Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Dustin Johnson, Project Engineer
Richard Hixson, City Engineer
Chuck Winn, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: North 7th Ave. Sidewalk Infill Change Order #1 MEETING DATE: July 26, 2010
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent Agenda
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize City Manager to sign North 7th Sidewalk Infill Contract Change Order #1, increasing the amount of the Contract by
$36,793.34 for a total contract price of $193,685.68.
BACKGROUND: On July 12, 2010, the City Commission authorized award of the bid for the North 7th Sidewalk Infill to Knife River.
The design of this project included several alternates that could be added
to the project if the North Seventh Urban Renewal Board (NSURB)
wished. At the time of the award there were three alternates that NSURB wanted but could not award due to lack of easements from the property owner.
After the contract was awarded the necessary easements were obtained.
Knife River has agreed to honor the original bid prices submitted for the necessary alternates. These alternates include; embellished sidewalk intersection at N. 7th Ave and Tamarack, a concrete pad for a future bus
stop at Van’s IGA, and planter beds at Van’s IGA.
This should not be considered a true change order since the bid prices for these items were originally submitted and accepted with the base bid contract but could not originally be awarded due to the lack of necessary
easements.

FISCAL EFFECTS: About half of the construction and engineering costs of the
sidewalks will be paid out of the House Bill 645 funds granted to
NSURB from the City Commission. All approved project costs
above the $110,400 of House Bill 645 money will be paid for from the Big Box funds allocated to N. 7th infrastructure improvements.
Knife River Contract (w/ Change Order #1): $193,685.68
Allied Engineering Contract (w/ amend. #2): + $27,250.00
Total Contracted Services: $220,935.68 House Bill 645 Allocation: - $110,400.00
Remaining to be covered by Big Box Funds: $110,535.68
In August 2008, the Commission approved the Tax Increment Financing District’s (TIF) request for dollars to dedicate to infrastructure improvements in the N 7th area, as described in the N 7th
Design & Connectivity Plan. An award of $232,000 was made to the TIF district, to be
combined with other TIF dollars for infrastructure improvements. Up until now none of the Big
Box Funds allocated to the N. 7th area have been spent. At the completion of this project we estimate that there will be $121,464.32 remaining in the Big Box Funds allocated to N. 7th area
infrastructure improvements.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
