GREEN COMPANY TO COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION AND STAKING SERVICES FOR CITY PROJECTS 95-08 (CSAH 21), 95-09 (CSAH 42) AND 96-21 (REGIONAL POND). FEBRUARY 17,1998 AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this agenda item is to consider approval of a resolution to authorize Howard R. Green Company to complete construction observation and staking services for the CSAH 21 and CSAH 42 projects which are being constructed under a cooperative agreement with Scott County. BACKGROUND: On June 2, 1997, Council passed Resolution 97-43 and 97-44 approving Scott County plans and specifications for CSAH 42 (including the Regional Pond) and CSAH 21 improvements and approving the cooperative agreements with Scott County. City work being constructed under these projects consist of watermain crossings, sanitary sewer and excavation of the Regional Pond. The construction began in the summer of 1997 and will be completed by the end of the 1998 construction season. There is approximately 2400 feet of watermain and 700 feet of sanitary sewer left to be constructed on the CSAH 42 project in addition to Regional Pond construction which will require staking and inspection by City staff or the City's consultant. On the CSAH 21 project, there is one watermain crossing that remains to be constructed. DISCUSSION: City Engineering Department staff provided the construction observation and staking for the portion of the CSAH 21 and CSAH 42 projects that were constructed in 1997. The Engineering Department is currently designing the 1998 Improvement projects and does not have the staff available at the present time. Historically, the city has utilized consultants to perform construction observation and staking services. We anticipate being able to perform some of this work in-house. However, due to the time constraints in preparing the 1998 projects, and being dependent on the Contractor's schedule, we need to authorize a fee sufficient to cover all of the work required in case staff can not perform any of this work. Payment is based on actual hours 162Q&b~~(:reek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.
