Similarly with this project it is agreed that the Municipal Utilities will fund all of the construction costs associated with their water improvements. In addition, the Municipal Utilities agreed to pay a percentage of construction cost for plan and specification preparation. This percentage is proposed to be 10 percent of the water improvement construction cost. Finally, the Municipal Utilities agreed to pay directly for services during construction, including construction staking, construction observation, contract administration and record drawing preparation. VII. RIGHT-OF-WAY, EASEMENTS, AND PERMITS Rmh~o~WavandEasemen~ No right-of-way will need to be acquired for the street improvements. Temporary construction easements may be required throughout the project area to accommodate driveway repair, water service replacement, and/or finished grading. Verbal permission will be secured from private property owners during the construstion process should work need to be completed on private property. Permits Several permits will be required prior to construction of the proposed improvements. Required permits include, but are not limited to, the following: · Minnesota Department of Health · Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (NPDES) Watermain Grading/Storm Water Quality VIII. INFORMATIONAL HEARING An informational hearing was held on December 7, 2006 with the affected property owners. The project was discussed and residents were encouraged to voice their concerns and to ask questions. Approximately 31 of the 163 properties notified for the informational meeting were in attendance. The major issue appeared to be whether or not to include sidewalks. A walk through will be scheduled with the residents prior to construction. Appendix B describes the informational hearing in more detail including minutes and the signup sheets. IX. ESTIMATED PROJECT COST The estimated construction costs and associated overhead costs for the proposed improvements are summarized in Table 1. Based on past experiences on similar projects in the City, the overhead costs have been estimated at 28% of the total construction cost. The overhead costs include city administration, engineering design, fiscal, and legal costs. 7
