City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

05/11/2021

BACKGROUND

Previously, the City authorized survey and civil engineering design for drainage improvements to Sycamore Creek at Westchester Drive, Savannah Drive Detention Basin, and Dietz Creek at Arroyo Verde.

The Sycamore Creek at Westchester Drive project includes establishing the channel section by removing silt, grading, installation of concrete riprap at existing pipe outfalls, and providing erosion control. The Savannah Square Detention Basin project includes deepening of the basin and ensuring positive drainage to the outfall point. The Dietz Creek at Arroyo Verde project includes excavation of silt, filling and erosion control to protect existing sanitary sewer and water line crossings, and installing permanent erosion control. Erosion control methods employed by this project minimize soil loss and turbidity of effluent runoff.

Bids for 2020 Silt Removal Projects were opened on April 20, 2021. Two bids were received. Of the two bids, the lowest bid was from Myers Concrete Construction, LP. Staff has reviewed the bids and supporting documentation and determined that the bid from Myers Concrete Construction, LP is acceptable.

GOAL

To obtain authorization from Council to execute a contract with Myers Concrete Construction, LP for $291,627.47, and a not to exceed amount of $320,000, for the 2020 Silt Removal Projects.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT

Silt removal leads to an increase in water depth of these watercourses and detention basin and decreases the risk of flooding. Further, providing erosion protection over existing sanitary sewer and water line crossings protect the City’s ability to safely dispose of effluent and provide safe drinking water.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

Authorize execution of the construction contract for the 2020 Silt Removal Projects with Myers Concrete Construction, LP, for $291,634.58 and a not to exceed amount of $320,000.

FISCAL IMPACT

The cost of the project shall not exceed $320,000 and funding is available from the General Fund. The General Fund allocated a total of $1.1 million to drainage projects. Currently, $500,000 is allocated to other projects, with $320,000 available for the 2020 Silt Removal project.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends Council approve Resolution 21-R-39 and authorize award of the bid for the 2020 Silt Removal Project to Myers Concrete Construction, LP for $291,627.47, and a not to exceed amount of $320,000.
