City Manager Gipson reported that the proposed agenda item will be withdrawn from consideration tonight due to the vendor, Fry-Wagner Moving and Storage, revoking their bid stating that they could not sign a contract due to their internal policy. City Manager Gipson also explained that the item was proposed as an ordinance, but it was not necessary due to the project not being a public improvement. Therefore, the agreement is within the threshold of what he can approve, and he is proposing to approve the agreement administratively by selecting the second bid, A-Mrazek Moving Systems, A McCollisters Company for $12,645.00 in order for the Municipal Maintenance Facility project to stay on schedule. Matt Malick, Director of Public Works, addressed the Board to answer questions. The Board was in consensus to withdraw the agenda item from consideration and allow the City Manager to administratively approve the agreement for moving services. OTHER
