Adopt Resolution #24-077 Authorizing The City of Ramsey to Submit Information to the Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (MPFA) and to Enter into a Grant Agreement with the MPFA

On March 28, 2023 the City Council adopted Resolution #23-061 accepting bids and awarding a contract for construction of Improvement Project #21-09, Centralized Water Treatment Plant.  This contract was awarded to Magney Construction in the amount of $31,528,500.  As part of this project, the City of Ramsey has solicited outside funding sources and during the 2023 Minnesota Legislative Session, the city was awarded $3.2 million in state bonding proceeds.  A requirement of state bonding proceeds is for the project to pay workers prevailing wages.  The awarded contract did not initially include the prevailing wage requirement due to the fact that at the time of advertisement for bids, the city had not been successful in obtaining state bonding dollars.  On February 13, 2024 the City Council adopted Resolution #24-059 approving change order #1 to the project, which applies prevailing wage requirements to the project and thus satisfying the eligibility requirements for being awarded state bonding proceeds.

The attached resolution authorizes the Mayor and City Administrator to submit and sign applicable documents to enter into an agreement with the Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (MPFA) who is administering the bond proceeds awarded to the project.  Staff will work with MPFA to provide necessary documents to receive the awarded funds.
