qASFffih-hE REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 4/18/11 Item No.: I La Department Approval City Manager Approval Item Description: Request to extend working hours for the 2011 Sanitary Sewer Lining Project 1 BACKGROUND 2 Michels Pipe Services is the City's Contractor for the 2011 Sanitary Sewer Lining Project. This 3 project is currently underway and includes the lining of sanitary sewer segments that collect and 4 convey significant amounts of wastewater. We have received a variance request from the contractor 5 to allow night work to complete the segments located on heavily traveled roads that require closure 6 of traffic lanes to complete the work. The variance is intended to reduce property owner 7 inconvenience by completing the lining during low -flow time periods and also result in fewer traffic s disruptions. Night work is proposed at the following locations: 9 • Intersection of County Road B and Dale Street 10 • County Road B in front of the Fairview Community Center 11 • Long Lake Road at the 1-35W ramps 12 • Intersection of Long Lake Road and Terminal Road 13 The requested variance is to City Code Section 405.03 HOURLY RESTRICTIONS OF CERTAIN 14 OPERATIONS which permits construction activities to occur between the hours of seven o'clock 15 (7:00) a.m. and ten o'clock (10:00) p.m. on any weekday, or between the hours of nine o'clock (9:00) 16 a.m. and nine o'clock (9:00) p.m. on any weekend or legal holidays. The Contractor is seeking a 17 variance to complete the work during the month of May over a period up to eight nights. It is 18 anticipated that each segment should be completed in one to two nights of work. 19 A variance to this section of code requires a Public Hearing before the City Council, per code 20 section 405.04. We have mailed out Public Hearing notices to all properties within 350 feet of the 21 corridor. Any comments that we receive will be shared with the City Council as a part of the Public 22 Hearing. 23 POLICY OBJECTIVE 24 The Contractor is working to limit the sanitary sewer service interruption and traffic disruption 25 necessary to complete this project. They are asking for the variance so that they can reduce the 26 inconvenience for the public. 27 FINANCIAL IMPACTS 28 There is no direct financial impact to the City of Roseville. However, completing these segments 29 during normal working hours may impact area businesses, the travelling public, and the Contractor. 30 STAFF RECOMMENDATION 31 Approve the variance as requested. 32 REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION 33 Approve the variance to extend the working hours for the 2011 Sanitary Sewer Lining Project.
