Reject Bids for A~hling Meadows 2~a Addition Utility Extension-
Project No. 02-07A
REQUESTED ACTION
The City Council is requested to reject and release the bids for the public utility
extension of A_shling Meadows 2na Addition.
BACKGROUND
In March 2001 the City received a petition from Randy Noecker, the developer of
the property to the east of Ashling Meadows, for the extension of utilities to serve
his property.
On March 26, 2001 the City Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility
study for the extension of utilities through A_~hling Meadows 2"d Addition.
On September 9, 2002 the City Council approved the feasibility study and ordered
a project for the extension of utilities through A~hling Meadows 2~a Addition-
On January 13, 2003 the City Council approved the plans and specifications and
authorized the advertisement of bids for the project.
DISCUSSION
This project was intended to provide sanitary sewer to the lake Lucy Ridge
development which is just east of A.qhling Meadows. ln~ead of waiting for the
second phase of A~hling Meadows to develop, the developer of Lake Lucy Ridge,
Mr. Randy Noecker, petitioned the City t.o install the improvements. Mr. Noecker.
did not know when A~qhling Meadows 2na Addition would be developed and he
did not want to wait with his project to find out.
The City has now received a final plat submittal for the private development of
Ashling Meadows 2~ Addition from Lundgren Bros. Construction (scheduled for
the March 24th City Council meeting). Since the City has not yet awarded the
public project to the low bidder, it is still possible to reject all of the bids and
cancel the project. Mr. Noecker is aware of this and, as such, has asked the City
to cancel the project. Mr. Noecker has reimbursed the City for all project costs to
date.
The City of Chanhauen ,, A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a channing downtown, t~rivino businesses, winding trolls, and beauUful parks. A gmat place to live, wod(, and play.
