Item No: 8D Meeting Date: November 14, 2016 Type of Business: Consent Agenda Administrator Review: ____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Brian Erickson, Public Works Director Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8656, Authorize Stormwater Improvement at 2255 Lambert Avenue Introduction: The City Council is asked to approve the attached resolution awarding a contract to complete the stormwater improvement work at 2255 Lambert Avenue. Discussion: In December 2015 staff applied for, and ultimately received, a grant from the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) as part of their Urban Stormwater Remediation Cost-Share Program (Program). The agreement was approved by the City Council at their June 27, 2016 meeting. At the October 24, 2016 Council meeting, Resolution 8651 approved the design and authorized the City Engineer to seek quotes for completing this work. Three companies were contacted and provided with a bid package to complete the work. Those companies were: • Douglas-Kerr Underground, LLC • Grade A Excavating • Northwest Asphalt, Inc. Of these firms, two quotes were received and reviewed by the City Engineer. Douglas-Kerr Underground provided the lowest responsive quote of $67,216.60 and is the recommended firm for this project. The Engineer’s Estimate for this project was $60,310.00; however, that estimate did not include any additional granular borrow for backfill. That would have added approximately $3,500 to the construction cost. The funding for this work would come from the Storm Water Fund (745-4415-7050) which included $50,000.00 in the budget for this work. There is also an additional $25,000 in the budget for other storm water projects. At this point, there are no additional projects planned for 2016. Staff previously proposed using $1,752.50, but would increase that to $6,019.93 to fund this work. In addition, the grant funding from RCWD is $19,292.00. This results in a total funding amount of $75,311.93. This funding would cover engineering, construction and construction contingency. As the project now has a bid and is well defined staff recommends reducing the contingency to 5%. The table shows the total project estimate and funding for this work.
