Larpenteur Avenue, it would reduce the frequency. <br />As discussed previously, the developer is on a tight time schedule for this work. There is 4 to 6 <br />week lead time for ordering of the pipe for the system, since the system goes under the parking <br />lot the window for completing the work is rapidly closing. As a result, if the City is interested in <br />partnering on a joint system the developer is asking for a firm commitment by May 23rd so that <br />they can move ahead with ordering the materials for the system. Since May 19th is the last <br />meeting until June, we are asking the Council for authorization to move ahead with the project at <br />this time. we are working on finalizing the agreement with the property owner. However, do <br />not have an agreement for the Council to approve at this time. <br />If we are unable to partner on this system at this time, the City will need to continue to look for <br />other locations for volume reduction in this subwatershed. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACTS <br />The proposed joint system has been bid as an alternate, the bid for the infiltration area is <br />$660,000, with additional costs to construct the pipe and control structure that would divert the <br />water from the City's existing pipe to the system of $105,068. According to our discussions <br />with the developer, this would mean a total City cost of $435,068. Staff would propose to fund <br />the City's portion of the system using storm water infrastructure funds. <br />Also, Capitol Region watershed District would credit the City for the volume reduction; this <br />credit could be applied to future City street projects where construction of infiltration basins <br />would not be practical because of clay soils. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff is requesting that the City Council approve the construction of the joint storm sewer system <br />and authorize staff to finalize negotiations with the property owner and developer. <br />REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION <br />Approve the construction of the joint storm sewer system and authorize staff to finalize <br />negotiations with the property owner and developer. <br />Prepared by: Debra Bloom, City Engineer <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
