Mr. JankOwski stated that $1,542 of the total amount equals the preparatory work <br />performed by the City. <br /> <br />Mr. Conn{lly inquired if that wouldn't he part of the work that they would be doing any <br />way. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski replied that this type of work is more extensive than the normal duties. <br /> <br />Mr. Conn¢lly suggested this is "double-dipping". He commented that the street was not <br />swept in ia:Ltimely fashion also and suggested that the amount paid to the contractor be less <br />because of that. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowsld stated he is sensitive to Mr. Connelly's objection and it is important to get <br />the gravel off the streets soon, however, he felt it was not in the City's best interest to <br />alienate ~ good contractor by charging for liquidated damages, and he is basing the <br />assessment on full payment to the contractor. <br /> <br />Mr. Connelly inquired about the type of guarantee there is on the sealcoating project. <br />Mayor cdlbertson suggested seven years. <br /> <br />Mr. Connelly stated there should not be grass growing between the cracks two weeks after <br />the road is done. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski stated there was crack filling performed but not all of the smaller cracks are <br />filled. <br /> <br />Marlin Parry, 16237 Kamacite Street N.W., Ramsey, stated he would like Mr. Jankowski <br />to visit Kamaeite Street. The street is not level, there is grass growing in the street cracks, <br />it was two months before the street was swept, the oil was not spread completely to the <br />edge of the asphalt and the asphalt is splitting out from being traveled on by the mail truck. <br />The quality is not up to par and he felt it should be inspected and then assessed <br />accordingly. <br /> <br />Renee Loso, 16554 Quartz Street N.W., Ramsey, stated that one of their lots does not <br />front on the street and the other lot is not buildable. She felt they should not be assessed <br />for the second lot. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski stated that the second lot has a garage built on it and that it could be <br />buildable. However, he added that it would be difficult to assess if the soil would support <br />a septic system. <br /> <br />Ms. Loso argued that the lot is not buildable and felt that this would not be a benefit to that <br />lot at all. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski explained that there are three lots in this project which front on a county <br />road. He added that vacant properties are also assessed. <br /> <br />Kevin Fossen, 16259 Jaspar Street N.W., Ramsey, stated he agrees that the project was of <br />poor quality and felt that if an adjustment could be gotten from the contractor, it should be <br />pursued, i He stated there are dips in the road, the gravel wasn't swept off, and there is a <br />large hole .that was dug out and should have been filled back in. <br /> <br />Public Hearing 093-01/City Council/October 12, 1993 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
