THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. <br /> <br />Downtown Sidewalk Project Summary <br /> <br />Catherine MeheLich indicated that the final project cost for the 2001 Downtown Sidewalk <br />Improvement is $320,179.17. Catherine noted that the HRA contribution to the project <br />consisted of $243,465.17, which is approximately $32,000 over the initial estimate. <br /> <br />City Engineer Terry Maurer discussed the reasons for the overrun. He explained that the <br />amount of curb and gutter being removed was more than expected which increased the bid. <br />He indicated that another reason for the overrun involved Northstar Access and Qwest <br />Communications replacing their facilities under the sidewalk which extended the period of <br />time the Contractor was working on the project and increased the number of hours for <br />inspection. Discussion was held regarding whether the HRA should be responsible for the <br />overrun cost or whether the Council should pick up some of the overrun. Chair Toth and <br />Commissioner Thompson felt the Council should pick up some of the overrun cost. <br /> <br />COMMISSIONER MOTIN MOVED TO APPROVE THE REVISED <br />INTERFUND LOAN PAYMENT SCHEDULE FOR THE DOWNTOWN <br />SIDEWALK REPLACEMENT PROJECT AS PRESENTED.
