City Council meeting of December 16, 2002 Page 9 PELOOUIN INDUSTRIAL PARK PROJECT UPDATE City Engineer Dave Mitchell discussed the status of the contractor's efforts to complete the final phase of this project. The contractor, Richard Knutson, Inc., claims to have encountered difficulty in jacking a sewer pipe under TH61. Miron made motion, Haas seconded, that the City accept staff' recommendation and: 1) agree to pay $27,825 to RKI should their subcontractor be successful with the HDD installation of a casing pipe under TH61; 2) provide a 20 -day window in which no liquidated damages would accrue; and 3) negotiate the extension of temporary easements necessary to complete the project. All aye. Motion Carried. WEST ONEKA LAKE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (COST ESTIMATE) On November 25, 2002, Water Resource Engineer Pete Willenbring from WSB Engineers and City Administrator Mike Ericson held a meeting in the Oneka Room to assist property owners along the West Oneka Lakel165" Street Ditch Project to sign easements. Pete and Mike answered questions of the property owners, and a few easements were signed and notarized. One question of concern to one property owner was how much the project was going to cost them. As Council is aware, three individual property owners will pay for the bulk of the project at the time they develop their property. Since assessment of the project would be difficult for the other property owners, staff proceeded with the assumption that the other property owners would not bear any of the costs of the project for their property. The project would be paid for by the City's storm water trunk and ponding fund. In addition, as directed by Council, plans and specifications for the West Oneka Lake Drainage way project have been prepared as outlined in the project summary memo from WSB. The cost to clean out the drainage system from 165'" St to the Fegowi Parcel (current project) and construct the Oneka Lake outlet pipe from the lake to the Oneka Ponds development storm sewer (future project) is now estimated at approximately $255,000 plus indirect costs. Pete estimated trunk fee revenues from the Busy Bee Enterprises, Arcand, Fegowi parcels, when developed, should exceed $350,000. If the City wishes to construct this project this winter, they may wish to approve these construction plans and authorize the advertisement for bids at this meeting. Miron made motion, Granger seconded, to accept the construction plans and authorize advertisement for bids for the West Oneka Lake Improvement Project.
