Mounds View City Council May 26, 2015 <br />Regular Meeting Page 9 <br /> <br />Works Director Peterson stated this seems to be the case as bids for this project came in 10% to <br />15% higher than the engineer’s estimate. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller questioned if rebidding the project in 2016 would be a viable option. <br />Interim Public Works Director Peterson commented that if the Council were to wait until 2016 to <br />complete the project, costs may increase by another 25%. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty asked if TIF funds could be used on the project. Finance Director Beer reported <br />this was not an option. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller inquired if Special Projects Fund could be used to assist in funding the <br />project. Finance Director Beer stated funds from this account would be available. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty was disappointed that this project ran over budget, but he understood the trail <br />segment was in desperate need of rehabilitation. He questioned when the trail would be <br />complete if the Council were to authorize the contract. Interim Public Works Director Peterson <br />reported that the goal would be to have the trail segment completed for Festival in the Park <br />(weather pending). <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Meehlhause.
