Meeting Date: 05/24/2016 By: Bruce Westby, Engineering/Public Works Information Title: Adopt Resolution #16-05-087 Approving Plans and Specifications and Authorizing Bids for Improvement Project #16-36, Business Park 95 Regional Stormwater Pond Improvements Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to consider adopting Resolution #16-05-087 approving plans and specifications and authorizing bids for Improvement Project #16-36, Business Park 95 Regional Stormwater Pond Improvements. Background: When the City of Ramsey developed Business Park 95, an existing low area was set aside to provide minimal stormwater ponding with no outlet controls. Available City records indicate the capacity of this ponding area was intended to be increased, and that an outlet was intended to be constructed, when warranted by future development. However, the pond capacity was never increased and an outlet was never constructed, and the business park is now almost fully developed. The recent business expansion of Dedicated Networks disturbed more than one (1) acre, necessitating a Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization (LRRWMO) Permit. The site was not large enough to accommodate the building expansion and the required increased stormwater ponding. The developer therefore approached the City about enlarging the existing pond area to accept runoff from the new building expansion. The stormwater management plan for Dedicated Networks provided for infiltration of runoff from the new impervious surfaces, with ponding provided in the adjacent regional pond. The permit was approved by the LRRWMO Board contingent on an outlet being constructed for this pond in 2016. Until such time that the proposed pond improvements are completed, other expansion requests from properties served by this pond will likely be denied. The proposed pond capacity and outlet improvements are designated as Improvement Project #16-36; Business Park 95 Regional Stormwater Pond Improvements. Notification: No notifications were required for this case. If Council approves plans and specifications and authorizes advertisements for bids, advertisements will be published in the Anoka Union Herald and in Finance and Commerce on May 27th and on June 3rd. Bids would then be opened June 21st, and Council would be asked to accept bids and award a contract for construction on June 28th. Work could then commence on or after July 1 lth, and be completed before mid -September.
