I - ! • C if f Viol/ • • RAMSEY COUNTY,MINNESOTA GATEWAY TO THE NORTH 2401 HIGHWAY 10 MOUNDS VIEW,MINN.55112 784-3055 January 4, 1990 Mr . Modris M. Feders, AIA Project Architect Buetow and Associates 2345 Rice Street Suite 210 St . Paul, MN 55113 RE: Storm Water Management Fee for. Mounds View Library B.A. 8821 Dear Mr. Feders : The Mounds View City Council at their January 2, 1990 Agenda Session reviewed your letter of December 18, 1989 requesting • that the City refund to Frerichs Construction the $1, 299 storm water management fee charged at the time of the issuance of a building permit for the Mounds View Branch Library. The City Council, Mr. Feders, felt very strongly that neither Ramsey County nor the Ramsey County Library Board should be responsible for. compensating Frerichs Construction Company for the storm water management fee nor should they agree to the requested Change Order due to a bidding error on the part of Frerichs Construction Company. Should Frerichs Construction Company have adequately researched all license and permit fees charged by the City of Mounds View as part of a building permit for such a project, they would have learned that a storm water management fee would have been charged for this project and, therefore, would have included it in their initial bid. Neither Ramsey County nor the Ramsey County Library Board should be held responsible for the errors and ommissions of a bidder. The City Council is also somewhat disturbed by the fact that Frerichs Construction Company not only requested the $1, 299 storm water management fee be reimbursed to them, but also expected that Ramsey County and the Ramsey County Library Board pay them a 10% profit for having had to pay this fee
