AGENDA ITEM 6B
STAFF ORIGINATOR: James E. Studenski, City Engineer
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 8, 2005
TOPIC: Resolution No. 05 -111, Accepting Plans and Specifications and
Authorizing Advertisement for Bids, 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. Clearwater Creek, Blackbird Lane, East
Rondeau Lake Road, Leonard Avenue, and Otter Lake Road have been identified as
areas for maintenance in 2005.
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.
In addition, we have reviewed 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 project schedule is as follows:
City Council Accepts Plans and Specifications
