ADMINISTRATION - Dan Schluender, City Engineer
Title
AUTHORIZE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH AMES CONSTRUCTION FOR USE OF PROPERTY ON 85TH AVENUE AND WEST 35W SERVICE DRIVE
Background
Ames Construction, the prime contractor of the 35 W MNpass project, has approached staff concerning the potential to use the city property on 85th Avenue and the West 35W Service Drive, see attached location map. The contractor is proposing to use the site to store materials for the project such as, aggregate stockpiles, concrete barrier staging area, concrete pipe, manholes, light poles, rebar, and equipment. Please note, they are not proposing any crushing or batch plant operations.
The use of the site would be limited to the east half of the property and not disturb the existing trees on the west half of the property. Once finished with their work they would restore the site to its original condition. The contractor would access the site directly from 35W.
If an agreement can be made between the two parties, the contractor may start using the site as early as June 2019.
Recommendation
By motion, authorize the City Manager to sign an Agreement with Ames Construction for use of property on 85th Avenue and West 35W Service Drive.
