SUMMARY:
Attached is a Resolution approving an agreement between the City and Drexel, Barrell & Co.,
for engineering and surveying services for repair of the Fountain Creek Levee System near the
intersection of Fir Street and South Iola Avenue.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
:
None.
BACKGROUND
:
The Fountain Creek levee was completed in July 1989 by the United States Army Corp of
Engineers (USACE) for flood control on the Fountain Creek. The City entered into an
agreement with the USACE which the City is responsible to maintain and repair the facilities.
At some time in the past 3 years the Fountain Creek levee located near Fir Street and Iola
Avenue was damaged by an unauthorized excavation on the land side. This damage is
significant enough that it must be repaired to the criteria of the USACE and then have the levee
recertified.
Following procurement procedures, bids were solicited with an ‘Informal Invitation for Bid’ from
three professional engineering firms that was obtained from the preapproved ‘Engineering
Consultant Services Contract’ for Stormwater. Drexel, Barrell & Company is the apparent low
bid at $26,500. Attached is the Bid Summary of the three bids.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
:
Funds for the engineering and surveying services for the repair of the Fountain Creek Levee
System are available from the Stormwater Enterprise Fund and were appropriated in the 2016
budget.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
:
Not applicable
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS
:
None
ALTERNATIVES
:
Alternative - No Action.
Under this alternative, the City would make no repairs to the damaged levee as required by the
agreement with the United States Army Corp of Engineers and place the levee system in
jeopardy of being decertified. Without a certified levee all of the properties protected by the
levee system would then be within the flood plain as per FEMA and therefore would have flood
insurance requirements. Flood insurance requirements would be a great cost to the property
owners.
RECOMMENDATION
:
Approval of the Resolution.
