Item No.8E <br />Meeting Date:December 22, 2008 <br />Type of Business: CA <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business <br />City Administrator Review _______ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To:Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From:Joe Rhein, Consulting Engineer <br />Item Title/Subject:Resolution 7390 Accepting the Pinewood Storm <br />Sewer Repair Project and Authorizing Final Payment <br />Background: <br />On June 23, 2008 the City Council adopted Resolution 7298 awarding a <br />construction contract for the Pinewood Storm Sewer Repair Project to Penn <br />Contracting Incorporated of Minneapolis, Minnesota in the amount of $27,104.00. <br />Discussion: <br />Penn Contracting Incorporated has requested that acceptance and final payment <br />be made by the City for the Pinewood Storm Sewer Repair Project. All work has <br />been satisfactorily completed in accordance with the contract plans and <br />specifications. <br />The necessary contract documents have been provided. A copy of Request for <br />Payment No. 2 & Final is included with this Staff Report, along with a project <br />summary letter that provides a recap of the construction schedule and cost. <br />The original contract amount was $27,104.00. There were no change orders to <br />the project. The actual final construction cost is $28,854.00, and the final <br />payment amount is $2,045.95. <br />As noted in the project summary letter, the difference in the original contract <br />amount and the actual final construction cost is due primarily to a greater amount <br />of poor soil being encountered beneath the storm sewer pipe than anticipated. <br />Although the final construction amount exceeded the original contract amount, <br />the final construction amount is still less than the amount of the second lowest <br />bid received on the project. The project cost is also within the approved budget.
