Item No: 8B _ _ Meeting Date: July 22, 2024 MOUNDS VIEW Type of Business: CB Administrator Review: City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Don Peterson, Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9962, Approving the Purchase of Additional Concrete Panels for an Outside Material Storage Bin Background/Discussion: The Public Works Department has many responsibilities, and one is to efficiently operate and manage the storm water system. The system was first constructed in the 1970's and as with other similar core functions, research, innovation, and best management practices have changed over the years. In 1974 the Federal Government adopted the Clean Water Act, this resulted in Cities applying for a MS4 storm water permit with the MPCA that includes best management practices (BMPs), the City has put many of these BMPs in place to comply with the permit. One of the many BMPs implemented is the practice of keeping debris out of the lakes and streams by sweeping the streets. Due to the many Storm Water Infiltration devices (SIP) installed the Public Works Department has taken a more aggressive approach to this BMP by sweeping, on an average, of 6-7 times during the spring, summer and fall seasons. (More sweeping will occur if build up is evident along the gutter lines.) These sweepings over the years have been accumulated at Ardan Park, behind the Ramsey County Compost site. The City Council approved Resolution 9783 authorizing Stantec to complete the assessments regarding Ardan Park, AA-1.P1 and AA-1-.P2 storm water ponds. Stantec and Staff are currently preparing and reviewing the 90% completed plans for dredging and improvements to Ardan Park storm water ponds; the project will also include the removal of the sweeping pile. With the proposed removal of this sweeping pile, the Public Works Department will need to change its operation and BMPs for sweeping. This change will require building an additional material storage bin at the Public Works facility. (See pictures for reference) The sweeping debris will be stored in the bin and every two years screened for trash and sand that can be recycled. Staff reviewed different options and determined that the same type of cement panel that was installed originally would be the best fit. Staff obtained a quote from Hanson Silo Company for 10 panels, transitions, installation, and freight for a cost of$20,000.00. Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Maintain and Plan for Infrastructure Improvements. Ensure Clean Water and Maintenance. Financial Impact: No financial Impact to the 2024 Budget. Recommendation: Staff recommends the City Council approve the attached resolution for the purchase of 10 concrete panels, transitions, installation and freight from Hanson Silo Company of Lake Lillian, MN at a cost of$20,000.00 to be funded from the Storm Water Fund account 745-4415-705 with a 2024 budget of$225,000.00 for Storm Water Projects.
