Title
AMEND CONTRACT WITH OMANN BROTHERS PAVING INC. FOR THE NAPLES STREET TRAIL IMPROVEMENT (IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 11-18)
Background
At their meeting on August 2, 2012, City Council approved a contract with Omann Brothers Paving Inc. in the amount of $85,193.76 for the construction of a trail along Naples Street from 95th Avenue north to the Park-N-Ride lot. Also at that meeting, City Council authorized a 10% contingency to bring the total project budget to $93,713.13. In the course of construction, the embankment for the trail was required to be altered from a 3:1 slope to a 4:1 slope to provide a safe side slope per the MnDOT permit for the trail construction. The increase in embankment required additional compensatory storage to be added to the existing storm pond per the requirement of the watershed permit. The on site solution was to utilize the common borrow from the adjacent storm pond and place it as embankment fill. These quantities ran over the contract amount and the 10% contingency, with the final contract amount totaling $99,715.93.
In order to fund the construction of said pedestrian trail, the City of Blaine applied for and secured an Energy Efficient Community Block Grant (EECBG), and there are sufficient funds to cover these amended costs.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the resolution.
