• <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING DATE: <br />TOPIC: <br />AGENDA ITEM 6H <br />Michael Grochala <br />November 26, 2007 <br />Resolution No. 07 -195, Approving Change Order No. <br />8, Lake Drive /35W Improvement Project <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 Vote Required <br />BACKGROUND: <br />On May 14, 2007 the City Council awarded the Lake Drive /I -35W Improvement Project <br />to Lunda Construction Company in the amount of $7,531,701.71. The east side of the <br />bridge is nearing completion. The traffic switch from the old bridge to the new one is <br />completed and the old bridge was removed as of November 17. <br />Change Order No. 8 is required to minimize the back slope from the Marshan Infiltration <br />pond adjacent to an existing residential property. As currently graded, the back slope is <br />to steep to insure stabilization. The neighboring property owner has also raised <br />concerns regarding the steepness of the slope and screening issues. While the pond <br />can be regraded to address the stabilization concerns, staff is recommending the <br />addition of the retaining wall to provide a more suitable grade and landscaping to the <br />area adjacent to the residential property. <br />The total cost of Change Order No. 8 is $8,662.49. Funding for unanticipated <br />construction expenses was included within the project budget. With the approval of <br />Change Order No. 8 the project budget will still include $227,385 for contingency <br />purposes. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 07 -195. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
