Title
Consideration to Accept Public Improvements and Accept Final Payment - Well House No. 06.
Body
Action Requested:
The Northfield City Council approves the attached Resolution Accepting the Public Improvements and Approving the Final Payment for Project WATR2015-K07 -Well House No. 06.
Summary Report:
The City Council is being asked to accept the public improvements for the WATR-K07 - Well House No. 06 Project. Additionally, Council is being asked to approve the final payment in the amount of $45,835.51. The construction contract was awarded to Municipal Builders, Inc. of Andover, MN at the September 20, 2016 City Council meeting.
The total project cost was $873,884.40 (Attachment 4) which came in under the project budget of $979,878.00. There was a $57,000.00 allowance within the bid for connecting to Xcel power, which wasn’t needed in the end. The remainder of the cost savings was within the contingency of 10 percent of the total project cost which was not needed to complete the project. Trees at the well site will be installed later this year.
This project has been reviewed by the Public Works staff and is recommended for acceptance. The Certificate of Final Acceptance (Attachment 2) and the Final Pay Request (Attachment 3) are included along with the resolution (Attachment 1).
Alternative Options:
This project is completed and the final acceptance and payment are needed to close out the contract.
Financial Impacts:
This project was funded through the Water Enterprise Fund.
Tentative Timelines:
Upon acceptance by the City Council, the final payment will be processed and sent to the contractor. At that point, the two-year maintenance bond will begin if warranty work is needed.
