This repair should be made before the trail is paved. This could occur the week of May <br />24. Staff is bringing this agenda item forward at this time in order to be able to complete <br />the utility repair work prior to paving the trail. Waiting until the May 24th Council <br />meeting could delay the trail proj ect. <br />Once all of the construction is completed in this area, staff will work on a tree <br />replacement plan to mitigate the trees removed for trail construction, erosion correction, <br />and sanitary sewer repair. Trees will be planted to deter people from continuing to use <br />the existing dirt path. The location of the trees will be determined after the sanitary <br />sewer alignment is established. <br />Fin ancial Implications <br />The cost to repair this segment of sanitary sewer is estimated at $20,000. To replace the <br />sewer in its current alignment, the significant cost will be tree removal. To realign the <br />sewer to save the trees, the added cost will be the construction of two new manholes. <br />The cost of tree removal and the cost of additional manholes are approximately the same. <br />The cost for this repair will be paid for using Sanitary Sewer Enterprise Funds. $40,000 is <br />included in the 2010 budget for maintenance of utilities; to date, $3,807.73 has been <br />spent. <br />Council Action Requested <br />Authorize staff to contract with the company providing the lowest quote to make <br />necessary repairs to the sanitary sewer main along the easement off of Venus Avenue. <br />If the cost for the two alternatives is equal, provide staff direction for the preferred <br />alternative. <br />City Council Meeting <br />\�Metro-inet.us\ardenhills�PR&PW\Engineering\Council_Actions\2010\5-10- l OMemo_VenusSewerRepair.doc <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
