Mounds View City Council April 11, 2016 Regular Meeting Page 5 reduced to 8%, which brought the cost for the project down to $201,340.99. He described the 1 improvements that would be made along County Road I and recommended the Council approve 2 the cost share agreement with Ramsey County. 3 4 Mayor Flaherty requested further information on the engineering fees. Kathy Jaschke, Ramsey 5 County Project Manager, explained typically the County charges 12% for engineering and 12% 6 for design fees. She stated that on most projects the County spent close to 30% for these items. 7 However, signal design was much less detailed and therefore the fees could be reduced to 8%. 8 9 Mayor Flaherty questioned why it has taken 30 years to get this temporary signage replaced. Ms. 10 Jaschke reported this item has been a low priority for both the City and the County. She 11 indicated that once the concrete was slated for replacement the County believed that now was the 12 time to make the temporary signal permanent. 13 14 Mayor Flaherty asked when the project would be completed. Ms. Jaschke noted the project was 15 scheduled to be completed during the summer of 2016. She reported she would have more 16 details on the construction timeline after a preconstruction conference was held with the 17 contractor. 18 19 Mayor Flaherty discussed the work that was being conducted by the City, County and Met 20 Council in and around County Road I this summer. 21 22 Council Member Mueller asked if the signal posts would be yellow and green. Ms. Jaschke 23 reported the posts would be galvanized to avoid rust. 24 25 Mayor Flaherty explained the City had a number of light signals that were in need of repainting 26 due to lead based paint. He commented on the high price to do this work and requested the 27 County provide assistance with this work. Ms. Jaschke would bring this concern back to the 28 County. 29 30 Council Member Mueller questioned how the parade route would be impacted given the high 31 level of road construction around County Road I. Public Works Director Erickson indicated the 32 parade route could remain as is due to the fact the road construction would occur north of County 33 Road I. 34 35 Council Member Meehlhause asked if County Road I would be shut down at any time during 36 construction. Ms. Jaschke stated this roadway would not be closed. 37 38 Mayor Flaherty recalled the Council had budgeted $125,000 for this project. He questioned 39 where the additional funds would come from to cover the additional expense of this project. 40 Finance Director Beer indicated the County Road H bridge came in under budget by $60,000, 41 which would be used to cover this overage. 42 43 MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Meehlhause.
