Public Works Committee 5.3. Meeting Date: 03/19/2024 By: Mark Riverblood, Engineering/Public Works iii Title: Refurbish the 25-year-old Okapi Street Boardwalk Connection Purpose/Background: The purpose of this case is to recommend to City Council the refurbishment of the 132'foot boardwalk west of 16400 Okapi Street. The quarter-century old boardwalk is tattered and in poor condition and proposed to be 'over-decked' in the same manner as was done for the Lake Itasca Boardwalk a few years ago, and with the same funding source. Timeframe: Staff will highlight this infrastructure maintenance project which should take less than 5 minutes. Observations/Alternatives: The attached RFQ was sent to several known boardwalk contractors, with two quotes received by the February 20th due date.Peterson Companies provided a quote of$59,500, and MN Boardwalks LLC a quote of$25,872. MN Boardwalks completed the Lake Itasca Boardwalk project and their work is sound and considered a reliable contractor. They indicate the work can be completed by mid-Summer. Funding Source: The recommended funding source would be the Capital Maintenance Fund, (formerly known as `Park Maintenance Fund#810')which has a present balance of$588k(after 2024 budgeted encumbrances). Recommendation: Staff recommends proceeding with the refurbishment of the 25-year-old boardwalk with the work to be performed by MN Boardwalks LLC, in the amount of$25,872. Action: Based upon discussion,motion to recommend to City Council the refurbishment of the Okapi Street Boardwalk in a not-to-exceed amount of$25,872. iii Attachments RFP boardwalk refurbishment Form Review inbox Reviewed By Date Bruce Westby Bruce Westby 03/13/2024 02:35 PM Brian Hagen Brian Hagen 03/13/2024 04:13 PM Form Started By:Mark Riverblood Started On:02/27/2024 09:29 AM Final Approval Date:03/13/2024
