NEW BUSINESS
1. Award of Contract for Dow Towers Water Service, Ventilation and Exterior
Project (HRA2019-04)
Executive Director Stacy Unowsky explained the scope of work for the proposed project
would include water service and water heating replacement, building ventilation cleaning,
ventilation equipment replacement and exterior entrances replacement. Because bids for
the project came in 25% higher than the 2017 estimate, staff requested additional funds
from MHFA. Both the HRA and MHFA will put additional funds to complete the project.
The HRA will utilize Capital Funds and Reserves to fund our portion of the project. Two
contractors completed bids for the project. Staff recommends the contract be awarded to
AVM Construction LLC, as they were the low bidder.
Motion by Kuznia. Second by Halverson.
Motion to authorize execution of Resolution 528 and award the contract to AVM
Construction LLC for the Water Service, Ventilation and Exterior Entrances Project
at Dow Towers.
Ayes: 5. Nays: 0.
Motion carried.

There being no further business to come before the HRA and upon a motion by
Halverson, second by Hunke, the meeting was unanimously adjourned at 7:08 p.m.
