Mounds View City Council April 22, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 8 on how to proceed. Staff recommended another quotes be pursued for this project and that the current project be closed out with T.A. Schifsky. The Council supported staff pursuing another quote for this work. Mayor Lindstrom stated he supported the City fixing the problem rather with Schifsky’s or another vendor. He believed the quote provided by Schifsky’s was abnormally high. He supported staff pursuing another quote. He asked if staff could have another quote by May 6. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson anticipated he could have another quote by this date. Mayor Lindstrom explained there were several different issues with this project. He stated there were driveways that have bad concrete that were conforming that need to be replaced, then there were driveways that were under warranty that were non-conforming that need to be replaced, and then there were driveways that were non-conforming that need to be brought up to code. He reported if the City were to receive another quote, the City could proceed with the quote they have to close this project out with a single vendor. He questioned when the City would be communicating with the neighborhood. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson stated the contractor has indicated the concrete work would be done in two to three weeks. He reported if the Council considers this matter at their May work session meeting, a neighborhood meeting could be held later that same week. He did not advise holding a neighborhood meeting until the Council knows for sure what is happening. Further discussion ensued regarding the concrete curb warranty work. Vince Meyer commented on how his driving ability will be impacted if only one extension were installed on his driveway. He questioned why his driveway was not installed in a manner that conformed with City Code. He expressed concern with the fact the City would now have to pay for somebody else’s mistake. He indicated his current driveway was only 11 feet wide. He stated his previous driveway flared out 15 feet and he would like it to be replaced in the same manner. Mayor Lindstrom believed the proper action would be to table or deny action on Resolution 9913. City Attorney Riggs recommended the Council postpone action on this Resolution.
