The Silver Bay Council held a very efficient meeting on Monday night. The Council approved a resolution, brought forth by the Public Works commission, to have Bolton and Menk provide final engineering services for phase 1 of the Citywide Street Improvement Project. This will include reconstruction of the street surfacing, curbs, gutters, sidewalk and driveways. Storm sewer systems, public water systems and sanitary sewer systems are also part of the scope of the service that Bolton and Menk will provide. The specific streets that will be included in this phase of the project include Adams Boulevard, Arthur Circle, Aiken Circle, Burke Drive, Bell Circle and Charles Circle. The city has received $12,000,000 for the project and will be paying Bolton and Menk $589,000 for their services. The project is projected to take two years to complete with contract bidding to take place next Spring. The Council will take up the issue of assessment in the coming months.
The Council approved a resolution to hire Stokke Commissioning and Building Solution Services of Duluth to provide commissioning services and for the Mulit-Modal Trailhead Center. Stokke staff will work with all phases of the project to make sure that the work aligns with State standards and the project requirements as envisioned by the City.
In other business, the council approved a change order for work being done on the Wastewater SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system. When the work began earlier this year, it was found that electrical components varied from what was initially specified in the plan. Replacing the existing components with the proper equipment is clearly in the city’s best interest and will result in an additional charge of $4,170.00 for the work that needs to be done to correct the problem.
The next Silver Bay Council meeting will be held on September 15th at 7:00 PM.
