Authorization To Execute Amendment To Contract With SRF Consulting Group, Inc., For 117th Street (New County Road 32) In Inver Grove Heights, County Project 32-65
end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize execution of an amendment to the contract with SRF Consulting Group, Inc. (SRF) for design revisions to Pine Bend Landfill driveways along 117th Street (new County Road 32).
SUMMARY
To promote a safe and efficient transportation system throughout the County, Dakota County is reconstructing 117th Street from County Road 71 (Rich Valley Boulevard) to Trunk Highway 52. After construction is complete, the road will become new County Road 32.
By Resolution 25-150 (March 25, 2025), a professional services contract was awarded to SRF for surveying, inspection, and construction administration of the 117th Street project. Following negotiations with Pine Bend Landfill and Flint Hills Refinery (FHR), it has been determined that revisions to the construction plans for 117th Street are necessary. These revisions will relocate the proposed entrance to Pine Bend Landfill to just north of the proposed SKB Landfill entrance, as depicted in the 60 percent design drawing submittal. The amendment will also include the design of a second entrance for Pine Bend Landfill, which will allow left turns only from the site onto eastbound 117th Street. Additionally, the entrance for FHR will be revised to provide full access. Since SRF was the design engineer and responsible for the construction management of the project, the contract amendment for design changes is included in their construction management contract
The current contract is $1,533,011.50, and the revisions to the driveway proposal are $61,791.00, which total $1,594,802.50 for the revised contract amount.
