Modon by Councihnember Pearson, seconded by Councihnember Olson, to recommend to City Council that Chanoe Order No. 1 with LaTour Construction be approved in the amount of $14,184 and extending the contract completion date by 20 days. Action: Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. Case ~3 Consider Change Order for Improvement Project 05-22 Ramsey Town Center Phase 2 Segment 1 Buckground: This project includes the construction of Civic Center Drive betxveen Zeolite and Sapphire . Streets. One element of this street inch]des a "bump out" in the street section to accommodate tbs bus loading zone in front of the mmticipal parkhig structure. Concrete pavement is required through the area that busses will be braking and accelerating to prevent rutting and shoving that would be anticipated if bituminous pavement were utilized. The plans called for a 10 foot wide concrete bus parking section on the south side of the street, but made an accommodation for only a five foot segment on the north side. If constructed in this manner only the right side on tbs bus wheels would be braking on concrete pavement. In order to rectify this deficiency two options have been considered. Option One would be to mill out the base course of bituminous pavement adjacent to the concrete and place seven foot concrete section adjacent to the existing concrete curb. This would provide a wide etlough width to provide an adequate section for stopping buses. However, this section would result in having a concrete section protruding into an otherwise bituminous pavement on the north side of the street for a distance of approximately 180 feet. On the south side of the street the concrete for the bus stop is located entirely south of the extension of the cm'b line leading into the bus stop "bump out". Although functional, there are aesthetic concerns with this alternative. The estimated cost for this option is $11,635.00. It is suggested that the concrete section be tapered for a more streamlined appearance. Option Two would be to place a full width concrete section through a 250 foot section of Civic Center Drive, by removing 37 feet of the bituminous base course and replacing it cntimly with a concrete section. The estimated cost for this option is $106,128.00. Motion to recommend to City Council that a change order be authorized for Option One in the amount ors 11,635.00. Action: Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. Case Consider CI auge O 'der for improvement Project 05-23 Ebon}, Street Sewer attd Water and Street Improvements -269-
