MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />JULY 24, 2019 <br />EMERGENCY The Public Works Director reported that there is a storm sewer pipe on <br />STORM SEWER County Road B2 that picks up flow from a small area around two of <br />REPAIR ON Abbott's properties. He explained that at some point in the last year, that <br />COUNTY ROAD B2 pipe detached from the catch basin and the slope has been washed out. The <br />pipe drops approximately 40 feet from the road down to a pond south of the <br />road. The Public Works Director stated that the concern is the integrity of <br />the road due to the amount that is being washed out. He reported that he <br />had been planning for this repair and gotten some bids, but none of the <br />contractors would be able to get to this job until fall at the earliest. He <br />explained that St. Paul Utilities, one of the contractors who bid, called the <br />city engineer today and said they had to leave a job unexpectedly and so <br />they could do this repair job starting on Monday, July 29. He reported that <br />they have offered to do the work for $73,000. He stated it is staff s <br />recommendation that the work be done as soon as possible to protect the <br />street. He explained that if more water flows through the pipe and erodes <br />the slope, it could work back towards the street and undermine the curb and <br />roadway. <br />The Public Works Director stated that this repair work will be paid from <br />the infrastructure improvement fund. He noted that there is no easement <br />over this pipe on Abbott's property, but they have been very <br />accommodating to date on projects like this on their property, and he will <br />contact them to ask permission to complete this repair. <br />Keis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOL UTION NO. 2019-7-89 — APPROVE THE STORM SEWER <br />REPAIR ON COUNTY ROAD B2, AND A WARD BID TO ST. PA UL <br />UTILITIES AT A COST UP TO $73, 000 <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Fischer. <br />Ayes (5). <br />Nays (0). Resolution adopted. <br />ADJOURN There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:40 p.m. <br />hn eis, Mayor <br />Atte : <br />Christopher Heineman, City Administrator <br />0 <br />
