LITTLE CANADA PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT 515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117-1600 (651) 766 -4029 / FAX: (651) 766 -4048 www. ci.1 i ttl e -can ad a. m n. us TO: FROM: DATE: MEMORANDUM JIM MORELAN, Director (651) 766-4045 DON BOWMAN, Program Coordinator (651) 766 -4041 DEREK ANDERSON, Program Coordinator (651) 766 -4041 BRAD VOLK, Maintenance Supervisor (651) 766 -4056 Mayor Blesener and Members of the City Council Jim Morelan, Parks & Recreation Director November 15, 2005 RE: Pioneer Park Warning Track Installation Additional Compensation to Contractor In September, 2004, the City awarded the low bid of Peterson Companies in the amount of $37,835 for warning track installation in Pioneer Park. Upon award of the bid, the contractor began the work. Due to the wet fall weather, the project could not be completed in 2004. The contractor then requested authorization to finish the project in the Spring of 2005. However, given that league play began on May 1, 2005, the contractor was not allowed to complete the project until this fall since there was not adequate time to complete without interfering with summer Leagues. Based on the increase in agglime and fuel costs from the fall of 2004 to the fall of 2005, the contractor is requesting additional compensation of $2,188.27 for this work (invoice attached). The City Engineer has reviewed this request and agrees that it accurately reflects agglime unit price increases as well as fuel price increases. In reviewing the request for additional compensation and comparing it to bids received this year for the construction of two other warning tracks, it would be my recommendation that Peterson Companies be compensated an additional $1,695.00 rather than the $2,188.27 requested. The additional $1,695.00 plus the $37,835 awarded price equals the low bid that was received for the other warning track work that was done this year.
