Phelps Mill Foundation Repair Project Bid Award
Parks and Trails Director Kevin Fellbaum informed the Board that no bids were received for the Phelps Mill Foundation repair
project. Several contractors were contacted but not much interest was received, primarily due to time line and risk. Mr. Fellbaum
plans to meet with a firm on December 2, 2021, to discuss potential timelines and requested the Board to authorize him to
move forward with options that are available to him to keep the project moving forward.
Motion by Johnson, second by Murphy and unanimously carried to authorize the Parks and Trails Director to rebid or utilize
best value alternative, as allowed by statute, for the Phelps Mill Foundation repair project. The motion included flexibility for
Mr. Fellbaum to adjust timelines as needed , recognizing the summer months are a concern regarding safety due to the high
volume of traffic through the park.
