Elk River <br />Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />ERMU Commission <br />Chris Kerzman — Engineering Manager <br />MEETING DATE: <br />AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: <br />June 13, 2023 <br />5.2 <br />SUBJECT: <br />Field Services Facility Expansion Project Update <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />None <br />DISCUSSION: <br />Staff met with RJM Construction on May 22 to discuss the remainder of scoping items that RJM <br />is requesting contract change orders for. We were able to come to an agreement on a majority <br />of the claims that would result in a contract increase of $1,956.51 and are still discussing claims <br />that could total an additional $2,399.06 increase. Staff expects to have final agreement on the <br />outstanding items at the July regular commission meeting to present for approval. <br />Staff would like to follow up on questions from the May commission meeting regarding funding <br />for Change Order No. 7, which addressed stormwater system revisions. As we approach project <br />completion, staff expects to finalize discussions on contingency spending for costs related to <br />the steel contractor default, and will have more details after those discussions. Staff anticipates <br />that if there are project overages, they will be covered by other capital projects that come in <br />under budget during this year. <br />RJM completed the base course of paving on June 5, and is scheduled for wear course <br />installation on June 14. RJM expects that final grading, landscaping, fencing, and gates will all be <br />complete prior to the final installation of asphalt and would only have punch list items left after <br />the week of June 12. Staff will work with another contractor to repair the irrigation system to <br />the west of the existing building and power plant to improve the landscaping condition. <br />Page IofI <br />165 <br />
