Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution ratifies a previous change order contract C22935 with Sylvester Custom Grinding, Inc. for tub grinding of tree debris from the July 21, 2016 wind storm and authorizes a second increase to that contract.
Council resolution 16-0631R, approved August 15, 2016, authorized an initial contract with Sylvester Tub Grinding for $71,676 that included 132 hours of tub grinding and 132 hours of trucking. Staff authorized change order #1 on August 22, 2016 that added 69 hours of tub grinding for an additional cost of $28,324 creating a new total of $100,000.
This resolution authorizes change order #2 which adds 93 hours of tub grinding for an additional cost of $40,000 creating a new total of $140,000.
Change order #2 is expected to provide enough hours to complete the tub grinding. The debris pile must be chipped as soon as possible to eliminate potential fire hazards and to make product chips available to Minnesota Power for biomass power generation.
