Nfnp <br />To:Athanasia LewisFrom:Kellie Schlegel <br />City of CentervilleMinneapolis <br />Project/File:193807381Date:May 22, 2025 <br />Reference: City Hall Stormwater Reuse Grant <br />The city was notified by Rice Creek Watershed District in February 2025 that they were approved for up to <br />$25,000 in grant funds for the City Hall Stormwater Reuse project. This project will utilize stormwater from the <br />pond behind City Hall to irrigate the City Hall property. At the time of the grant application, the City committed <br />an additional $25,000 in matching funds, for a total estimated project cost of $50,000. The Council formally <br />accepted the grant and committed the matching funds at the March 12, 2025 meeting. <br />City staff has met with and received quotes from two contractors to install the irrigation system, including the <br />pump. The quotes consist of a base bid to irrigate all areas of the property except the southeast corner, and <br />an alternate bid to irrigate the southeast corner. The quotes are summarized below: <br />Contractor NameBase Bid QuoteAlternate 1 QuoteTotal Quote <br />Irrigation Doctor Inc.$34,350$3,000$37,350 <br />Peterson Companies$41,720$4,806$46,526 <br />In addition to the irrigation installation costs, the city will be required to provide a power source for the system. <br />The city received a quote of $4,195 from Aid Electric to provide the power source. <br />Also, the grant requires that design plans and specifications for the project be prepared and signed by a <br />licensed professional engineer or landscape architect. The estimated cost for this work is $4,000. <br />In summary, the estimated total project costs for the project fall within the $50,000 total previously authorized <br />by the City Council for either the Base Bid, or the Base Bid plus Alternate 1. <br />The next steps would be for the city to sign the grant agreement (which is due to the watershed by May 31, <br />2025), request plans and specifications be prepared and provided to the contractor, and then approve the <br />contract with the contractor to complete the work and designate whether the alternate should be included in <br />the project. <br />Regards, <br />Stantec Consulting Services Inc. <br />Kellie Schlegel, PE <br />Senior Associate <br />Phone: (612) 712-2125 <br />kellie.schlegel@stantec.com <br />Attachment:Grant Application, Grant Agreement, Contractor Quotes <br />73 <br /> <br />
