Section CONSENT AGENDA Item No: E.9.
Prepared By Paul Oehme, Director of Public
Works/City Engineer
File No: PW437
PROPOSED MOTION
“The City Council approves a quote for Lake Lucy Lane Storm Sewer Improvements to Minger Construction in the
amount of $64,982.75, City Project No. PW437."
Council approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
BACKGROUND
In the fall of 2017, an old 8inch field tile failed under Lake Lucy Lane just south of Pheasant Hill Park. This tile was
the primary means of discharging surface water from the wetland on the north side of Lake Lucy Lane to the south
side. Due to failure (collapse) of this field drain tile after large rain events, Lake Lucy Road floods and has to be
pumped down. The only means of discharge currently is through infiltration and evaporation.
Staff has studied the problem and worked with the neighbors on a solution. The city also needed to work with the
Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District to obtain a permit since wetlands are adjacent to the project area. The
city enlisted the services of Wenck and Associates to work through the permit process as soon as the problem was
identified.
Staff originally envisioned just replacing the old field tile with a culvert pipe. Due to the potential wetland impacts and
hydraulic considerations, this plan was soon dismissed. After many meetings, discussions, and plan revisions, the city
was able to obtain a Watershed District permit on April 4th. The plan calls for constructing a storm sewer system with
storm sewer manholes. The design also includes many more feet of pipe than was originally planned. After receiving
the Watershed District permit, the city was able to solicit construction quotes.
On April 13th at 2:00 PM, the City received quotes as follows:
G.F. Jedlicki $98,263.50
GM Contracting $94,867.09
Minger Construction $64,982.75
Minger Construction was the low bidder. Minger Construction has worked on other city projects and their work has
been acceptable.
