Ryan Construction Co. submitted the'u bid for wnstruction of the State of Minnesota Revenue Building using information on per¢tit fees
�uoted by Saint Paul Public Works. The 1998 pemut fee schedale was not known at the tune of the bid. Certain criteria used in the 1998
°ee schedule resulted in a lazge increase For contractors that use the City right of way for extended periods of time. The fees are sh�uctured tc
:ncoucage early compledon and to minimize use o£ the right of way for construcdon activifies.

educGon in pernut fees will result in the contractor paying only the amount originally quoted for pernuu by Public Works and will serve
� align that expense with the amount bid by the contcactor for this project. Public Works staff believes the contractor has performed work
an expedifious manner and did not needlessly use right of way at the expense of the traveling public.

undue burden on finances for the Right of Way Aivision.
