Howard R. Green Company <br /> June 26, 2001 <br /> File: 812420J-0071 <br /> Ms. Cathy Mehelich <br /> Director of Economic Development <br /> City of Elk River <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> PO Box 490 <br /> Elk River, Minnesota 55330 <br /> RE: DOWNTOWN SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS <br /> CITY OF ELK RIVER, MINNESOTA <br /> Dear Ms. Mehelich: <br /> Now that the Downtown Sidewalk Improvements Project is substantially complete, we <br /> have put together the final quantities and cost for the project. As you are aware, the <br /> original bid for the improvements from Schmidt Curb Company was $209,943.80. As we <br /> discussed with the Economic Development Authority, we anticipated removing and <br /> replacing more concrete curb and gutter and the 1-foot concrete strip along the buildings <br /> due to the lower than expected bid prices from Schmidt Curb. Based on the final <br /> • quantities, we anticipate that the final construction cost will be $246,664.96. <br /> As you are aware, there are a number of items in this final construction cost that should <br /> be reimbursed by the Elk River Municipal Utilities. They had agreed before the project <br /> was bid to pay for the removal of the sidewalk on the north side of Main Street. This <br /> agreement was in association with the anticipated burying of the underground electrical <br /> cables through the downtown. While working with their Contractor, there were a number <br /> of other items that needed to be removed for the electrical conduits to be placed. These <br /> items were removed and replaced by Schmidt Curb Company, therefore, they show up <br /> in the final construction cost and should be reimbursed by the Elk River Municipal <br /> Utilities or their Contractor. Under a separate letter to Pat Klaers, I detailed these items <br /> out. They amount to $23,279.00. <br /> Hopefully, this letter provides you with the information you need to present to the <br /> Economic Development Authority. If you have any questions or would like further <br /> information, please call. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Howard R. Green Company <br /> •--X-€44yPifasee/tel,) <br /> Terry J.
