Water/Wastewater Operations Supervisor Troxel offered to answer any questions in regards to the proposal to re-designate the budgeted FY2019 Capital Sanitary Sewer Projects to several sewer lining projects. Mayor Adams commented that it is his understanding that due to gas lines being located in inappropriate places for us to actually do the work we have changed what we have planned to do to some other means and asked Mr. Troxel to explain what those are. Water/Wastewater Operations Supervisor Troxel stated that they have picked out an area to do cured in place pipe. He explained that this is basically what they have been doing recently on the South side of town. It is where a lining product is inserted in the sanitary sewer main and is expanded and cured in place and is as strong as a regular sanitary sewer pipe. Troxel commented that it is a lot cheaper technology allowing more to be done by doing this. He commented that instead of approximately 2,172 feet, we are going up to 7,945 feet of sanitary sewer main and line it for approximately the same cost, if not a little less. Troxel stated that they have two manholes to replace and the remaining manhole covers will be shot with a concrete mixture. He stated that they are most likely brick and will be reinforced with concrete on the inside to extend the life. Mayor Adams stated that on the first four projects, there is a gas line that runs over the top of our sewer line which makes it difficult to access that situation. He commented that this doesn’t mean we are not going to do those projects, they will be done eventually. Troxel confirmed. Mayor Adams commented that in the meantime, while we are figuring a way around that, we are going to complete these other projects. Troxel confirmed by saying yes. Councilman Law commented that it states that it is being put off in order to reword the franchise agreement basically so that we are not picking up the cost and wondered how large of a task that would be. Troxel stated that staff is working on it now. Eddington, Harkins and Estes have a draft and are looking at refining it. Councilman Kinney moved and Councilman Law seconded to approve the FY2019 Capital Sanitary Sewer Projects as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
Streets/Sanitation Supervisor Hawley, and Project Manager Weis presented the FY2020 Chip Seal Placement bid results. Project Manager Weis stated that on January 23, 2019 bids were opened for the Fiscal Year 2020 Chip Seal bids. Weis reported that the low bid was received from Croell, Inc. of Douglas, WY with a total bid of $107,875.60. Weis commented that it is their recommendation to award the Base Bid, Schedule A, and Alternate Bid, Schedule B of the FY 2020 Chip Seal Placement to Croell, Inc from Douglas, WY in the amount of $107,875.60 and reserve $4,624.40 for contingency for a project total of $112,500.00. Weis stated that this is what is typically budgeted for chip seal which allows for some cushion. Mayor Adams commented that a good portion of the project will take place south of the railroad tracks between 19th and 14th and then West A to West C. Project Manager Weis commented that they like to crack fill one year and follow it up with chip seal the next year. He stated that Haines Street will get both crack fill and chip sealed this year as they did not have the money for it last year. Councilman Kinney commented on the contingency amount being a meniscal number. Weis reported that with preparatory chip seal projects, typically there is no overrun as everything is measured and mapped out. Weis stated that the 4% should be more than enough. He commented that we haven’t had to touch contingency in chip seal for three years. Councilman Kinney commented on the area that is going to be fog sealed. He questioned why it would be put over chip seal as it is typically used for aged asphalt. Weis replied that typically that is what it is used for. He reported that currently there is an application where they are fog sealing chip seals. Weis reported that the chip seal is being followed with dura sweeping to get a light coat of oil. He said that it is being painted black as well as getting a better chip retention and hopefully not getting the dust. Councilwoman Hill moved and Councilman Law seconded to approve the Sealed Bid – FY2020 Chip Seal Placement as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
Ed Hawley, Streets/Sanitation Supervisor and Mark Weis/Project Manager presented the 2019 Crack Fill Project. Weis stated that on January 23, 2019 bids were opened for the 2019 Crack Fill Project. He reported that the low bid was received from Highway Improvements, Inc. from Sioux Falls, SD in the amount of $37,255.35. Project Manager Weis commented that $37,500.00 is normally budgeted and we are asking that we reserve the $244.65 for contingency. He said contingency is rarely used as it is instructed that based on dollar amount when “x” number of linear feet is reached, the project is done. Mayor Adams asked Weis to define the difference between chip seal and crack fill. Weis replied that crack fill is just that, we are filling cracks with hot tar and it keeps moisture from getting into the subgrade. He said when you start getting moisture in subgrade you start having asphalt failures or concrete failures. Weis explained that chip seal is an application of an oil over the whole street followed by an application of 3/8 chips and it gives a wearing force and adds friction. Councilman Law moved and Councilman Kinney seconded to approve the Award Bid – 2019 Crack Fill Project as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
Project Manager Weis presented the Agreement of Professional Services with DOWL Engineering. Project Manager Weis explained that the project started back in 2009 and it was a water line replacement. He said that there were various areas throughout town in 2009 and one that covered a portion of the Hwy and East B, East C and 17th. Weis commented that it had to be done right away as they were coming in to do East Valley Road. He stated that the second phase of the project consisted of West 17 and West E, Area C. He said now they have finished 2016 agreement with DOWL which consisted of West C to 19th to 21st. Weis stated that the boar going under the railroad tracks was the lower part of B1. Weis said they would like to finish up the rest of B1 which would be all the way to 25th. He said that this agreement with DOWL would be to take original drawings and go back through them and get everything up to speed and resubmit to DEQ so that the project can go out to bid. Weis commented that CDBG funding is available to complete 21st to 23rd. He also stated that if they have additional budget money, continue North from 23rd to 25th or as far as our money would allow. Councilman Kinney pointed out spelling errors in section 3.2 of the contract which will be corrected before signing. Councilwoman Hill moved and Councilman Kinney seconded to approve the Agreement for Professional Services with DOWL Engineering as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
