I '9REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: April 19^^ \ ITEM NO: Department Appro?al: Name John R. Gerhardson Tide Public Works Director Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: Engineer Report lira Descnption: Kelly Avenue Sewer In 1995 after careful smdy of the storm water problem on Kelly Avenue staff recommended to Council to proceed with a storm water project that would have involved the installation of a lift station that would pump the storm water by force main to the Lydiard Avenue access/swimming beach. The project also included the replacement of a segment of the sanitary sewer line in Kelly Avenue. The City Council decided to not install the lift station but to raise the road approximately two feet in the low area as well as replace the sanitary sewer line in Kelly Avenue. After reviewing the televised tape of the sanitary sewer system it was determined to relocate a manhole on Kelly Avenue 50 feet to the south, replace the sanitary sewer line on Kelly Avenue and relocate a sanitary sewer line that runs east of Kelly Avenue through residential yards. This matter was presented to Council in November of 1995 and approved to acquire the easements necessary to construct the sewer line. The amount estimated for replacing the sewer line in Kelly Avenue only was $18,090, by replacing the sewer line east of Kelly Avenue the engineer’s estimate was increased to $45,000. Bid and specs were prepared and we advertised for bids with the low bid at $40,595.50. Funding ir n a The total cost of $40,000 is divided between replacing the sewer line under Kelly Avenue ($!8.000) and replacing the sewer line that is perpendicular to Kelly Avenue to move it out of the wetland area ($22,000). The $18,000 cost can be accommodated within the Sewer Operating Budget under the sewer line repair account. The replacement of the line perpendicular to Kelly Avenue requires a budget amendment to add $22,000 to the amount budgeted for Capital Outlay in the Sewer Fund for 1996. The Sewer Fund has sufficient reserves to accommodate this expenditure and these reserves have been set aside specifically tor this purpose. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Motion to award the bid for the Kelly Avenue area sewer project to Widmer Inc. at a cost of $40 595 50 to be funded from the Sewer Fund Operating Budget ($18,000) and from the Sewer Fund Capital Outlay Budget ($22,595.50), and amending the Sewer Fund Capital Outlay Budget to include the additional $22,595.50 expenditure.
