AGENDA ITEM Prepared By: JG Reviewed By: Approved By: DJR 1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain approval to proceed with preparation of a project to improve the drainage on the golf course. 2. Background. There is a natural low area around 7/8/9 fairway that has had severe surface drainage issues and minimal infiltration over the years at the golf course. This saturated area is a hazard for golfers and equipment operators with multiple carts and mowers getting stuck each year. The area is wet enough year round that golf course staff are unable to manage this vegetation through mowing. An asphalt cart path travels through this swamp from the 8th tee box to the 8th fairway and acts a dam holding a tremendous amount of water uphill from the cart path. This area should be drained as it is in play on 3 different golf holes and must be crossed directly to play hole 8. Staff has determined through practical experience and professional input from engineers that an excavated surface drainage swale which drains into the existing drainage main line is the best solution for moving water through his area. To cross over this drainage swale to the 8th fairway, a timber golf cart bridge will be constructed. The existing asphalt trail running from the tee box to the 8th fairway will be removed and replaced with an easier to maintain gravel cart path consisting of ¾”- limestone. A project of this scope will address the drainage issues and add a unique landscape feature that would be enjoyed on 3 holes. Restoration of turf areas and any plantings or turf cover along the drainage swale will be completed by staff. 3. Project Scope. Excavate a drainage swale for drainage, replace the existing asphalt trail with ¾”- limestone, and build a cart crossing bridge over the drainage swale. This project is a combination of Projects 19-034 and 19-035 from the 2019 Public Works Plan. 4. Cost. The City received two quotes. Contractor Quote Duininck Golf $72,460.00 Witt’s End Landscaping $29,285.00 Witt’s End Landscaping requires half of the total payment one month prior to the start date and the other half when complete. 5. Funding. This project will be funded through the Park Enterprise Fund and Stormwater fund. The Annual PW plan and the CIP budgeted a total of $41,400 for the projects; $21,400 from the Stormwater Fund and $20,000 from the Parks Fund. The Stormwater Fund has an estimated EOY19 balance of $1,047,912 and the Parks Fund $468,067. 6. Staff Recommendation. I recommend that the council accept the quote from Witt’s End Landscaping for $29,285.00. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Motion to accept the quote from Witt’s End Landscaping for $29,285.00 to excavate a drainage swale, replace the asphalt trail, and build a cart bridge.
