NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR COMMUNITY PARK WATER CONNECTION
Dick Friemuth, Buetow and Associates, explained that at the time
construction companies were preparing bids for the new park
building, none could obtain an estimated cost from the St. Paul
Water Department for the connection of water service to the
building. For that reason, the water connection cost was not
included in the bid. Friemuth also explained that an eight inch
water supply will be necessary ~o accomodate the addition of the
sprinkler system, which will increase the cost. Jacobs
questioned why the absence of the installation cost for water
service was not noted at the time Council approved the $290,000
bid for construction of the building. Wallin also expressed
concern that Council was not informed that the cost was not
available, and stated he did not like change orders as they are
not subject to competitive bidding. Kriegler stated that the
fact that the water connection cost was not available was
briefly mentioned once, however, no indication of the
ramifications was indicated. Council expressed concern that
there might be more surprises, i.e., installation of the sewer
system, and asked staff to research the matter. Wallin
expressed his disappointment in the way the matter has been
handled and requested Friemuth attempt to obtain a variance from
St. Paul Water Utility to allow for a smaller water service to
the building.
