Mounds View City Council July 14, 2014 Regular Meeting Page 8 Project Coordinator Stenglein explained a pipe along the east side of Pinewood Elementary was in need of repair. He commented the pipe was originally installed in the mid 90’s. He reviewed several photographs with the Council and indicated the City wanted to have this project completed prior to the start of the school year. Staff reviewed the expense for the project and recommended the Council approve a construction contract with Dave Perkins Contracting with a 15% contingency for the Pinewood Storm Sewer repair project. Council Member Meehlhause asked if the storm water projects being deferred in 2014 were critical. Project Coordinator Stenglein explained this was not the case. Mayor Flaherty questioned if the 15% contingency was necessary. Project Coordinator Stenglein explained that additional expenses may be necessary to restore the area and will not be known until after the pipe has been removed. MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 8280, Approving Construction Contract with Dave Perkins Contracting, Inc. for the 2014 Belle Lane – Pinewood Storm Sewer Repair Project. Mayor Flaherty commended staff for maintaining the City’s fund balances through the proposed project. Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. H. Resolution 8281, Authorizing Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to Perform Professional Engineering Design Services and Prepare Bidding Documents for Area H of the Street and Utility Improvement Program. Public Works Director DeBar reported Area H of the Street and Utility Improvement Program would be completed in 2015. He commented Arden Avenue and Groveland Road were the two non-standard streets in this area as each had State-Aid status. He indicated staff solicited a bid from Stantec to perform engineering design services. He discussed the efficiencies of using Stantec for this project and noted the expense for Area H would be $319,500, which would cover both design and construction. It was noted that this estimate also included some design work for Area I. Council Member Mueller was excited that the streets in her neighborhood would finally be completed. She questioned if the property on the west side of Groveland Park would remain a wetland. Public Works Director DeBar commented this was the case and believed stormwater would continue to drain into this area. Council Member Mueller expressed concern with pedestrian safety with the parking along Groveland Avenue and Ardan Avenue on game days. Public Works Director DeBar explained off-street parking surrounding Groveland Park would be similar to the parking at Hillview Park.
