On March 16, 2021, City Council adopted Resolution R2021-030, approving the plans and specifications and ordering the advertisement for bids for the 2021 Alley Reconstruction Project CIF-20-009. On May 4, 2021, City Council adopted Resolution R2021-074, accepting the bids and awarding the contract for the project.

The improvements have been constructed and are now complete. The contract construction costs are $131,834.03, contingency costs are $22,561.14, and engineering/administration/legal costs are $21,540.72 resulting in a final total project cost amount of $175,935.89. The attached resolution declares total project costs, the final project funding amounts, and the total cost to be assessed.  

The final assessment amounts are based on the benefiting property areas. These are calculated using final construction costs in accordance with the City of Shakopee Assessment Policy.

The total final project amount is $175,935.89. Project funding sources include the Storm Drainage Fund and special assessments to the benefiting properties. The following table provides a summary of the costs and funding comparing the estimated amounts based on bid award versus the final actual amounts.

Of special note, following approval of the plans and authorizing bidding, the council directed to include street lighting improvements as part of the project. The replacement of one existing street light and the installation of a new second light in the west alley were subsequently completed. The street light work was not originally included in the project scope and was a primary factor resulting in the overbudget amount.
