ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—May 10, 2010 14 8.A. Motion to Adopt Resolution 2010-023: Awarding Bid for the 2010 Pavement Management Program (continued) Councilmember Holden asked what kind of pipe there was on Janet Court. Civil Engineer Giga stated the sewer pipe on Janet Court is PVC. There is a sag in this line but because the pipe is PVC it does not impact the flow as much as the sag that is present in the clay sewer pipe on Valentine Crest Road. The lining of the pipe on Valentine Crest Road would be scheduled for a future date. Councilmember Grant clarified that the sewer lining was a noninvasive project and could be done at a separate time. He also stated the costs pertaining to the sewer or hydrants were not costs to the residents. The only costs to the residents were the costs of paving the road. Councilmember McClung asked Civil Engineer Giga if the tapes for the sewer pipe on Valentine Crest Road were reviewed and how the sags in this pipe would be characterized. Civil Engineer Giga stated the tapes had been reviewed and the sags were up to 2 inches, which can result in losing up to 25% of the capacity and restricting the flow. This is the point at which correction should be made. Councilmember Holden stated the sags in the sewer pipes on Valentine Crest Road are in clay pipes and there are cracks in the pipe along with sags. She stated there have also been tree roots in the pipes and replacing this section of pipe with PVC would correct these problems. Mayor Harpstead asked why the per unit assessment would be reduced if Janet Court were removed from the project. Civil Engineer Giga stated the reasons the amount of the assessment decreased with the removal of Janet Court include: the number of assessable units along this road compared to the length of Janet Court and that there is a property along this stretch that is addressed on Lake Valentine Road, which therefore would not be included in the assessment roll per the Assessment Policy. Mayor Harpstead asked if this proposal had been previously tabled with a motion. Councilmember Holden clarified at the previous meeting the motion did not include Janet Court and the motion did not pass. The motion failed with a 2-2 vote. MOTION: Mayor Harpstead moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to Approve Resolution 2010-023: Awardin bid for the 2010 Pavement Mana ement Pro ram to T.A. Schifsk & Sons,__Inc. of North St. Paul Minnesota, Excluding the proposed work for Janet Court, Councilmember Holmes stated Janet Court had been previously excluded but that was before the Council knew the extent of the sags in this stretch of sewer. She stated since the amount of sag is the same as Valentine Crest Road it should be included in the Jro'ect. p
