CC Regular Session 7.3. Meeting Date: 06/ 13/2023 By: Bruce Westby, Engineering/Public Works Information Title: Adopt Resolution #23-128 Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract for Improvement Project #23-17; COR Tree Clearing Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #23-128 accepting bids and awarding a construction contract for Improvement Project #23-17; COR Tree Clearing. Background: Attached is The COR Analysis Update and the COR Infrastructure Design Services Proposal, both prepared by Bolton and Menk, Inc. On February 21, 2023, the Public Works Committee (PWC) identified the following immediate COR Infrastructure priorities; • Grading, lining and installing storm sewer for the Waterfront stormwater pond, • Filling low-lying COR properties using fill from the Waterfront pond excavation, • Reconstructing Zeolite Street, • Reconstructing and realigning the north end of Center Street, and • Constructing Ramsey Parkway between the Sunwood Drive roundabout and Willemite Street. The PWC felt the extension of Veterans Drive and the construction of Peridot Street were not a high priority at the time. Minutes from this meeting are attached. During the February 28, 2023, City Council work session, Council confirmed these priorities by consensus. Minutes from this meeting are also attached. Based on the identified priorities, Bolton and Menk, Inc. prepared the attached COR Infrastructure Design Services Proposal to identify the associated scope of services and estimated costs required for design services, as well as estimated construction costs. Per the attached proposal, significant progress can be made in 2023 to achieve the identified priorities in the near future. More specifically, in 2023 the following work can be completed; • Grading, lining and installing storm sewer for the Waterfront stormwater pond, • Filling low-lying COR properties using fill from the Waterfront pond excavation, • Design and prepare plans and specifications for Zeolite Street, • Design and prepare plans and specifications for the north end of Center Street, and • Design and prepare plans and specifications for Ramsey Parkway between the Sunwood Drive roundabout and Willemite Street. The first step in this process is to remove unwanted trees from The COR to allow mass grading operations to begin. On May 9th, the City Council adopted Resolution #23-107 approving Bolton & Menk's COR Infrastructure Design Services Proposal and authorizing advertisements for bids for Improvement Project #23-17, COR Tree Clearing.
