Mounds View City Council March 25, 2013 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br /> <br />the low bid was submitted by the same contractor the City has worked with for the last three <br />years. <br /> <br />Public Works Director DeBar briefly reviewed the bid submitted by Stantec for design fees and <br />management of the Area F project requesting it be approved not to exceed $165,000. He <br />discussed the geotechnical fees from Braun for the project and recommended the Council award <br />a Construction Contract to Northwest Asphalt for the 2013 Street and Utility Improvement <br />Project for Area F. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause questioned how the estimated project costs related to actual project <br />costs. Finance Director Beer commented the original estimate for the project was $3.16 million; <br />however the scope of the project had changed slightly as two parking lots were added to the <br />project, and would be done at the City’s expense. Public Works Director DeBar discussed this in <br />further detail stating the Greenfield Parking lot would cost approximately $51,000 and the Police <br />Parking lot was $117,000. He noted the additional slip lining that would be completed with this <br />project was estimated to be $252,000. It was noted the final expense for Area F would be <br />roughly $3.5 million. <br /> <br />Finance Director Beer explained the Council had budgeted $3.16 million for the project. He <br />noted the City had funds set aside for the Police parking lot, and had an additional $50,000 in <br />park dedication fees to assist with the Greenfield Park parking lot. He explained the City would <br />use sewer funds for the slip lining expense. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller was pleased that the engineering costs were able to be reduced through <br />the assistance of Public Works Director DeBar. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Meehlhause/Hull.
