Mounds View City Council March 10, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 11 <br /> <br /> 1 <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 2 <br /> 3 <br />Council Member Marty expressed concern that the engineering estimate was much lower than 4 <br />the actual costs for the project. He then said that he would like Staff to ensure that engineering 5 <br />estimates are carefully reviewed in the past so that the amounts are closer to the actual amount. 6 <br /> 7 <br />Mayor Linke asked why there was a need for another agreement. 8 <br /> 9 <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that this project was started before he came to the City and 10 <br />he has found that there was no letter agreement for anything other than the original drawings. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Mayor Linke asked if Staff recommended that the engineers be responsible for the inspection of 13 <br />the water tower. He then said that he is used to seeing all of these services wrapped into the 14 <br />original proposal and not in two pieces. He further commented that he is not pleased with SEH 15 <br />at this time as they are not following through with their responsibilities and it is costing the City 16 <br />money. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated he understood the concern and said he is working with SEH 19 <br />to bring things to where they should be. 20 <br /> 21 <br />Mayor Linke suggested that the City may need to discuss some free work to pay for the screw ups 22 <br />in the past as the City is losing money because of SEH’s failure to do what they are paid to do. 23 <br /> 24 <br />Council Member Marty agreed and said that he is not happy with some of the things that are 25 <br />coming back from SEH for more money. 26 <br /> 27 <br />Council Member Stigney asked if it would be beneficial to postpone approval to allow Staff to 28 <br />discuss the matter with SEH. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated there was time to postpone as the work would not begin 31 <br />until September. 32 <br /> 33 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Marty.
