City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />October 8, 2014 <br /> <br />7. Approval of Change Order for Centerville Road Reconstruction Project – See Engineer’s <br /> Letter <br /> <br />Engineer Statz stated that it was understood throughout the project’s design that there would be a <br />conflict with two of MCES’s sanitary sewer forcemains and the proposed City trunk storm sewer <br />that cross under Centerville Road near Meadow Lane. It was planned that the forcemains would <br />be lowered beneath the new trunk storm sewer as this was the most economically feasible option <br />and has been completed on numerous other projects throughout the metro area. Engineer Statz <br />went on to say that upon submission for permits by the contractor, the MCES is now requiring <br />additional air release manholes and clean out manholes for the forcemains. The contractor <br />estimates an additional $91,000 for the new structures and equipment. Staff has considered <br />alternative options and chosen the most economical redesign of the storm sewer to be placed <br />underneath the existing forcemains of which the County will share 25% of the cost. The <br />contractor estimates this to be approximately $31,500 for the City’s portion, however, it will also <br />require and additional $4,000 for design and ditch lowering. Engineer Statz stated that the <br />contractor desired to commence work as soon as possible and a change order would be <br />forthcoming. Engineer Statz stated that a benefit of this work would be lowering the ditch which <br />would assist residents on east side of Centerville Road with drainage issues and cleaning of an <br />additional 230 fee of the city owned ditch along the south side of LaMotte Park. Engineer Statz <br />suggested taking the soil from the ditch trenching be placed within the park in an area of unused <br />which would act as a berm and be seeded. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding the Parks and Recreation Committee’s knowledge of the soil <br />placement, Engineer Statz’s knowledge of this issue prior to this point, potential for odor release <br />from the air release manholes, venting and filters are needed and warrantee period. Engineer <br />Statz stated that he would contact the Parks and Recreation Committee and felt that the <br />warrantee period was one year. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Fehrenbacher, seconded by Council Member Paar to Approve <br />a Change Order for the Centerville Road Reconstruction Project Relating to the design <br />and Installation of the City’s Trunk Storm Sewer Beneath MCES’ Forcemains in an <br />Amount Not to Exceed $35,500. Council Member King opposed. Motion passed. <br /> <br />8. Mr. & Mrs. Koran Request for Municipal Sewer Services (6769 Centerville Road) <br /> <br />Administrator Larson stated that the Koran’s recently had their home inspected due to placing it <br />on the market for sale and were informed that their septic system is failing. Administrator <br />Larson stated that the Koran’s are requesting that the city reconsider municipal sewer service <br />installation so that their home may be serviced. Administrator Larson reported that the Koran’s <br />had contacted him stating that they will install a new septic system on the vacant lot that abuts <br />their property until such time as the new owner desires to connect when it becomes available. <br /> <br />Administrator Larson stated that no action is required at this time. <br /> <br />X.
