515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Hanson & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: May 20, 1994 <br />RE: 1993 Improvement Project Change Orders <br />MAYOR <br />Raymond G. Hanson <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve MoreIan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Attached is Change Order #2 for the above - referenced project. <br />The City Engineer has recommended approval of the change order as <br />presented. <br />Part I is for the drain tile repairs adjacent to the Angelo <br />Scalze property. These repairs were needed to collect drainage <br />from the Vanderbie tile and to tie it into the storm sewer <br />system. This prevents water from flowing through a broken <br />section of pipe on to Mr. Scalze's property. It also eliminated <br />construction of a catch basin at the intersection of Desoto <br />Street and Allen Avenue. <br />Part II relates to other repairs for the Vanderbie drain tile. <br />During the course of construction of the utilities, the drain <br />tile was encountered at various locations. This needed to be <br />tied into the storm sewer system and /or repaired to ensure <br />continued operation of the tile. <br />Part III is for the addition of sewer and water services for the <br />Becker lot on Alien Avenue. This is an extremely high amount to <br />pay for these services. However, they were installed after the <br />road had been paved. It was my decision to install these <br />services due to the fact that the Becker's had been assessed for <br />them and the likelihood that the lot will be developed in the <br />future. I felt it wise to get the services installed and let the <br />freeze /thaw cycle of the winter have an opportunity to act before <br />the final lift of asphalt is put on that street. The costs are <br />high due to the depth of the sanitary sewer system, the amount of <br />material that had to be excavated and replaced with Class V, and <br />some additional patch work for the street. I have discussed this <br />matter with Mr. Frattalone as to the reasonableness of charges. <br />He feels this is the amount due him for the work performed. <br />Harlan Olson of Bonestroo has indicated that while the charges <br />seem high, the nature of this work does not make them <br />unreasonable. <br />Page 114 <br />
