REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> Date: 8/13/12 <br /> Item No.: 7.i <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br />Item Description: Approve Resolution Awarding Bid for Skillman Avenue Drainage <br />Improvements Project <br />B <br />ACKGROUND <br />1 <br />Over the years, residents of the Skillman Avenue cul-de-sac west of Fairview Avenue have <br />2 <br />experienced street flooding and other drainage concerns during intense rain events. An extreme <br />3 <br />rain event occurred on July 16, 2011, that caused flooding in the street, as well as private <br />4 <br />property damage. <br />5 <br />Since the storm, City staff has completed a study of the storm sewer system on Fairview Avenue, <br />6 <br />including the storm sewer on the cul-de-sac, to analyze the existing drainage and localized <br />7 <br />flooding issues. The study also identified potential improvements that would reduce the level of <br />8 <br />flooding. <br />9 <br />City staff has been working with the Roseville School District, who has committed to partnering <br />10 <br />with the City to implement a flood reduction project. The proposed improvements include the <br />11 <br />construction of a rate control storm water pond at the southeast corner of the Fairview <br />12 <br />Community Center property, near the Skillman cul-de-sac (“Skillman Pond”). The pond will be <br />13 <br />constructed on non-play areas; no field use will be lost. This pond will hold water during rain <br />14 <br />events only; it will not be designed to hold a permanent pool of water. <br />15 <br />PO <br />OLICYBJECTIVE <br />16 <br />This area is listed as a problem area in the City’s Comprehensive Surface Water Management <br />17 <br />Plan (CSWMP.) One of the goals from the City’s CSWMP is to provide flood protection for all <br />18 <br />residents and structures as well as protect the integrity of conveyance channels and storm water <br />19 <br />detention areas. This project is also consistent with City water quality goals. <br />20 <br />Based on past practice, the City Council has awarded contracts to the lowest responsible bidder. <br />21 <br />The following is a summary of bids received for this project: <br />22 <br />23 <br />BIDDER AMOUNT <br />Valley Paving, Inc. $ 75,077.66 <br />GF Jedlicki, Inc. $ 82,211.00 <br />New Look Contracting, Inc. $ 86,479.05 <br />Minnesota Dirt Works, Inc. $ 88,377.00 <br />C.W.
