AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City Staff is recommending City Council approval of Pay Application #2 to Traut Companies.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
No No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Pay Application #2 includes payment for drilling, casing, grout, explosives, removals, well development, and
sandstone removal. Additional mobilization and additional blasting and bailing were necessary. Some
items, such as well development and sandstone removal, are significantly more than the amount bid.
Although these increases have raised the cost of Phase 1 of Well #10, the increased capacity of the well is
estimated to be double what was anticipated. This increase in capacity will help alleviate issues with
meeting the City’s emergency volume needs and likely reduce the number of wells the City will need in the
future.
In accordance with Minnesota Statute, the City is withholding the maximum of 5% retainage of work
completed, which amounts to $11,711.25 at this time.
