Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SS 16fMMARYl Restoration fee A fee increase is requested for the restoration charge of a water service. This fee is currently $50.00 which covers the labor for locating the resident's water curb box. shutting off the water and turning it back on. The current amount does not include any administrative costs which include (3) mailing notices (2 of which are certified). book keeping expenses and many times an officer is sent to the house to try and deliver a certified letter that was not accepted by normal mail delivery. The proposed increase is $15.00. making the restoration charge $65.00. Street Opening Permits Staff is requesting/recommending that the City repair all street openings. In the past, utility contractors would estimate the size of an opening and the permit was issued accordingly. A few instances have occurred when the patch is not constructed properly and the City crews, in the end, make additional repairs to the patch. several months later, with no compensation. (This is due to settling, cracking. holding water. etc..) Staff is recommending that the City charge $500.00 to $700.00 to repair the street opening and refund the remaining balance to the contractor. The cost of the repair will include asphalt, labor. equipment costs and an administrative charge. A typical water/sewer opening would cost approximately $350.00. (3 man crew at $23.56 per hour each for I hour = $70.68 plus $100.00 for equipment, plus approximately $20.00 per ton for asphalt which covers 4 inch thick, 7 1/2 foot square patch, plus $100.00 administrative charge.) This will ensure a proper repair of the road and greatly minimize future repairs of the same street opening. Only in circumstances when multiple openings occur and an inspector is present during the backfilling and base proportion, will a contractor be allowed to construct installation of the bituminous surface. i Michael Ulrich.
