Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />opened on Tuesday May 5, 2015. Five bids were received ranging in total price (New Brighton <br />and Arden Hills work) from $3,538,506.61 to $3,810,127.70. The Arden Hills’ portion of the <br />project based on the low bid submitted by Bituminous Roadways is $522,423.30. This amount is <br />significantly higher than the February estimate of $400,000. Most of the overage appears to be in <br />concrete items such as retaining wall and curb and gutter as well as a small general “across the <br />board” increase that reflects the amount of work in the metro area. With a few very minor <br />exceptions, the entire cost is fundable by Municipal Stare Aid funds. <br /> <br />Attached is a Joint Powers Agreement prepared by New Brighton and reviewed by our City <br />Attorney for payment of our share of the construction cost plus 5% for bidding and <br />administration, shop drawing review, construction staking and construction observation. A small <br />amount of testing will be contracted separately. Staff would recommend approval by Council to <br />enter into the Joint Powers Agreement for the Mounds View Trail. <br /> <br />At the February work session, staff reported on preliminary discussions with the Mounds View <br />School District relative to financial participation in the project. At that time the School District <br />indicated that they would contribute $80,000 and may consider raising that to $100,000. Through <br />negotiations staff has been able to get the School District to increase their contribution to <br />$120,000. Attached is an Agreement that was prepared by our City Attorney and reviewed by the <br />School District’s Attorney. Staff would recommend approval of the Agreement for the School <br />District’s contribution. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />Attachment A: Exhibit showing project <br />Attachment B: Joint Powers Agreement <br />Attachment C: Agreement <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
