City Council Minutes August 4, 2020 Page5of10 ----------------------------- The Construction Contract calls for payments to the Contractor, RL Larson Excavating, on a monthly basis. This Project is a unit price job where the Contractor provided unit prices for estimated quantities for different items of work. RL Larson Excavating has submitted quantities for the work performed in this Partial Payment Estimate (PPE) Number 4, which we have verified. All PPEs, per the Contract, include 5% retainage held back by the City until Substantial Completion. At that point, the Contract calls for releasing some of the retainage based on the completion of punch list/ remaining items. Accordingly, this PPE No. 4 releases some of the retainage (509��;but keeps $75,000. , At the writing of this memo (July 28th), RL La��xcavating has completed the majority of the work. But, there are severa�,��i,�:�nd quantity line items yet to be calculated and paid for. We anticipate�his will�r at your September meeting. This PPE No. 4 brings the Amount of Work to-date versus t�;�ontract Amount to 98% — i.e. this does not always happen on unit price projecfs;��at, still under budget.

MOTION CARE3�ED 40. 9.2. South SI�Road�uit Claim � ' �tion In 2017, TornPeterson.,:+�n behalf of�s►ry and Jaculin Peterson, approached the City$tating his p�rerl��r�s real es'��tax statements for a portion of South Sluetter Road and r��ueste��ir�rele�sed from the taxes. He was advised ownership would ne��o be trari��8d to the City conveying title to the property in question far them to`ric�longer be re�ponsible to pay real estate taxes. In�fl19, Gary Peterson con'�#ied the City after receiving a letter dated June 20, 20�9, in which a third party o�red to purchase a parcel of property described as Outlo�B, Mayoville Estates, also known as part of South Sluetter Road. Mr. Peterson wondered if the City had an interest in purchasing Outlot B. The City reviewed o�vnership'records of Outlot B and determined there may have been some miscommunication at the time of annexation befinreen Sibley Township and the City as to what portions of South Sluetter Road were to be publicly maintained. Sibley Town Board passed a resolution in April of 1991 finding the northern '/4 mile (more or less) of South Sluetter Road was to be a duly- established township road. However, the portion of South Sluetter Road located on Outlot B was not a part of the road designated as a township road in 1991. The City contacted Gary Peterson several times regarding his plan to either transfer ownership to the City or the City would cease maintenance of Outlot B.
