LAKE ELMO COUNCIL MINUTES - 9/20/83 7. ENGINEER'S REPORT, Larry Bohrer Page 6 A. Accept Work and Authorize Final Payment for: (i) Keats Avenue Improvement - (REF: TKDA letter dated 9/15/83 regarding this subject, Commission No. 7652.) Letter states work was completed; TKDA and District State Aid engineers have made final inspection; and final change order and payment have been concluded (final contract amount is about $3,500 under original contract amount and there's additional $800 damage since contractor did not complete the job on time). • Eder - Larry (Bohrer) and I discussed this at great length, and I would like a letter sent to the contractor saying that while the work meets the terms of the contract in a technical sense, it really is a poor quality job and we're quite disappointed. M/S/P Morgan/Mazzara to approve Change Order No. 2, accept the work, and authorize final payment to Husting and Engstrom for the Keats Avenue Improvement in the amount of $53,225.09. (Carried 5-0) (ii) Watertower Work by Allied - (REF: TKDA letter dated 9/15/83 regarding "Final Payment Water Tank Painting . . . Commission No. 7824.) Job is completed, final inspection report received from Twin City Testing, and specifications have been met. We recommend that this job be accepted by City and final payment be made. This contractor also had liquidated damages of $32,000 since work was not completed on time (64 days); but you have to look at actual damages suffered by the City due to the contractor's delay and there appears to be none except for some extra engineering time (8 hours at $300). • Eder - I agree that time period in July and August was probably beneficial in the long run. M/S/P Dunn/Morgan to assess Allied Painting & Renovating, Inc. $300.00 as liquidated damages for additional cost incurred by the City attributed to the delay and to authorize final payment in the amount of $4,207.00. (Carried 8-0) B. DNR Access on Lake DeMontreville - DNR has submitted final plans for boat launch and parking area which basically shows parking spaces as City requested and provides median as requested, plus landscaping plan. A public informational meeting was held, attended by Larry Whittaker; three property owners showed up and there weren't any objections. The County Highway Department has yet to comment on couple of concerns I had regarding (a) ditch along DeMontreville Trail for drainage and (b) elimination of plantings on median to provide adequate sight - distance. M/S/P Morgan/Mazzara to accept DNR Access Plan as presented by City Engineer. (Carried 5-0) • Whittaker - they have received two bids; should be under construction this fall with plantings in by next spring.
