£1JU IIiG . ASSO(IAT-ES <br />TRU MOI RU <br />Memo <br />TO: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer <br />DATE: September 18, 2014 <br />RE: Centerville Road Storm Pipe Project <br />Bid Rejection <br />As reported previously, the low bid amount received for the installation of a storm pipe <br />along Centerville Road was significantly over the estimated cost. At the September 10th <br />Council meeting we recommended the Council delay any action on the bids to allow time <br />to investigate other options. We have since met with Ramsey County regarding the <br />condition of Centerville Road and the need for improvement of the street in the very near <br />future. Based on that meeting we feel it would be most economical and beneficial to <br />work with the County to expedite the improvement of Centerville Road in the 2015 <br />construction season. This may require the City to carry the costs of the improvement for <br />a short period, but would allow the storm pipe to be installed by direct bury method and <br />eliminate disturbing the paved surface for the storm pipe installation alone. <br />We have reviewed the Public Works storm water and grading plan and with some minor <br />modifications we feel the piped storm water outlet for the site can be delayed until next <br />construction season. For the short term, the storm water that is not infiltrated on site will <br />be conveyed into Pioneer Park just as under the existing conditions. <br />Due to the cost of the stand alone storm pipe project and the County's willingness to <br />expedite the improvement of Centerville Road we would recommend the City Council <br />reject all bids for the Centerville Road Storm Pipe project. <br />10062 Flanders Court NE - Blaine, MN 55449 - (763) 780-0450 fax (763) 205-2341 <br />Z:P12OJ\120176E - Centerville Road Storm Pipe\0060\Memo-091814-CC (Bid Aotion).doc <br />
