• AGENDA ITEM 6B STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Powell, City Engineer COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 27, 2000 TOPIC: Resolution No. 00 - 36 - Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids, 2000 Surface Water Management project VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority BACKGROUND: After storm water ponds and drainage ways are constructed, they require periodic maintenance to ensure their effectiveness. Three sites have been identified for maintenance in 2000. The sites include a pond in Reshanau Park Estates 2nd Addition; a pond in Fox Trace; and a ditch located on the north side of Birch Street at Totem Trail. The maintenance activity required at these sites is more extensive than what is typically undertaken by Public Works staff. The selected sites also have limited accessibility. They have been combined into one project in order to minimize mobilization costs. The funding for this work is provided by the Surface Water Management Fund. This fund was established in 1992 as a revenue source in order to meet the "administrative, planning, ponding, mitigation, and water quality needs" of the City. It is reimbursed through assessments to new subdivisions and is also collected as property owners connect to City utilities. • The schedule for this project is as follows: • City Council Approves Plans and Specifications City Council Authorizes Ad for Bids Open Bids City Council Awards Contract Construction Begins March 27, 2000 March 27, 2000 April 26, 2000 May 8, 2000 June, 2000 OPTIONS: 1.
