8 POLICY OBJECTIVE <br />9 City policy requires that the following items be completed to finalize a construction contract: <br />10 • Certification from the City Engineer verifying that all of the work has been completed in <br />11 accordance with plans and specifications. <br />12 • A resolution by the City Council accepting the contract and beginning the one -year warranty. <br />13 FINANCIAL IMPACTS <br />14 The final contract amount, $1,261,404.77, is $107,042.32 more than the awarded amount of <br />15 $1,154,362.45. This represents an increase in the contract of 9 %. The cost increases area result <br />16 of actual contract quantities being greater than estimated and additional work needed to complete <br />17 the project. Cost overruns for the project included additional curb removal and replacement as <br />18 well as additional sidewalk removal and replacement. We also encountered unexpected <br />19 conditions in the subgrade on the Farrington street segment that required us to complete <br />20 additional excavation in order to provide a quality product for this road rehabilitation work. The <br />21 additional work was documented through 3 project change orders. These change orders included <br />22 construction of additional catch basins, reconstruction of manholes, construction of pedestrian <br />23 ramps, and additional utility work. Decisions regarding these changes needed to be made while <br />24 the work was being completed, not allowing for the processing of a change order prior to the <br />25 execution of the work. <br />26 This project was financed using Municipal State Aid funds, utility funds, and street infrastructure <br />27 funds. <br />28 STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />29 The work that was completed was in accordance with project plans and specifications, staff <br />3o recommends the City Council approve a resolution accepting the work completed as the West <br />31 Snelling Drive Sidewalk Project and authorize final payment of $63,070.25. <br />32 REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION <br />33 Approve the resolution accepting the work completed as 2010 Contract B, starting the one -year <br />34 warranty and authorizing final payment of $63,070.25. <br />Prepared by: Debra Bloom, City Engineer <br />Attachments: A: Resolution <br />B: Certification from City Engineer <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
