Consideration of Bids: Rolling Ridge Park Path Paving
Dissent: None
Moved by Councilperson Jeremiah Olgin [00:03:22] · Seconded by Councilperson Brad Bayer [00:03:27]
The park board requested paving for a new path at Rolling Ridge Park, with an approved cost not to exceed $30,000. Public Works is preparing the base, and a contractor will handle the asphalt. Two bids were received: Ross Sand & Gravel for $13,030 and Elcor Construction for $10,900. Staff recommended the lowest bidder, Elcor Construction. Discussion also covered the path's precise location and its connection to existing infrastructure, stopping at 20th Street to avoid complications with county road jurisdiction and the need for additional pedestrian infrastructure.
MSH Project Agreement Amendments
Dissent: None
Moved by Councilperson Jeremiah Olgin [00:06:55] · Seconded by Unknown [00:06:58]
The City Engineer presented contract amendments for several previously approved supplemental agreements. These included $61,500 for the environmental phase one and two of the 2027 CIP, $25,000 for Legacy Drive construction staking, and $42,000 for Through Highway 63 and Shuman Drive certified construction observation. The discussion clarified that these items were not in the original contracts due to incomplete design details and the need for more precise cost budgeting. The environmental phases are crucial due to a high/medium risk of contamination identified in a desktop review, allowing the city to access PCA cleanup funds if needed during construction.
15th Avenue Northeast Supplemental Agreement
Dissent: None
Moved by Councilperson Jeremiah Olgin [00:09:16] · Seconded by Unknown [00:09:20]
This item concerned the approval of the actual contract for the 15th Avenue project, noted as supplemental to the master agreement for services. The City Engineer clarified that the agreement does not include environmental components or construction administration at this stage, as state requirements for the latter are still unknown for the following year. The planning for this project assumes the use of existing soil boring data rather than new assessments.
Notable Quotes (6)
It's going to connect to the end of our apron or where we blacked out coming in our drive.
It's going to tie in there cuz if we take it out to that, that's county road. We will end up having to put all the other pedestrian path and all that stuff.
Because they weren't actually included in the original contract. A lot of the times we don't include construction type services um because the complete project hasn't been designed and it's really hard to base um what it's going to be upfront not knowing what our actual design is.
If we do our do the testing and everything um and it we don't come up with anything that exceeds the limits for the PCA, um then we can just keep going um with construction. However, if we don't do our due diligence here and during construction we do hit something and it was something that was on record or has a pot of money that's available for cleanup sitting there, we would not be able to use that money and it would be at our own risk.
Construction administration. Yeah, it's um for technically that one it would be like to um paperwork and submittals to the state um any other administration with the contractor those types of things.
I'm basing this that no new soil borings are used and we're going to use what they have um any assumptions with that, so
