BIDS AWARDED FOR CENTENNIAL LAKES PARK - PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE & LIGHT FIXTURES: AWARD
OF BID FOR SITE FURNISHINGS CONTINUED INDEFINITELY Executive Director Hughes said
that staff had solicited independent bids for the pedestrian bridge and for the
light fixtures for Centennial Lakes Park which are considerably lower than bids
solicited and rejected last May. Staff would recommend award of bid for the
pedestrian bridge to the low bidder, Lewis Engineering, at $50,965.00 and award of
bid for the light fixtures to the low bidder, Page Electric, at $76,590.00.
On October 15, 1990, staff recommended award of bid for site furnishings for
$17,793.00. The HRA continued this item due to concerns regarding cost and the
fact that there was only one bidder. Staff is still in the process of evaluating
alternatives to the site furnishings and would recommend that this item be
continued indefinitely.
Motion was made by Commissioner Paulus and was seconded by Commissioner Smith for
award of bid for Centennial Lakes Park Pedestrian Bridge to recommended low
bidder, Lewis Engineering, at $50,965.00.

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE AND MODIFICATION AGREEMENT AUTHORIZED FOR REFINANCING OF
EDINBOROUGH OFFICE BUILDING Attorney Erickson advised that the Edinborough Office
Building, owned by Edinborough Corporate East Limited Partnership, is being
refinanced. The lender of the mortgage loan, United States Leasing International,
Inc. , has requested that the Edina HRA sign an Estoppel Certificate and enter into
a Modification Agreement, details of which are set out in the letter dated
December 14, 1990 addressed to the HRA Commissioners.
Commissioner Rice referred to the last sentence in item 7. of the Estoppel
Certificate which stated "The Partnership is delinquent with respect to Public
Maintenance Charges payable for August, 1990 and subsequent months." He said he
presumed that as a condition for signing the certificate those maintenance charges
would be brought current. Attorney Erickson suggested that if the HRA is willing
to approve the documents that delivery be conditioned upon payment in full of the
maintenance charges.
