ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 10, 2017 8 <br /> <br />engineering services in the amount of $121,698.54 (12% of their share of the construction costs). <br />The total fee requested by Elfering & Associates is $122,310. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant asked what led to the project cost increases. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka explained this was due to time extensions and an <br />increase in scope of the project.

She noted the County <br />had already approved of the overage. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes questioned if a contingency was built into this project. <br /> <br />Kristy Elfering, Elfering & Associates, reported the contingency number was flushed out after <br />the design phase. She discussed the changes the County had made to the project and how this had <br />impacted the cost of the project. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember McClung moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a <br />motion to approve the Elfering & Associates invoice for construction <br />administration services for the County Road E improvement project in the <br />amount of $122,310.
