CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 07/10/2012 By: Shane Nelson, Engineering/Public Works Information Title: Sunwood Drive Construction Services Contract 7. 6. Background: This item was discussed at the June 26, 2012 regular City Council meeting. The City has received proposals from the two engineering firms to provide construction services for the Sunwood Drive / Armstrong Boulevard project. Both proposals break the work into four major components, summarized as follows by firm: Landform Task Total Project Engineering $14,300 Construction Staking $48,600 Contract Admin and Inspection $165,800 Record Plans $6,400 * Total $235,100 * Does not include Record Plans for the Armstrong Boulevard portion WSB & Associates Task Total Project Engineering $12,200 Construction Staking $48,608 Construction Admin and Inspection $96,996 Record Plans / Project Close Out $16,924 Total $176,228 It is important to note that both proposals are estimates based upon hourly rates and anticipated work effort. Former City Engineer, Tim Himmer, recommended that the City Council award the Project Engineering, Construction Staking, and Record Plans components to WSB & Associates with the City performing the Construction Administration and Inspection. In addition, he recommended that the City Council approve a Project Engineering budget to Landform in the amount of $15,000 to assist in the interpretation of their portion of the design. Mr. Himmer also advised setting aside a legal servieces budget of $15,000. There was some discussion of whether or not the HRA's contract with Landform would preclude the City from awarding the construction services to WSB & Associatates. The City Attorney has been asked to review the contract between the HRA and Landform and provide an opinion. There is some urgency to award the construction services contract during the July loth Council meeting as the construction contract has been awarded and the 2012 construction season is well under way. Recommendation:
