Authorization To Execute Second Contract Amendment With SRF Consulting Group, Inc., For Additional Contract Costs For Trail Construction On Butler Avenue In West St. Paul, County Project 04-17
end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize execution of the second amendment to the contract with SRF Consulting Group, Inc., (SRF) for additional construction administration and inspection services.
SUMMARY
To promote a safe and efficient transportation system throughout the County, Dakota County has constructed a trail along Butler Avenue from Robert Street to Trunk Highway (TH) 52 to provide safe pedestrian access to Thompson Park and the surrounding area. A location map is attached. The project began in August 2025 and was substantially complete in December 2025. However, there is still work remaining to be done in 2026 that was not anticipated: specifically, completing the retaining wall on the north side east of Sperl Street. It was determined that building the wall higher would improve the slope behind the wall. This work will be done this spring.
The cost of the additional construction administration and inspection amounts to $18,883. This amendment will bring the total contract amount to $271,481, based on an additional two weeks of construction.
Summary of attached amendment:
* Construction Administration $ 4,120
* Construction Inspection $14,400
* Non-Salary Expenses $ 363
Total $18,883
The project was awarded to SRF Consulting Group, Inc., on August 12, 2025. The first amendment allowing for additional time due to St. Paul Regional Water Services working in the area and private utility relocations was approved on February 3, 2026.
