Council Minutes 9/12/2006 (163) 174 December 23, 1994 CITY OF AMMON December 23, 1994 Minutes of the Special Meeting of the Mayor and City Council: The meeting was called to Street, Ammon, Idaho, by present: Mayor C. Bruce Ard Councilman Harvey Crandall Councilman Steven J. Loveland Councilman Greg J. Maeser order at 10:36 A.M. at the City Building, 3270 Molen Mayor C. Bruce Ard with the following City Officials Engineer David E. Benton Public Works Director David City Clerk Aleen C. Jensen Wadsworth Others Present: Carl Holcombe, Post Register reporter I Absent: Councilman Ira K. Hall Attorney W. Joe Anderson Mayor Ard explained the purpose of the meeting was to discuss architects for design and construction of a City Building for the City of Ammon. On Tuesday, December 20, 1994, Mayor Ard and Councilman Crandall talked to K. W. Prestwich of Prestwich Architects, Dale C. Petty and John D. Dixon of Dixon-Petty Associates, and Scott Nielson and Kevin Bodily of Call, Nielson, Bodily and Associates. Council members met earlier in December with Lee Dille of Ratzlaff Architects. The Council reviewed the discussions with each of the architects. All of the firms expressed an interest in working with the City of Ammon, and it was determined that each of them is capable of doing a good job for the City. Prestwich estimated a building would cost $65 per square foot to build, and he did not indicate a time frame. Dixon and Petty were hesitant to meet a time frame for a February bid. Dille of Ratzlaff was very cooperative and helpful, but the Council expressed concern that his office is in Pocatello. Nielson and Bodily were positive on costs, believed the time frame to be reasonable, and seemed ready to go right to work. The Mayor and Council members each have full time jobs to earn a living, so construction management is important in making a selection. Councilman Loveland explained that ordinarily the architect is responsible tomake sure the building is put together according to specs. The general contractor is responsible for coordinating on site construction. Other important concerns were functional design to blend with the neighborhood, cost control, and timing. I Councilman Maeser moved that as a City we choose Call, Nielson, Bodily and Associates as the architects for the new City Building and the second choice is Ratzlaff Associates. The motion is contingent on an acceptable contract price being worked out, and the firm should be contacted immediately to advise they have been selected so they can begin work. The motion was seconded by Councilman Crandall. Roll call vote: Maeser - Yes; Crandall - Yes; Loveland - Yes. The motion carried. Councilman Maeser moved to adj ourn the meeting, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Crandall. The meeting was adjourned at 11:02 A.M.
