BARB December 8, 1998 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 Paul Heuer Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik & Assoc. 2335 West Highway 36 St. Paul, MN 55113 Dear Paul: Attached is a copy of the fax I sent to you on March 2, 1998. As a part of that fax you will find a "Final Payment Recommendation Summary" table''ti✓ith a total recommended for the Ditch 7A portion of the project ($96,782.83). Also, as a part of that recommendation table, you will find in the "Other Invoices" section, "Authorized Extras" for $1,294.25 and $275.58. These items correspond to Ryan's request for payment letter, Items #1 and #6, dated 12/03/98: With respect to Ryan's Item #7, Ryan chose to install wood fiber blanket instead of disc- anchoring mulch in the specified area. Our onsite observer, Andy Hogenson, approved that'request but did not direct it. This area was included in the quantity for Item 18 ( "Seeding Including Disc Mulch, Fertilizer and 4 -Inch Topsoil ") of the enclosed "Final Payment Recommendation Summary" table, and payment for restoration work in this area was also included in the $96,782.83 payment recommendation. Therefore, no additional payment for Item #7 is recommended. With respect to Ryan's Item #8, the manholes were not initially installed at the specified elevation shown on the revised plan sheet dated 6/16/97. This plan sheet was a part of the Watershed's Change Order Number 1, signed by Ryan on 8/11/97. The catch basins were first installed higher than the specified elevation. Ryan was required to cut the manhole down to the appropriate elevation, since it did not meet the specifications. Therefore, no additional payment is recommended for Item #8. In addition to the attached information, enclosed is a copy of a check register from the Watershed District that indicates the City of Little Canada was issued check #15693 on 02/25/98 for $96,782.83. This check was from the District for Final Payment for the work detailed in the "Final Payment Recommendation Summary" table. Therefore, since the District has already made payment to the City for all the work in the table, it is the City's responsibility to pay Ryan for it. That payment should include payment for Ryan's Item's #1 and #6. The District considers their portion of the construction project for Ditch 7A paid in full. Please recommend to the City of Little Canada that Ryan be paid for all of the items detailed in the "Final Payment Recommendation Summary" table. If you have any questions, please call me at 832 -2808. Sincerely, Brad Lindaman BL/cnl c: Cliff Aichinger, RWMWD Joel Hanson, City of Little Canada 202177 Page 58 RDCEIV D >> - 9 1998
