<br />Schifsky is still in business, Schifsky is still the contractor of record, Schifsky still has retainage and a bond, Schifsky will remain as the General Contractor on the job. Whom they <br /> contract as subcontractor to do the work, is their contractual right. <br />The contract requires all work, including warranty work to be completed by the end of June, 2024. Note – Contractor could request an extension but must justify. <br />Staff will be investigating the “crumbling tar” and following up as appropriate. <br />“And then, no response on if they took care of that sewer issue, why did they go back to the original contractor that did the damage, we don’t get any answers, and are we going to pay <br /> for that when we have to line it, why aren’t they going to take it out and do it correctly the first/ah second time correctly, why do we have to wait, why was it not done correctly <br /> when they found it, we have no answers.” <br />On February 13, 2024, the morning after the council meeting, I emailed you the following: <br />The city is very aware of this and has had it repaired twice, by contractors who are qualified and have done this work before. They are chosen thru the bidding process established in <br /> state statute. No one is quite sure what is happening but we’re working at depths in excess of 25’ and once we backfill there is limited diagnostic ability – other than putting the <br /> camera thru. We will be trying the vibration technique first given the alternative of digging again. <br />Nothing has changed since the February 13, 2024. <br />We are working to schedule the contractor that does the vibration technique this spring once the frost comes out and the soils stabilize. <br />While the weather outside has people thinking it is Spring, the Date is still February and we have plenty of winter that could occur. Director Peterson mentioned that the MnDOT just <br /> put into place Spring Road Restrictions, these typically do not go into place until mid to late March depending on the weather. Contractors typically do not start work until these restrictions <br /> have been lifted – typical year is early May. <br /> “And then Don brought up, it was saying, it was not, nothing was coming out of our project on this project, well, $17,000 worth of wrong wire was put in, and guess what, it came out <br /> of our taxpayer money, $17,000 that was not supposed to, no answers, why who, and then say there’s a loophole in the contract, did our attorney sign that, where there was a loophole <br /> that did not make them responsible, I don’t know, I’m still going to do some investigating.” <br />We discussed this when you stopped in a week or so ago and I explained/shared with you the following. <br />The $17,000 is related to lighting on the trail which is a separate bid but was done in conjunction with the street project (the trail was the project with lighting added) <br />The wrong wire was ordered as the poles are manufactured for LED and the channel is smaller as the LED use less energy. The incorrect wire for the style of pole and light did not match, <br /> this was discovered when the electrician tied to wire the poles after they were set. Several options were looked into with the less costly option chosen. <br />The attorney did review the contract. The City Attorney reviews all contracts and agreements for the City. <br />The contractor put in the wire that was called for in the plans and specs, a change order was needed to correct the error that occurred, in all projects there is bult in a
