VI.A. REQUEST FOR PURCHASE — NORTH RAMP EXPANSION PW 2018-001 CHANGE
ORDER #I
Public Works Director Olson explained contract for construction of the North Ramp Expansion project
located on Market Street to Adolfson & Peterson Construction (A&P) and the Center Ramp redevelopment
project will be administered and constructed by Frana Construction. Mr. Olson informed the HRA the project
was approximately eight days behind schedule for a variety of reasons including weather, Excel Energy timing,
and issues discovered during demolition.
Mr. Olson noted before the award of the contract to A&P that allowed the construction to commence on
January 2, a 12-month long public engagement period with the 50th and France business district has been held.
Constituents had identified the most important concern was the ability to travel the district using Market
Street, that would allow the north parking ramp to remain open during both construction projects.
Additionally, business desired to continue operations of pickups, deliveries, and services rendered to the
• physical locations immediately impacted along the Market Street/Halifax corridor between 50th and France Ave.
City staff committed to coordinating with the contractors how to facilitate the continuation of service in the
District.

Minutes/HRA/February 1, 2018
Mr. Olson stated City staff and its construction management company, SRF Consulting, met with Frana and the
development team of the Center redevelopment project on January 9 and discussed our options to mitigate
the issues due to the increased construction traffic. He reported that after reviewing four options the best •
option appeared to be the use of a tower crane to construct the east and west ramp expansions increasing the
cost by $396,215.
The HRA noted the project was within the approved budget and contingency. Commissioners expressed a
desire to get the project back onto the original timeframe. They also complimented staff on their facilitation
of such a large project with the large number of constituents of varying interests.
