Sealed bids for the Town Hall Street project were opened. Two bids were received. The Knife River Bid was $206,980.50

After reviewing the bids, an addition error was discovered on the Knife River bid. The correct amount is $240,082.50. Asphalt
prices have risen from $300 per ton to $500 per ton partly due to the refinery fire in Superior last month. There was discussion

bid and the Chairman is authorized to sign the contract. Greg seconded, motion passed.

The Planning Commission will discuss the issue at their next meeting.
