515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 -4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: April 8, 1999 <br />RE: County Road B2 Cost Participation Revisions <br />MAYOR <br />Michael 1. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Attached is a letter dated March 12, 1999 from Brad Lindaman of Barr Engineering. In his letter <br />and attached correspondence, Mr. Lindaman wishes to clarify the cost participation necessary to <br />enact the drainage improvements to County Road B2 (Edgerton to Arcade) as had been <br />previously discussed. As you may recall, the Council had authorized $38,950 at our meeting on <br />January 13, 1999. However, Mr. Lindaman has pointed out that these did not include design and <br />inspection costs because they were assuming that work would be undertaken by Ramsey County. <br />He has anticipated (hopefully on the high side) engineering expenses totaling $40,900. Our pro <br />rata share based on the costs of construction for the improvements we are responsible for would <br />yield an additional cost of $18,600. He has also provided for contingency amounts totaling <br />$9,300 (estimated at 30% of construction). This yields a total amount we could potentially be <br />responsible for to $66,850. It should be kept in mind that $7,500 of this amount is for easement <br />acquisition that we believe we can do at a lesser cost. <br />While this does represent a substantial increase in anticipated costs, I believe it is a fair <br />allocation of the costs to be incurred. I am also hopeful that the final costs will be lower than <br />these estimates thereby minimizing the impact to our budget. Therefore, I would recommend <br />approval of the revised amount of $66,850 to complete the County Road B2 drainage projects as <br />had previously been discussed. I would further recommend that these funds would come from <br />our infrastructure capital improvement fund. <br />JRH:kpp <br />cc: Terry Maurer, City Engineer <br />Page 42 <br />
