<br /> <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Date: 5/20/2024 <br />Item No.: 10.e. <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Item Description: Award 2024 Pond Maintenance Program Agreement <br />1 <br />2 Background <br />3 Citywide, there are 200+ public storm ponds that were installed since the 1950’s to meet <br />4 water quality goals, reduce stormwater rate, and help manage localized flooding issues. <br />5 Over time, the ponds fill with sediment and the design functionality diminishes. Staff is <br />6 currently prioritizing ponds to have preliminary engineering completed to quantify the <br />7 material that needs to be removed, determine potential water quality improvements, and <br />8 estimate costs based on removals. <br />9 <br />10 For 2024, five ponds have been identified to gather more information. The contractor will <br />11 supply the City a survey of pond bottoms, pond inlets and outlet elevations, a maintenance <br />12 memo with recommended maintenance activities and estimates, and sediment analysis to <br />13 determine disposal options. <br />14 <br />15 Policy Objectives <br />16 It is City policy to improve and maintain drainage to reduce the risk of localized flooding, <br />17 and to keep infrastructure in good working condition. <br />18 <br />19 Racial Equity Impact Summary <br />20 There should be no equity impacts associated with this agreement as maintaining our <br />21 storm sewer infrastructure benefits all residents and property owners. <br />22 <br />23 Budget Implications <br />24 Staff received one quote for this project, after sending to several contractors. The quote <br />25 was submitted by WSB in the amount of $23,700. The funding for this work will come from <br />26 the Storm Infrastructure Rehabilitation budget item through the Storm Fund CIP which has <br />27 an overall budget of $700,000. <br />28 <br />29 Staff is comfortable with the quote as it is in line with previous work completed by the <br />30 contractor. WSB is familiar with the process for collecting data and submitting information <br />31 to the City in a manner that is most efficient and effective. <br />32 <br />33 Staff Recommendations <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />Qbhf!222!pg!257 <br /> <br />
