Kennedale City Council
Special Meeting - July 25, 1989
Mayor's Office - City Hall
Mayor Steve Radakovich called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m.
Members present were Steve Radakovich, Bill Abbott, Pete Kirkpatrick,
Robert Mundy and Mark Wright. Jerry Mitchell was absent.
ITEM NO. 1 - Award Bids for Project 891-WWST, Water Well, Storage
Tank, Site Improvement.
Ted Rowe informed Council that bid specifications were sent out on a
water well, a separate project for a 300,000 gallon ground storage tank,
a pump house and the necessary plumbing. Two bids were received for
contract #2 which is the tank, pump house and pump. R.R. Davidson was
the low bid at $176,833. Tank Builders, Inc. bid was for $228,199.
Cheatham is working with the Davidson Company trying to get them to
agree to extend their bid by 30 days. The reason for that is to allow
Council to go out for bids again on the well. Ted Rowe recommended no
action betaken on Contract No. 2. Both bids were valid. The reason
for delaying the bid on the water well is because only one bid was
received from J. O. Myers Company for $267,885, and an error was printed
in the Dodge Report.
Bill Abbott made a motion, to reject the water well bid from J. L. Myers
and table the contract No. 2 bids, seconded by Robert Mundy. Abbott,
Mundy and Kirkpatrick voted aye, Wright voted nay. Motion carried.
ITEM NO. 3 - General Discussion.
Ted Rowe submitted the Master Plan booklet. Several black and white
maps 30" x 40" will be available. Maps can be reduced to 20" x 30" to
be sold with the booklet and use the larger ones by the staff. A few
clerical errors are being corrected on the map.
Council discussed having a retreat to discuss the up coming budget in a
relaxed atmoshphere. Don Driver is checking the legality of holding the
retreat outside the geographic bounds, and posting the meeting.
Ted Rowe said that the federal government will not reimburse to take the
old sewer flume and make it safe from floods. Money will be available to
replace what we had but the dollar amount is unknown. It may be possible
to build it above the flood level so we won't loose it again, and will
cost very little if any more. A $16,000 bid was submitted to install $2,000 to
$3,000 worth of equipment. If the city buys the equipment, someone could
install it for approximately $5,000. It will be installed on the Arlington
side of the line.
