February 26, 2014 <br />Honorable Mayor and Council Members <br />City of Pequot Lakes <br />4638 County Road 11 <br />Pequot Lakes, MN 56472-0361 <br />RE: Amendment to Engineering Agreement <br />North Washington Avenue <br />Pequot Lakes, MN <br />Honorable Mayor and Council Members: <br />WIDSETH <br />,SMITH <br />NOLTING <br />Brainerd/Ilaxter <br />7804 Industrial Park Road <br />PO Box 2720 <br />Baxter, MN 56425-2720 <br />21s.azs.51�� 0 <br />218.H29.2517 � <br />Brainerd@wsn.us.com 0 <br />W idsethSmith Nolting.com <br />Mike Loven asked that we submit this request for an Amendment to our current Engineering <br />Agreement on the above referenced project. <br />Our original agreement ($30,150) was set up — as past agreements have been — with the <br />intention that City staff would take care of most of the construction phase administration and <br />observation. <br />Mike noted several factors in asking us to submit this amendment. <br />First, construction is anticipated to begin in August a couple of weeks before Labor Day. While <br />any day or month can be busy, this is an especially busy time for Mike and his staff. He does <br />not believe he can spend the needed time on-site during construction. <br />Second, this project includes underground sanitary sewer constructian. There really needs to be <br />an experienced person consistently on-site to answer questions and observe these <br />improvements — assets that get covered up. <br />Third, there are a lot of grades and slopes that will probably elicit questions and should have an <br />experienced person present to obtain answers. <br />Mike does not see being able to provide a person on a consistent basis for the amount of time <br />that will be needed to administer and observe this construction. <br />In addition to the above, we have also been working on the retaining wall, some aesthetic <br />accents, and easements that were not in our original scope. These items will also need to be <br />followed up during construction (shop drawings, staking, observation, and administration). <br />With this amendment, we will provide the following services: <br />• Include retaining walls and accents in the construction drawings, specifications, and <br />estimated quantities. <br />Gngineering I Architectuxe I Surveying <br />Environmental <br />
