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