Lynch, City Administrator ~ <br /> <br />Cost Changes in Cleveland Avenue Bridge Repairs <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Backl!:round <br />In 1999, the City Council authorized cost participation in the repairs to the Cleveland Avenue <br />bridge. At that time, Ramsey County had presented a cost estimate of $20,280.77 for the Arden <br />Hills share of these repairs. <br /> <br />SuhseQuent Bid Results <br />We have received notice from Ramsey County that the bids taken on this project have come in <br />higher than estimated. The Arden Hills' cost share for this project is now $26,907.59 or a <br />$6,626.82 increase. This is a thirty-three percent (33%) increase. <br /> <br />Mr. Post has indicated that the City budgeted approximately $48,000 as our share of this project <br />in 1999 , We did not spend this money during 1999, and therefore it is available and more than <br />covers the cost increase, <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />Ramsey County is seeking confirmation from Arden Hills to pay the cost increase. Staff <br />recommends that the Arden Hills City Council re-affirm their cost participation in this project <br />and willingness to pay the increase due to higher bids. <br /> <br />Enclosure: Ramsey County Fax <br />
