Resolution 7274 Authorizing Completion of the Plans and Specifications and 14 Solicitation of Quotes for the Pinewood Storm Sewer Repair 15 16 Joe Rhein, consultant engineer from Bonestroo, reviewed the report on the Pinewood storm 17 sewer situation noting that Bronson Drive was reconstructed in 1996, and storm sewer was 18 extended from Bronson and Bell Lane North to a wetland along the eastern edge of Pinewood 19 Elementary School. Not long after installation the pipe began to float as the water pressure 20 increased and it heaved out of the ground in 2000. It was also found that there was a crack and 21 the joint was beginning to pull apart. In 2004 the public works director asked them to review it 22 and recommend repair. 23 24 Mr. Rhein indicated that the crack in the pipe is large enough for a small child to climb into and 25 it needs to be repaired. Public Works staff have secured the area to prevent anyone from 26 climbing into it. Joe indicated that this issue is a hazard that needs to be repaired and cannot wait 27 until the planned fix in 2009. Engineering costs are estimated to be between $6,000 and $7,000 28 and estimated construction costs are $45,000. 29 30 Mr. Rhein indicated that they would recommend coordinating permission to use the school 31 property for access to the site to replace the pipe. The school has indicated that during the month 32 of July there is little activity planned at the school, so July would be an excellent time to get the 33 job done. 34 35 Mayor Marty asked whether it was appropriate to separate out the engineering from the project 36 cost to keep the cost under the $50,000 bid requirements. 37 38 Finance Director Beer indicated that they are two separate items. 39 40 MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Mueller. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 7274, A 41 Resolution Authorizing Completion of the Plans and Specifications and Solicitation of Quotes 42 for the Pinewood Storm Sewer Repair. 43 44
