EN HILLS <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: August 3 0, 2010 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br />Patrick Klaers, City Administrator <br />FROM: Kristine Giga, Civil Engineer <br />SUBJECT: Elmer L. Andersen Memorial Connections Trail- Payment #5 <br />Back�round <br />The City of Arden Hills awarded American Liberty Construction, Inc., of Rockford, <br />Minnesota, the Elmer L. Andersen Memorial Connections Trail Proj ect on February 22, <br />2010, for a total contract amount of $45 8, 800. <br />Discussion <br />This pay request includes work completed through July 3 0, 2010. The payment is for <br />$76,167.78 and includes grading and aggregate base, concrete curb and gutter, pedestrian <br />ramps, installation of lighting, speed signs and crosswalk beacons, and turf establishment. <br />The contract stated that the final completion date for this proj ect was to be June 25, 2010. <br />The contractor requested an extension due to the fact that the private utilities had not <br />been relocated, and additional work was requested by the City, including the culvert <br />replacement under the trail leading to the lift station, as well as the sanitary sewer repair <br />along the trail connection to Venus Avenue. City staff responded to the contractor's <br />request, originally extending completion to August 13. Because Quest did not complete <br />their relocations in a timely manner, final completion was extended to Friday, September <br />10. The work will be substantially complete by September 3, prior to school beginning. <br />Punch list items will be addressed the week of September 6. <br />Financial Implications <br />The construction costs for this proj ect will be paid for using grant monies (ARRA- <br />American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, SRTS- Safe Routes to School, and DNR <br />Local Trail Connection Program.) These are reimbursable grant programs which require <br />recipients to front proj ect costs and be reimbursed during the course of the proj ect. <br />Construction payments and reimbursements will be coded to the Special Revenue- Park <br />Fund. <br />City Council Meeting <br />\�1Vletro-inet\ardenhills\PR&PVV�Engineering\Council_Actions�2010\8-30- l OMemo_ELATrail_Payment#S.doc <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
