MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Stigney to Approve Resolution No.5134,on City of Mounds View's Position • Regarding a County Jail in Shoreview. VOTE: 4 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried F. Consideration of Approving Resolution No.5141 of Project Management Services Agreement with WAI Continuum for the Development of the Community Center. Ms.Bennett explained that at the suggestion of Attorney Long,WAI Continuum was asked to draft an agreement for Project Management Services to assist in providing guidance during the construction of the Bel Rae Community Center. Their proposal is that it would cost between$30,000 and$45,000 for these services. Ms.Bennett explained that Mr.Whiting and herself would work closely with WAI representatives to minimize the amount of time they would spend on the project. Mr.Whiting explained that both Ms.Bennett and himself expect during the construction of the project,to experience some questions that go beyond their scope of expertise as well as the problems associated with time restraints in dealing with the details of a project such as this. Council member Trude noted that the City is currently paying the architect a 7%fee to oversee the project. She wondered if any of these costs would be covered by his service fees. Ms.Bennett explained that the items covered under the project management contract with WAI would be those that go beyond the scope of the plans and specifications for the architectural contract agreement. She feels that WAI is likely to detect problems that an outside company would not be able to pick up. Therefore,it will be less costly to the city in the long run. The contract would be similar to the Attorney contract with the city and WAI services would only be u '; upon city request. Attorney Long noted that the city would be have the authority to cancel the contract at any time. • Acting Mayor Koopmeiners asked where the money would be coming from to pay for these services. Mr. Whiting noted that it would be coming from the$3.3 million that has been set aside for the Bel Rae project.
