Mounds View City Council December 12, 2005 Regular Meeting Page 14 MOTION/SECOND: Thomas/Flaherty. To waive the reading and adopt Resolution 6691, a 1 Resolution in Support of Blaine Council Acceptance of Bid Package #2 Recommendations for 2 the SBM Fire Station. 3 4 Ayes-5 Nays-0 Motion carried. 5 6 F. Resolution 6700 Waiving the Public Improvement Hearing, Holding a Public 7 Information Meeting, Ordering the Project, Approving a Contract to 8 Demolish the Existing Building at Random Park and Authorizing the 9 Preparation of Plans and Specifications for the Random Park Building 10 Replacement Project 11 12 Public Works Director Lee stated this project was discussed last week to relocate the former golf 13 course club house to Random Park. At that meeting, there was general consensus to move 14 forward since it will save the City about $100,000 over constructing a new building of a 15 comparable size and replace the building seven years sooner than scheduled in the current CIP. 16 Staff prepared a resolution with the first action being to award the demolition contract. 17 18 Public Works Director Lee reported that one quote was received in amount of $12,800, which is 19 close to the engineer’s estimate of $12,000. Staff reviewed the quotes from the Groveland Park 20 building line items of $18,200 and felt this was a good quote. If awarded, Jay Brothers would 21 start as soon as Monday, December 19, and it is estimated that it would take two weeks. They 22 would remove the foundation and handicapped ramp, remove and cap the utilities, private 23 utilities would be disconnected, the site graded off, thermo blankets put in place for two months, 24 and then a separate contractor could do excavation and construction. 25 26 Public Works Director Lee discussed the project schedule, which will be very tight. He 27 explained there are four options to move the club house. After discussing the options with 28 moving contractors, staff felt the most feasible option was to move the club house to Random 29 Park and placed it on cribbing which would be fenced. Then a separate contractor would do the 30 foundation and site work, connect utilities, and then lower the building on the foundation. 31 32 Public Works Director Lee reviewed the approximate project schedule, noting the project will be 33 back for final specification approval on January 9, and the bid awarded on February 13. The club 34 house will be moved the last week of February, and the project completed in June of 2006. He 35 noted there was discussion at the last meeting about financing the project from TIF, if an eligible 36 expense, and the rest being funded 50/50 between the Park Dedication Account and the Special 37 Project Fund. Based on that, the City would not be required to hold a formal public hearing. 38 Staff recommends the Council waive the formal public hearing but schedule an informal public 39 informational meeting. He advised that staff did notify people living within 500 feet of Random 40 Park as well as frequent users of the building so he would recommend the public be allowed to 41 speak tonight. 42 43
