CITY OF CENTERVILLE <br />REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />Agenda Item # Department: Requested Council Meeting Date: <br />October 14, 2020 <br />Public Works/Engineering <br />IX.2 <br />TITLE OF ISSUE: <br />Downtown Street and Utility Improvements - Turf Restoration <br />BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: <br />At this point in the year, it has become difficult to get a reliable schedule on sod. The contractor is concerned <br />that we will not be able to get it in time for placement before freeze-up. With this in mind, we have made the <br />decision to switch to hydro-seeding of the disturbed areas. This product will take longer to establish, but is a <br />heartier product for those without sprinkler systems. The switch should mean a savings of around $15,000. It <br />is staff's suggestion to pass a portion (50%) of those savings on to the residents, businesses and institutions who <br />were assessed for the work. You'll recall that the assessments for businesses were at 50% of the total cost of the <br />project, while they were at 20% of project costs for residential property. This savings would result in an <br />average of around $200/home credit against their assessment. Credits would vary based on the amount of the <br />original assessment. <br />COST AND SOURCE(S) OF FUNDING: <br />Savings of around $15,000, with half being passed on to the assessed homeowners and businesses. <br />REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION: <br />Motion to approve credits to assessments on the 2020 Downtown Street and Utility Improvements Project in the <br />amount of half of the savings resulting from the switch from sod to hydroseeding. <br />SUPPORTED DOCUMENTS ATTACHED <br />Motion By: ____________________________________ <br /> Resolution Ordinance Contract Minutes Plan Map <br />Second By: ____________________________________ <br />Vote Record: Aye Nay <br /> _____ <br />_____ <br />Other (specify) ____________ <br /> _____ _____ Love <br /> _____ _____ <br />_______________________________________________________________ <br /> _____ _____ Koski <br /> _____ _____ Montain _______________________________________________________________ <br />Administration Department Use: <br />Refer to: _________________________________ <br />Consent <br /> Tabled Until: ______________________________ <br /> Regular <br /> Other: ___________________________________ <br /> <br />
