The <br />total proposed cost was $90,991.00. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br />During the project, changes and modifications were required. Staff approved the majority <br />of these changes, but in the interest of timing and progress there were a few modifications <br />that were not. Items included in the modifications were a change in the pipe material, <br />installation of a drinking fountain (required by the Minnesota Department of Health), and <br />a shelter for the exterior plumbing components. <br /> <br />At the end of the project, Staff received an invoice from RAK for an additional $22,536.39. <br />Staff met a number of times with RAK Construction, RAK’s Electrical and Plumbing sub- <br />contractors and well as will Minnesota/Wisconsin Playground, in order to understand the <br />additional increase. <br /> <br />After several meetings and working with RAK Construction, Staff was able to lower the <br />invoice to $14,500.00. The retainage for RAK Construction is $4,549.55, making the final <br />payment owed of $19,049.55. <br /> <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Maintain and Plan for Infrastructure. <br /> <br />Financial Impact: Budget adjustment will be required for the 2020 budget in the Park <br />Dedication Fund for $19,049.55. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends accepting the construction work and releasing final payment of <br />$19,049.55 for the installation of the splash pad installation to RAK Construction from the <br />Park Dedication account, 451-4470-7050. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Don Peterson, Public Works Director
