BACKGROUND An existing 36-inch corrugated metal pipe storm drain line near Yolanda Court failed during the winter 2017 storm events, causing the loss of 50 feet of the pipeline between two manholes, major erosion of the bank, and de-stabilization of the upstream manhole. On September 19, 2017, Council awarded the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, ELLA, in the amount of$194,300. In addition, the City Council approved task authorizations to Pakpour Consulting Group, Inc. for design and construction support services, and to BSK Associates to provide construction support services. To expedite the project, the pipe material was purchased through the Meadowlark Sewer Siphon contract with Manito Construction, Inc. DISCUSSION The storm drain line was repaired with a single piece of 36" fusible PVC pipe and additional pipe anchorage. The area was restored prior to the 2017/18 winter rains. The slope was rebuilt with a rip rap protection to help prevent future failures in the event the storm drain line plugs. Budget The final construction contract cost, including contract change orders, was $197,542.65. Change orders added additional stabilization material in the hydroseed and increased the slope protection area to help stabilize the area prior to the winter rains. The final project funding and expenditures are summarized in Attachment 1, indicating the total project expenditures of$328,666. Staff recommends transferring the remaining balance back to the Bi-Annual Storm Repairs and Improvements project, CIP No. 17415. Pakpour Consulting Group Inc. was authorized to expend $97,605 toward the design and permitting work but only expended $56,145. After submission to the regulatory agencies it was determined that a permit was not required, reducing the required permit design work. The storm drain was damaged during a Federal FEMA-eligible storm event and the City has submitted application ALPLF82 that will allow some of the project costs to be reimbursed. It is not anticipated that the full project cost will be reimbursed. Staff recommends returning the first $78,666 of any reimbursement received to the Storm Drain Enterprise Fund balance, and returning any additional reimbursement amount to the Miscellaneous CIP General Fund balance.
