REQUESTS AND REFERRALS:
Request to Refer Proposed Amendment to Chapter 36 of the Grand Island City Code Relative to
Vehicle Sales and Rental Businesses to the Regional Planning Commission. City Attorney
Charlie Cuypers, reported that the City had previous considered whether to require certain
minimum improvements for all vehicle sales and rental lots and in 1999 required all new lots to
have hard surfaced storage and display areas. Since then there had been several car lots started
which have been the subject of complaints concerning whether the premises were suited for this
type of use based on appearance, lack of space, storage of used tires, batteries, oil, etc. Dealing
with complaints about car lots had become a continual, if not continuous problem for the
building department, police department, public works and code compliance office. City staff
requested the Mayor and City Council revisit the issue of requiring minimum improvements for
car lots. The first step was to refer the matter to the Regional Planning Commission for a public
hearing and recommendation.
Councilmember Pielstick mentioned the used car lots in her neighborhood and the problems that
existed. Councilmember Murray questioned how many car lots currently comply with this
Page 6, City Council Regular Meeting, September 24, 2002
change. City Attorney Charlie Cuypers stated approximately ½ of the almost 100 car lots have
store front and about 10 had hard surfaced lots. Councilmember Larson questions what would
happen if they did not comply. Mr. Cuypers stated they would get a letter and then ultimately the
case would be filed in the District Court to obtain an injunction.
The following people spoke in opposition: Randy Rapien, 226 lakeside Drive, Mert Niedfelt,
4934 Fort Kearney Road, Carl Mettenbrink, 2200 East One-R Road, Roger Roscoe, 3114 West
15th Street, Allen Doudna, 524 West 8th Street #4, and Lloyd Soukop, 701 West 4th Street.
Motion was made by Pielstick, second by Whitesides to approve this request. Upon roll call vote,
Councilmembers Pielstick, Larson, Hornady, Whitesides, Haase, Walker and Murray voted yes.
Councilmember Sorensen voted no. Motion was adopted.
RESOLUTIONS:
#2002-299 –Approving Adoption of the 2002 Edition to the Grand Island City Code. City
Attorney Charlie Cuypers, reported that the City Code was reissued as a new edition periodically
in order to clean up references to amendments, deleting old numbers, and generally updating the
work available to the public. The last edition was adopted in 1995 and because the City Code
was now available on the internet, it was prudent to approve and adopt the City Code as the 2002

a substantial amount of accumulated, unnecessary, amendment references would be eliminated.
It was recommended adoptio n of a new edition every year or two.
Motion was made by Larson, second by Hornady, carried unanimously to approve.
PAYMENT OF CLAIMS:
Motion by Whitesides, second by Hornady, carried unanimously to approve the Claims for the

#2002-300 - Approving Acquisition of Utility Easement - 1010
North Diers Avenue - Concord Development
Background:
Nebraska State Law requires that acquisition of property must be approved by City Council.
The Utilities Department needs to acquire an easement relative to property of Concord
Development, located at 1010 North Diers Avenue, by West Gate Center Mall (Lot 4, Crane
Valley Fourth Subdivision), in order to have access to install, upgrade, maintain, and repair
power appurtenances, including lines and transformers.
This easement will be used to place underground power cables, pad mounted switchgear and
transformers to serve lots three (3) and four (4) with electricity. The existing easement is
used as the drive into the strip mall so an additional easement is needed for utilities.
Recommendation:
Approve the request to obtain the needed easement.
Fiscal Effects:
One dollar ($1.00) for the easement will be paid to the grantor.
Alternatives:
As suggested by City Council. See attached RESOLUTION.

Item G24
#2002-315 - Approving Change Order #1 for General Work
Contract - Burdick Station GT-2 and GT-3 Combustion Turbine
Project - Utilities Department
Background:
In the design and construction of a project of this magnitude and complexity, the
construction and design processes run concurrently, one phase building upon another as
information from successful bidders becomes available. For example, foundation design is
dependent on loading information received from successful equipment bidders. But
transformer specifications are not finalized until all information is received from the
generator supplier, which can be several months. At the same time construction must begin
on generator foundations in order to be able to receive those units. Rather than wait for all
detailed vendor information, the General Construction Contract is prepared and awarded
early in the process with anticipated additional work allowance of 5 - 10% in the project
budget. The alternative would be to wait for all detailed information before contract award,
which would add many months to the project, require extended storage of large equipment,
and double handling.
Discussion:
The Industrial Company (TIC) was awarded the construction contract in December of 2001
in the amount of $10,997,615. That contract includes the erection of the combustion
turbines, foundations, piping systems, electrical duct banks, area drainage, transformers,
circuit breakers, substation modifications, fire protection, fuel oil and natural gas systems,
controls systems, pollution control systems, roads and buildings; essentially the entire project.
Since construction began there have been numerous additions and changes as system and
sub-system specific information has become available and engineering design finalized.
Proposed Change Order No. 1 to the General Construction Contract covers additions and
changes since initial construction. The total Change Order amount is $705,382.43. Of that
amount, $197,558.43 is back charged to equipment suppliers (primarily GE) for changes or
additions to their equipment. The actual Change Order cost to the Utilities Department is
$507,824, 4.6% of the original General Work Contract price, 1% of total project cost. Each
change has been reviewed and negotiated by our engineering consultants, Sargent and
Lundy, and Utilities Department Staff.
Recommendation:
It is the recommendation of the Utilities Department that Change Order No. 1 to the General
Work Contract be approved in the amount of $705,382.43. A listing of each of the items
Tuesday, October 08, 2002

Fiscal Effects:
Expenditure of $705,382.43 from Electric Fund 520, with back charge of $197,558.43 to
other contractors. There are sufficient funds available. The Project remains within original
cost projections.
Alternatives:
None recommended. See attached RESOLUTION.

#2002-316 - Approving Bid Award for Boom Truck and Crane
Background:
Specifications were prepared and advertised in accordance with the City purchasing
procedures for a boom truck and crane. Specifications were also mailed to potential bidders.
Bids were publicly opened on September 12, 2002. Two bids were received.
The truck and crane were bid as a unit to assure the truck would be compatible with the
crane that will be mounted. Both bidders contacted local and area truck dealers for pricing.
Teague bid a truck from Hansen International of Grand Island. National bid a truck from
an Omaha dealer.
Discussion:
The specifications included an optional price for a personnel platform. At present, the
utility's line construction equipment cannot reach to the top of some of the taller 115kV
transmission line towers. This unit, which is used to lift and set large pad mounted
transformers, has a longer boom, so a platform option was requested with the bid. But
because the bids came in above the engineer's estimate of $200,000, this option was deleted
from the bids.
The bid from Teague Equipment included a chassis acquisition fee of $1,826.00. This fee
may be waived if the truck chassis is purchased directly from Hansen International and
"drop shipped" to the crane manufacturing plant. The truck chassis is a Diamond SPEC
International.
Both bidders meet the specifications without major exceptions. Bid tabulation is as follows:
Boom Truck & Crane - Manufacturer & Model: Teague Equipment Company/Terex Stinger
60200. Total Bid: $207,209.00. Personnel Platform Option: -$6,745.00. Drop Ship Option: -
$1,826.00. Evaluated Total: $198,638.00. National Crane/National Series 1100. Total Bid:
$258,858.00. Personnel Platform Option: -$17,030.00. Evaluated Total: $241,828.00.
Recommendation:
It is the recommendation of the Utilities Department that the award be made to the low
bidder, Teague Equipment of Denver, Colorado , with the truck chassis purchased directly
from Hansen International of Grand Island, Nebraska. The costs would be $107,342.00 to
Teague Equipment and $91,296 to Hansen International for a total award of $198,638.00,
which is less than the engineer's estimate of $200,000.00.

#2002-318 - Approving Bid Award for Security Gates for Burdick
Station and Platte Generating Station - Utilities Department
Background:
Due to heightened security concerns, the Utilities Department erected fencing at its power
plants. Specifications were then developed by our consultants, Olsson Associates, for the
security gates at both Burdick and Platte Generating Stations. The specifications were
advertised and bids received in accordance with City purchasing procedures.
Discussion:
Specifications were sent to potential bidders, with three responses being received. A bid from
Heartland Electric Company was incomplete and was not considered in the evaluation
process. The remaining two bids were compliant with the specifications. Neither included
sales tax. The engineer’s estimate for this project was $125,000.00.
Hurricane Fence Company, Grand Island, N $87,401.15
American Fence Company, Grand Island, N $86,649.40
Recommendation:
Olsson Associates and our department engineering staff reviewed the bids for compliance
with the City’s detailed specifications. The bid from American Fence Company meets all the
requirements of the technical specification with no exceptions. It is the recommendation of
the Utilities Department that American Fence Company from Grand Island, NE be awarded
the contract for this work in the amount of $86,649.40.
Fiscal Effects:
Expenditure of $86,649.40 from Enterprise Fund 520, plus the payment of applicable sales
tax.
Alternatives:
Award the project to the next lowest bidder, Hurricane Fence Company. See attached

#2002-319 - Approving Bid Award for RFP for Engineering
Services for Circuit Breaker Replacement
Background:
Most of the Electric Department's oil circuit breakers are at least 30 years old. Since the
circuit breakers were first installed, the City's electric demand has tripled. With the
expansion required to satisfy the increased demand, in both City facilities and the regional
grid, many circuit breakers are now or will shortly be undersized.
The '02-'03 Electric Budget includes $4,600,000 to replace all but two of the existing oil
circuit breakers. The Electric Department lacks staff to design and implement a major
upgrade project of this magnitude. Therefore, a request for proposals to provide engineering
services for the breaker replacement project was developed and issued.
Discussion:
Engineering services were estimated to cost between $500,000 (based on percentage of
estimated completed project value) and $250,000 (based on an estimate of the actual
engineering effort and time required for the engineering work). Requests for Proposals were
mailed to prospective engineering firms and advertised in The Grand Island Independent.
Proposals from four firms were received:
HDR, Inc., - Omaha, N (HDR) $98,000
P & E Engineering Co., - Carlisle, I (P&E) $193,500
DeWild, Grant, Reckert & Assoc. Co., - Rock Rapids, Iow (DGR) $250,000
Lutz, Daily, and Brain - Overland Park, K (LD&B) $384,200
Firm prices ranged from $98,500 to $384,200. The $98,500 proposal contained several
exclusions. Of the next low bidders, P&E offered a "not to exceed" price of $193,500, based
on hourly rates. DGR offered a firm price of $250,000 with milestone based progress
payments.
Proposals were independently evaluated by Jeff Mead, Sr. Power Dispatcher and Burhl
Gilpin, Assistant Utility Director, Electrical. DGR and P&E submitted the superior
proposals, scoring well in both evaluations. P&E had a lower firm price but DGR was more
responsive to the specifics of the project and had more relevant experience. DGR was
selected for further investigation.
Jeff Mead contacted five reference. All references had very positive comments. Areas of
interest were: (1) success on similar projects, (2) satisfaction with engineer's personnel, and
(3) compliance with contractual costs.
Tuesday, October 08, 2002
Council Session
City of Grand Island
City of Grand Island City Council
Recommendation:
DeWild, Grant, Reckert & Associates Company presented the most responsive proposal, at a
competitive firm price. A reference check supported the findings of the evaluation. It is
recommended that DGR be hired to perform Engineering Services for Circuit Breaker
Replacement for a firm price of $250,000.
Fiscal Effects:
The total breaker replacement project may cost over $5,000,000. During FY 2002-03,
$4,600,000 is budgeted; with additional expenditures anticipated in FY 2003-04. Funds are
available and budgeted in Electric Enterprise Fund 520.
Alternatives:
Award the Engineering Services Contract to P&E Engineering. See attached RESOLUTION.

#2002-320 - Approving Bid Award for Skid Steer Loader - Utility
Underground Division
Background:
Specifications were prepared and advertised in accordance with City purchasing procedures
for a skid steer loader for the Electric Underground Division. Specifications were also
mailed to five local potential bidders. Bids were publicly opened at 11:00 a.m. on September
30, 2002. Two bids were received.
Bidder: Central Nebraska Bobcat - Bobcat 5185 - Exceptions: None - Bid not Including Tax
$34,650.00. Bidder: Fairbanks Grand Island - New Holland LS170 - Exceptions: Yes - Bid
not Including Tax $39,127.00.
Discussion:
Central Nebraska Bobcat did not take any exceptions to the specifications. Fairbanks Grand
Island took some exceptions; the engine horsepower rating, tipping load, automatic bucket
leveling, and automatic parking brake. The exceptions are relatively minor when
considering the total piece of equipment, therefore either bidder is acceptable to the
department.
Recommendation:
It is the recommendation of the Utilities Department that the award be made to the low
bidder, Central Nebraska Bobcat of Grand Island, NE. The low bid is $34,650.00, which is
less than the engineers estimate of $35,000.00. With the new tax rate, the total cost will be
$36,902.25.
Fiscal Effects:
Expenditure of $36,902.25 from Electric Fund 520. Sufficient funds are available.

Award to the higher bidder. See attached RESOLUTION.

#2002-323 - Approving Resolution Directing Staff to Require
Installation of Public Sidewalks by Fall 2003
Council action is required to authorize staff to contact property owners regarding the
installation of sidewalks. At the August 20, 2002 Council Study Session, the Sidewalk
Committee reviewed the sidewalk maps and identified areas where they believe Council
should order sidewalks installed before school starts in Fall 2003. Staff reviewed all of the
proposed areas and believe that it is possible to install sidewalks in each area. Staff will work
individually with property owners on details. Fill material will be provided where needed at
city cost. Some tree and bush trimming or removal may be needed. The Committee
discussed the possibility of installing sidewalk on one side of each street, but the Committee
feels property owners on both sides of a street should be required to install sidewalk, as long
as the installation is possible without major conflicts such as drainage ditches.
Three areas have been added to the list discussed at the August 20 meeting. A complete
listing is attached. It is recommended that Council approve a Resolution authorizing staff to
give the property owners notice to install sidewalks in the areas identified by the time school
resumes in the Fall 2003. Minor costs may be incurred for fill material.

#2002-324 - Approving Agricultural Deferral of Assessments in
Sanitary Sewer District 500.
City Council action is required to approve deferral of special assessments. The City Council
created Sanitary Sewer District 500 on May 22, 2001. Midland Ag Service, Inc. is the owner
of record of agricultural land within the District. The owners have requested that an
agricultural use deferral be granted to them for assessments from Sanitary Sewer District
500. The real estate is located within an agricultural use zone and is used exclusively for
agricultural purposes. It is recommended that Council approve the request for deferral of
special assessments. During the time of the deferral, no principal payments would come due,
and no interest would accrue on the assessment. Assessment payments would begin when the
property is developed or no longer eligible for an agricultural use deferral.

#2002-325 - Approving Authorization for County Treasurer to Re-
sell City Owned Property Acquired Through Sheriff's Deed
In fiscal year 2000-2001 the Code Compliance Office obtained a court order authorizing
demolition of a dilapidated, abandoned house at the intersection of Oak and 6th Streets.
Subsequently the costs of demolition were taxed to the property and the now vacant lot was
sold at Sheriff's sale. Because there was about $6,000 in property taxes owed on the property,
there were no interested buyers and the City ended up with the property for a bid of $100.00,
not enough to pay much more than the advertising costs on the sale. There is a procedure
found in Neb. Rev. Stat. Sections 77-2801 et seq for requesting that the County Treasurer
offer the property for sale at auction and requiring the taxes, special assessment, and other
charges in excess of the sale proceeds to be written off. Because the delinquent taxes far
exceed the actual value of the lot in question (approximately $3,000-4,000), it is
recommended that the City follow this procedure in order to get the property back in the
hands of a private owner and on the tax rolls. The City, County and other political
subdivisions will lose the previously levied taxes, but that is what will occur anyway given the
value of the land and the amount of accrued taxes. The principal reason to proceed with this
process is to get the land in private ownership now rather than 3-5 years if the property if sold
using a tax sale certificate. Approval is recommended.

#2002-327 - Approving Interlocal Agreement for Statewide
Wireless Communication Network
The Nebraska Legislature made it possible to establish a statewide wireless communications
system by the passage of LB1211. The system is being established by means of constructing a
wireless backbone that is accessible by state agencies, cities, counties, public power and
irrigation districts, fire districts and other political subdivisions. In order to create the
system, two interlocal cooperation agreements have been drafted. The first, known as the
Statewide Communications Alliance of Nebraska Interlocal Agreement, includes as
participants The State of Nebraska, Board of Regents, and the various local entities and
public power districts listed above. The Alliance would be the operator of the system. The
second, known as the Public Safety Communications Agency of Nebraska Interlocal
Agreement, would include the same entities as the Alliance with the exception of the state
and its agencies. The Agency would be the financing entity for the system. The state and its
agencies would not be participants in the Agency due to the constitutional prohibition against
the State of Nebraska incurring debt.
The proposed system would allow its participants to continue to own and operate their
systems, but the backbone would make it possible to communicate between systems statewide
via wireless facilities statewide. Approval is recommended.
