Chief Rick Beltinck recommends the purchase of a breathing air compressor from Douglas Safety Systems at a cost of $49,536. As the memo indicates, this is the lowest qualified bidder when looking at the five-year warranty on the compressor block. Tribal 2% funds were received during the fall 2017 distribution for this purchase.

Page 33: Regular Meeting of the City Commission Monday, February 12 ... · all interested persons may attend and participate.persons with disabilities who need assistance to participate may

Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the purchase of a breather air compressor unit from Douglass Safety at a cost of $49,536.

d. Street Sweepings Disposal

The attached memo from DPW Director John Zang recommends a contract with the sole responder, Fisher Transportation Company, for the disposal service of street sweepings collected throughout the year. Recommended Motion: Move to award a contract to Fisher Transportation for street sweepings disposal in the amount of $19.67/ton for 2018.

e. Patrol Vehicles

The attached recommendation from Police Captain Andy Latham is for the purchase of two patrol vehicles. When our 2% local preference from the purchasing policy is applied, the recommended vendor is Krapohl Ford at a price of $33,435 per vehicle. The two replacement vehicles were planned for in the 2018 approved budget and each have approximately 100,000 miles on them. Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the purchase of two police patrol vehicles from Krapohl Ford at $33,435 each.

MEMO TO: Nancy Ridley, City Manager

FROM: Steve Hofer, Recreation Coordinator DATE: January 23, 2018 SUBJECT: Island Park/Pickens Repair and Reconditioning

CC: Bill Mrdeza, Mary Ann Kornexl Request: To repair 2017 flood damage, the City Commission is requested to authorize award of the contract for “Island Park/Pickens Field Infield Repair and Reconditioning” to Turf Services, Inc. of Spring Lake, MI for a total bid price of $69,705. Reason for Purchase: Island Park and Pickens’ fields combine for five (5) fields that are used for girls’ fast pitch softball, little league baseball and City recreation programs. All five fields were significantly damaged and contaminated with river residue during the flood of 2017. Infield material from all fields experienced a loss and settling of the grounds occurred following the flood creating unsafe playing conditions. Work on this project will include removal, replacement and repair of material, resetting of bases, rubbers and boxes, and laser grading to provide effective surface drainage of fields. Field work at Island Park comes in at a higher cost than Pickens due to the number of fields, quality of infield material and standard of care. Island Park fields are used extensively on an annual basis by the Recreation Department for recreation programing and our local association, Mt. Pleasant Girls’ Fast Pitch. In addition to community use, Island Park is a destination for tournaments including the USA Softball of Michigan State Tournament, USA Softball National Tournaments, and Mt. Pleasant Drillers Softball Tournaments. To continue to meet the demand of the community and remain a tournament destination, repair and reconditioning is essential. Funds for this work are proposed to come from state grant funding. Process: On January 9, 2018 bids were received from five contractors as outlined below:

Turf Services Inc., of Spring Lake, MI was the low bidder. The Parks Department has worked with Turf Services Inc., in 2014 and has no concerns about them completing this project successfully. Work is set to begin mid-late April and be completed by mid-late May, weather dependent. Recommendation: Staff recommends the City Commission authorize award of the contract for “Island Park/Pickens Field Infield Repair and Reconditioning” to Turf Services, Inc. of Spring Lake, MI for a bid price total amount of $69,705.

To: Nancy Ridley. City Manager January 26, 2018 From: John Zang, DPW Director Subject: John Deere Utility Vehicle Purchase

Purchase\Contract Recommendation Summary

Request: The City Commission is requested to approve the purchase of a John Deere utility vehicle through the MiDeal Purchasing Program from Bader & Sons Company for $12,291.63.

Reason for Purchase: MiDeal is an extended purchasing program that allows Michigan local units of government to use state contracts to buy equipment, goods and services. Local governments benefit directly from the reduced cost of equipment, goods and services.

Unit 455, a 2013 John Deere Gator TX, is scheduled for replacement this year. This unit is used by the Parks Department for various activities. They are recommending replacing the existing TX model with a heavier duty model, the HPX615E 4x4. The HPX615E has a sturdier suspension, more horsepower, and a greater towing capacity than the current TX model. They also recommend the purchase of a high visibility LED lighting system and a higher capacity alternator. The new lighting system will provide better visibility and increased safety for staff, but requires a higher capacity alternator to operate. The 4x4 model will allow staff to haul heavier items than capable with the TX, such as the water wagons used to water the plants and flowers, and trail system maintenance. While the cost for the HPX model is approximately $1,500 higher than the TX, the total price of the unit, including the LED lighting and alternator, is under the budgeted amount of $12,800.

Vendor Name and Address: Method of Purchase: Bader & Sons Company Direct Bill 1365 E Monroe Road St Louis, MI 48880

Reason for Selection: MI Deal – State Contract Price Contract: 071B7700085– Agricultural, Grounds and Roadside Equipment

Recommendation: I recommend the City Commission approve the purchase of a John Deere Gator HPX615E from Bader & Sons for $12,291.63. Funds have been budgeted in the Motor Pool budget.

MEMORANDUM DATE: January 23, 2018 TO: Nancy Ridley, City Manager FROM: Rick Beltinck, Fire Chief SUBJECT: Breathing Air Compressor Bid Summary Our Mako breathing air compressor and its components were purchased in 1995 and needs to be replaced. This breathing air compressor is used to fill the bottles of our self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) packs that are worn by our firefighters with clean breathing air. As a company, Mako was sold and has since discontinued making some of the parts for our current compressor and its components. This will make future repairs to our existing compressor difficult. This is a summary of the bids that were received for the replacement of the compressor and its components (includes installation):

VENDOR BRAND WARRANTY PRICE Five Alarm Co. Artic Air 1 Year Standard $38,995

West Shore Fire Mako Air 2 Year Standard $49,102 Douglas Safety Bauer Unicuss Air 3 Year Standard $49,536

R & R Fire Truck Stallion Air 2 Year Standard $50,303 Premier Safety Scott Air Did Not Respond $54,372

The bids from Five Alarm (low bid) and Premier Safety (high bid) did not meet all of the bid specifications that were required. The lowest bid that meets all of the requirements is West Shore Fire. However, I am recommending that the bid be awarded to Douglas Safety Services for $49,536. This bid meets all the requirements, has the longest service intervals of any manufacturer and a longer standard warranty by one (1) year. In addition, Douglas Safety has a five (5) year standard warranty on the compressor block that no other bidder provided without additional costs. West Shore’s price to include a five (5) warranty was and additional $900 bringing their total bid $50,002. The Fire Department received two-percent funds in the amount of $52,000 to cover the cost of this purchase. These funds are allocated in the 2018 Fire Department Budget. If you have any questions or require additional information please let me know. Thanks.

MEMORANDUM DATE: February 6, 2018 TO: Director Paul Lauria FROM: Captain Andy Latham SUBJECT: Patrol Vehicle Bid Summary Bid documents were sent and advertised for the purchase of two (2) replacement patrol vehicles for 2018. The following is a summary of the bids that were received. This summary represents the cost for two (2) 2018 Ford Police Interceptor Utility Vehicle for use by our road patrol. These bids include some pre-wiring, emergency light setup, and pre-drilled holes for other accessories. Having this done by Ford at the time of ordering, keeps the vehicle warranty intact when the vehicles are later up-fitted with other necessary equipment and accessories. The breakdown is as follows:

Signature Ford Lansing, MI $ 65,970 Krapohl Ford Mt. Pleasant, MI $ 66,870

Navarre Ford Alma, MI $ 67,782 All of the bids met the specifications that were outlined. Signature Ford was the low bidder. However, when the 2% local preference is calculated, Krapohl Ford bid can be $1,319.40 above the low bid. Krapohl Ford bid falls within this margin by $ 419.40. I am recommending that the City Commission approve the purchase of two (2) 2018 Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles from Krapohl Ford for the price of $ 66,870. Funds for these vehicles are in the 2018 Police Patrol Budget.

COMMISSION LETTER #024-18 MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 12, 2018

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION FEBRUARY 7, 2018

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDER AMENDMENT TO SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING

APPARATUS BOTTLE REPLACEMENT PURCHASE During the January 22, 2018 City Commission meeting when the purchase for self-contained breathing apparatus bottles was recommended, we indicated the possibility of some price reductions. These price reductions would occur as a result of the number of orders coming from Isabella County. When Fire Chief Rick Beltinck met with the vendor on the price reduction, the vendor indicated a willingness to provide carbon fiber bottles instead of aluminum bottles for the same price due to inventory availability. For the reasons outlined in Mr. Beltinck’s memo, we are recommending the contract be amended to allow for the purchase of the carbon fiber bottles instead of the aluminum bottles in the amount of $19,360. Recommended motion: Move to approve the amended award to Douglas Safety Systems for 44 carbon fiber bottles at a price of $19,360. NJR/ap

DATE: January 29, 2018 TO: Nancy Ridley, City Manager FROM: Rick Beltinck, Fire Chief SUBJECT: Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus Bottle Replacement At the January 22, 2018 City Commission Meeting, we received the approval to purchase forty-four (44) aluminum Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA’s) bottles in an amount not to exceed $20,460 from Douglas Safety Systems. This recommendation was made based on the aluminum bottles being compatible with our current SCBA packs, not having an expiration date and being within the budget that was submitted by me during the Capital Improvement Plan process. I also took into consideration, that we are scheduled to replace our SCBA’s (including bottles) in 2020. This consideration becomes important because any bottle that is purchased may not be compatible with the higher pressure packs that are scheduled to be purchased in 2020. The most cost effective way to get us to that time was the recommendation to purchase aluminum bottles. At the time of ordering, I was advised that since we were able to consolidate our SCBA bottle needs with other departments within Isabella County, we received more competitive pricing. This reduced pricing would allow us to purchase the carbon fiber bottles for less than the $20,460 that has been approved for the aluminum bottles. I was also told that the retail value for carbon fiber bottles is considerably better than aluminum because they are more desirable and a lighter weight bottle. This becomes important when our SCBA’s are replaced and the bottles may no longer be compatible with the new higher pressure system and we will obtain a higher re-sale value if we must re-sell them. It is recommended that the approval from the January 22nd meeting be amended to award the purchase of forty-four (44) carbon fiber bottles (instead of aluminum) in the amount of $19,360. Please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information.

COMMISSION LETTER #025-18 MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 12, 2018

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION FEBRUARY 7, 2018

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROPRIATE RESOLUTIONS AND CONTRACTS FOR TREE

REMOVAL AND PRECISION APPROACH PATH INDICATOR (PAPI) LIGHTING AT THE AIRPORT

As the City Commission is aware, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) required changes to the approach slope at the airport in preparation for the installation of Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) lighting upgrades on the runway. Now that the easements have been obtained, our next steps as outlined by DPW Director John Zang in the attached memo, require City Commission approval of the items below in order to complete the remainder of the project. The Airport Advisory Board will be discussing this project at their meeting on February 8 and we will inform you of any comments or concerns they might have. Item A: Resolution and Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Contract This is the standard contract between the City and the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Aeronautics Division to approve the appropriate funding and approvals for the tree abatement and lighting project. Recommended motion: Move to approve the resolution and authorize the Mayor to sign the contract with MDOT for the tree abatement and precision approach path indicator (PAPI) lighting project. Item B: Contract with J. Ranck Electric and Change Order MDOT staff along with Mead and Hunt conducted a bid process for the airport tree abatement and PAPI lighting installation. The sole bid responder was J. Ranck Electric of Mt. Pleasant for $742,995. MDOT and Mead and Hunt are recommending award of the contract to the sole bidder. Because the scope of work exceeded the funds available, MDOT and Mead and Hunt have negotiated changes to the scope of work based on current FAA regulations and how the easements were negotiated. This change in scope results in a change order to reduce the project cost by $224,205. As with most airport capital projects, 95% of this cost is covered by federal and state funds.

Page 42: Regular Meeting of the City Commission Monday, February 12 ... · all interested persons may attend and participate.persons with disabilities who need assistance to participate may

It is recommended the Mayor authorize the approval of the contract and change order with J. Ranck Electric as recommended by MDOT and Mead and Hunt. Recommended motion: Move to authorize the Mayor to sign a contract with J. Ranck Electric for $742,992 and a change order, reducing the price by $224,205. Item C: Mead and Hunt Contract Amendment This contract is for the appropriate consulting oversight services by Mead and Hunt for the tree abatement and PAPI lighting projects. It is recommended the Mayor sign the contract amendment for this work of which 95% is covered by federal and state funds. Recommended motion: Move to authorize the Mayor to sign a contract with Mead and Hunt for $25,149. Item D: The Purchase of FAA approved lights for the PAPI Lighting Project The FAA approved lights for the PAPI Lighting Project are from a single source in Michigan and the quoted price is $25,188. It is recommended the City Commission approve the sole source order of the appropriate lights for ADB Safegate and 95% of the cost will be covered by federal and state funds. Recommended motion: Move to approve the purchase of PAPI lights from ADB Safegate in the amount of $25,188. Item E: Budget Amendment Due to all of the changes in the scope of project and the amount of grant funds available, it is recommended the City Commission approve the appropriate budget amendments. The net result of all of the changes results in a net cost increase to the City in the amount of $4,414. Recommended motion: Move to authorize the Finance Director to implement the appropriate budget amendments for the above contracts. NJR/ap

To: Nancy Ridley, City Manager January 26, 2018 From: John Zang, DPW Director Subject: Approve Resolution, Change Order, Contract Amendment, and Purchase of PAPI

Lights, and Authorize Execution of Contract Documents

Purchase\Contract Recommendation Summary

Request: The City Commission is requested to approve the following items for the PAPI lighting purchase and installation, and tree abatement projects at the Mt. Pleasant Municipal Airport, and authorize the mayor to sign the related contract documents.

A. Resolution and Execution of MDOT Contract No. 2018-0240 The purpose of the MDOT (sponsor) contract is to establish the scope and scale of the tree abatement and PAPI lighting projects and authorize the contractors to proceed with the work. Previously approved MDOT contracts addressed the purchase of the easements necessary to remove trees, and receive reimbursement of monies spent to obtain those easements. MDOT requires approval of a resolution authorizing the mayor to sign the sponsor contract.

B. J. Ranck Contract and Change Order 1. MDOT awarded the tree abatement and PAPI lighting installation project to

J. Ranck Electric of Mt. Pleasant for $742,992.45. 2. The change order reduces the scope of the project by removing the planned

runway 9-27 re-designation to runway 10-28, and the overall project cost by $224,205.09. This change order also makes the necessary changes to allow the contractor to grind the stumps in the clearing areas in lieu of grubbing. The FAA does not require the runway re-designation changes at this time, and the grinding matches the commitments made in the easements, thereby bringing the project more in line with available funding.

The mayor must sign the contract and change order.

C. Mead and Hunt Contract Amendment A contract was previously approved for easement purchases, and the following amends the contract by $25,148.83. The purpose of the amendment is to establish a scope of services and fees for the construction administration services associated with the PAPI lighting and tree abatement projects. These services include the following for both projects:

1. Conduct a preconstruction conference with the required parties; 2. Engineering surveying and layout; 3. Material testing and shop drawings; 4. Field testing and grade inspections; 5. Pay estimates and change orders; 6. Weekly reports; 7. Final inspection and report; 8. Provide as-built construction plans

The mayor must sign the contract amendment.

D. Purchase of LED PAPI Lights from Single Source Supplier

The City will purchase LED PAPI lights from an FAA-approved single source supplier for $25,188.28. The installation cost is included in the contract submitted by J. Ranck.

E. Budget Amendment The Commission is requested to approve the appropriate budget amendment for additional revenue and expense, which results in a net increase to the City of $4,414.

Recommendation I recommend the City Commission approve the resolution, execute the contracts with MDOT and J. Ranck Electric, approve and execute the change order submitted by J. Ranck Electric, approve and execute the contract amendment submitted by Mead and Hunt, approve the purchase of PAPI lights from an FAA-approved single source supplier, and approve the appropriate budget amendment.
