MEMORANDUM
TO:

fO.~
Brenden Pond Culvert Improvements (2244 Lake Lucy Road) - PW420
FROM:
Gordy Stauff, Engineering Technician IV/Construction Manager
DATE:
October 9,2006
REQUESTED ACTION
Approve quote with Kusske Construction Company, Inc.
BACKGROUND
The existing 30" culvert located just east of 2244 Lake Lucy Road becomes easily blocked
with debris during large rain events. The potential flooding hazards to adjacent homes and
properties was evidenced on September 4, 2005 when flood waters came within inches of
entering a home's lower elevation window openings.
The existing topography does not allow for the construction of an emergency overflow swale
which is normal storm sewer design practice. Staff has studied this issue and modeled the
drainage area. The recommended improvements include increasing the capacity of the
existing 30" inlet, improve the inlet to minimize debris from blocking the inlet and adding
secondary inlets in the event the primarily inlet becomes plugged.
Staff does not have the expertise or equipment to fix the problem in-house but has solicited
quotes for the work. The work involves placement of two inlet structures, regrading the
immediate area, and placement of rip rap. Access to the site will be through City-owned
Outlot A, which will reduce the yard restoration necessary at 2244 Lake Lucy Road.
Staff has contacted the affected property owners and has informed them about the potential
improvement project.
Two quotes were received for the improvements as follows:
Parrott Contracting, Inc.
Kusske Construction Company, Inc.
$23,586.00
$19,980.00
Kusske Construction Company, Inc. was low by $3,606.00. Kusske has done work for the
City in the past and their work has been acceptable. The engineer's estimate was $26,015.00.
Funding is proposed from the Storm Sewer Utility Fund.
Staff recommends awarding the contract to Kusske Construction Company, Inc.
