As we discussed, the City of <br />Fridley bids street maintenance on an annual basis through a 10-city JPA which the City <br />of Coon Rapids administers. We chip seal regularly on an 8-year rotation, excluding <br />streets that are to have major rehabilitation within the coming five years. We use a <br />modified 1/8” trap rock with polymer oil, and have had very good results in recent <br />years. <br /> <br />Stinson Boulevard from 73rd Avenue to Osborne Road is in our project area this year, <br />and half of that street is in the City of Mounds View (4,618 s.y. area). We included this <br />street segment our bid quantities, and have flexibility to direct the contractor to remove <br />this area before construction. <br /> <br />We received the attached bid on chip sealing for our Project ST2016-10, with the low <br />bid from Pearson Brothers. This bid was awarded in April, and was 8% below estimate. <br /> <br />I have incorporated the City of Mounds View quantity into a summary which is also <br />attached, and includes 2% administrative cost for bid administration (paid to the City of <br />Coon Rapids, who administers the JPA), and 5% construction administration and testing <br />cost (paid by the City of Fridley). The total cost for the City of Mounds View would be <br />$7,036.35, equating to $1.52 per square yard. Note that there is little risk of change, as <br />we typically pay the plan quantity for this work. <br /> <br />I am requesting your decision on whether or not you would like us to go ahead with the <br />work on the east side of Stinson Boulevard. I am hoping that you can respond no later <br />than June 14, as our contractor has advanced their schedule to start on that date with
