Memo .Ct IZA1NG - 11SSIJQ41T -1_S TO: Mayor Blesener & Members of the City Council FROM: Lee Eifering, City Engineer DATE: April 21, 2005 RE: 2489 McMenemy Street Installation of Storm Sewer Culvert Drainage Improvements The memo in the last council meeting packet summarized the drainage issue between the properties at 2489 and 2481 McMenemy Street. As the memo indicated, quotes were received to install approximately 275 feet of directionally drilled pipe from the street to the west end of the 2489 property. The two contractors that quoted this work were as follows: MinnComm $ 9,257.50 Red Peterson Utilities $ 9,465.00 Due to the relatively high cost of drilling the pipe the entire length, we requested that these two contractors supply a quote for a shorter 75 foot directional drill. This 75 foot directional drill would start at the street and extend beyond the back of the house at 2481 McMenemy. From that point the water would flow overland to the west end of the lot and eventually to the wetland to the south. If any ponding occurred between the pipe outlet and the west end of the lot, City crews could construct a small swale along the property line to ensure proper drainage. I have spoken to the property owner at 2481 regarding this option and he has indicated that it would be acceptable. At this time only one of the contractors has supplied a quote for this shorter directional drill, which is shown below: MinnComm $ 5,800.00 Red Peterson Utilities $ Not received yet. In an effort to minimize cost for the drainage improvement we would recommend the shorter directional drill option be approved. We will provide the amount of the second quote when it is received.
