Public Works Committee 5. 5. Meeting Date: 09/17/2019 By: Bruce Westby, Engineering/Public Works Title: Recommend City Council Approval of Hedgehog Street Drainage Improvements, Improvement Project #19-10 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to recommend City Council approval of Hedgehog Street Drainage Improvements, Improvement Project #19-10. Background: The property owner at 15639 Hedgehog Street informed Staff in 2018 that stormwater runoff from Hedgehog Street and 156 th Lane NW runs through a ditch on their property but lately the runoff is extending outside the easement area to within about 10 feet of the back door. The property owner inquired what the City could do to help prevent stormwater runoff from ponding in their back yard. City Staff collected topographic survey data in late 2018 and early 2019, and is now preparing draft plans, specifications and cost estimates for a drainage improvement project that includes re -grading the existing drainage swale along the south property line of 15639 Hedgehog Street, directly across from 15611 Lane NW. The ditch and proposed grading improvements are located within an existing drainage easement that front several properties in the area. The City will not need to acquire easements to complete this work. Staff is proposing to bid the project this fall/winter in hopes of receiving better bids based on the time of year, and based on bidding numerous projects at the same time. Staff will present the draft plans and cost estimate during the Public Works meeting. A copy of the draft title sheet from the plans is attached for reference Timeframe: Staff estimates approximately 5 minutes will be required for presentation and discussion of this case. Observations/Alternatives: Observations: Staff plans to request City Council approval of plans and specifications and authorization to advertise for bids on September 24th. Construction is proposed to be substantially complete this fall or winter, and complete by June 30, 2020. Alternatives: Alternative # 1: Motion to recommend City Council approval of Hedgehog Street Drainage Improvements, Improvement Project #19-10. Alternative #2: Motion of other. Funding Source: Staff is finalizing plans and estimated costs and will present these during the meeting. Project costs are proposed to be split evenly between Stormwater Management and Stormwater Utility Funds. Recommendation:
