History The City received bids for the Credit River Road project on May 13, 2015. At its May 26, 2015 meeting the City Council adopted Resolution 15-093 accepting the bids and awarding the construction contract to Chard Tiling and Excavating out of Belle Plaine, Minnesota. Construction is anticipated to start in June with substantial completion in November 2015. The project includes storm sewer, sanitary sewer, forcemain, lift station, water main, concrete sidewalk, concrete curb and gutter, aggregate base, bituminous surfacing, and appurtenant work. The improvements require construction stak- ing and construction testing of new City infrastructure. Current Circumstances Before you tonight is authorization for construction staking and construction test- ing for the Credit River Road Improvement Project#TRN15-000006. Construction Staking Staff has requested proposals from three firms for surveying services. They in- clude: Bolton and Menk Inc., WSB and Associates, and Probe Engineering. Each of these firms has a positive history of construction staking for the City of Prior Lake. All three firms provided bids for surveying services. The bids re- ceived by these firms are tabulated below: FIRM NAME BASE PRICE WSB $28,500.00 PROBE $31,500.00 BMI $44,500.00 The proposals received were each analyzed and City Staff is recommending that WSB perform the construction staking for the City of Prior Lake. WSB re- cently was the consultant engineer on the Welcome Avenue project and the Main Avenue/Ridgemont project. WSB is currently providing constructing stak- ing for the Maple, Mushtown, Panama Improvement Project. At times, construc- tion necessitates re-staking. Because the amount of re-staking cannot be de- termined, any re-staking will be performed at an hourly basis. This could in- crease the cost to a total that exceeds the base price. Re-staking typically ac- counts for an additional 15% of the base price. Construction Testing Staff has requested proposals from three firms for geotechnical services. They include: American Engineering Testing, Element Materials Technology, and Braun Intertec. Each of these firms has a positive history of construction testing in Prior Lake. The results are tabulated below: FIRM NAME BASE PRICE Element $11,659.00 American Engineering Testing $16,775.00 Braun Intertec $17,819.00 The proposals received were each reviewed using an estimated construction testing estimate. The number of tests actually performed could be less than the estimate or could exceed the estimate. For the purposes of evaluation, the con- sultant provided a unit price for each item listed in the estimated construction testing estimate. The results were analyzed and City Staff is recommending that Element Materials Technology be selected to perform the construction test- ing for the City of Prior Lake. Element completed the preliminary soil boring analysis for this project as well as the Maple Lane, Mushtown Road, Panama Avenue Improvement project and provided pavement section recommendation. Because of the poor soils and saturated conditions, the Contractor needs to take special precaution during the street reconstruction and Element's familiarity with the project will be critical. Conclusion With award of the construction contract and anticipated start of construction in June 2015 staking and testing will be needed for the project. 2 ISSUES: Construction staking must be done by or under the supervision of a registered land surveyor and thus qualifies as a professional service. The City of Prior Lake is not equipped or licensed to perform construction staking and testing for these projects. FINANCIAL The staking and testing for this project will be funded through various funding IMPACT: sources as calculated in the project support costs analysis and preliminary pro- ject funding table. The final project funding will be determined after substantial completion of the construction activities and after the assessment hearing. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve two resolutions for the Credit River Road Improvement project as part of the consent agenda: 1) accepting proposals and authorizing WSB & Associates to provide construction staking 2) accepting proposals and au- thorizing Element Materials Technology to provide construction testing. 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 and second to approve alternative#1.
