Resolution 2010-038 Awarding Bid for the CP Rail Trail Crossing Project ~ Addendum No. 2 with Bolton ~ 1~Ienk, Inc. for Construction Services in an Amount of X40, 032 (continued) Mayor Harpstead stated City Attorney Jerry Filla has reviewed the request by Lametti & Sons to have the bid from Blackstone declared nonresponsive. City Attorney Filla indicated in his letter to the City that Blackstone Contractors bid was received in time and should be considered the lowest bid.. He stated he would support this recommendation as long as Blackstone Contractors is qualified. He stated he would vote in favor of the motion on the floor. Councilmember Holmes stated with the recommendation from City Attorney Filla she would also support Blackstone Contractors as the lowest bidder. She asked if the $40,000 addendum for Bolton & Menk is excessive for this project. Councilmember Holden stated this figure seemed reasonable given the fact the project was over $300,000. Civil Engineer Giga stated the City had been unsure about taking this project to construction at this time so the original contract with Bolton & Menk did not include construction engineering services. As the City has progressed through each step in the process the addendums have been added to the contract with Bolton & Menk.

She asked if these costs were in addition to the contract Arden Hills had with Roseville or if these costs were included in that contract. Civil Engineer Giga stated these costs are incorporated into the Joint Powers Agreement. The motion was called to a vote. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). B.
