Item No: 8D <br /> Meeting Date: November 12, 2024 <br /> MOUNDS VIEW Type of Business: CB <br /> Administrator Review: <br /> City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> From: Don Peterson, Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation <br /> Item Title/Subject: Resolution 10004, Approve the Proposal from Arko Restoration & <br /> Remodeling for the Public Works Office Remodel <br /> Background: <br /> The Public Works Department has many responsibilities that include, but is not limited to, <br /> efficiently operating and managing the City of Mounds View infrastructure such as the drinking <br /> water system, sanitary sewer system, storm water system, parks and grounds, facility <br /> maintenance, streets, sidewalks, trails, vehicles and equipment, natural areas including wooded <br /> and forested areas. <br /> Over the years, additional unfunded State and Federal Mandates have been placed on the <br /> Public Works Department along with increased operational and maintenance responsibilities, <br /> which has resulted in hiring additional Staff. <br /> When the Public Works facility was built in 2016, Administrative Staff was not anticipated to be <br /> housed in the new facility, but with efficiency and unity in mind, the department is functioning <br /> under 1 roof, something it hadn't since 1997. <br /> Due to the additional Staff that has been on boarded, the front office area does not adequately <br /> meet the needs or functions for the Public Works Administration department. <br /> Discussion: <br /> City Council was advised of the necessity to remodel the Administration office area to include <br /> the construction of a new office in the garage area for the Public Works Foreman. <br /> Staff contacted several construction companies to provide an estimate for a remodel. The first <br /> proposal came in higher than expected, prompting Staff to refine the design to find one that <br /> would best meet the needs for Staff and reduce the project cost; 2 proposals were received: <br /> RAK Construction, Inc $131,684.00 <br /> Arko Restoration & Remodeling $118,021.81 <br /> The Mounds View Vision <br /> A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
