Mounds View City Council December 8, 2014 Regular Meeting Page 7 Finance Director Beer asked if this project could be bid with the City street improvement project. Public Works Director DeBar stated this would be an option, but he would recommend that the two projects remain separate. He then reviewed the proposed Resolution with the Council. Council Member Meehlhause questioned if the City would bond for this project. Finance Director Beer did not anticipate that the City would have to bond for the Mustang Drive rehabilitation project. Council Member Mueller inquired when a topographic survey would be completed. Public Works Director DeBar recommended that this work be completed in the next few weeks before the snow was too deep. He explained this survey would serve as the base design for the final plans. Mayor Flaherty questioned the expense of the feasibility study. Public Works Director DeBar noted the expense quoted from Stantec was $11,780. MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 8347, Authorizing Stantec to Prepare a Feasibility Report for Mustang Drive Pavement Rehabilitation and Drainage Improvement Project. Council Member Meehlhause believed that special assessment should be considered given the fact the City will have other commercial/industrial roadways to complete in the future. Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. J. Resolution 8348, Authorizing Professional Engineering Design and Preparation of Bidding Documents for Silver View Park Trail Rehabilitation. Public Works Director DeBar explained Silver View Park Trail was originally constructed in the early 1980’s with woodchips. He indicated the trail was paved with two inches of asphalt in 1993. He commented the trail was in poor condition at this time and was in need of rehabilitation. He reported American Engineering Testing completed geo-borings on the trail and recommends soil corrections for some segments of the trail. Public Works Director DeBar reviewed the engineering expenses for the design, bidding and construction phases for the Silver View Park Trail project. He reported Bolton & Menk came in with the low bid of $31,772. He reported staff had $150,000 budgeted for this project in 2015. Mayor Flaherty inquired if the four-inch aggregate base was necessary. He asked if the City should consider lowering the inches of aggregate and asphalt to reduce the expense for the project. Public Works Director DeBar stated this would be an option for the Council, but stated the trail would not last as long as the other six-inch aggregate and three inch asphalt option. He commented that he could have Bolton & Menk review the options available to the Council and report back with further information. He further discussed the soil condition along the trail
