• Payment to Ramsey County in the amount of $101,751.25 per the Cooperative Agreement, PUBW2022-23R, for Right -of -Way Acquisition costs through December 2023. Background/Discussion On January 9, 2023, the City Council entered into a Cooperative Agreement for Right -of -Way acquisition and design, PUBW2022-23R. On January 8, 2024, the City Council entered into a Cooperative and Maintenance Agreement, PUBW2023-05. These Agreements between the City of Arden Hills and Ramsey County are for the reconstruction of the intersection of Old Snelling Avenue North and County Road E/Lake Johanna Boulevard (Roundabout Project) and the construction of Mounds View High School Trail (MVHS Trail) on Old Snelling Avenue (County State Aid Highway 76) between County Rd E2 and Lake Valentine Road. Attachment A is City Change Order No. 1 (County Change Order No. 5) for the MVHS Trail project, with plans that required the removal and replacement of casting and rings for the existing sanitary manhole to match the new trail elevation. Upon review in the field, the existing structure did not have adjusting rings, so the casting could not be lowered without reconstructing the structure. The Engineer directed the Contractor to reconstruct the sanitary manhole in order to lower the casting to the correct finished grade elevation. Staff reviewed this item in the field and considers it reasonable. Staff recommends that Council approve City Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $7,150.00. Attachment B is City Change Order No. 2 (County Change Order No. 6) for the MVHS Trail Plans, which identifies a power pole relocation (by others) along the project corridor. The utility owner (Xcel) was notified of the required relocations. Xcel installed new power poles as required by the project, but in order to complete aerial transfers to the new poles, several services required replacement. At 4057 Fairview Avenue, Xcel was unable to replace the service due to extensive corrosion of the existing meter sockets. The Engineer directed the Contractor to replace the meter sockets at this location so that Xcel could complete their relocations as required by the project. Staff reviewed this item and considers it reasonable. Staff recommends that Council approve City Change Order No. 2 in the amount of $3,685.00. Attachment C is City Change Order No. 3 (County Change Order No. 7) for the MVHS Trail project, the Plan shows proposed storm sewer installation adjacent to and underneath the new trail. When performing removals for the new storm sewer and trail section, the Contractor encountered the following unforeseen existing pavement section in SB Old Snelling: 8" of concrete pavement, 6" of soil, another 8" section of concrete pavement, overlaid by varying thickness of bituminous pavement. The Plans did not identify the concrete pavement and only included a pay item for bituminous pavement removal. The Engineer re -designed the storm sewer to minimize disturbance to the existing pavement. The Engineer directed the Contractor to remove the full -depth pavement section in order to install the storm sewer per the revised design and replace the void space (up to the bottom of the proposed trail section) with Aggregate Base Class 5. The Engineer measured the area of removed concrete pavement (each slab), volume of material excavated between the two concrete pavement sections, and volume of Class 5 material used to replace the removed pavement. This change in scope had to be completed for the Page 2 of 5
