Patrick, City Manager FROM: James C. Hansz, P.E., Director of Public Works 1 Cit SUBJECT: SID 344, old School Station DATE: 20 July 2007 The Old School Station project is approaching completion and we are trying to tie up loose ends related to two items on this project. You will recall during development of the project we enlarged the water control building to house communications equipment in a secure environment. This additional equipment room also eliminated the need for a separate building to house the equipment. Included in this change was additional conduit surrounding the site for the communication cables. Construction costs for these items were tallied and those costs were charged against the SID. Engineering costs were accumulated and are itemized in the attached letter from Morrison. Maierle. These engineering costs total $18,42 8.00. The second item is conversion of the OSS test well into a productioM well. The SID documents identified a singe well for this project. A test well was drilled to validate the location and yield potential of the production well. After drilling the production well, we decided to develop the test well as a second production well rather than to let it stay idle. Construction costs for the development of the test well were collected and are charged to the water fund, not the SID. Engineering costs for this work were collected and are also noted in Morrison Maierle's letter. These costs total $32,469.00. The total of both these items is $ 5 0897.00. This amount exceeds the current project ceiling for Morrison Maierle's services, An amendment of their contract is needed to authorize payment for these services. I recommend amending the MM contract to reflect these added services. Once the amendment is completed there will be a surplus in the SID 344 account of approximately $66,000. These funds will provide significant assistance to help complete the mcmo0212007.doc pedestrian facilities on the site. As you will recall, a comprehensive pedestrian sidewalk throughout the site was originally intended to be part of the SID construction. The sidewalks adjacent the streets were included and completed but the walkway around the site perimeter was inadvertently omitted from the construction package. At current asphalt prices, the SID surplus will allow us to buy enough material for approximately 15,000 LF of 8-foot wide pedestrian path. memo0212007. doc ENGINEERS jMORRISON SURVEYORS PLANNERS DT TAT SCIENTISTS -= liV 1228 WHITEFISH STAGE ROAD - BOX 8057 � KALISPELL MT 59904-1057.,406-752-2215 � FAX; 406-752-2391 An Eniplo,yec-Ozvned Compan.v July 11, 2007 Mr. James C.

The scope changes and the corresponding changes in budget are summarized below. Additional labor related to the development of the 8-inch $32,469 well. Modification to the construction drawings to show two - inch conduits in lieu of one 3-inch conduit for century Tel, addition of a new 4-inch conduit for century Tel, and $37120 addition of a new 3-inch low voltage line. These changes were requested by either the utility company Phase 3 building (civil, architectural, and structural) changes to accommodate the additional building area to be $15,308 used by the dry utility companies. Total $50,897 We look forward to the opportunity to talk to you about this in more detail. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, MORRISON-MAIERLE, INC. CIL William A.
