Whereas, three bids were received after publication of notice, those bids being opened on Thursday August 15^th at approximately 9:05 a.m. by City Administrator Doug Herman and Park & Recreation Director Jacob Oswald, and being as follows:

-and-

Whereas, The Council finds that the low bidder is Steve Monk Construction and Lawn Care as noted above and further finds that he submitted appropriate proof of insurance as required by the bid specifications, and

Whereas, The Council finds that contracting with Steve Monk Construction & Lawn Care at the price bid is in the best interests of the City and makes financial sense, and, therefore, directs the City Administrator to contract with Steve Monk Construction & Lawn Care and to further sit down with them to update the current contract between the City and Steve Monk Construction & Lawn Care to more accurately describe what is expected of them with regard to mowing, weed whipping, spraying, and/or otherwise caring for the properties described in the existing contract, with the understanding that the agreement, when modified, will be brought to the City Council for final review and approval.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Monticello does hereby approve of the hiring of Steve Monk Construction & Lawn Care to mow the Baty DGC and the Northridge Retention Structure and further directs the City Administrator to work with Monk to re-draft the existing contract between Monk Const. and the City to more accurately reflect what it is they are mowing and what is expected of Monk Const. under the contract.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed hereto.  Done this 19^th Day of August, 2019.
