5.01: Provide City Council Recommendation to Relocate Sand Stockpiled on COR <br />Infiltration Basin Site <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby reviewed the staff report and recommendation that the Committee <br />recommend City Council approval to solicit quotes to relocate the sand stockpile from the COR <br />Infiltration Basin site to use as fill on the Municipal Plaza park property. He stated that a mix of <br />stormwater funds and park dedication funds could be used for this purpose. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley stated that the City has trucks and a loader and asked if staff could complete <br />this. <br /> <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer replied that would be a large project for the public works <br />staff and would take time away from their regular duties. <br /> <br />Councilmember Menth asked if the land would be placed for sale. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby confirmed that parcel is listed for sale. He confirmed that the City does <br />have the topsoil to place on the site. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley asked the timeframe. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated that the City can dictate the timeframe. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley stated that he would like to see the pile of sand moved but would not want <br />it to interfere with Happy Days and would like to see the work completed after that time. He asked <br />if the City would need to go for bid. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby replied that the City could solicit quotes because of the lower cost. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Riley, seconded by Councilmember Menth, to recommend City <br />Council approval to solicit quotes to relocate the sand stockpile from the COR Infiltration Basin <br />site to Municipal Plaza park. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Kuzma, Councilmembers Riley and Menth. Voting <br />No: None. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley asked for an update on the infiltration basin. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated that the contractor wired the drives backwards, therefore when the <br />switch was powered it fried the drives and new drives are needed. He stated that the City requested <br />a three-month extension from the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization <br />(LRRWMO). He stated that all the work is completed with the exception of that control panel. <br />He confirmed that it was a contractor error and will have no additional cost to the City. <br /> <br />Councilmember Menth asked the name of the electrical contractor. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee / June 16, 2020 <br />Page 2 of 6 <br /> <br />
