111 RESOLUTION NO. 80 221
RES AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A NEGOTIATED CONTRACT WITH
SHAFER CONTRACTING CO., INC. FOR INSTALLATION OF WATER MAIN CASING
PIPE UNDER I -94
WHEREAS, the City's water system consultant, Black and Veatch, has recently
determined that a 16 inch water main crossing I94 near the west line of Central Park
is necessary to the satisfactory operation of the City's water system; and
WHEREAS, the City Engineer has reviewed alternatives to the above proposed
crossing with representatives of Black and Veatch and has subsequently concurred in
the necessity for a 16 inch water main crossing of I94 at the proposed location; and
WHEREAS, MN /DOT's contractor, Lunda Construction Co., and Lunda's under-
ground utilities subcontractor, Shafer Contracting Co., Inc., now have possession
of land where the proposed watermain crossing is located and will not allow others
to work in the area during the I94 construction period; and
WHEREAS, the City Engineer has thus negotiated a price for installation
of a 30 inch casing pipe at the aforementioned location with Shafer Contracting Co.,
Inc. in the amount of $30,397.00; and
WHEREAS, the City Engineer has determined to the satisfaction of the City
Council that said negotiated price represents a substantial savings in installation
of the casing pipe due to the work presently being performed on I94.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn
Center, Minnesota, that the proposed 16 inch water main crossing of I94 at the west
line of Central Park be installed in accordance with the plans drawn by the City
Engineer and that said work be performed by Shafer Contracting Co., Inc. at the.
quoted price of $30,397.00, said price to include the furnishing of all labor,
materials, tools, and equipment in connection with this project.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor and City Manager are hereby authorized
to execute a Contract with said contractor in the above amount.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Treasurer is hereby directed to appro-
priate the amount of $30,397.00 from Public Utilities Fund No. 72.
