Re: Damaged Concrete Curb — McKean Square
File No. 55 -03 -129
Dear Eric:
C ' 06s t
-Vko
As discussed at the on-site meeting on Monday, August 28, 2004, the contractor, Burschville Construction, has
provided construction costs for the two methods of removing and replacing the damaged curb within the
development. It is estimated that approximately two - thirds of the total quantity of 8,410 linear feet of curb and
gutter in the development is damaged.
Method I is to remove and replace the damaged curb by individual segments by hand placing the concrete. This
has also been described as a patchwork method. The unit cost for Method 1 is $30.50 /LF, which totals $30.50 x
5 /LF = $181,040.00. The bid unit price for removing and replacing curb & gutter is $22.00117. The increase
to $30.50 /LF is based on additional requirements by the City to meet industry constructability standards due to the
majority of the concrete curb that would require patching.
Method 2 involves removal of 100% of the concrete curb, including 2 -feet of the adjacent existing bituminous base
surfacing, followed by the placement of new concrete curb and patching of the bituminous base surface. The unit
cost for Method 2 is $1 7.75 /LF, which totals $17.75 x 8,000 /LF = $142,000.00
The costs provided by Burschville Construction have been reviewed and compare favorably with costs for similar
work within the Metro Area. After reviewing the two methods of construction, and the cost provided by Burschville
Construction,.r�t is recommended the City proceed with Method 2 for the following reasons: :�
® The developer and their contractors were informed many times at the weekly construction meetings to
protect and not damage the concrete curb.
i The over all cost for Method 2 is less.
0 Machine placed curb is more durable than hand placed curb.
0 Replacing approximately 2/3 of the curb and gutter via Method 1 will result in the panels being
disconnected ( "free floating ") and increase the likelihood of differential settlement.
a The bituminous patching resulting from the hand - placed curb has a potential for increased settlements of
the final bituminous surface, reducing the life of the pavement.
a Long term street maintenance will be less of a cost.
® The City will rece the final end product in which it was expecting.
incerely,
David D. Hanson

Construction Trailer for the McKean Square Project
.Attendees:
Eric Johnson, City Administrator, Jay Johnson, Public works Director
Ken Hooge, Mike Price (Valley Senior Services Alliance — developer's office)
Dennis Postler, Leo Pawelsky, and Dave Kansan - Bonestroo
The purpose of the meeting was to review with the developer the evaluation for the concrete curb
and gutter damage assessment in the McKean Square project. That damage has been due to
building construction activity.
Dave Manson did make a thorough site evaluation of the concrete curb on Friday, July 23, 2004.
As we looked at the concrete curb damage in the field, he did tell everyone that the pink dot on
the pavement at the center of the panel is a panel of curb that is not acceptable to the City. All
curb that is not painted with the pink dot is acceptable. I did review the status of the evaluation
and that approximately 66% of the curb is damaged. There was quite a bit of discussion
throughout the meeting from all parties involved with the meeting describing how and who could
have damaged the curb. Specifically, Ken I3ooge mentioned that prior to coming to the meeting
he did actually see the bituminous driveway contractor damaging curb. Dennis Postler also
noticed there was some recent curb damage after Friday. The curb continues to be damaged.
Ken mentioned that he was concerned about what the cost would be to replace this. Eric Johnson
mentioned that he should probably try to collect some of the cost for the repair of the concrete
curb from the contractors that are working for him. Eric asked if they have any retainer of the
subcontractors, potentially to use that retainer to help pay for the replacement of the damaged
curb. It appears that VSSA's contract for all the single - family and multiple family town home
construction is with Krongard Construction, and that all /most sub - contractors are Krongard's.
Quite a bit of discussion was held regarding what methods could be used to remove and replace
the curb. The discussion was really two methods. one was to remove all dama ed curb & gutter
panel by panel and hand place the concrete curb and patch out in front of the street and behind
the curb. The contract with Burschville Construction does include 10% curb patching. Also
note that there is about 8,500 feet of curb on the project. 10% of that would be 850 feet
anticipated to be damaged.
The second method would be to remove all curb & gutter and mill and grind up 2 feet of the
existing bituminous from the front edge of the bituminous out towards centerli e, and then to
physically remove the concrete curb to grade and compact that gravel area and he existing
bituminous would be mixed in with the gravel base. The contractor would grade. and compact
that. The concrete curb would then be placed and then the street, the two -foot bituminous patch,
would have to be placed in front of the new concrete curb before the wear course is placed.

Discussion followed on what other issues there would be for remove and replacement. There
was discussion about the sprinkler systems that are right behind the curb that would be an issue.
The subcontractor would have to deal with the sprinkler system and the sprinkler heads. There
was discussion regarding the driveways and that there would have to be patching of the
driveways. Specifically there would be patching of bituminous driveways, or driveways on the
opposite side of the street of the sidewalk. As part of the project, there is a concrete apron
between the concrete sidewalk and the concrete curb. Those would be done at the time the curb
& gutter was replaced.
Eric Johnson mentioned to the developer that the cost to do this replacement would be 100% the
developers. Further comment by Eric, was that long term for the City, this curb damage is not
something the City could accept because the curb would have to be prematurely replaced down
the road. There would have to be a special assessment against the property, and at that time the
cost would be significantly greater. At this time, the developer still has his contractor's on site
who have caused the damage and will be able to recover his costs much more easily.
Next item involved trying to get costs for this work. Bonestroo is going to meet with the
contractor, Burschville, and get two different costs for the two different methods for
replacement. We will get a cost from the developer for the removal and replacement in what I
consider a patch job. Remove and replace segments of curb. The second cost we will get from
them is to remove and replace 100% of the curb. Both Bennis and I expressed our opinion that
the cost for removing 100% of the curb would be more feasible and probably is the preference of
the City's vs. having 60 -70% of the curb being hand placed and patched.
We told the City and developer we should be able to get those costs within a week.
Next item: The coordination of the placement of the sidewalk. It was scheduled to start Monday
or Wednesday of this week. However that schedule has been held back due to this issue and this
meeting. We further discussed that we'll tell the contractor to proceed with the sidewalks,
however, he will not be able to do the sidewalks adjacent to the pedestrian ramps because there
are a lot of pedestrian and curb ramps that have to be removed and replaced. They will have to
stop short of that. Also they will not be able to place the sidewalk across the driveways. We did
discuss in detail and in depth that the concrete sidewalk, the concrete driveway apron and the
curb by those driveways would be done all at one time to minimize the inconvenience to the
property owner or residents of the property.
We told the developer that once we understand and talk with the contractor we would get back to
them with the schedule for the sidewalk.
