f -------------- ■< <br />FEB'd 1999 <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />c,i I I v-»r onwiMW* <br />DATE; February 22, 1999 <br />ITEM NO.:/3 <br />Department Approval: <br />Name Gregory A. Gappa <br />Title Director of Public Services <br />Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: <br />Engineer's Report <br />Item Description: Approve Plans & Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids <br />Edgewood Hills Sanitary Sewer Project <br />Revised plans and specifications have been completed for this project. In 1998, plans for a gravity <br />sewer system were completed. Installation of gravity flow sewer will require twenty foot deep <br />pipe installations. Open cut installation of this sewer would be very difficult. To address <br />neighborhood concerns regarding access and disturbance of existing landscaping, directional <br />boring of the pipe was envisioned. Bids were obtained for a directional boring sewer project and <br />they were very high. The residents requested that other options be investigated. A less expensive <br />option that will result in minimal disturbance would to be install a forcemain system with <br />individual grinder pumps. These grinder pumps would be owned and operated by the <br />homeowners. The plans have been revised to include a grinder pump system option. Bids will be <br />obtained for both a directionally bored gravity flow system and a grinder pump forcemain system. <br />An assessment hearing will be held and the neighborhood residents can select which system they <br />prefer. <br />We are recommending approval of the attached resolution approving the plans and specifications <br />and ordering advertisements for bids for this project. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Motion to approve resolution approving the plans and specifications and ordering advertisement <br />for bids for the Edgewood Hills Sanitary Sewer project.
