Body
Action Requested:
The Northfield City Council approves the attached Resolution - 2018 Spring Creek Road Reconstruction Project, Accepting Public Improvements and Approving Final Payment for the Project.
Summary Report:
The City Council is being asked to accept the public improvements for the 2018 Spring Creek Road Reconstruction Project STRT2018-A38, and approve final payment to BCM Construction Inc. for $34,897.03 (Attachment 2). The contract was awarded to BCM Construction Inc. at the November 20, 2018 City Council Meeting in the amount of $1,121,139.39.

Alternative Options:
This project is completed and the final acceptance and payment is required to close out the construction contract.
Financial Impacts:
The final construction costs for the project were $1,130,237.95. The tables below detail the final project costs and final project funding.
