CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 01/23/2018 Submitted For: Patrick Brama, Administrative Services By: Patrick Brama, Administrative Services 4. 3. Information Title Adopt Resolution # 18-020 Authorizing Final Payment to Sauter and Sons for Demolition of Former Sunfish Lake Gas Station Purpose/Background: Purpose/Background: 6401 Highway 10 was purchased by the City of Ramsey via the State R.O.W. Acquisition Loan Fund (RALF Program) in June 2017. The City purchased 6401 Highway 10 with the intent to demolish the existing blighted building and to clean up the site. The City hired Hakanson Anderson to develop plans and specs for this project, and to manage the demolition process. Hakanson Anderson completed plans and specs, and obtained quotes from contractors in September 2017. A contract was awarded to Sauter and Son's to demolish and clean up the site in October 2017. Demolition and clean up was completed in November 2017. The purpose of this case is to make payment to Sauter and Son for their work. The next step in this process is to lay asphalt over the former building pad location (currently gravel). That work will occur in the early summer 2018. Staff is working with Hakanson Anderson now to develop plans and go out for quotes. For detailed background information, please reference the attached previous cases (CCRS October 2016, CCRS January 2017, CCRS April 2017, CCRS July 2017, CCWS August 2017, October 2017 CCRS).
