15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW · Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 <br />City Hall: (763) 427-1410 · Fax: (763) 427-5543 <br />www. ci.ramsey.mn.us <br /> <br />May25,2006 <br /> <br />Re: Welcomes Road Project <br /> <br />Dear Resident, <br /> <br />You will recall that the construction bids received in February 2006 were rejected <br />because they exceeded the costs estimated in the original feasibility study. A second <br />pubhc heating was held on Tuesday, March 28, 2006 to initiate the reconsideration of this <br />project at the higher cost. Testimony at this public hearing requested that the city <br />consider some additional forms of cost relief for the residents for this work. A meeting <br />was held with the project residents on Thursday April 27, 2006 to consider whether <br />several project elements might be considered to be eliminated from the portion of the <br />project assessable to the residents. The Public Works Committee reviewed these <br />considerations and recommended to the City Council that the costs associated with the <br />storm sewer installation be funded from the Storm Water Utility. This funding change <br />will result in a reduction of $10,300 of the total $200,595 estimated construction costs to <br />be subject to the project assessment amount and is detailed in Appendix B of the <br />feasibility study. <br /> <br />The above change will result in an estimated assessment of $6,260 for each property. The <br />City Council also directed that the sixty day period following the public hearing should <br />be extended to June 9, 2006. Ifa petition against the project is presented to the city on or <br />before this date, the project may not proceed. In the absence of such a petition the City <br />Council will consider ordering the project on June 13, 2006 such that the construction for <br />this project could occur during August of 2006. I am enclosing a revised feasibility s~dy <br />which summarizes this project and addresses the above changes. Please feel free to call <br />me at 763433-9826 if you have questions. <br /> <br />Sincerely,?/,.? j .,,-]~/~/~ /fi <br /> <br />Steven Jankowski~, ~E <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />Fire Chief <br />Public Works Director/Principal En~-fineer <br /> <br />-289- <br /> <br /> <br />
