6. 15. <br />CC Regular Session New <br />Meeting Date: 08/12/2024 <br />Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Address infrastructure needs. <br />Title: <br />Adopt Resolution #24-220 Accepting Geotechnical Proposals for 2025 Pavement Management Program Projects <br />Purpose/Background: <br />Purpose: <br />The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #25-220 accepting geotechnical proposals for 2025 pavement <br />management program projects. <br />Background: <br />Geotechnical reports inform Staff of subsoil conditions which is essential when designing the pavement section <br />for the reconstructed streets. Also included are groundwater elevations and support capabilities of the soils for <br />utilities and trenches, as well as associated backfilling recommendations. <br />On February 20, 2024 the Ramsey Public Works Committee (PWC) considered development and implementation <br />of a Gravel Road Elimination Policy (GREP), including project prioritization and funding program. The <br />discussion included consideration of completing soil borings and geotechnical reports of remaining gravel roads, <br />which could be used to better estimate the cost to upgrade the gravel roads to bituminous. The PWC unanimously <br />supported obtaining the soil borings on the remaining gravel roads. During the case, Staff recommended Public <br />Improvement Revolving Funds as the appropriate funding source for the geotechnical reports. Meeting minutes <br />are attached to this case for reference. <br />Staff sent request for proposals to six (6) firms, the quotes received are shown below. <br />CONTRACTOR IP 25-02 <br />Braun Intertec <br />Chosen Valley <br />Testing, Inc. <br />Haugo <br />Geotechnical <br />Services <br />Independent <br />Testing <br />Technologies, Inc. <br />Terracon <br />Consultants, Inc. <br />$9,889.00 <br />$5,435.00 <br />$7,515.00 <br />IP 25-03 <br />' $21,341.00 <br />$9,995.00 <br />$15,880.00 <br />IP 25-04 IP 25-05 I IP 25-06 <br />$8,850.00 $14,625.00 $8,037.00 <br />$5,540.00 $10,275.00 $6,195.00 <br />$8,785.00 <br />$17,235.00 $8,285.00 <br />GRAVEL <br />ROADS <br />$15,269.00 <br />$8,560.00 <br />$14,880.00 <br />$4,075.00 $10,620.00 $4,640.00 $8,880.00 $4,140.00 $8,495.00 <br />$8,526.00 I$16,022.00 , $8,900.00 <br />$19,976.00 <br />Chosen Valley Testing submitted the lowest responsible quote for Improvement Project #25-03 MSA Alpine <br />Drive Reconstruction.
