AGENDA ITEM! 6F
STAFF ORIGINATOR: James E. Studenski, City Engineer
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: July 25, 2005
TOPIC: Resolution No. 05 -99, Authorizing Preparation of Plans and
Specifications, 2005 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. Trapper's Crossing, Clearwater Creek,
Blackbird Lane, East Rondeau Lake Road, and Otter Lake Road have been identified
as areas for maintenance in 2005. Sites for maintenance in 2005 will be further defined
in the plans and specifications.
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. If, after we begin preparation of the construction
documents, discover the cost of a specific maintenance activity far outweighs the
benefit, we may recommend reductions in the project scope.
• In addition, we will be reviewing 20% of the City's MS4 outfalls, sediment basins, storm
sewers, and ponds to comply with NPDES requirements.
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:
