REVISED REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: May 13,2002 ITEM NO.: ^ Department Approval: Nane Gregory A. Gappa Title Director of Public Services Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: Public Services Director’s Report Item Description: Quotations for Highwood Road Storm Sewer Project We are in the process of soliciting quotations for a project to install a new storm sewer pipe to replace an existing pipe that is failing. This existing pipe drains an area adjacent to Highwood Road to Lake Minnetonka. This failing pipe has been causing flooding problems in several yards and threatening a home basement. The proposed project is to directional bore a new pipe from the ponding area adjacent to Highwood Road along a 20 foot wide platted alley to Lake Minnetonka. A project plan is included for your review. The pipe will be directionally bored, so no excavation will be required for pipe installation under the road and down the hill. Excavation will be required near the lakeshore to install a manhole and a short section of pipe. Riprap will be installed at the lakeshore. In order to protect the hill side, the contractor will be required to barge in the necessary materials and equipment across the lake to complete the work near the lakeshore. The estimated cost for this project is $40,000, and the project will be funded from the storm water utility fund. The deadline for the receipt of quotations is 10:00 a.m. on Monday, May 13"*. We will review the quotations on Monday and request Council approval to select the quotation from the lowest responsible contractor. Revisions May 13'^ We received one quotation for this project from MinnComm Utility Construction. Several of the other contractors that were sent the request for quotations were not interested in submitting a quotation either because they were too busy or had concerns about the logistics of coordinating with a barge company in order to bring materials and equipment across the lake. The quotation is for $39,755 which is less than the estimated project costs of $40,000. The City has worked with MinComm on other projects and we are satisfied with the quality of their work. The staff recommendation is to accept the quotation from MinComm Construction for completion of this project. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to accept the quotation from MinnComm Utility Construction, Mora Minnesota in the amount of $39,755.00 for completion of the Highwood Road Storm Sewer project. Motion to approve a budget adjustment for the year 2002 Stormwater Utility Fund Capital Improvement Budget in the amount of $39,755.00 for the Highwood Road Storm Sewer project.
