This represents a decrease in contract of approximately 7.8%. The decrease was due to <br />actual quantities for this project being lower than estimated. <br />The costs for this contract will be shared 50150 with Ramsey County. This cost share practice is based <br />on Ramsey County assuming responsibility for drainage of their right-of-way and the City assuming <br />responsibility for the private property drainage. The city's share of the cost ($27,743.50) will be <br />financed using storm utility funds. The City will invoice Ramsey County for their share of this project. <br />Staff recommendation: All necessary items have been completed in accordance with proj ect plans and <br />specifications. Since all items have been completed as outlined in the policy regarding final contract <br />acceptance, staff recommends the City Council approve a resolution accepting the work completed as <br />Victoria Street Storm Sewer Project and authorizing final payment of $2,774.�5.
