Subject: Lake Street Bridge Project Status - Pending Change Order
The Lake Street bridge replacement project is completed with the exception of the approach
roadway work and new sidewalks. However, as you know, this project hasn't been without its
difficulties. The August 2, 2002 Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) forcemain
break caused a significant, if short-lived, environmental incident and substantial additional costs.
. The MCES has jointly billed the city and Lunda Construction Co. for $47,870 in force main
repair/response costs. The City Attorney's office has been handling the actions for the city. We
believe that this bill will eventually be paid by two of Lunda Construction's insurance carriers. A
City Attorney memo is attached. There have been no MPCA fines levied as of yet.
Difficulties in constructing the utility pipe improvements have resulted in much higher construction
costs. The major factors that led to these higher costs include:
- Location of MCES force main different than shown on MCES as-builts
- Presence of old wood pilings under bridge
- While jacking 42" steel casing pipe, creek broke through into jacking pit
The attached SRF memo goes into more detail on construction changes caused by the above
factors. The cost increases caused by these factors amount to about $110,000. An additional
cost increase, $32.479.52, is due to increased labor costs caused by the one-year construction
delay. The original construction contract was awarded for $552,187.00. The majority of the
additional costs are divided between the water and sanitary sewer utilities.
The attached itemized cost sheet shows contract bid items not done because of the differing site
conditIons and the new work and associated costs of the actual work completed.
Mr. Bob Moore, lead construction inspector for SRF, will be at the worksession to discuss the
. project and help answer questions.

RE: Lunda Construclion'MCES Claim
The puq)(lSe of this Memo is TO update YOLl on the staTUs of the $-l7.870,DO claim received by the City fi'om the
Metropolitan Council EnviroTlmental Services Division ("1\1CES") for repair, monitoring and clean-up costs associated with
the Me ES sanitary sewer forcemain break that occurred on August 2, 2001, as a result of construction acti vities on the
Lake Street Bridge.
Un December 5. ] forwarued the i\'lCES cl3.im to '~lInd~i ((Instruction Cllmpany ("Lunda"") and its liability insurer, St. Paul
FIre and J\'larine Insurance COll1pan). and requested llw,e companies ",sume respllnsibtlity for payment urthe MCES
claim. l.unda. in turn. submitted thl' !'vlcrs L"laim to Its em imnll1entallictbilil\' insurance carrier. AI(, InSLlrance.
Since December 5, I have spoken with Joy Peterson, the claims adjuster from St. Paul Companies, and Stacy Broman, the e
attorney' for AIG lnsunll1ce, rvls. Peterson advised me St. Paul Companies will not assume responsibility for cleanup and
testing e~peIlses associated with the August ~ sewage spill, but. mo,t likely, will assume responsibility for the costs
incurred t,y :vlCES in e\cavaring and repzming the broken se\\er jine. Ms. Broman indicated it is likely AlG will pay all or
part (lfthe clean-up and testing co<;ts resulting hum the se\\'a~e spill. but that AIG needed to review copies o[the invoices
from the contractors retained by MCES to perform the clean-up work. Both Ms. Broman and I have written to \Villiam
Moore of MCES requesting that he provide copies oflhese Invoices as promptly as possible.
As I have indicated to you previously, it is m)' opinion the contract between the City and Lunda places sole responsibility
for tbe liabilities associated with the A ngllst ~ sanitary sewer forcclllain break on Lunda. Lunda and its insurers have been
placed 011 notice of the City's position, and I expect the $47,870.00 claim from MCES will be paid by those patties,
Please call me if you have any questions.

MEMORANDUM SRF No. 0993426
TO: Steve Bot, City of Hopkins
FROM: Robert Moore, SRF
DATE: March 19,2002
SUBJECT: LAKE STREET OVER MINI',r;HAHA CREEK
HOPKINS PROJECT No. 99-03
SAP No. 136-080-01
Following is a summary of changes made to the Sanitary Sewer and Water Main on the above
referenced project:
. Moved valve on the east side further to the cast to allow room for the jacking pit.
. Added an additional valve on the east side to keep water live to the new hydrant.
. Placed a temporary water service from the hydrant to the house on the north side of Lake
Street.
. Moved the valves on the west side fur1her \vest to allow room to construct the new Sanitary e
Manhole. This required additional bends to tie in the water service to the south.
. Due to location of the MCES force main, the jacking pit has to be placed on the west side
rather than the east. This requires additional sheet pile to secure the water main and a hypass
pump set up to reruute the sanitary sewer service from the south, to do this a temporary
manhole \vas set.
. An additional sanitary manhole is placed on the east side to move away from the MCES
force main.
. During jacking operations an old wood piling was hit on the west side of the bridge. This
caused a change in the casing sizes from two IS-inch casings to a 42-inch casing with 2
separate casings inside. This change was made to be able to access the casing to remove the
piling and to avoid any conflicts with additional piling during the water main jacking.
. While jacking under the creek, the creek bed broke through to the jacking and flooded the
jacking pit. With a lot of pumping and dfol1, the contractor gets the jacking across and the
flooding stopped.
. The sanitary on the east side is realigned because MCES will not allow us to dig next to their
line.
. A new manhole is constructed on the west side and two sanitary services are tied in.
. Several additional hends are needed to tic the water main together.
. Two corporation stops are needed on the water main for testing so we can keep water live to
the hydrant on the east side. .
. Water service on the east side is hooked up permanently.
