REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: <br /> CMO <br /> STAFF REPORT Report Number: <br /> ��W <br /> AGENDA SESSION DATE Report Date: <br /> DISPOSITION <br /> Item Description: <br /> Mounds View fee schedule changes <br /> Administrator's Review/Recommendation: <br /> - No comments to supplement this report <br /> - Comments attached. <br /> Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) <br /> SUMMARY: <br /> Restoration Fee <br /> A fee increase is requested for the restoration charge of a water service. This fee is currently $50.00 <br /> which covers the labor for locating the resident's water curb box, shutting off the water and turning <br /> it back on. The current amount does not include any administrative costs which include (3) mailing <br /> notices (2 of which are certified), book keeping expenses and many times an officer is sent to the <br /> house to try and deliver a certified letter that was not accepted by normal mail delivery. The proposed <br /> increase is $15.00, making the restoration charge $65.00. <br /> Street Opening Permits <br /> Staff is requesting/recommending that the City repair all street openings. In the past, utility <br /> contractors would estimate the size of an opening and the permit was issued accordingly. A few <br /> instances have occurred when the patch is not constructed properly and the City crews, in the end, <br /> make additional repairs to the patch, several months later, with no compensation. (This is due to <br /> settling, cracking, holding water, etc..) Staff is recommending that the City charge $500.00 to $700.00 <br /> to repair the street opening and refund the remaining balance to the contractor. The cost of the repair <br /> will include asphalt, labor, equipment costs and an administrative charge.- A typical-water/sewer <br /> opening would cost approximatcly $350.00. (3 man crew at $23.56 per hour each for 1 hour = $70.68 <br /> plus $100.00 for equipment, plus approximately $20.00 per ton for asphalt which covers 4 inch thick, <br /> 7 1/2 foot square patch, plus $100.00 administrative charge.) This will ensure a proper repair of the <br /> road and greatly minimize future repairs of the same street opening. <br /> Only in circumstances when multiple openings occur and an inspector is present during the backfilling <br /> and base proportion, will a contractor be allowed to construct installation of the bituminous surface. <br /> ,1 e''' ‘j'el —' <br /> Michael Ulrich, Public Works Supervisor <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br />
