CITY OF RICHFIELD Council Letter No. 223 Agenda July 26, 1993 Issue Statement: Consideration of the reject of bids for electrical installation contract at the Water Treatment Plant. Background: The Water Plant project requires the electrical equipment be installed by an electrical contractor. Specifications for this work included installing the electrical switch gear equipment purchased under procurement package number 2 which was approved at an earlier date, installing the necessary conduit and wire to connect all the new equipment, and reconnection of the existing equipment that is not being replaced. There were seven plan holders of record. Four bids were submitted and opened July 19, 1993. The lowest bid was $276,000. The engineer's estimate for the work was $150,000. This proposed contract was labor intensive but did include some minor equipment such as conduit and wire. The major hardware compenents have been purchased under separate contracts. The original cost estimate, including labor and all hardware and equipment, was $650,000. Purchasing the major hardware separately was deemed necessary to allow sufficient time for manufacture. • It does not appear there was any one reason why the bids exceeded estimate. Possible explanations include: 1) potential bidders not contacting the consultant nor staff and/or not attending the pre-bid meeting to obtain information and asking pertinent questions about the project, 2) large and small electrical firms questioning their ability to have the time to do the work, 3) small electrical firms questioning their ability to have sufficient staff to do the work, and 4) bidders including what staff.and the consultant deem excessive estimates for labor time to assure profit for the vendor. Recommended Motion: Accept the bid minutes/tabulation, reject all bids received July 19, 1993 for electrical installation as part of the Water Plant improvement project and authorize readvertisment for bids. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The work is necessary as part of the Water Plant improvement project. 2. The bids received July 19, 1993 exceeded the engineer's estimate which was for labor only. 3. Readvertisement will allow for some modification of the • specifications and an opportunity to encourage additional vendors to submit bids. Iq-1 4. A slight delay in award of contract for electrical installation will not cause problems in terms of the industrial construction portion of the project. Alternative Recommendation: 1. Award a contract to the low bidder. However, the project budget.would be exceeded and additional funding would need to be authorized. 2. Reject bids but do not readvertise. However, the project cannot be completed unless the electrical work is done. Discussion/Decision Mode: Council may choose to delay a decision on this item; however, to provide minimum disruption of actual construction it is necessary to provide a timely decision. A decision on July 26, 1993 will allow sufficient time to readvertise and still have an electrical contractor available within the timeframe necessary to complete the project. lly submitted, Ja e§D.

Background: In April 1993, the City Council approved supplements to the BRW/OSM contract, bringing the total to $1,679,173 for engineering design services for Phases I and II of the 77th Street Project. Further work identified by MnDOT's most recent project review requires an additional $230,000 to continue the 77th Street Project. This adjustment must be made through an additional supplement to the BRW, Inc./Orr-Schelen-Mayeron contract. MnDOT prefers that the consultant work be segmented through supplemental agreements with separate approvals. The work being added to the contract includes: ? A survey and right of way plan for the Wood Lake storm sewer. ? Additional signal and traffic control work in Phase II. The signal systems throughout the systems must be designed to be compatible with a centralized traffic control system being planned for the I-494 corridor. Recommended Motion: Approve the supplemental agreement to the BRW, Inc./Orr-Schelen- Mayeron contract for additional engineering services in the amount of $230,000 for the 77th Street Project and authorize the Mayor and City Manager to sign said agreement. Basis of Recommendation: Funds for the increased contract amount will follow the accepted cost split of 80% federal, 15% state and 5% local. Alternative Recommendation: No alternative is recommended. BRW, Inc./Orr-Schelen-Mayeron has provided good timely service and the increased work cannot be easily separated form the original contract work. Discussion/Decision Mode: City Council approval on July 26 will allow work to continue on the storm sewer work in particular. L?

Council Letter No.CL:CG94ALLEYMTCE Agenda: July 26, 1993 Issue Statement: Public hearing to consider specially assessing current maintenance services for city alleys for the period of January 1 through December 31, 1994, City Project No. 893. Background: On June 14, 1993, the City Council scheduled a public hearing for July 26, 1993 concerning the 1994 alley maintenance project. In order to implement the alley maintenance policies previously passed by the City Council, it is necessary for the Council to initiate this specific alley maintenance project. The maintenance functions to be financed through special assessments include such work as rough grading, cleaning and sweeping, cold patching and snow plowing. Because the vast majority of alleys have now been paved, the primary maintenance function is anticipated to be snow plowing. Some of the alleys resurfaced in the early 1980's have also reached the time when concrete joint sealing needs to be done. Community Services Department personnel estimate the cost of this project for the period January 1 through December 31, 1994 to be $20,000. The amount of special assessment could vary according to the amount of work necessary on each individual alley. The costs for the repair of an alley will be charged to the property owners abutting the alley. $7.50 per average fifty foot lot is the estimate for sweeping and a normal winter of snow plowing. $3.25 per average fifty foot lot is an estimate of the costs to continue a concrete joint sealing maintenance program on a paved alley as a part of routine maintenance. Estimates of additional costs on those alleys not of concrete has been about $23 per average fifty foot lot. Costs have varied depending on the amount of patching required in a particular alley. For comparison purposes, the following is provided related to alley maintenance special assessment for current services: 1985 Actual $15,141.97 1986 Estimated $23,600 1986 Actual $11,834.29 1987 Estimated $ 7,000 1987 Actual $ 9,977.18 1988 Estimated $17,000 1988 Actual $ 8,453.93 1989 Estimated $20,000 1989 Actual $17,725.98 1990 Estimated $20,000 • 1990 Actual $17,213.95 1991 Estimated $20,000 • .Council Letter No. 94 ALLEYMTCE July 26, 1993 Page 2 1991 Actual $21,426.94 1992 Estimated $20,000 1992 Actual $19,752.06 1993 Estimated $20,000 Recommended Motion: Following the close of the public hearing, adopt the attached resolution ordering City Project No. 893, 1994 Alley Maintenance project and.special assessment of current services. Basis of Recommendation: 1. Notice of the proposed assessment was published in the official city newspaper. 2. Each property owner within the area proposed to be assessed was mailed a notice as required by State law. 3. It has been the Council policy for twelve years to assess for alley maintenance. Alternative Recommendation: None. Discussion/Decision Mode: • The current alley maintenance project will lapse at the end of the year.

Passed by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota this 26th day of July, 1993. Martin J. Kirsch Mayor ATTEST: Thomas P. Ferber City Clerk . CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 215 Agenda July 26, 1993 Issue Statement: Public hearing for consideration of an application for a new residential kennel license for Philip Mortenson, 7315 Thomas Avenue. (Deferred from June 28, 1993) Background: On"May 5, 1993, Philip Mortenson submitted an application for a residential kennel license. He owns four cats (all are Domestic Short Hairs). Mr. Mortenson's application had all contiguous property owner's signatures on it with the exception of the resident living behind them at 7314 Sheridan Avenue. In April 1993, an inspection of the property was conducted by a Community Service Officer. The Community Service Officer did note that one of the abutting property owners had not signed the petition. A kennel inspection of the property found no apparent problems at that time. Staff has received letters from five of Mr. Mortenson's neighbors who do not support the issuance of a kennel license. They have had problems with feces in their yards and do not feel the cats should be allowed to run free. Staff also received a call from a • neighbor who is considering moving out of Richfield. She has one small child and would like to have more. However, because cats are a safety hazard to pregnant women, she feels no young couple would want to live in this type of environment. The cats in question are always running free and she doesn't feel this should be happening in a residential area. Mr. Mortenson's kennel license was denied on June 10, 1991. After the denial of his application he had to reduce the number of cats he had from ten to two. At this time staff received three complaints from people who went to his home to see about adopting a cat. The complaints consisted of the number of cats in the home, urine smells and feces. On June 28, 1993, the City Council suggested Mr. Mortenson, along with his neighbors, meet with West Suburban Mediation Center. The meeting was on Tuesday, July 20. Only Mr. Mortenson and one neighbor attended. The mediator and the neighbor discontinued the mediation because of the unwillingness of the one party to participate. Mr. Mortenson was recently refunded $60 for his 1992 residential kennel license. Due to a clerical error, his application was not presented to the City Council in 1992. • Although this application is for four cats, it does not exceed the maximum number of six animals that was approved by the Council as policy on July 22, 1991. At this time, Mr. Mortenson would like to re-apply for his residential kennel license. Recommended Motion: Staff recommends that the application for a residential kennel license be denied. Basis for Recommendation: 1. It is up to the animal owner to prove that the keeping of more than two cats does not have an adverse effect on the neighborhood. The City has been contacted by neighbors who have concerns that staff believes have caused an adverse effect on the neighborhood. 2. Mediation at this point was unsuccessful. Alternative Recommendation: 1. The Council could decide to approve Mr. Mortenson's residential kennel license. This would mean that he would be able to keep his four cats. 2. The Council could ask West Suburban to reschedule mediation for an evening session to see if more neighbors would attend and attempt to resolve this dispute. Council action would be deferred to a future meeting. Discussion/Decision Mode: Recommendation to deny the application for a residential kennel license for Philip Mortenson, 7315 Thomas Avenue, is presented for Council consideration at this time.

Background: Repair of concrete sidewalks, and concrete curb and gutter work is performed each year as a safety precaution. The maintenance program consists of removal and replacement of deteriorated concrete sidewalks sections and curb and gutter in various areas of the City. Bids from six contractors were opened on July 2, 1993 with the following results: Arcon Construction Company $17,946.00 Landmark Concrete, Inc. 29,423.97 Progressive Contractors, Inc. 32,908.50 Gunderson Bros. 33,614.00 Advanced Concrete, Inc. 41,363.30* Thomas & Sons Construction, Inc. 42,521.95 *Corrected amount; original $41,371.30 calculation was in error. • The adopted 1993 street maintenance budget includes $21,502 for the contractual share of the sidewalk, curb and gutter repair project. This contract is based upon estimated quantities and payment made on actual work performed. Construction of 22 pedestrian ramps, funded by Municipal State Aid (MSA) monies, has been added to this contract. Council authorized expenditure of MSA funds for this purpose by resolution on February 22, 1993. The total.amount paid to the contractor for this work in 1992 was $24,250.58. Recommended Motion: Accept the bid minutes/tabulation and award of contract for the 1993 sidewalk, curb and gutter repair project to Arcon Construction Company in the sum of $17,946. Basis of Recommendation: 1. Arcon Construction Company submitted the lowest responsible bid. 2. Funding for this project is available through the 1993 Street Division operating budget; as well as MSA money. 3. This repair work includes steps toward meeting the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), enacted July 26, 1990, which requires that public entities which employ 50 or more persons must develop an implementation plan mandating that all existing crosswalks be provided with curb cuts or ramps by January 26, 1995. 5 D-I • Alternative Recommendation: Council may choose to reject all bids and direct staff to obtain new bids; however, the bids received are in line with the amount of work which needs to be completed and staff does not believe a better price could be obtained from a reputable contractor.

Background: Cleaning debris from joints in concrete streets and alleys removes inflexible material that can cause the joint to erupt. during times of expansion. After cleaning, the joints are resealed with material that expands and contracts with the pavement surface. This also will reduce water intrusion into the pavement base, which weakens the street surface. 76th Street between 11th and 12th Avenues and nine alleys are scheduled for work. Bids were opened July 2, 1993 from four contractors for the 1993 joint cleaning and resealing project with the following results: Arcon Construction Co., Inc.. $49,397.00 Forby Contracting 49,756.50 Progressive Contractors, Inc. 58,392.75 Thomas & Sons Construction, Inc. 88,056.40* 0 *Corrected amount; original $87,976.40 calculation was in error. The street maintenance budget contains $45,335 for concrete joint cleaning and resealing. In addition, $10,000 is the estimate for alley joint cleaning and resealing in 1993. The contracts are based upon estimated quantities. Payments will be made on actual work performed. Council would be authorizing contracts at the stated amounts, with the stipulation that the contract documents allow variances. In 1990, $54,389.43 was spent on this type of work. In 1991, $51,562.35 was spent; and in 1992, $43,342.85 was spent. Recommended Motion: Accept the bid minutes/tabulation and award a contract for the 1993 joint cleaning and resealing project to Arcon Construction Company, Inc. in the sum of $49,397. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The bid from Arcon Construction Company, Inc. is the lowest responsible bid. 2. Arcon Construction Company, Inc. is a well-known and reputable company that has previously worked for the City. 0 3. The work is included in the 1993 budget. '5C-1 Alternative Recommendation: • The City'Council may choose to reject all the bids and direct staff to obtain new quotations. However, the bids obtained are reasonable, and staff does not believe a better price from a reputable contractor could be obtained. Discussion/Decision Mode: Council may choose to delay award of this contract. However, the contract documents allow the bidders to withdraw their bids after 60 days of the bid opening and an extended delay could result in the loss of construction season.

Thomas P. Ferber City Clerk is CITY OF RICHFIELD; MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 212 Agenda July 26, 1993 Issue Statement: Pay plan adjustments to achieve comparable worth compliance. Background: The Minnesota Local Government Pay Equity Act requires all local governments to achieve pay equity through comparable worth. The Minnesota Department of Employee Relations (DOER) which administers the Act gave the City of Richfield a noncompliance ruling on April 2, 1993. DOER has given the City an opportunity to make adjustments and submit a new report by August 31, 1993. Failure to comply by August 31 will result in penalties being assessed back to December 31, 1991. Compliance can be achieved with a number of minor adjustments to the City's compensation system. The most significant reasons for the City's noncompliance ruling concern technical reporting format issues, especially involving seasonal and intermittent employment. Beyond making reporting format changes, a pay structure change in the City's General Services Pay Plan will be necessary. However, the change will directly benefit a number of female dominated clerical positions, which is what the Comparable Worth Act intended to accomplish. • Compliance may be achieved by making the following adjustments: ? Create a Fifth Step in General Services Grade 1 This change would allow employees who are classified in this female dominated pay grade to progress to a fifth pay step based upon satisfactory performance. Currently, those employees may progress to a fourth pay step and be eligible for additional merit increases only upon above satisfactory or outstanding performance ratings. The merit range at the top of Grade 1 would not be increased since the fifth step would replace a portion of the merit range. The fundamental difference achieved by this change is that all employees of Grade 1 are assured 6f attaining step 5 as long as performance is satisfactory. Unfortunately, the method used by DOER to measure compliance does not-give credit for merit ranges such as are used in the City's General Services Pay Plan because the City cannot guarantee that all employees could attain the top of merit pay. The present and future cost of this adjustment is minimal since the top end of the entire pay grade has not been increased. However, any increase in personnel cost would be targeted toward a group of female employees at the entry level of the pay plan, which is desirable under the Comparable Worth Act. '56--1 • e Streamline Position Classifications The Personnel Division has carefully reviewed all of the position classifications and titles included in the City's .various pay plans. In some instances it was found that a number of related positions with the same point value and within the same pay grade could be combined into one job classification title. These changes reflect a more accurate description of the City's classification system, eliminate unneeded job classification titles and more closely resemble the classification structures used by many other metropolitan communities. Using many different job titles for similar positions can make it much more difficult for cities to conform to the Act under the current system of compliance analysis used by DOER. ? Seasonal and Intermittent Reporting For the current reporting period, many seasonal and intermittent job classifications are not required to be reported. This is due to the positions not working enough hours or days to come under the provisions of the Act. The City also modified the methodology used to credit the value of seasonal and intermittent positions in relation to full time positions. This change recognizes the brief or limited employment period for most of these employees. For example, many seasonal positions are for a period of less than three months. • The changes described above are included in the data that will be submitted in the City's Pay Equity Implementation Report which must be filed by August 31, 1993. Adopting and submitting a City Council approved pay equity implementation report before the August 31 deadline allows DOER time to run a preliminary review and notify the City of any changes which still need to be made prior'to the deadline. However, it is not anticipated that additional adjustments will be necessary by August 31. Recommended Motion: Adopt the resolution amending the 1993 General Services Pay Plan and authorize the Mayor and City Manager to submit the pay equity implementation report. Basis for Recommendation: 1. The present and future costs to the General Services Pay Plan for the Grade 1, step are minimal, and directly benefit a group of employees the Act intended to help. 2. The streamlining of the City's pay classifications will decrease the number of single incumbent positions and reflect a more consolidated version of the City's classification structure. 0 3. Early adoption and submittal of the report allows time for preliminary renewal and revision, if needed. 4. The modifications included here will place the City into compliance and will avoid a potential penalty of up to $159,000. Alternative Recommendation: The City may choose to not adopt some or any adjustments. However, the City will remain in noncompliance, be assessed penalties back to December 31, 1991, and still be required to come into compliance. Discussion/Decision Mode: In order to allow DOER time to conduct a preliminary review and the City time to make any further adjustments, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution, pay plan and implementation report on the July 26, 1993 City Council meeting.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 211 Agenda July 26, 1993 Issue Statement: Payment of arbitrage rebate for General Obligation Redevelopment Bonds of 1988 in the amount of $71,500. Background: The Tax Reform Act of 1986 extended arbitrage rebate rules to all tax-exempt bonds. The basic requirement is that earnings on any investment of gross bond proceeds which are in excess of what could have been earned if they were invested at that rate carried by the bonds, must be rebated to the U.S. Treasury. The arbitrage rebate must be remitted to the U.S. Treasury within 60 days of the five-year anniversary date from when the bonds were issued. The rebate calculation must be performed every five years until the bonds are retired. The $1,900,000 General Obligation Redevelopment Bonds of 1988 are subject to the arbitrage rebate requirements. The bonds were issued to provide funds for the permanent financing of public redevelopment costs in the Interstate/Lyndale/Nicollet (ILN) tax increment district. When the bonds were issued in May 1988, the bonds were not subject to the arbitrage regulations under the small issuer exemption (less than $5,000,000 issued in one year.) In October 1988, the City issued $7,830,000 of crossover refunding bonds and the small issuer exemption was no longer applicable. Deloitte & Touche performed the rebate calculation based on the daily cash flow of the bond proceeds and the interest earned thereon. The arbitrage rebate calculated was $71,500. Due to the extensive detail of the calculation and the due date of July 15, 1993, the rebate amount was not available until the week of the due date, and thus was not presented to the City Council until this time. Recommended Motion: Approve the payment of the arbitrage rebate for the General Obligation Redevelopment Bonds of 1988 in the amount of $71,500. Basis for Recommendation: 1. The arbitrage rebate regulations require payment of the rebate within 60 days of the five-year anniversary date of the bond issuance. Payment subsequent to July 15, 1993 would have included penalties. 2. Deloitte & Touche calculated the rebate to be $71,500. 3. City staff reviewed the supporting calculations and agrees with the rebate amount. 5M-1 4. The extensive detail required to make this calculation which must be processed by both the Finance Division and the accounting firm did not allow adequate time to present a specific rebate payment amount at the July 12, 1993 Council meeting. Alternative Recommendation: None. The City must make the arbitrage rebate payment according to Federal law. Discussion/Decision Mode: An interim check was issued to cover the City's rebate obligation on July 14, 1993. The payment should now be considered for City Council approval at the next City Council meeting which is July 26, 1993. Respectfully submitted, Ja D.
