Mounds View City Council March 14, 2022 Regular Meeting Page 7 1 Attorney Riggs stated he understood Council Member Bergeron's point, but he believed staff 2 recommendation was the better option. He advised by not approving Bid Alternate 3 there was a 3 potential for a cost raise in the future if this item were to move forward. 4 5 Council Member Bergeron commented the work would not be done until 2023 regardless if bid 6 Alternate 3 was approved. He questioned when the alternate would have to be put back in, in order 7 to have the work completed. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson reported 8 construction could not start until May 15, 2023, noting staff would bring the matter before the 9 Council well before this time. 10 11 Mayor Mueller noted she had a concern with how the project would be impacted if the bid alternate 12 were removed and then added later. She feared the contractor could move onto another project 13 and would then have to be called back to complete Alternate 3. She stated if the bid alternate were 14 to remain in place, the contractor would have the equipment and manpower in place, and the 15 Council could then remove it at a future date if desired. 16 17 Council Member Bergeron commented he knows someone quite well that completes bids and 18 determines the labor that is required for contracts. He indicated this was not determined until a 19 project is started, which would be the May 15, 2023 date. 20 21 Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson explained he was recommending the 22 Council award all bid alternates with the understanding further community engagement would 23 occur between now and that time, and not price increases would occur if the bid alternate were to 24 be approved at this time. 25 26 Council Member Hull stated the reason the City wants this trail segment was because it would 27 connect to other trail sections. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson stated this 28 was correct. 29 30 Council Member Meehlhause asked if this trail section would be coming back to the Council for 31 final approval prior to May 15, 2023. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson 32 commented this was his plan. 33 34 Council Member Bergeron withdrew his motion from the floor. 35 36 Council Member Meehlhause withdrew his second. 37 38 MOTION/SECOND: Hull/Meehlhause.
