Resolution 22-081 — Awarding a Bid for the Harding Pond Stormwater Quality <br />Improvements. <br />City Engineer Messner reviewed this resolution awards the contract for the Harding Pond <br />Stormwater Quality Improvement Project to the lowest bidder. <br />A drawing of the Harding Pond with sediment accumulation levels was shown to the Council. <br />The sediment needs to be removed to allow for rainwater storage. The proposed improvements <br />include removing unconsolidated nutrient rich soils, increase pond volume below Normal Water <br />Level, improve habitat and slow the accumulation of sediment deltas. <br />Bids were received for this project on Wednesday, November 9, 2022, and were opened and read <br />aloud. Eight bids were received. The bids were checked for mathematical accuracy. The low bid <br />was submitted by Nadeau Companies, LLC, Hampton, MN in the amount of $146,318.00. The <br />Engineer's estimate was $170,605.00. Staff recommends the City Council consider these bids <br />and award a contract in the amount of $146,318.00 to Nadeau Companies, LLC based on the <br />results of the bids received. The total project cost is $198,300 including $14,000 contingency <br />costs and $38,000 engineering costs. The funding source is from the St. Anthony Village <br />Stormwater Fund. The project schedule if approved this evening would include the pond draw <br />down in late November 2022 and excavation would begin in December 2022 (Weather <br />permitting). The final turf establishment would be in the Spring of 2023. <br />Councilmember Randle asked when the water is pumped out of the pond where is it pumped to <br />and Mr. Messner stated it would be pumped into the storm water system. <br />Councilmember Jenson asked what Mr. Messner's confidence level is with the lowest bidder. <br />Mr. Messner stated his coworkers have said they are reputable and have done work in the <br />southern metro. They came highly recommended. <br />Councilmember Walker asked if there is an annual rate at which the sediment settles. He also <br />asked how often the heat detection is done. Mr. Messner stated the sediment rate for ponds varies <br />by watershed area. WSB has a computer program which looks at the size of the pond and <br />determines when inspections should be done. The heat detection is done every 10 years. <br />Councilmember Walker asked about the bids and being such a large difference between the <br />highest and lowest bidder. The highest bidders may already have a lot of work on the books and <br />getting another bid would be icing on the cake. <br />Mr. Messner noted there was a public information meeting with the residents who live nearby the <br />pond. There were 5-6 attendees. <br />Motion by Councilmember Jenson, seconded by Councilmember Walker, to approve Resolution <br />22-081 — Awarding a Bid for the Harding Pond Stormwater Quality Improvements to Nadeau <br />Companies LLC in the amount of $146,318.00. <br />
