October 18, 2024 Final completion <br /> The ideal time to construct drainage improvements is typically during the drier months of July and August. Turf <br /> establishment and erosion control removal will occur between substantial and final completion. <br /> Notification: <br /> Upon Council approval, advertisements for bids will be published in the Anoka County Union Herald on Friday, <br /> May 31 st, and again on Friday, June 7th. <br /> Observations/Alternatives: <br /> Observations: <br /> A MnDOT utility permit is required before construction can begin. Staff has applied for this permit and <br /> anticipates receiving it soon. A Lower Rum River WMO permit is not required, and neither is a permit from the <br /> City of Nowthen since the work will occur in MnDOT right-of-way. <br /> Alternatives: <br /> Motion to adopt Resolution#24-123 approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisements for bids <br /> for Improvement Project#24-04, Ford Brook Estates Drainage Improvements. <br /> Funding Source: <br /> Estimated construction costs based on final plans and specifications total$231,000. Approximately$131,000 is <br /> attributable to the proposed drainage improvements along 180th Lane NW, and$100,000 is attributable to the <br /> proposed drainage improvements South of 180th Lane NW. Estimated construction costs for all drainage <br /> improvements North of 180th Lane NW to the outlet South of Ford Brook was split evenly between and added to <br /> the attributable costs above. <br /> Staff prepared final plans and specifications as part of their normal duties. <br /> Topographic survey along the proposed storm sewer routes was completed by Bolton&Menk in the Fall of 2023 <br /> in the not-to-exceed amount of$3,460. <br /> The proposed improvements will benefit various properties within the Ford Brook Estates residential <br /> neighborhood. The City of Ramsey charges residents and businesses a monthly stormwater utility fee to provide a <br /> dedicated source of revenue for stormwater drainage projects to correct drainage issues and for stormwater <br /> maintenance operations. Funding is therefore proposed to come from the stormwater utility fund. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> On March 19, 2024, the Ramsey Public Works Committee reviewed the plans and recommended City Council <br /> approval of plans and specifications and authorization to advertise for bids. <br /> Staff recommends adopting Resolution#24-123 approving plans and specifications and authorizing <br /> advertisements for bids for Improvement Project#24-04, Ford Brook Estates Drainage Improvements. <br /> Action: <br /> Adopt Resolution#24-123 approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisements for bids for <br /> Improvement Project#24-04, Ford Brook Estates Drainage Improvements. <br /> Attachments <br /> Resolution 24-123 <br /> PWC case Sept 19, 2023 <br /> PWC Mtg Min Sept 19, 2023 <br />
