City M ager Approval
Item to be presented by:
T. Brad Therrien
CONSENT CALENDAR
DATE: July 8, 1997
SUBJECT: FOUR OAKS DEWATERING WELLS - PROJECT NO. 73007 - BID AWARD
DEPARTMENT: Building and Engineering Services
This project will install dewatering wells in the Four Oaks area. The wells are designed to lower
the area's high groundwater (see attached Location Map, Exhibit A).
On January 9, 1996, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 96-3 to proceed with an election
to form a Drainage Benefit Assessment District. The purpose of the Assessment District is to
provide funding for ongoing maintenance costs of the proposed well system. Installation of the
wells and the associated pumping system is being funded by a grant from the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
On February 20, 1996, votes from residents of the proposed district were received and counted
by the City Clerk's Office. The election results indicated that a majority of the residents who
voted supported forming the district. Subsequently, in November 1996, the' City began
assessing residents of the subject district.
During the project design, staff worked with affected property owners to acquire the necessary
easements to install the well sites. The property owners have agreed to grant the subject
easements at no cost to the City if the City lines an existing dirt drainage ditch with a concrete
drainage channel. The new channel will improve drainage and eliminate mosquito and odor
problems in the area. The estimated cost to design and construct the concrete drainage channel
is $57,000.00.
On May 13, 1997, Council authorized the advertisement of the subject project. On June 26,
1997, bids were received by the City Clerk (see Bid Results, Exhibit B). The Engineer's estimate
to complete this project is $283;000.00. This project is funded by a grant from the Federal
Emergency Management Agency and is available in Account No. 73007107. The grant will be
used to install the dewatering wells and resurface streets in the Four Oaks area. The
resurfacing will be completed as part of the City's 1996/97 Overlay Project.
