Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morel= <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />In order to keep the Arcade Street project on schedule, the City <br />Council will need to approve plans and specifications and <br />authorize the bidding of this project. Our goal is to have bids <br />received by March 3rd and the contract awarded by March 12th with <br />construction to start as soon thereafter as practical. However, <br />some issues need to be resolved before plans and specs are put <br />out to bid. <br />Ditch 7A is one of these issues. Attached are the minutes of the <br />neighborhood meeting conducted by the Watershed District on <br />Thursday, January 16th. The neighborhood was very receptive to <br />the proposed project, and drainage in this area should be greatly <br />improved. We will need authority to add this project to our bid <br />package with the understanding that the Watershed District will <br />be responsible for associated costs. <br />The Watershed is estimating its work at approximately $160,000. <br />However, Paul Heuer has informed me that to accommodate their <br />project, there are some additional storm sewer costs we would <br />need to incur totaling approximately $90,000 (see memo from Paul <br />Heuer dated January 15th attached). <br />It is my recommendation that we authorize the inclusion of this <br />project within our work scope subject to the receipt of <br />appropriate documentation from the Watershed District which <br />acknowledges their responsibility for the costs associated with <br />this component, including the additional $90,000 identified in <br />Paul's memo. This recommendation is made with the understanding <br />that we would be accepting responsibility for ongoing maintenance <br />of this system in the future. (That is a requirement of the <br />Watershed to increase the project beyond normal ditch <br />maintenance.) <br />Page 23 <br />
