SUBJECT:
The construction contract for the Candy Covellakeside Manor
Addition streets was awarded to Northwest Asphalt, Inc. by the
City Council on July 19, 1999 (Resolution 99-71). Due to litigation
involving the contract award and a late season start date, the
contractor was unable to begin the street and storm sewer
reconstruction during the 1999 construction season. Northwest
Asphalt is proposing to begin construction at the end of April,
2000.
At the September 20, 1999 Council meeting a Public Hearing was
held and the Council approved Resolution 99-95, ordering the
2000 improvements and authorizing preparation of plans and
specifications for Project #12-00 Oakridge/Shangri-La/Maves
2nd/Prior Hills Reconstruction and Project #14-00, Linden Circle
Construction. Staff is currently completing plans and
specifications for these projects and is planning to request Council
approval and authorization to advertise for bids in April with a May
bid opening.
CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES
Based on the success of utilizing staff for construction observation
on the 1998 improvement projects, we propose to do in-house
construction observation on both the 1999 and 2000 projects.
Due to the potential for the 1999 and 2000 projects to be under
construction simultaneously, staff will be unable to accomplish
both construction observation and construction staking making it
necessary to hire a consulting firm to complete the construction
staking.

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
Staff requested proposals since construction staking is a
professional service from six consulting firms. The firms are
Bolton & Menk, Inc., Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik & Associates
(BRA), WSB & Associates, Inc., Hansen Thorp Pellinen Olson,
Inc.(HTPO), Schoell & Madson, Inc., and SEH-RCM, Inc.
Staff recommends hiring Bolton & Menk, Inc. to perform
construction staking. All six firms proposed to bill the City at an
hourly rate and specified a not-to-exceed amou.nt. The quotes
below are based on each firm's interpretation of the project scope
of work (total hours required).

$110.00 $27,900 $30,700 $56,310
*Includes 30 hours of supervision/office work @ $92.00/hour.
Although SEH-RCM provided the lowest estimated quote, their
hourly rate is substantially higher than Bolton & Menk and the
contract will be paid based on hours of service provided. SEH-
RCM has estimated hours which are almost half the next total
hourly estimate which staff feels is unrealistic for the two projects.
Based on the hourly rates, staff recommends that Bolton & Menk
provide construction staking services. The amount of $37,500
equates to approximately 2.5% of the construction cost which!s
very reasonable for a project of this size.
ISSUES
Although the not-to-exceed fee provided by SEH-RCM is lower
than that provided by Bolton & Menk, Bolton & Menk has a lower
hourly rate than the other firms that submitted quotes. In addition,
the City uses the same survey software as Bolton & Menk which
would decrease the amount of time staff would spend on assisting
with the survey information.
CONCLUSIONS
Staff recommends that the Council authorize Bolton & Menk to
perform construction staking services for Candy Cove/Lakeside
Manor Improvements and 2000 Improvements because their
estimated hours are reasonable, their hourly fate is the lowest,
2
their computer software is consistent with the City's and our
reference check confirms that they do satisfactory work.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Construction staking is included in the 30% indirect costs that are
applied to each project and collected with assessments. The
construction staking fees for each project will be paid from the
construction fund.
ALTERNATIVES:
There are three alternatives for the City Council to consider:
1. Approve Resolution OO-XX authorizing Bolton & Menk, Inc. to
perform construction staking services for these projects at a
total cost not to exceed $37,500.00.
2. Deny this item for a specific reason and provide staff with
direction.
3. Table this item until some date in the future.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: A motion and second to adopt Resolution OO-XX authorizing
Bolton & Menk to perform construction staking.
