HomeMy WebLinkAbout20100315 - VI-07 MEMO To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nick Egger – City Engineer Date: March 8, 2010 Re: Authorizing the Solicitation of Quotes – Highway 61 Spot Utility Work The Council is requested to authorize staff to solicit quotes for several spot utility replacement activities within and adjacent to Highway 61. This summer, MnDOT will be milling and overlaying Highway 61 th from 5 Street south to Cannon Street, and the City has already entered into an agreement with MnDOT for work on several utility related items to be performed by MnDOT’s contractor during that project. There are several more intensive utility replacements within and adjacent to the Highway that require the work of an underground or specialty contractor. None of the work would require excavation within the Highway by the City’s contractor, but there may be short term left turn lane closures required during off- peak times (9am-3pm). It is staff’s recommendation to contract this work separately so that it will be completed prior to the application of the new pavement on the Highway. A map showing the affected areas has been included for reference. The work would be contracted to be completed by early May, as MnDOT’s project will begin during the second week of May. Costs for the work would be funded by the City’s Water and Sewer Funds. COUNCIL ACTION RECOMMENDED Authorize staff to proceed with soliciting quotes for spot utility work along and adjacent to Highway 61.  5TH STREET 5TH STREET FIRE DEPARTMENT - Install New Sanitary Sewer MH - Install New Watermain Valve - Line Sanitary Sewer Main across Highway - Realign Water Service on West side 6TH STREET 6TH STREET Fill & Abandon Sanitary Sewer Lines to East and West of Centerline MH 7TH STREET 7TH STREET Fill & Abandon Sanitary Sewer Line to West of Centerline MH 8TH STREET 8TH STREET City of Hastings Manhole (MH) Areas of Utility Replacement Work in and adjacent to Highway 61 prior to MnDOT Mill & Overlay Project
