Interoffice Memorandum
Date: January 31, 2019
To: Kathryn Quell, Building Services Specialist
From: Jason Castor
Jason Castor, City Development Director
Subject: LDFA Improvements Phase 1,
Project Update, City Project CP#17-295
Provided is a final summary of the project. Let me know if you have any questions.
GENERAL INFORMATION: At the April 24, 2017 LDFA Business meeting, the LDFA awarded the
bid for the subject project in the amount of $496,765.55 to Anglin Civil, LLC. The project has
been successfully completed and all project specifications have been met. Therefore, the City is
preparing to make final payment which is anticipated to occur at the Regular City Council
meeting on March 5, 2019.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION: The final contract price of $451,062.91 is less than the original
contract price of $496,765.55 by $45,702.64, or 9.2%. This decrease in part was due to reduced
quantities and eliminating electrical work at Mitchell Drive and Velocity entrance due to
infrastructure in place at the time of construction. The electrical infrastructure at Mitchell Drive
was not in place when this project was bid and resulted in project savings through unused funds
set aside for DTE electrical permits.
Attached please find the final pay estimate for LDFA Improvements Phase 1, CP#17-295
releasing retainage held. Also attached is the contractor’s request for final payment and
agreeance of final quantities, contractor’s declaration, contractor’s affidavit, and consent of
surety.
STAFF ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS: All work has been successfully completed and the necessary
paperwork submitted to enable the City to proceed with final payment.
Suggested Action:
MOVED BY: SECONDED BY:
RESOLVED, to approve final payment to Anglin Civil, LLC, in the amount of $39,952.32 plus
interest on retainage, for LDFA Improvements Phase 1, City Project #17-295.
