Award of Contract for Improvement Project ~95-18 (Sewer and Iter Extension to Rum River/47 Plaza Addition) [ankowski explained that on Friday, bids were opened for Improvement sewer and water extension to Rum River/47 Plaza Addition. The low bid was from Bonine which is still higher than the estimate and higher than the feasibility rep.art. The reason for the higher price is due to the high water table. He recommended ~twarding the bid because the bids were all quite competitive. He asked that the bid be awarded contingent upon receipt of the easements. We have one executed and have reached agreement with the other parties but we do not have the easements signed. Motion by Col~ncilmember Beyer and seconded by Councilmember Peterson to adopt Resolution g95~09-210 receiving bids and awarding contract for Improvement Project g95- 18 (the construction of watermain and sanitary sewer to service River/47 Plaza Addition) contingent upo~ the City Attorney reviewing and approving the bid in excess of 25% of the estimate and contingent upon obtaining the necessary easements.

Case //9: Follow Up to Construction Work Hours Issue Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that Council was given the opportunity to amend the construction w. only one coml: who submitte~ signatures in st Frolik dissemit Skyway Qualil Ramsey Eleme :~rk hours based on a complaint. The Council declined becaUse there was faint, plus the fact that the consmaction period is short. Mr. Juskiewicz, the initial complaint, has now visited 42 households and has gotten Ipport of changing the construction work hours to begin at 7:00 a.m. Ms. ,ated two handouts - one, a memo regarding a call from Rob Schimanski of y Homes, and one from Craig Kronholm, Construction Manager for the atary School Project, both in opposition to the change. Councilmembe~' Beyer stated she would have a problem changing the time because the complaint was tlue to the school construction and by the time this change would take effect, the school construction would be nearly finished. She still felt the change was for one person and is npt justified. Mayor Hardin fx~mmented that it looks as though most of the surrounding communities have a 7:00 a.oa. start time and felt that leaving the start time at 6:00 a.m. does not make Ramsey any m~re competitive. Councilmembek Beyer stated that construction weather is only temporary and that the City should consider the construction workers in the hot summer too. "We have to allow them the ability to g~.t their hours in. It's dangerous to work in extreme heat." Mayor Hardin felt he did not want this to get to the point of where people call in to see if they can start a 6:00 a.m. due to the weather, etc. City Council/September 12, 1995 Page 9 of 13
