Eng;neer's Proposal (not included) <br />D. Lighting Layout Plan (not included) <br />ISSUES - <br />1.

If a public hearing date is set, determine preliminary amount <br />to be assessed. <br />4. Determination as to whether the Council desires to go out for <br />bid or accept this as an addendum to the Hennepin County contract <br />with the lighting company. <br />INTRODUCTION - <br />MF.A CULPA - <br />At the Ma,.ch <br />28, 1988 meeting <br />the Council approved the <br />undertaking <br />of <br />a feasibi 1 ity study <br />by Ehlers and Associates for <br />the street <br />lighting on County Road <br />15. At '- me the estimate <br />was $92,000 <br />for <br />the 1 ights plus $4, 500 <br />for :,�asibi 1 i ty study. <br />For a total <br />of <br />$97,000. As noted in <br />the report this has changed. <br />DISCUSS_IO_N - The current amount proposed for the contract is <br />$113,720. This is almost $20,000 more than had been originally <br />anticipated in the preliminary estimate. Despite a 28 decrease <br />by the bidder for amending the contract Ehlers had not estimated <br />cabling on both sides in order to allow the lights to be on <br />alternate sides of the road. This amounted to about 95% of the <br />increase in expenditure. In addition, as noted the County now <br />has indicated that as this is a County contract they have a right <br />to an additional $11,300 if they choose to exercise their <br />contract administration provision. At present we do not have a <br />response hack from them as to whether they would actually enforce <br />this or if they had charged this amount against the City of Mound <br />in their street lighting. We hope to have an answer for you on <br />Monday night. <br />1 <br />
