MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 10, 1990
TO: Alan Ratliff,
FROM: Per Birdsall,
RE: Oak Trail Drainage
City Manager
Street Superintendent~
/ City Council Meeting
Steve Goram requested me to respond to this tickler in his and
Shohre's absence. I spoke with Frank and reviewed the existing
documents about this project. From the information available to
me, the total project will cost approximately $72,500. ~is is
based on the Iow bid which was received and rejected by the City
Council on Staff's recommendation. Included in the $72,500 (see
attached breakdown) would be the study and findings of the probable
cause of such a drainage problem, construction inspection and
administration, and preparation of a drainage easement which was
one of the items of cause for the recommendation for rejection by
staff.
Frank indicated that he would include this in the midyear budgeC
process, but that the actual funding would have to come from the
limited remaining surplus of CIP funds from which already two
identified projects are vying (Loch Lane, Wrangler).
This drainage problem is not on the Consultant's Priority list nor
was it identified by the Drainage Subcommittee because it was
already in progress.
In conclusion, $40,000 was earmarked for the project but an
additional $32,500 by current estimates will be needed to get the
physical project underway. Upon reasonable expectations of funding
being made available and direction, Public Works can proceed to
contact the resident(s) to endeavor to obtain the easement(s)
required and have DeShazo, Starek & Tang prepare the appropriate
documents(s) for signature by the owner(s) of the affected area(s).

would customarily be estimated as 10% of the entire project, which would

This project will have to be re-bid due to the fact that action has
previously been taken by Council.
