ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JULY 22, 2019 18 <br /> <br /> <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom stated this would be difficult for him <br />to determine. He estimated the City may save 5%. However, he explained the demand for <br />construction was growing in the region and this may keep construction costs climbing. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden commented on the condition of the Royal Hills tennis court and stated <br />she wanted to see this project done. She did not like the idea of putting the tennis court off at <br />Hazelnut in lieu of the parking lot. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott indicated he was not comfortable putting these projects off as the bids may <br />come back higher and the work needed on the courts could be more. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes asked if these projects would be completed prior to winter <br /> <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom stated the City had issued some <br />flexibility on the acrylic surface so that the contractor does not force the issue and create a poor <br />product. He indicated the acrylic surface may be applied in the spring to ensure it was done <br />correctly. He commented further on the work that would be completed at each of the three parks. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden questioned if the project should be bid in January since some of the <br />work would already be completed in the spring. <br /> <br />Mr. Foss explained Cummings Park would be completed this fall. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant indicated the City could not separate the bid. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if Hazelnut Park could be cracked sealed to hold the material <br />together until it is resurfaced. <br /> <br />Mr. Foss commented he could reach out to his geotechnical group, but noted this may be an <br />option for a temporary fix. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a <br />motion to adopt Resolution 2019-025 Awarding a Contract for Tennis Court <br />Improvements for Hazelnut, Cummings and Royal Hills Parks Projects to <br />Bituminous Roadways for the Base Bid, Declining the Bid Alternate for <br />Hazelnut Park, and directing staff to seek alternative options for Hazelnut <br />Park. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember McClung moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion to <br />extend the Council meeting to 10:15 p.m. The motion carried unanimously (5- <br />0). <br /> <br />10. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />None. <br />
