The repairs identified are then divided into <br />two categories. The first being repairs that our public works staff have the staff and equipment <br />to undertake. The second being those which the city would be better served by hiring a <br />contractor that has resources needed for that repair. We have identified the repair of the Oak <br />Avenue storm sewer to fall in the contractor repaired category. <br /> <br />The Oak Avenue storm sewer picks up street drainage on Oak Avenue and then conveys it along <br />an easement that runs along a private driveway to 1680 Oak Avenue, see Attachment A for <br />location. At the low point in the driveway the storm sewer turns and discharges to the south side <br />of the driveway and eventually running through Tony Schmidt Park. The discharge point of this <br />storm sewer has eroded the slope downstream of the outlet and has the potential to erode the <br />private driveway, which is the only access point to the home at 1680 Oak Avenue, see site <br />photos in Attachment B. We have been in contact with the resident and they have expressed <br />concern about the driveway washing out to the point where it becomes dangerous to travel on the <br />driveway. <br /> <br />Staff has solicited quotes for this repair from three contractors. We received a quote from one <br />contractor. We received a reply from a second contractor stating they do not have time in their <br />schedule this summer to complete this work. The third contractor did not respond. The quote <br />we did receive was submitted by Dave Perkins Contracting Inc. in the amount of $36,841.00 a <br />copy of which is in Attachment C. <br />CONSENT ITEM - 5F <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br />
