~~~iNC ~ ossoa.oT~s <br />rau> noaru <br />Memo <br />TO: Mayor Blesener & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer <br />DATE: September 5, 2008 <br />RE: Miscellaneous Storm Sewer Improvements <br /> Approval of Plans & Authorization to Bid <br />Review of the City storm sewer system over the summer highlighted areas where <br />significant maintenance or repair is necessary. Several of these repairs can be more <br />efficiently completed by an outside Contractor rather than City crews and have been <br />combined into an improvements project. It was our recommendation to bid this repair <br />work separate from any street project to eliminate any markup from a prime contractor <br />due to the fact that a pipe contractor can complete all of the work. A list of the areas that <br />plans and specifications have been prepared for is below: <br />• Repair of the Flared End Sections (FES) in the Patrina Park storm pond system. <br />• Replacement of the storm sewer pipe under the St. Paul Waterworks trail. <br />Approval to move forward with this portion of the project was given at a Public <br />Hearing held earlier this spring. <br />• Replacement of a failed storm pipe in the back yards of the homes south of <br />Demont Avenue and adjacent to the school fields. <br />• Repair of a failed portion of the stormwater treatment pond between the <br />Parkview Court Townhouses and Rondeau Park. <br />The current construction market conditions are competitive as most contractors are still <br />looking for additional fall work. Therefore, at this time we are requesting plan approval <br />and authorization to bid or obtain quotes from the City Council. If you have any <br />questions please call me at (763) 780-0450 extension 13. <br />10062 Flanders Court NE-Blaine, MN 56449-(763)76P0450 fax (763)205-23x1 <br />Z:W ROJ1120t t0E - 2008 Storm Sewer\0060\Memo-090508-council (authorize bids).doc <br />
