staking and assist with project administration during construction with a not -to -exceed fee of $34,881. City staff will inspect construction. Notification: Notifications are not required for this case. Advertisements for bids will be published in the Anoka Union Herald and in Finance & Commerce on Friday, March 17th and Friday, March 24th, 2023, as required by State Statute. The project will also be advertised and bid electronically through QuestCDN. Time Frame/Observations/Alternatives: Observations: The plans as prepared and proposed for bids include the extension of Ferret Street to Bunker Lake Boulevard which carries the highest project cost. Bolton & Menk already completed the plans with the Ferret Street extension included before the private property owner on the north end of the site indicated they no longer supported the extension of Ferret Street through their property. Extending Ferret Street to Bunker Lake Boulevard provides for the most cost-effective extension of municipal utilities, and provides secondary access to properties within the HY-10 Ramsey plat area. Staff is therefore hopeful that while plans are out for bids further discussions can occur that will result in the property owner once again supporting the extension of Ferret Street due to the benefit this design would provide to all properties in the area, including theirs. If the property owner does not agree to allowing Ferret Street to be extended through his property, the plans will be modified accordingly and an addendum will be issued showing the reconstruction of Ferret Street ending at the existing cul-de-sac north of 147th Avenue. In order to complete plans and specifications, additional services were performed by Bolton & Menk in the amount of $27,998 as per the attached letter dated March 8, 2023. This work was needed to address specific design revisions requested by Staff in relation to the proposed ARAA sports dome project and other needs identified by staff during development of the HY-10 Ramsey Improvements plans. These costs will be spread across the various funding sources based on their applicable funding category. As always, final plans and specifications are not attached to this case to prevent potential bidders from using the attachments to submit a bid. This can be problematic in that they would then not receive any addendum that might be issued before submitting their bid, resulting in bids that are not based on the same plans. Alternatives: Alternative # 1: Motion to adopt Resolution #23-054 approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisements for bids for Improvement Project #23-12, HY-10 Ramsey Improvements. Alternative #2: Motion of other. Funding Source: The construction cost estimate for this project is $1,697,382. The estimated project costs, which include 23-percent indirect costs, totals $2,087,779.86.
