Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />The project consultant has provided an amendment to the existing professional services agreement <br />for the project, included as Attachment A. The amendment is necessary due to the following issues. <br />1. The project plans and specifications must be split into two separate contract documents to <br />allow bids for the parking lot as a separate project. <br />2. Ramsey County changed a previous determination and will now allow the installation of a <br />Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) at the south crosswalk on Hamline Avenue after <br />previously denying the Councils request. The RRFB must be added to the plan set. <br />3. Ramsey County is currently facing budget challenges and determined that State Aid funding <br />would be used for their portion of the crosswalks on Hamline Avenue. The Consultant will <br />need to coordinate State Aid plan reviews. <br />4. An easement is needed from an adjacent property for the Shorewood Drive drainage <br />improvements. The consultant must prepare an easement drawing and legal description for <br />the easement. <br />While the amendment increases the fee for the project by $9,026, it will provide for the installation <br />of an RRFB on Hamline Avenue, which will be a significant safety improvement for pedestrians <br />crossing Hamline Avenue during high traffic volumes periods. The amendment will also provide a <br />freestanding plan set for the City Hall Parking Lot, which can be used for future bidding without the <br />need for additional consultant design services in the future. <br />Budget Impact <br />A summary of the estimated project costs and funding sources is provided below, and includes <br />funding from a cooperative agreement with Ramsey County for the proposed pedestrian crosswalk <br />improvements. <br />Estimated Costs <br />City Hall Parking Lot $ 270,000 <br />Hamline Avenue Crosswalks $ 101,500 <br />Shorewood Drive Drainage $ 87,800 <br />Design Services $ 74,100 <br />Construction Administration $ 7,700 <br />TOTAL $ 541,100 <br /> <br /> Estimated Funding <br /> Bldg Replacement Fund $ 301,100 <br /> PIR Fund $ 66,000 <br /> Ramsey County $ 60,000 <br />Surface Water Mgmt Fund $ 114,000 <br /> TOTAL $ 541,100 <br /> <br />Attachments <br />Attachment A: Amendment No. 1 for Professional Services Agreement with HR Green <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
