H.1. 2024-299  
Certificate for Payment No. 1 for $229,351.22 to Duininck, Inc. and  
Certificate of Substantial Completion RE: T.H. 75 Storm Sewer  
Improvements  
H.2. 2024-302  
Duininck has completed the storm sewer work on T.H. 75. The total  
working days charged for the project was 30 (30 allowed). The  
detour portion of the project took 16 working days (15 allowed). For  
now, DGR has not included any liquidated damages, but this could  
be included in the final pay request if the council wishes to charge  
them ($900/day). Note, the existing pavement section was a little  
different than what we originally believed due to the center 24’ of the  
highway being asphalt over concrete vs the entire width of the road  
being asphalt over concrete. Because of this, MnDOT required  
3-lifts of asphalt (8” thick total) in the areas outside of the center 24  
feet. This required the Contractor to pave the asphalt patch over 2  
days vs 1 day to allow the asphalt to cool enough prior to placing  
the next lift. This also reduced the quantity of “Pavement  
Replacement (Type CX)” by 96.5 S.Y. ~$15,922 and increased the  
amount of Type SP 12.5 Bituminous Mixture for Patching by 10.64  
tons ~$2,766.  
City Administrator Recommendation: City Council Approve  
Certificate for Payment No. 1 for $229,351.22 to Duininck, Inc. and  
Certificate of Substantial Completion RE: T.H. 75 Storm Sewer  
Improvements.
