SUBJECT: Award Bid — South Meadows Subdivision Drainage Improvements Project
MEETING: August 6, 2012
BACKGROUND: South Meadows Subdivision Drainage Improvements Project intends to alleviate
stormwater flooding and drainage conveyance issues in the Public Right of Way. This
subdivision was developed between 1977 and 1994 with an open ditch stormwater system on
public and private property. As the residential properties have developed, many of these ditches
have been filled or modified, causing the stormwater system to fail. A design has been
completed by the Engineer of Record for the stormwater drainage improvements and
construction bids were advertised starting July 15, 2012
Bids were opened on Thursday, August 2, 2012. Staff is in the process of reviewing the bid
submittals and is requesting postponing the bid recommendation to City Council. The postponement
will allow sufficient time to review the bid submittals.
ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to postpone awarding the bid for the South Meadows
Subdivision Drainage Improvements Project to the August 20, 2012 Council Meeting.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The project will be funded by the Stormwater Fund.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested and approved by the City Council.
