--------- Village of Arden Hills . June 5, 1990 Page 2 The requests made by Environet total $1580.00. In Delta's opinion these charges seem excessive in light of work actually completed in addition to that originally defined and lack of documentation of person hours used by Environet to complete the additional work. A summary of our opinions is presented below. Finally, Mr. Charles Tye, of Environet, Inc., has been notified by Delta with regard to the content of our opinions. Additional negotiation regarding Environet's requests should take place between the Village of Arden Hills and Environet, Inc. Item 1: Delta feels that a portion of Environet's request for this item is valid. Because site conditions had deteriorated due to vandalism and the expense of abatement equipment used by Environet did not justify leaving it unattended for overnight periods, removal of that equipment on a nightly basis was necessary. The seven days requested by Environet is more than was actually necessary to adequately protect their investment. The first and last day of work operations and movement of necessary equipment should be considered part of mobilization and demobilization costs incorporated into Environet's base bid. In addition, the first day of site work was primarily spent in preparing the work areas for removal; very little of the expensive equipment is necessary for this function. Delta recommends that 5 days, at 4 person hours per day at $35.00 per hour be accepted by the Village of Arden Hills. Total cost for this item shonld be $700.00. Item 2: Delta observed that a total of 2 person hours were necessary to accomplish removal and disposal of the 13 foot insulated pipe run, The $30.00 material and disposal charge is . reasonable and fair. The total cost for this item should be $100. Item 3: Environet's request for adjustment of additionallahor and disposal costs for material that appeared on the job site is excessive. Four (4) person hours were observed to have been needed by Environet and a total of 23 bags and 1 barrel of waste were removed from Ihis work area for base bid work and for the additional material removed. Delta is recommending that 4 person hours at $35.00 per hour and material and disposal costs of $33.00 be accepted for this additional work. The total cost for this item should be $173.00. Based on Delta's evaluation of Environet's requests, rather than the $1580.00 initially requested, we are recommending that a total of $973.00 be accepted and approved by the Village of Arden Hills.
