additional parcel on the west side of Radium Street which is currently being marketed by the City. The plans for this project anticipated prior development of the approved Northern Airgas grading plan. However, Northern Airgas has not commenced construction, and a storm water detention pond which was to be constructed as a part of their grading plan must be added to the scope of work in order to make the storm system function as designed. Mr. Jankowski presented a change order which incorporates these changes for the amount of $6,210. The order has been reviewed by the project engineer and recommended for execution, as the prices submitted are reasonable. The Committee suggested staff assess this issue and figure out how to recoup some of the expense. Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to recommend that Council approve Change Order No. 1 to Improvement Project #97-23 in the amount of $6,210. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Haas Steffen and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Case #2: Update on C.R. #116 (Improvement Project #97-25) City Engineer Jankowski stated that the extension of C.R. #116, between C.R. #56 and C.R. #83, has been scheduled for construction for late 1998. The County has hired SRF, Inc. to prepare plans and specifications for the roadway. The City is providing right-of- way for the project and has initiated actions to address wetland mitigation which has been determined to be unavoidable. Mr. Jankowski reported that an Environmental Assessment worksheet has been prepared and submitted for agency comment. The comment period ends on June 17, 1998. The eminent domain proceedings for acquisition of the necessary right-of-way and wetland mitigation area have been commenced, and the City will acquire title to the land on July 15, 1998. He presented an engineer's estimated which shows the City having an 11.7% share of the construction costs or a total amount of $71,504, This cost is attributable to two project elements. First is a bituminous path which will parallel the roadway on the north. The second element includes the excavation of wetland beyond what was needed by the project for mitigation. This wetland was proposed to be excavated solely for the purpose of partially compensating the landowner for the purchase of property. Councilmember Haas Steffen mentioned there should be the trail for the I49th area residents and she wondered how these were going to connect up. Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to recommend Council authorize a bituminous path parallel to C.R. #116 on the north and authorize the excavation of wetland needed for the project mitigation, and beyond, and that $71,000 is for that. In addition, staff was directed to have conversation relating to the 149th trail being connected and that it be discussed at the Council meeting. Road and Bridge Committee/June 16, 1998 Page 7 of 8
