Ramsey Conservation District 'tea �sr To: Grass Lake WMO Board of Commissioners From: Ryan Johnson, Urban BMP Specialist Date: 13 -Dec -11 Re: Aladdin Street Bioinfiltration Project: 2009 BWSR CWF Grant Background: The Grass Lake Water Management Organization ( GLWMO) in partnership with the Ramsey Conservation District (RCD), and the City of Roseville applied for a Clean Water Fund Grant through the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) in 2009 for the installation of a bioinfiltration basin at the south end of Aladdin Street in Roseville. The grant was awarded to the GLWMO in the amount of $32,000 later in 2009. The project was designed to capture water draining from the 2.3 acre watershed, that is 67% impervious, and allow water to infiltrate instead of running straight into the DNR protected wetland that is connected to Lake Owasso. The basin will remove 2.5 lbs /yr of Total Phosphorus and 864 lbs /yr of Total Suspended Solids which will help ensure Lake Owasso does not become impaired. Construction: There were multiple planning meetings between the RCD and City of Roseville to help ensure that the basin was installed correctly. Roseville wanted RCD staff to provide construction oversight for the project during installation, and the RCD made multiple trips out to the site and met with staff during the construction period in 2011. The RCD technical staff and City of Roseville engineer both agreed that North Valley, Inc. installed the project per the plans and specifications that were provided. Technical sign off of the project was done on November 16, 2011 by Deb Bloom, Roseville P.E.. The total installed cost of the bioinfiltration basin was $75,335.95. Reporting: The RCD was in charge of all the reporting to BWSR for this project through e -Link. The RCD will also be inspecting the site annually and reporting any corrections that need to happen to the City of Roseville to maintain a quality project for the life of the basin. Closeout: The RCD has completed all necessary items to close out the grant: certified all eligible expenses and prepared the BWSR Voucher, all reporting in BWSR's e -Link, and the submission of CWF Story. The City of Roseville can be reimbursed the amount of $27,000. The remaining $5,000 can be paid to the RCD for: 5% Administration cost associated with the e -Link reporting and CWF Story creation and submission; $3,400 for technical oversight and other technical duties performed during the planning and construction of the project. All the above cost figures were pre- approved by the City of Roseville engineer during a meeting on March 22, 2011. Request: The RCD requests that the City of Roseville be reimbursed in the amount of $27,000 and the RCD in the amount of $5,000 as it pertains to the CWF Grant. Supervisors: Carrie Wasley, AFlara Humphrey, Margaret Behrens, Given Willems, Janelle Anderson
