Body
Action Requested:
The Northfield City Council approves the attached Resolution Accepting the Public Improvements and Approving the Final Payment for Project WSTR2017-J10 - WWTP Lift Pump No. 3 Replacement Project.
Summary Report:
The City Council is asked to accept the public improvements for the WSTR2017-J10 - WWTP Lift Pump No. 3 Replacement Project. Additionally, Council is asked to approve the final payment in the amount of $5,962.50. The construction contract was awarded to MN Mechanical Solutions of Waite Park, MN at the February 21, 2017 City Council meeting in the amount of $129,250.00.
Within the bid of the project, there was an allowance of $10,000.00 that was not used during the project, allowing for the total cost of the contract to come in at $119,250.00. The total cost of the project, including SCADA programming and engineering, came to $144,589.40 (Attachment 4).
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 Wastewater 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.
