P.W. CASE REQUEST FOR CHANGE ORDER TO IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 00-35, 141st AVENUE NW STREET AND UTILITY CONSTRUCTION By: Brian E. Olson, City Engineer Background: As you may recall the extension of 141st Avenue NW was discussed last February at the Public Works Committee meeting and it was decided to stop the construction of 141st Avenue NW at the western edge of the property owned by St. Paul terminals. Staff was also authorized to install water main on the north side of the existing St. Paul Terminals property, repave the area that we disturb, and place barricades on the southern half of 141st Avenue NW. St. Paul Terminals have agreed to give the City the necessary easement to construct a wider road (see attachments), abandon their own well (which would be on the property that they give us), and hook up to the City water supply at their own cost if the City of Ramsey waives the water trunk and lateral charges. The Change Order would be estimated as follows: 220 L.F. Concrete C&G = $3,500 330 C.Y. Excavation = $ 700 Class 5 Aggregate Base = $ 500 Binder Course = $ 700 Wear Course = $ 600 Total $6,000 Recommendation: It is staff's recommendation to enter into a Change Order to authorize Erickson Construction to install approximately 220 feet of concrete curb and gutter to more clearly delineate the shift of traffic and to waive the water connection charges associated with Lot 1 of the St~ Paul Terminals property. Council Action: Motion to enter into a Change Order to authorize Erickson Construction to install approximately 220 feet of concrete curb and gutter to more clearly delineate the shift of traffic and to waive the water connection charges associated with Lot 1 of the St. Paul Terminals property.
