Hanson <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />TO: Mayor Hanson & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: April 22, 1994 <br />RE: Noel Drive Storm Drainage Improvements <br />(Our Project ¢93-15) <br />Attached is a letter from the City Engineer regarding storm <br />drainage improvements for Noel Drive. These improvements are to <br />be constructed over the culvert for County Ditch #16. These <br />improvements have been requested by the Watershed District and <br />are our responsibility due to a verbal agreement with the <br />Watershed whereby they corrected all erosion problems along the <br />County Ditch in return for our construction of the storm drainage <br />facilities. These improvements are needed to minimize erosion in <br />the County Ditch. <br />In discussing this project with the City Engineer, we proposed to <br />have a simple specification sheet put together and obtain <br />competitive quotations from area contractors. (Because the <br />amount is under $25,000, formal bids are not needed.) We would <br />hope that this process will result in a cost for the project <br />below the Engineer's estimate. The manner of construction being <br />proposed would also allow for the ultimate reconstruction of Noel <br />Drive some time in the future whereby this work will not have to <br />be re -done as a result of that process. <br />Based on this information, it is the recommendation of staff that <br />the Council authorize us to proceed with these improvements as <br />proposed. The source of funding for this work would be our MSA <br />Account #403. <br />JRH:kpv <br />Enclosure <br />cc: Dave Harris, Public Works Superintendent <br />Mike Lynch, City Engineer <br />Page 137 <br />
