II. BACKGROUND/SCOPE OF WORK PROJECT NAME: Roseville Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan Update A.INTRODUCTION The City of Roseville seeks a qualified, knowledgeable and experienced consultant to perform an update to the City’s Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan (CSWMP) that meets its current vision for managing its current storm and surface water drainage system. B.BACKGROUND The City of Roseville, Minnesota is a northern, first-ring suburb of both St. Paul and Minneapolis with an approximate population of 34,000 as of the 2010 Census. The City is fully developed with areas of sporadic infill development of smaller lots. The City is also experiencing redevelopment in areas such as the Twin Lakes Business Area near I-35W and County Road C. The City’s trunk drainage system is built-out. A number of urban flooding and water quality issues have begun to develop throughout the City. Resources to upgrade existing trunk storm sewer infrastructure are very limited. Hence, the City is taking a two-pronged incremental approach to stormwater management in order to reduce overloading on its existing hydraulic infrastructure and mitigate waterbody impairments by: Introducing small-scalestorm water Best Management Practices (BMPs) into its residential street projects. Establishing engineering standards that include volume control, rate control and pollutant mitigation requirements for development and redevelopment. The basis for the City’s current approach to storm water management is laid out in City Code Title 10, Section 1017.26B(2), which authorizes the City Engineer to review all proposed storm water facilities for conformance to the City’s surface water management plan (SWMP).The City conducted its first CSWMP in 1990, complete with city-wide modeling. The plan was subsequently updated in 2003 and is available for review upon request. The City feels that it is necessary to overhaul the existing CSWMP: To effectively manage its existing stormwater infrastructure while complying with stricter storm water regulations AND providing excellent customer service to its residents and businesses.
