The request for a sole source declaration for procurement of an irrigation booster on the
Chubbuck Development Authority's Knudsen Blvd. project was explained. Steve Smart would
like to keep the irrigation systems that are now required in each new development in the city
uniform for savings in maintenance and updates. The booster requested would be the same as the
ones used in the two existing systems the City has. Council member Marshall expressed concern
over purchasing outside the bidding process. He did not want to loose any reduction in price that
the City might realize in the bidding process. Steve will prepare the documentation needed to bid
out for the booster.
The requirement for a radius curb at the RV storage planned at the 400 block of East Chubbuck
Road was explained to the Council. Syd Wood explained that the nature of the business, the
traffic it would generate and the actual physical layout of the RV Storage would not cause any
problem on Chubbuck Road and therefore the requirement of the radius curb should be waived.
Mr. Wood agreed that if the use of the lot changed that radius curb would most likely be
warranted. Council Member Ellis moved to approve the waiver of the required radius curb with
a review of the situation every two years. Council Member Morrison seconded. Roll call vote:
England -yes, Ellis -yes, Marshall -yes, Morrison -yes.
