AGENDA ITEM 61
STAFF ORIGINATOR: James E. Studenski, City Engineer
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: July 12, 2004
TOPIC: Resolution No. 04 -99, Authorizing Preparation of Plans and Specifications, 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, and Woodchuck/Bald Eagle Boulevard
have been identified as areas for maintenance in 2004. Sites for maintenance in 2004 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, 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:
City Council Authorizes Plans and Specifications
