• AGENDA ITEM 6G • STAFF ORIGINATOR: James E. Studenski, City Engineer COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 9, 2004 TOPIC: Resolution No. 04 -114, Accepting Plans and Specifications and Authorizing Advertisement for Bids, 2004 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. Andall Street, 4th Avenue, Woodchuck/Bald Eagle Boulevard, Peltier Lake Drive, and various locations for storm sewer structure and pipe cleaning have been identified as areas for maintenance in 2004. The maintenance activity required at these sites is more extensive than what is typically undertaken by Public Works staff. 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 plans and specifications for the Surface Water Management project were ordered by the City Council. Preparation of the plans is substantially complete. City staff has prepared the plans and specifications for this work and is requesting Council approval to advertise for bids. The schedule for this project is as follows: City Council Approves Plans and Specifications City Council Authorizes Ad for Bids City Council Awards Contract Construction Begins August 9, 2004 August 9, 2004 September 13, 2004 September, 2004 OPTIONS: 1.
