BARR March 12, 1999 Barr Engineering Company 4700 West 77th Street • Minneapolis, MN 55435 -4803 Phone: 612- 832 -2600 • Fax: 612- 832 -2601 Minneapolis, MN • Hibbing, MN • Duluth, MN • Ann Arbor, MI • Jefferson City, MO Mr. Joel Hanson City Administrator City of Little Canada 515 Little Canada Road Little Canada, MN 55117 Dear Joel: At the meeting with the Ramsey County Public Works Department on March 2, Terry Maurer, Jerry Auge, and Terry Noonan all had the understanding that Watershed District (and Barr) were to complete all of the B2 Drainage Improvement Work (Design, Contract Documents, and Construction Contract Administration and Oversight) except that work associated with the roadway milling, repaving, and curbing. This had not been either mine or Cliffs understanding to date, but the District is willing to complete the project in this manner, provided all the costs are allocated according to the agreed -upon responsibilities. The attached cost estimates represent the current understanding the Ramsey- Washington Metro Watershed has regarding costs associated with the B2 Drainage Improvements/Roadway Reconstruction Project. The costs shown in the tables are estimates based on RWMWD staff completing the design, developing and administering the construction contract documents, conducting construction management activities and providing construction oversight and contract closeout. The costs associated with the engineering (including costs to date as well as future costs) are to be allocated based on actual construction costs. Project bidding will be broken down into work activities identical to those shown on the attached summary. The actual engineering costs will be proportioned at the same percentage as the actual constructions costs. The costs shown in the attached tables are estimates only, and the final costs for each responsible party will be based on those amounts actually incurred. The estimates do not include work associated with the Gervais Beach water quality pond construction, beach migration barrier, and lake sediment removal project. It is the District's understanding that Ramsey County will complete the sediment excavation with their own equipment and County employees. If this is not the County's understanding, we can also include this work on the Gervais Beach water project in a similar manner. Please review these estimates and contact either me at (612) 832 -2808 or Cliff Aichinger at (651) 704 -2089 if you have questions. If this understanding is correct, please reply in writing. Thank you for your continued cooperation in this joint effort. Brad Lindaman Professional Engineer BJL/cnl Enclosures (3) c: Terry Noonan, Ramsey County Public Works Terry Maurer, Howard R.
