ITEM: _ Rotary Park Grant/Improvements
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER:
I was approached recently by members of the Columbus-Fall River Rotary with interest
in furthering improvements for Rotary Park, on the heels of the successful canoe launch
project last year.
There are grant opportunities available for the Club, and they have turned their focus on
the shoreland area for improvement. Representatives from Rotary will likely be at the
meeting on Tuesday, and will provide further information.

2018 AGENDA ITEM
Committee of the Whole Meeting date: __July 3, 2018 ______
Council Meeting date: _____ July 17, 2018 ______
ITEM: _ Closeout and Change Order, TID #4 Utility Project
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Forest Landscaping & Construction has forwarded final paperwork to closeout the TID
#4 Utility Extension and are seeking final payment. Ordinarily, pay requests that come
through do not go to the Council for approval, provided the City Engineer and staff signs
off on the request.
This request is slightly different because it contains a change order to the project.
Change orders do receive review and approval by the City Council, even if the change
results in a decrease to the expected cost to the project. That is the case for this
change order by Forest Landscaping.
The Change Order in this case results in a reduction of $10,818.76 to the final cost of
the project. The reason for the reduction is the reduction in the final calculation of the
material quantities needed for the project.
Previously, the Council approved two other Change Orders related to this project.
Change Order #1 was to assign additional work to Forest in conjunction with the Drexel
development. It involved having Forest install the storm sewer that will be utilized by
Drexel as well as the City for drainage to the storm water pond.
Change Order #2 was requested and approved due to the management of working
through bedrock along the installation of the utilities along Hwy 16, thus requiring an
increase in time and materials needed to complete the project.
A readjustment of the time and materials is the reason for this last Change Order –
which resulted in the need for less and a lower cost.

final project closeout
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Review and consider change order #3 for
TID #4 Utility Project
2018 AGENDA ITEM
Committee of the Whole Meeting date: __July 3, 2018 ______
Council Meeting date: _____ TBD ______
ITEM: _ RFQ – Construction Services for Hall Road
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Staff recently opened quotes offered by engineering consultants to perform construction
review services for the construction of Hall Road later this summer.
The exercise was enacted to enact a trial of sorts to see what interest the City could get
having this element of a road project be open for firms to offer inspection services which
is includes the review of the construction work actually being performed per the design
and plans put in place for the project.
The City received two bids for the project. While there are a few nuances to how costs
are applied to the work being sought, it appears that Ruekert Mielke provided the lowest
qualified bid. Ruekert-Mielke’s proposed cost to complete project was quoted at
$36,920 (based upon use of a full-time inspector) and the second bidder, Vierbicher,
proposed a cost of $51,600 for the project. I took time to review the bids and concluded
that while each proposed a slightly different approach to the work, and I understood that
the quotes could not account fully for the timing and needs of the project. I also asked
Davis Clark to review the bids and compare them, and his notes are included in the
packet as well.
It would be staff’s recommendation to proceed with Ruekert-Mielke for construction
inspection for the Hall Road project.
LIST ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION ATTACHED: Bid information from
the firms that provided a Request for Quote.
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Review and consider bids for this project.
2018 AGENDA ITEM
Committee of the Whole Meeting date: __July 3, 2018 ______
Council Meeting date: _____TBD ______
ITEM: _ E. James St Railing Update
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER:
In the past couple of weeks, I have met with and talked to Nathan Roberts, who had
expressed interest in working with the City to design the railing for the E. James St step.
Nathan has provided some concepts to for the City to review and would like to provide
some design features to the metal “panels” within the railing. The designs would be
etched symbols of the City of Columbus – a red bud tree, the clock tower, potentially
something to symbolize agriculture and canning – he said that would be for discussion
purposes. Nathan also quoted $6390.00 for the manufacturing of the rail.
At this time I have asked for some concepts of those design features for you to review
but I thought it was pertinent to forward you this update so we can keep this project
moving along.
LIST ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION ATTACHED: Concept Drawings
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Review and discuss status of the E.

2018 AGENDA ITEM
Committee of the Whole Meeting date: __July 3, 2018 ______
Council Meeting date: _____TBD ______
ITEM: _ City Hall Roof repair
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER:
I am forwarding this item to the Committee of the Whole for review. Upon a recent trip
to the top of City Hall for a clock tower adjustment, Davis Clark noticed some damage to
a couple of places on the roof of the building.
As a follow up, we requested reviews and quotes to make repairs to those areas. At
this time, three companies were contacted and only one provided a cost for those
repairs. The one quote was from the Gardner Company, who provided a $4700 cost to
fix the roof. Davis Clark is reaching out in an attempt to get an additional quote or two
by the time the meeting is here on Tuesday.
Since this is an unexpected and unbudgeted costs, I am bringing forward for discussion
and possible action. There is not room in the City Hall maintenance budget to absorb
this cost and in speaking with Kim, contingency may be the best option here.
