BACKGROUND Buildings C and D at the Minkler Shops are overdue for new roofmg materials. The old roof will be removed and new sheathing, insulation, asphalt membrane roofmg, flashing, vents and seismic connections will be installed. The George Long Shops is overdue for a new topcoat of elastomeric roofing material. The project was advertised for bids on June 13 and 20. One bid was received from Lloyd A. Lynch, Inc., for $338,856.51 and the engineer's estimate was $200,000. We are proposing to reject all bids by resolution. As discussed in the attached June 6, 2005, article in DJC.com, the recent housing boom has created an increased demand for timber. As with the cement shortage, it seems to be going hand in hand with a shortage of available contractors. RECOMMENDATION Reject all bids by resolution and continue to watch bidding climate and re-advertise when contractors have increased capacity for additional work.

I . ri!iMONEYVVill.E: June 6. 2005 800m in housing boosts timber harvest Oregollloggers cut 4.45 billion boardfeel of timber last year, the most since 1993. PORTLAND (AP) - Oregon's timber harvest jumped II percent in 2004, propelled by the red-hot U.S. housing market. Loggers cut 4 45 biHion board feet of timber, up from 4 billion board feet in 2003 and the most since 5.29 billion was cut in ] 993, according to an annual report by the Oregon Department of Forestry Small woodland owners in Westem Oregon were responsible for a big chunk of the surge, cutting 478 million board feet in 2004, compared with 298 million the year before. "The Jog market was the best since the Japanese economy tumbled several years ago," saId Dan Green, a consulting forester with Woodland Management in Lake Oswego. Green said sawmills paid 5650 to S700 per thousand board feet for second-growth Douglas fir last year, the most in six or seven years. Among Oregon counties, Lane County led the way with 569 million board feet harvested, up 19 percent from 2003, according to the state report. Douglas County was second among Oregon counties with 496 million board feet. Most of the timber harvest came from private lands, but the percentage increase was higher in national forests managed by the U.S. Forest Service. The federal lands yielded 337 million board feet, up 66 percent from 203 million in 2003 Rex Holloway, Forest Service spokesman, said part of the increase was from timber freed by the resolution of lawsuits. The Forest Service has also emphasized thinning to reduce fire risk, and there was more fire-damaged timber to salvage east of the Cascades, Holloway said. Weyerhaeuser, Longview Fibre and other industrial tree farmers recorded only a sJight increase in logging last year They cut 3 03 billion board feet, a jump of less than 3 percent from 2003 The wood from industrial land was 68 percent of Oregon's harvest. Oregon's national forests, once a major source of timber, now contribute only 8 percent to the state's timber harvest. ... AddTo mvDJC .. Add Comment ...

Maule Ave/CampbeJl Hill/58th Ave Bid PublIc Works had combmed three small water projects mto one bid, Though they advertised the bid beyond their nonnal practices, they did not receIve any bids for the project. It appears that many bIdders have current work that restricts further bondmg and lllsurance. Other Junsdictions have also received no bIds for some projects, and higher than expected bids for other projects. Public Works will try to re-bld the project m the early fall. Delav bid. * 2. City Shops Re-RoofBid Only one bid was submItted to re-roofthe city shops. Both Minkler and George Long shops are m need of new roofs, The one bId that was received was much hIgher than the recently increased bId estimate. Staff WIll try to re-bld the project m wmter. Recommend resolution to reject bids to COW and Re2ular lVIeetin2s. 3. Video Inspection of Private Storm Drains PublIc vVorks stonn drain crews have found 21 places in Tubvila where the public stonn drainage system flows mto pIpes under private property. Because these pipes have not been maintained for many years some are starting to fail. The CIty will need to find whether the systems are private, or whether there are public easements where homes or apartments now stand, It may be the best legal strategy to work to get these failmg systems repaired, though with the current fee structure the CIty cannot afford the cost of domg all the repairs needed. John Howat knows of many of these systems as he crawled through the pipes when some of them were being built thirty years ago, He and Ryan had some dramatic pictures of failmg pipes taken with the TV inspectIon cameras. Information. 4. Area 3 of GIS Infrastructure Inventorv The first two phases of GIS inventory of stonn drams, survey monuments and roads have proved to be very useful to crews. Though John Howat knows some of the information, it is unwise to rely on a person who may not always be avaIlable to the City. GIS can supply the Infonnation for anyone to read. Perteet Engineering did the first two phases of GIS mventory, and now has been chosen as the contractor for the third phase, Phase ill will mclude the Foster neighborhood south to and including McMicken, wIth Highway 99 as the west boundary and 1-5 as the east boundary. Recommend awardin2 bid for Phase 3 GIS-Based Inventorv to Perteet Engineerin2 for $287.360. 5. 2004 Small Draina2e Project Pro2ram Acceptance Dennis Craig was the company that dId surface water improvements at seven sItes. They finIshed theIr work in April, and the work cost less than budgeted. Less gravel backfill was needed, as natIve sOlIs were better than antIcIpated. Recommend acceptance of proiect and release of retain age to consent agenda of a Re2ular lVIeetin2. _ Cornnuttee chaIr approval Minutes by LL
