He stated they had done <br />satisfactory work for the City in the past. <br /> <br />Mr. Greg Stonehouse, MSA Consulting Engineers, stated the bid was for $384,000, which also <br />included three portions of the trail segment, and the slurry seal of North Snelling Avenue. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst inquired if the bid also included the sanitary sewer work for Hamline Avenue. Mr. <br />Stonehouse replied that work had been included in the bid. <br /> <br />Councilmember Keirn inquired if the trail coatings were to be pea gravel, and stated her concerns <br />for use of this coating material. Mr. Stonehouse replied the trails would not be coated with pea <br />gravel, but with a more finely-ground coating. <br /> <br />Cindy Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director, commented that the City may not be able to <br />accomplish all of the trail seakoating this year, due to the increased cost of the slurry coat. Mr. <br />Stonehouse stated it may be possible that all three portions could be completed. <br /> <br />Mr. Fritsinger commented there were still two days remaining for the 30-day appeal process for <br />1997 street improvement assessments. He stated one formal appeal had been received by the <br />City as of to day's meeting. <br /> <br />MOTION: <br /> <br />Malone moved and Hicks seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #97-21, <br />accepting the bid and authorizing the execution of the contract in the matter of the <br />1997 street improvement project. <br /> <br />ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS <br /> <br />Mr. Fritsinger stated he would be meeting individually with those architects scheduled for <br />interviews with Councilmembers as potential architects for the proposed new City Hall, and if <br />needed, offered to provide duplicates of the formal RFP's previously received from each firm. <br /> <br />COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated the Ramsey County Parks & Recreation Department had begun planning for <br />the redevelopment of Tony Schmidt Park. <br />
