Department Approval l�'�, Jy REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 4/13/09 Item No.: 7.e Acting City Manager Approval �� . �: �t Item Description: Adopt a Resolution to Accept the Work Completed, Authorize Final Payment of $17,299.55 and commence the One-Year Warranty Period on the 2008 Sanitary Sewer Lining Project. BACKGROUND On August 25, 2008 the City Council awarded the 2008 Sanitary Sewer Lining Project to Veit & Company, Inc., of Rogers, Minnesota. The work for this contract was finished in December, and the contractor has requested final payment. This project consisted of 3,735 lineal feet of sanitary sewer main lining in areas throughout the City identified as having root intrusion or infiltration problems, as well as 244 lineal feet of storm sewer lining. POLICY OBJECTIVE City policy requires that the following items be completed to finalize a construction contract: • Certification from the City Engineer verifying that all of the work has been completed in accordance with plans and specifications. • A resolution by the City Council accepting the contract and beginning the one-year warranty. FINANCIAL IMPACTS The final contract amount, $167,085.10, is $19,034.90 less than the awarded amount of $186,120. This represents a decrease in the contract of 10%. The cost decrease is the result of the actual lined length of sanitary sewer being less than the estimated length. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Since all necessary items have been completed in accordance with project plans and specifications, staff recommends the City Council approve a resolution accepting the work completed as the 2008 Sanitary Sewer Lining Project and authorize final payment of $17,299.55. REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION Approve the resolution accepting the work completed as 2008 Sanitary Sewer Lining Project, starting the one-year warranty and authorizing final payment of $17,299.55.
