Farrel stated that proposed Ordinance No. 1411 amends the International Building Code to remove the permit exception for roof and siding replacement.

John stated that the committee was chaired by Mike Card with the committee members being Matt Fairholm, Julia Hellwege, Stacey Larson, and Travis Letellier. John noted that the recommendation of the Home Rule Study Committee presented at the January 20, 2020 noon meeting was to proceed with establishing an official Home Rule Charter Committee. John noted that the City Council’s consensus at the noon meeting was to bring the discussion of appointing a Home Rule committee forward to the February 3, 2020 evening meeting for deliberation and possible action. John reviewed the State statute on Home Rule committee noting that, once appointed, the Home Rule Committee has one year to complete their work and that, if approved by the City Council, the change in city government will require a public vote. John stated that the City Council will need to decide on the number of members for the committee, when to make the appointments, if City Council members are going to serve on the committee and a charge for the committee.

Motion to authorize staff to accept quotes for emergency repair of water line 11 Shane Griese, Utility Manager, reported that a leak has been detected in the 6-inch water main that crosses under the Vermillion River on South Dakota Street. Shane stated that the main replacement will consist of developing plans for the replacement of the existing main, obtaining soil boring samples, and hiring a directional boring company to bore a new water main under the river that will be connected to the existing water main. Shane noted that the river boring portion of the project is estimated at $70,000 to $100,000 and, as the boring contract is estimated to exceed $50,000, State statute would require competitive sealed bid process to be used for awarding this contract. Shane stated that the location and weather limit our ability to isolate and by-pass the problem area and due to this we would like to expedite the process. Shane reviewed the state statute which allows for emergency procurement without the time involved in advertising for bids. Shane stated that the extent of the damage to the existing water main cannot be determined or how long it will continue to supply water to the customers’ south of the river. Staff would request that the City Council declare the replacement of the water main an emergency. Shane stated that staff will work with Banner Engineering to obtain at least two quotes (more if possible) from companies to bore the replacement water main under the river and interconnect to the existing water main. Shane also noted that staff will look at the cost of increasing the water main size to 8-inches at this time to prepare the system for future needs. Shane stated that all information on the quotes and contracts will be documented in the contract file as well as provided to the City Council. Discussion followed. 26-20 Alderman Holland moved to declare the replacement of the water main an emergency and authorize staff to contract for the water main replacement by using quotes as outlined in SDCL 5-18A-9. Alderman Collier-Wise seconded the motion. Motion carried 8 to 0. Mayor Powell declared the motion adopted. D. Resolution authorizing the purchase of five vehicles Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that the 2020 equipment replacement budget included the replacement of two police vehicles and pickups for Code Enforcement, Water Department and Electric Department. Jose reported that staff compared prices from the State Contract with similar vehicles from Vermillion Ford and Sourcewell. Jose noted that the State Contract price was lower on all five vehicles. Jose reported that, when purchasing equipment, the City has several options based on State statutes. Jose noted that as the purchase of similar vehicles exceeded $50,000 bidding would be required unless an exception such as purchase from an already awarded contract that was awarded within 12- months as long as the awarded bid followed the bidding process (5-18A- 12 22(3)), purchase from a purchasing agency (5-18A-37), or purchase from the state contract list as long as the purchased item is at, or below, the price on the state contract list (5-18C-8). Jose reported that Vermillion Ford was provided the specifications for vehicles based on the awarded State contract prices. Jose noted that Vermillion Ford provided very favorable prices when compared to the Sourcewell prices but the Vermillion Ford prices were not equal to or lower than the State bid prices. Jose noted that staff would like to recommend that the City Council purchase the vehicles from Vermillion Ford but the statute being used (5-18C-8) does not allow for this. Jose stated that the prices from Vermillion Ford would have had to be the same, or lower, than the State bid prices and the statute does not allow for preference to local vendors. Jose recommended approving the Resolution to purchase the following vehicles from the State awarded bidder (Lamb Motors from Oneida, SD); two 2020 Ford Interceptor SUV for $71,714, and three 2020 Ford F150 XLT, 4x4, Regular Cab for $83,814 with the price including delivery to Vermillion.

Prices: State Contract - (2) 2020 Ford Interceptors SUV $35,857 each total $71,714, (3) 2020 Ford F150 XLT 4x4 regular cab pickups $27,938 each total $83,814; Sourcewell - (2) 2020 Ford Interceptors SUV $36,577 each total $73,154, (3) 2020 Ford F150 XLT 4x4 regular cab pickups $29,544 each total $88,632; Vermillion Ford - (2) 2020 Ford Interceptors SUV $35,982 each total $71,964, (3) 2020 Ford F150 XLT 4x4 regular cab pickups $28,000 each total $84,000. 27-20 After reading the same once, Alderman Ward moved adoption of the following: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF FIVE VEHICLES WHEREAS, SDCL 5-18C-8 authorizes a governmental entity to purchase from a state contract list, or from any willing vendor at a price at or below that shown in the state contract; and WHEREAS, the City of Vermillion approached the local dealer to see if they could match the price found in the state contract for two 2020 Ford Interceptor SUVs and three 2020 Ford F150 XLT, 4x4, Regular Cab pickup trucks; and WHEREAS, after the prices from the local dealer were compared with the state contract price it was found that the state’s contract price was still lower; and 13 WHEREAS, Lamb Motors of Oneida, South Dakota, is the holder of the State contract for the above listed vehicles and is willing to allow the City to purchase the vehicles for the price with delivery to Vermillion.
