Mayor Kuzma aye Motion carried. 7.04: Adopt Resolution #21-305 Ordering Plans and Specifications for Improvement Project #22-05, Riverdale Drive Trunk Utility Improvements, Llama Street to Bowers Drive City Engineer Westby explained this case is the second part of the case just presented and adopted. He stated the intent of this case is to allow bidding the utility improvements separately from the roadway improvement to speed the construction process to help facilitate Capstone’s construction schedule. City Engineer Westby stated the estimated project costs are $1,234,000. Bolton and Menke, Inc. has submitted a proposal to prepare plans and specifications with a not-to-exceed fee of $175,205, which is included in the indirect project costs. He noted this is higher than the previous fee because of the addition of a sanitary lift station that is part of this project and takes a lot of associated work and cost. Project costs are proposed with utility enterprise funds which will be paid back with trunk utility fees collected at the time of development. An alternate fee in the amount of $18,865 is included in the proposal to prepare plans and specifications for a watermain loop between the south and north sides of Highway 10 at Puma Street. This loop is included in the City’s Comprehensive Water Supply Plan and is his recommendation to include. Councilmember Musgrove referenced the lift station and asked if it would only service the Capstone addition or are there other areas it would potentially serve. City Engineer Westby replied it would serve the broader area, more than Riverstone South. It would also serve the undeveloped farm land and allow them to add land West of there if that land was developed. Councilmember Musgrove asked if the costs would be brought back to the City through the development cost process. City Engineer Westby answered, that is correct, through trunk fees that are charged to the developments. Councilmember Musgrove also asked if the Puma Street estimate would be included. City Engineer Westby replied it would be good form and appreciated. Motion by Councilmember Musgrove, seconded by Woestehoff, to Adopt Resolution #21-305 Ordering Plans and Specifications for Improvement Project #22-05, Riverdale Drive Trunk Utility Improvements, Llama Street to Bowers Drive to Include a Watermain Loop Between North and South Sides of Highway 10 in the Area of Puma Street.
