Minutes of Special Meeting of
Boazd of Aldermen of City of Riverside, Missouri
July 7, 2004
A special meeting of the Board of Aldermen of the City of Riverside, Missouri, was held in the
City Hall, of Riverside, Missouri, July 7, 2004 at 7:00 p.m
Those in attendance were Mayor Betty Burch, Looker, Legaard, Super and Beazd.
Alderman Dazata Absent. Also present, Louise Rusick, City Clerk.
Corps of Engineers Fred Kraft, Field Project Manager, Patrick Miramontez, Estimator
Visitors/Discussion and Kathy Lust, Resident Engineer were present to answer questions
the board wanted clarified.
Mayor Burch asked why (ESI) Environmental Specialist, Inc.,
the general contractor for the Corps of Engineers stopped work on
the West Platte Road Bridge project. Kathy Lust said because
the city was looking at several bridge sites, they didn't know exactly where the
bridge was going to be placed and the stop log gap closure.
Pat showed drawings where the earth was removed at the W. Platte site
and was replaced with rock. It was at this time the "stop work order"
was received.
Rick Worrel, Affinis Corp said the stop log gap design was moving forward
at that time.
Because E.S.I. stopped work, the equipment was demobilized and has now
incurred several costs (impact fees of $75,000) excavation, fuel, wage rate and
rock fill increases and bringing back the equipment plus will be working in a
restricted area. The impact cost is more that E.S.I.'s base bid.
The additional amount the Corps of Engineers is asking for from the Levee
District is $707,872.27.
The amount estimated to replace the bridge is $1,307,872.27. Rick with Affmis
said the opinion of probable construction costs for the work on the roadway
(NW Vivion Road) to where the bridge would be placed (approximately 400
linear feet) is $225,000, the bridge cost is $700,000 with the road and bridge
totaling (minus E.S.I.'s) work is $925,000. The original cost was $890,000 to
put the bridge in place and the pile caps and deck costing $780,000. To get the
bridge in place, the $925,000 plus $1.3 million equals $2.2-2.3 million.
Alderman Super asked, "Who will take the responsibility to make sure
everything goes together when installing the bridge?" No definitive answer was
given.
