URS e Ms. Michelle Wolfe June 22, 2004 Page 2 During the final design of the project the scope of watermain improvements was increased over that anticipated in the feasibility report as a result of the need to replace a segment of watermain conflicting with storm sewer and in anticipation of the need to replace nearly all of the hydrants and gate valves in the neighborhood. The final estimated cost of roadway improvements also increased over the feasibility report, to address additional driveway and restoration work anticipated throughout the neighborhood as well as to account for the general increase in construction costs that were occurring throughout Spring 2004. The following table illustrates the relationship between the project costs (construction plus engineering and inspection) estimated in the feasibility report and final engineer's estimate with the actual project costs based upon the low bid received by Arnt Construction: Category Feasibility Final Estimate Actual Cost Roadway $ 601,000 $ 650,000 $ 697,350 e Storm Sewer $ 205,000 $ 180,000 $ 186,850 Watermain $ 38,000 $ 120,000 $ 143,500 Sanitary Sewer $ 245.000 $ 210.000 $ 20 1.000 Totals $1,089,000 $1,160,000 $1,228,700 Approximately $230,000 in assessments have been levied for this improvement project which represents approximately 33% of the total roadway project costs. Funding for storm sewer, watermain and sanitary sewer improvements will be made from the appropriate enterprise funds. No other major capital improvements projects are programmed for the enterprise funds during 2004. There are seven properties within the project area which will require permanent roadway easements to be dedicated to rectify existing encroachment of pavement onto private property. The City Engineer and City Attorney have contacted all of the residents and are in the process of obtaining those easements. All residents have indicated a willingness for the project to proceed and will not hold up construction operations while the easements are being executed and filed with the county. URS and Arden Hills have experience working with the low bidder, Amt Construction Company, Inc. including the 2003 PMP project. The Contractor is capable of successfully completing the scope of work included with this contract. .
