The Project Engineer has prepared a Certification of Completion indicating that all work is completed including all punchlist items and is recommending the acceptance of the improvements and release of the final retainage. Project acceptance will initiate the one-year warranty period for the improvements. The one-year warranty will begin on June 9, 2015 and will extend through June 8, 2016. The final total construction costs for the project is $765,041.25 which is 2.2% over the original contract amount of $748,640.00. Added project costs were primarily due to the increased amount topsoil borrow and select granular borrow material used onsite. A greater amount of topsoil was imported to the site than was originally planned due to the lack of existing topsoil which could be salvaged on site. Extra select granular borrow material was imported to make soil corrections under the footing of the building. Soil corrections were needed to replace unforeseen poor soil conditions. The project is being partially funded through the MN-DEED water system grant. A breakdown of the project costs compared with the previously approved budget is shown below. Post Construction Costs Authorized Project Budget Costs Total Project Costs: $977,400 $977,400 Funding Source: DEED Water Agreement Funds: $263,516 $260,000 Water Enterprise Funds: $713,884 $717,400 Release of final payment is contingent upon the Contractor submitting final lien waivers.
