12/13/71 ed paying. This included a change order which should be signed. The contract amount of the.well was $14,693 plus the additional for the change order for a 12" casing. He noted that the original specs had called for a well delivering 6000 gallons per minutes; the new casing is producing as high as 18,000 gallons per minutes or 3 times as much. Mr. Rosengren moved to pay the final payments to Keys Well Drilling in the amount of $15,988.00 and to sign the change order. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Gotwald read his recommending letter on partial estimate No. 1 from Marvin Rehbein Contracting and recommended paying the amount of $113,941.93. Mr. Rosengren moved to pay the bill from Marvin Rehbein for work as of November 1, 1971 in the amount of $113,941.93. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Gotwald produced a change order from Marvin Rehbein which entailed a change in the original plans. Mr. Gotwald felt that the change was necessary and showed diagrams of the change.. It would eliminate the planned sewer lines in Pheasant Run and Captain's Place and would add sewer line across the golf course and in Cutlass Circle. The trenching will be different since this spot is extremely wet. The contractor wants approximately $24/ft. for trenching which is, $12 more per foot than for trenching in the eliminated area which is dry. George. had checked the trenching cost of the next lowest bidder and found that the Johnson Bros. price was .$32 /ft. at the same level, and that the other bidders were higher yet, so that he felt this request was reasonable. The amount of footage agreed to was a maximum of 567 feet to be trenched. Mr. Gotwald stated that the end result will be no greater than originally bid. There was discussion. Mr. Gotwald noted that the reason Mary had the low bid was that he knew that a considerable portion of the land was dry since clay. Mr. Gotwald stated that this change would give Jandric a chance to develop several additional lots along Cutlass, Circle; also, Jandric had no immediate plans to develop along Pheasant. Run and Captain's Place because this is low land which would require much filling and testing before building permits are allowed. Mr. Gotwald will produce tracings showing the as-builts when the sewer lines are done. He noted that the water line was to have been put across the golf course now anyway, and that it would have been difficult to have put in a deeper sewer line only 10 feey away later. Answering a ques- tion from Don Metier, George stated that the footage being eliminated is about 100 ft. The minimum depth is 10 ft., the deepest on this job is 18 ft. to 22 ft., this portion 14 ft. to 16 ft. deep. The difference in cost per foot between the 2 acreas is $12.00; the additional cost on the change order if they put in the entire 567 ft. will be about $400 more. We will get a refund if there is less footage. Carley has a fulltime inspector on the job wheneven ehbein turns a shovel. Mrs. Swanson asked who owned the golf course and was told Jandric. She was also told that the residential area wraps around the golf course, and that the area to be served with sewer was more apt to be used than that in the section being eliminated, as well as other information. Mr. Gotwald noted that the average elevation above the lake in that area is 8 or 9 feet. Mr. Bohjanen asked if this would come under the amound bid and was told yes. Mr. L'Allier reiterated what was included in the change order. Mr. Bohjanen noted that the project to be eliminated would have to be re- entered later as a separate improvement. Mr. Rosengren moved to approve the change order as requested by Marvin Rehbein Contracting Co. with the stipulation that the eliminations be included in writing on the change order. Seconded by Mr.
