Case #11: Approve Contract Amendment for Design of Armstrong Boulevard Improvements - Improvement Project #06-20 Public Works. Director Olson reviewed that the Ramsey Town Center project requires improvement of the adjoining county highways. The City entered into a Joint Powers Agreement (JP A) with the couuty for these improvements, with the City being responsible for coordinating the design and construction of the work. The City requested a proposal for design services for the Armstrong Boulevard, Ramsey Boulevard and Sunfish Lake Boulevard improvements included in the Ramsey Town Center ADAR and Master Development Agreement from TKDA. The proposal was accepted at the June 8, 2004 Couucil meeting. The case included a note that the costs were for design services only and contract amendments would be required as each project got closer to bidding and construction. Mr. Olson stated the City Couucil approved the reqnest for Amendment No. I for bidding and construction services on the Armstrong Boulevard Improvements on October 24, 2006. The project scope has been modified since Amendment No.1 was approved. 1bis project has been a partnership with MnDOT since the beginning. The initial plan was for the matchline between the projects to fall on the north edge of pavement of westbound TH 10. Development of the design revealed MnDOT internal constraints would uot permit completion and approval of the plans in the time allotted unless the MnDOT work was constrained between the north edge of pavement westbound and the south edge of pavement eastbound. TKDA has adjusted their scope accordingly to include the work between the south matchline and Riverdale Drive. 1bis work entails extension of sanitary sewer from TH 10 to the intersectio,n of Armstrong Boulevard and Riverdale Drive along with shifting the pavemen~ alignment. The amendment also inclUdes initiation of the application for a railroad Quiet Zone. The requested increase in fees reflects the work required to change the scope of the project. The requested increase in fees is $17,920 bringing the amouut of the contract to a not to exceed total of $414,867.' Public Works Director Olson advised this project is part of the Ramsey Towil Center Regional Roadway Improvements and was included in the 2005-2009 ClP. The ClP identified the funding source as GO Bonding. The Master Development Agreement for Ramsey Town Center identified properties that would be assessed to pay a portian of the Regioual Roadway Improvement Costs. The City has agreements with Anoka Couuty and the State of Minnesota and both agencies are paying a portion of the costs for these improvements. The remainder is covered by the City. Mr. Olson advised staff recommends approval of Contract Amendment No. 2 with TKDA for the Armstrong Boulevard Improvements, Improvement Project #06-20 in the amount of$17,920.
