County Road 10 Trailway Project: Segments 9& 10 - Review of Boardwalk <br />Bump Out <br />Public Works Director Lee explained that the bump out is estimated to cost $4,900 and to change <br />the plans and specs and bid documents would be approximately $1,200 to $1,500. He then asked <br />Council for direction to either continue moving forward with Option One to keep the bump out <br />or to move forward with Option Two amending the plans and specs to remove the bump out. <br />Mayor Mariy said that he would like to word the bids in the future so that there is not a fee to <br />change the bid like is happening in this instance. <br />Public Works Director Lee said that he does not know a way around getting the bid without the <br />bump out without amending the plans. <br />Mayor Marty said that it does not seem very complicated to do this and the fee to change the <br />plans seems a little high. <br />~ City Attorney Riggs explained that there must be bid standards to allow the contractors to bid <br />this competitively. <br />Public Works Director Lee explained that this bump out has been engineered with footings and <br />pilings and if there is just a straight boardwalk it needs to be determined whether those footings <br />are to be included or removed by the engineers. <br />Council Member Mueller asked whether the Council determined to ask for the bid with the bump <br />out. <br />Public Works Director Lee explained that it came from the Consultant from direction to include <br />things to make this project appealing to pedestrians to get them to use the trailway. <br />Council Member Flaherty said that he likes the bump out and feels it is a nice amenity for <br />residents. He then said that this was in the original feasibility report. <br />City Administrator Ulrich indicated that throughout the County Road 10 corridor project there <br />are a number of pocket parks and bump outs so there would be opportunities to scale down if <br />that is the desire of Council. <br />Mayor Marty indicated that he would like to leave it in especially since it would cost money to <br />• redo the plans to remove something from the p1an. He then said that perhaps Staff could ask the <br />contractors if they can do it without the bump outs when that time comes. <br />
