CASE # <br />.CONSIDER AWARDING BIDS FOR IP 08-37, <br />COUNTY POND STORM SEWER OUTLET <br />By: Leonard Linton, Civil Engineer II <br />Background: <br />The Ramsey Town Center Project was approved in 2003. The storm water plan called for <br />creating, a series of linked regional. ponds on the site, eliminating the need for small ponds in <br />each neighborhood of the project. The plan also included a storm sewer outlet from the ponds to <br />the Mississippi River. <br />The developer asked for permission to delay installation of the outlet pipe when they applied for <br />the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization (LRRWMO) permit. The LRRWMO <br />permit allowed for a percentage of the site to be developed before the pipe was required. This <br />was based on the established LRRWMO policy for development in closed basins without an <br />outlet. The permit stated the pipe must be operational prior to approving development beyond <br />the stated threshold. The project is near this threshold and the pipe will need to be in-place in <br />order to approve new developments in Ramsey Town Center. <br />In addition to the storm sewer installation, the plans include construction of a bituminous trail <br />within the same corridor to provide access to the Mississippi River. <br />This project generated significant interest, 52 sets of plans were sent out and 24 bids were <br />received.
