Mounds View City Council March 22, 2010 Regular Meeting Page 4 Minnesota for the 2010 Municipal Well No. 1 and 2 Rehabilitation Project. Mayor Flaherty questioned why the wells needed to be rehabilitated. Public Works Director DeBar explained the wells supplied raw ground water that would then be treated by the City. Over time, the wells need to be rehabilitated from pumping 529 million gallons a year. Council Member Mueller thanked staff for drafting the plans and specs in house. She questioned how much money the City saved by not sending this work to a consultant. Public Works Director DeBar stated he was working to create a standard bid proposal that would be used for all future projects, which took staff several days to complete. He noted input was provided from the City Attorney as well. The estimated savings was $5,000-10,000. MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull.
