supply for the course irrigation system. An outlet control structure with a removable weir will be installed to allow regulation of the water level in the pond. The realignment will require removal of several large trees. The existing drainage and utility easement will need to be revised to cover the new pipe. The new outlet pipe will be increased to 18" from the current 12" size. Modeling of the existing system indicates the pond would be above normal water level for almost 4 days for the 100 year event, after installation of the new pipe the pond will be above normal water level for just over 2 days. AREA 2 (Ponds North and West of the Club House) There are ponds northwest and north of the clubhouse. The northwest pond is connected to the north pond by a culvert under the cart path. The cart path is subject to flooding after a 2 inch rain event. The pipe will be replaced with 3 parallel pipes. The cart path will still be subject to flooding after a 4 inch rain event The design process evaluated raising the elevation of the path; however, this could cause water to overflow the pond bank towards the clubhouse. The 2 inch rain event has a probability of once every 5 years, the 4 inch rain has a 10 year probability. Golf course representatives were contacted during the design process and they felt over topping the path during an event larger than the 10 year event would be acceptable. The culvert under the path at the east end of the north pond will be replaced with twin pipes to provide better capacity and reduce the chance of over topping the path. AREA 3 (Area around Holes # 15 and # 16) There is an existing metal weir across the ditch which provides drainage for the course. The ditch upstream of the weir has silted in and in some places is overgrown with vegetation. The plans propose lowering the weir by 6 inches, removing the decorative rock lining the ditch, lowering the grade of the ditch and replacing the rock. The golf course will be performing work in area 3 to install draintile to address the the saturated soils on the fairway. They will also be stabilizing the pond dug during the summer of 2011. This pond was excavated to provide a drainage way for the saturated soils adjacent to the fairway. AREA 4 (Area around Holes #3 and #17) This area receives drainage from an area north of the golf course. There are a series ponds connected by culverts that are in poor condition that will be replaced. Several of the culverts have shifted to the point where the downstream end is higher than the upstream end, which restricts flow. The connecting ditches will be cleaned and regraded as part of the project. This project was reviewed by the Public Works Committee at the September 18, 2012 meeting. The motion was made to approve moving forward with the project and to bring the plans and specifications to the September 25 council meeting for approval of the plans and specifications and authorization to advertise for bids. The City Council authorized advertisement for bids at the September 25th meeting. The Committee requested that notification be provided to residents within 700 feet of the project. This notification was sent out during the period when the bids are advertised. The engineers estimate for this work is $105,000. During the bidding process, the estimated cost for the prefabricated planks for the wier manhole was received from the supplier. The cost seemed fairly expensive versus alternatives which would be sufficient, therefore an alternative wier manhole bid was added by addendum. The difference is the plank material and relative water tight sealing of the joints. Seven bids were received on October 16, 2012. The low bidder for both the base bid and the alternate bid was North Pine Aggregate with a base bid of $107,536.40 and an alternate bid or $98,211.40. The difference is $9,325. The extra cost would be a benefit only to the golf course. We communicated the cost difference to the golf course and they did not feel the added benefit matched the extra cost. Construction would begin sometime in November with substantial completion this year and final completion in the spring of 2013. Recommendation: Staff recommends Council award Project to the low bidder North Pine Aggregate in the amount of $98,211.40 for the Alternate Bid. Funding Source: The funding for this project will come from the Stormwater Utility Fund. Council Action: Motion to award the alternate bid to the low bidder North Pine Aggregates in the amount of $98,211.40. Attachments
