Brown <br />Arden Hills City Engineer <br /> <br />Date: January 9, 2002 <br /> <br />Subject: Water Main Improvement Project, Old highway 10/ <br />Arden Manor Park Improvements <br /> <br />Background <br />The City of Arden Hills awarded Dave Perkins Contracting, Inc. of Ramsey, Minnesota the <br />Water Main Improvements, Old Highway 10 and Arden Manor Park Improvements project on <br />September 11,2000 for a total contract amount of$227,828.00. Three payments have been <br />made for a total of $206,787.45. <br /> <br />Project Status <br />With the exception of some minor punchlist items (sod restoration areas), the Contractor has <br />completed all contract items. The Contractor has been slow to address the final punchlist items <br />and has missed the fall window for sod placement. During the course of the project, the <br />Contractor performed work outside the contract including removal of buried concrete rubble <br />and some minor grading and fill in yards at the request of residents and with the approval of the <br />Engineer. The City Engineer estimates the value of the additional work to be approximately <br />$1,000.00. <br /> <br />The City Engineer estimates the cost to the City to complete the minor sod repair work to be <br />approximately $500.00. City employees could complete this work along with their plow damage <br />repairs in the spring. Due to lack of progress completing the punchlist items on the Contractor's <br />part, the City Engineer proposed to the Contractor to forfeit the claim for $1,000.00 of <br />additional work in lieu of closing out tbe contract at this time with no requirement to complete <br />the remaining punchlist items. The Contractor has agreed to this proposaL <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />The Arden Hills City Engineer recommends the Council approve Payment #4 (Final Payment) <br />to Dave Perkins Contracting, Inc. for $20,368.00. The final payment reflects the release of all <br />retainage. The final contract cost for the project is $227,155.45. Final payment will not be <br />released until the Contractor has supplied Lien Waivers from all sub-contractors. <br /> <br />cc: Thomas Moore/City of Arden Hills <br />Terry Post/City of Arden Hills <br />
