ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
James Hardy, President of the Hilarita Residents Association, said there had been an ongoing
disagreement with the Hilarita-Tiburon Ecumenical Association Board about selling or conveying
the property to a nonprofit organization. He wondered if the Town's appointment to the Ecumenical

with the churches to move forward with the process of selling or conveying the land based on a
Town Council directive or independently.

ACTION ITEMS
AI-1. Pavement Repair Project—Rejection of all bids for 2017 Pavement Repair Project and
consider authorization of design of 2018 Major Paving Project (Department of Public
Works)
Director Barnes gave a brief background of anticipated paving projects. He said the 2017 pavement
repair project was included in this year's Capital Improvement Plan,and a major paving project was
anticipated for 2019.
He said there were only two bidders for the 2017 pavement repair project, and both were above his
cost estimate. He said the low bidder has been unresponsive, and does not have the requisite
experience. The remaining bidder was 50%above his estimate. He said there is a lot of paving work
going on in the area, and prices are high, so the Town could not expect to get better prices this
summer. He recommended the Town Council reject all bids and use the funds currently budgeted for
this project to design the 2019 major paving project, for construction in 2018 instead.
Vice Mayor O'Donnell wondered how streets were chosen for paving work.Director Barnes said the
type of maintenance for streets,and when to conduct maintenance,was based on usage and pavement
condition index. I Ie added that the ideal PCI for regular maintenance work was between 82-85,and a
road falling below 70 needed more maintenance.
Mayor Fraser asked for confirmation that this action would not defer regular street maintenance,such
as repairing potholes. Director Barnes said the regular maintenance program was still in place, and
Public Works routinely repairs potholes.
Fraser also inquired if the regular bidders for paving projects did not bid. Director Barnes said they
did not, and added that many construction firms are very busy right now.
Mayor Fraser opened the floor for public comment. There was none.
MOTION: To reject all bids for the 2017 Pavement Repair Project, and to begin design of the 2018
Major Paving project, currently included in the CIP for FY 2018-19.
Moved: Fredericks, seconded by O'Donnell
VOTE: AYES: Unanimous
