Mounds View City Council January 22, 2007 Regular Meeting Page 9 Ms. Murlowski commented that Medtronic will have a wellness center and they will be using a 1 lot of the techniques that she plans to do so this should be addressed by the City. 2 3 Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 4 5 C. County Road 10 Trailway Project: Segments 9 & 10 – Review of Boardwalk 6 Bump Out 7 8 Public Works Director Lee explained that the bump out is estimated to cost $4,900 and to change 9 the plans and specs and bid documents would be approximately $1,200 to $1,500. He then asked 10 Council for direction to either continue moving forward with Option One to keep the bump out 11 or to move forward with Option Two amending the plans and specs to remove the bump out. 12 13 Mayor Marty said that he would like to word the bids in the future so that there is not a fee to 14 change the bid like is happening in this instance. 15 16 Public Works Director Lee said that he does not know a way around getting the bid without the 17 bump out without amending the plans. 18 19 Mayor Marty said that it does not seem very complicated to do this and the fee to change the 20 plans seems a little high. 21 22 City Attorney Riggs explained that there must be bid standards to allow the contractors to bid 23 this competitively. 24 25 Public Works Director Lee explained that this bump out has been engineered with footings and 26 pilings and if there is just a straight boardwalk it needs to be determined whether those footings 27 are to be included or removed by the engineers. 28 29 Council Member Mueller asked whether the Council determined to ask for the bid with the bump 30 out. 31 32 Public Works Director Lee explained that it came from the Consultant from direction to include 33 things to make this project appealing to pedestrians to get them to use the trailway. 34 35 Council Member Flaherty said that he likes the bump out and feels it is a nice amenity for 36 residents. He then said that this was in the original feasibility report. 37 38 City Administrator Ulrich indicated that throughout the County Road 10 corridor project there 39 are a number of pocket parks and bump outs so there would be opportunities to scale down if that 40 is the desire of Council. 41 42 Mayor Marty indicated that he would like to leave it in especially since it would cost money to 43 redo the plans to remove something from the plan. He then said that perhaps Staff could ask the 44 contractors if they can do it without the bump outs when that time comes. 45 46
