RE: West Olive Street Center Circle
61h Avenue Street Improvement SID #762
Bozeman, MT
ATTN: Mr. Jeff Mihelich, City Manager
Dear Commissioners,
The residents and I that support this SID ask the City to reinstate the West Olive Street Center
Circle (CC) in the project. We collectively got the City Engineering Department to support CCs
in our 6 h Avenue Street Improvement SID at the intersections of Harrison @6`h. Alderson @6'h
and Koch@6th.
The successful bidder, Omdahl Excavating and Utilities,Inc. (Omdahl),was the successful bidder.
Omdahl's bid at$2.65 million was essentially$400,000 lower than the next lowest bidder at$3.07
million. As we understand matters, the cost for the West Olive Street CC would require an add-
on of approximately $10,000 to reinstate this CC in the SID. This is a small price to pay for such
a critically needed improvement to calm traffic speeds at the intersection of West Olive at 01'
Avenue.
I have asked some of my 6"' Avenue neighbors, who are also in support of including the West
Olive Street CC, to sign this letter with me. I ask that this matter be included on the docket of the
next available City Commission meeting. I will plan to attend your Commission meeting to
address this matter.
Thank you.
