Staff thought this would be the ideal time to make the storm water improvements rather than making the improvements in the future and have the work area impact future rentals of the lower shelter in 2022. The issue at the south end of the park is the amount of water that channelizes and flows across the park has caused numerous washouts over the years. The water comes from north of the tennis courts and includes some of the school’s storm water. Past repairs have included fortifying the known areas where the washouts occur with coconut matting, which worked for a while but also eventually failed. Knowing that the water channelizes in these areas makes it easier to install a pipe to carry the water rather than letting it flow over ground. The City Engineer has provided a plan to make the necessary improvements to address the storm water issues. The improvements needed are the installation of cleanout to capture the water (that travels from north to south in this area of the park) north of the lower shelter and have the water travel through 260 feet of storm sewer pipe underground to an existing storm sewer structure to the south to prevent slope erosion. The Engineer’s Estimate for this project was $69,186.00. On July 16, 2021, quotes were received for the Spooner Park Storm Sewer Improvements Project. We have worked with Forest Lake Contracting on similar projects in the past and have found their work to be timely with good workmanship.
