Consideration of Resolution No. 02 —190, Approving Change Order No. 1 and Pay Request No. 1, Twilight Acres Utility Improvements, Jim Studenski — City Engineer Studenski advised at the September 10, 2001, meeting the City Council received the bids for the referenced project. The low bid was received from Volk Sewer and Water, Inc. in the amount of $257,373.50. Since that time the City has had to obtain the well variances from the residents. Not all the residents were cooperative and changes had to be made to the plan design. The Minnesota Department of Health also required additional changes related to the locations of the existing wells. City staff has continued to move forward with the project due to the failing septic system issues that initiated this project, including receiving CDBG Funding and the costs already incurred by the city to this point. • The Change Order addresses the change in quantities and bid items associated with the well variances and Minnesota Department of Health. It is staff's recommendation to approve Change Order No. 1, which results in a total project cost increase of $33,108.90 and authorizes Payment No. 1 of $90,123.03. Councilmember O'Donnell moved to adopt Resolution No. 02 —190, as presented. Councilmember Dahl seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
