1 <br />City Engineer Hubmer explained that the 2016 street and utility project was previously proposed 2 <br />for Skycroft Drive south of 36th, however, based on a number of concerns and the possibility of 3 <br />partnering with the City of Columbia Heights, the 2016 street and utility improvement project is 4 <br />proposed to be changed to include street and utility reconstruction on Stinson Boulevard from 5 <br />37th Avenue to Silver Lane and on 37th Place from Stinson Boulevard to 3rd Avenue in Columbia 6 <br />Heights. He presented the project schedule and stated that three public information meetings 7 <br />will be held as well as the public hearing for the project and assessments and construction is 8 <br />anticipated to begin in May 2016 with substantial completion in October 2016. 9 <br /> 10 <br />Motion by Councilmember Stille, seconded by Councilmember Brever, to adopt Resolution 15-11 <br />041 Ordering Preparation of Feasibility Report for the 2016 Street and Utility Improvements. 12 <br /> 13 <br />Motion carried 4-0. 14 <br /> 15 <br />B.

He explained this project has been pending for a number of 21 <br />years and due to inflationary factors and other changes in the design to accommodate MWMO’s 22 <br />desires, contract costs were approximately $1.6 million; as a result, staff worked with the 23 <br />contractor and eliminated some of the design elements that resulted in significant cost savings 24 <br />without changing the operational performance of the facility and a Change Order has been 25 <br />negotiated resulting in a net decrease of $113,500 for a contract price of $1,381,360.
