Mounds View City Council May 23, 2011 Regular Meeting Page 10 well has been evaluated by Bolton & Menk and the proposed conversion would allow the well to continue functioning properly. Public Works Director DeBar explained the City requested quotes from five qualified electrical vendors and received three estimates for the project. The low quote was submitted by Muska Electric of Roseville for $55,400. He noted Bolton & Menk would assist the City with the construction phase of the project which would be an additional $23,500 for the project. The City budgeted $75,000 for the project and the estimate at this time was $73,900. He noted Xcel Energy was offering rebates (estimated at $8,000) which would assist in reducing the overall expense. Public Works Director DeBar noted the work was scheduled to take place this summer, which would keep Well No. 2 offline. He did not foresee this being a concern for the City. Staff recommended the Council approve the construction contract with Muska and allow a 5% contingency. Mayor Flaherty questioned if the City would be strained with Well No. 2 offline. Public Works Director DeBar stated Well No. 2 works in conjunction with Well No. 1 drawing water from the same aquafer. Staff was confident the City’s water supply would remain stable with Well No. 2 offline for several months this summer. MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 7796, Approving a Construction Contract with Muska Electric Company for the 2011 Electrical Modifications for Well No. 2 Motor Conversion Project. Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. N. Resolution 7797, Approving the Bidding Documents and Authorizing Advertisement for Bids for the 2011 Partial Reroofing of City Hall and Full Reroofing of Well House Nos. 5 and 6 Project. Public Works Director DeBar stated the City has received preliminary plans to partially reroof City Hall along with reroofing Well Houses No. 5 and 6. He reviewed the areas of the City Hall which would be reroofed in detail, along with the Well House locations. The new roofing material would be an improved quality and was estimated to last 30 years. Portions of the current roof were 13 years old with an expected life of 10 years. Public Works Director DeBar explained the Council budgeted $240,000 to reroof City Hall and $23,000 to reroof each of the well houses. Staff feels the original estimates were slightly high and could come in lower than estimated. He noted the City would have to go through a professional bidding process for this project. Staff recommends the Council approve the bidding documents and authorize advertisement for bids for the reroofing project. Council Member Mueller questioned if the $250,000 that was budgeted in 2011 for this project would cover the entire expense to partially reroof City Hall and the two well houses. Public
