We did the bid openings on August the 45 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:57,680 20th. We did receive four bids. You can see on page 54 of your packet all four 46 00:03:54,319 --> 00:04:02,599 bids that are listed there. The low bid is time construction at $465,474. 47 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:13,360 I will remind everybody this is a MODOT cap project. That means that uh MODOT 48 00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:18,079 pays 80% of the total cost of the project. And so even though we are going 49 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:25,440 to pay 465 uh 474 will get reimbured for a minimum 50 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:30,400 of 80% of the project. Um, Kines comes very highly recommended. You can't even 51 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:36,080 get on a Monot TAP project unless you're a part of their bid system on the state 52 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:41,919 level. Um, we got a lot of positive comments back on kind. We're excited 53 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:45,759 about having them do the project. Um, and earlier today, I think I put in here 54 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:50,080 I was still waiting on approval. Earlier today, I did get out approval. So, this 55 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:57,440 has been approved by the state at that level. Um, we budgeted 550 for this. So, 56 00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:05,199 the low bid is significantly under budget. So, even though we're only uh 57 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:10,000 paying 20% of it, we're still saving 85 plus thousand out of our budget that 58 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:13,039 that we that we had put in place. So, that's a very positive and I do 59 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,560 recommend approval. I'm happy to answer any questions that you have. If I can't 60 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,039 answer them, I do have Jason here. He can answer. 61 00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:29,919 I'd like to introduce bill number 2026-32 62 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:34,160 for first and second reading by title. >> First reading, an ordinance for the city 63 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:38,479 of Sinclair authorizing the mayor to sign a contract with times contracting 64 00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:44,759 for sidewalk and stern drainage improvements on Walton and Jean Streets 65 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,759 for an amount not to exceed $465,474. 66 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:52,000 Second reading, an ordinance for the city of St. Clair authorizing the mayor 67 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,919 to sign a contract with Times Contracting for sidewalk and storm 68 00:05:54,400 --> 00:06:01,080 drainage improvements on Walton and James Streets for an amount not to 69 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,080 exceed $465,474. 70 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:12,280 » I move to approve bill number 2026-32 as read. 71 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,280 » I'll second. 72 00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:17,440 » Roll call, please.

Um, >> I took a drive around town, noticed that 89 00:07:20,479 --> 00:07:27,919 we have a few, quite a few properties, but the grass is kind of out of control. 90 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:34,560 I noticed that we had posted something on Facebook about 50 yards, people 91 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:39,919 cutting grass. Is that part of something that can handle some of that? 92 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:44,720 You remember what I'm talking about? >> So, we sometimes will post uh relevant 93 00:07:43,039 --> 00:07:47,840 information about ordinances, especially as we go into different seasons.
