COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 11, 2003
TOPIC: Resolution No. 03-127, Accepting Plans and Specifications and Authorizing
Advertisement for Bids, 2003 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. Trappers Crossing, Millers South Glen, Pineridge, Pheasant Hills,
and several resident lot issues have been identified as areas for maintenance in 2003.
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
