SUMMARY:
This Resolution approves an agreement between the City and Drexel, Barrell & Co., for
th
engineering services for the design of a Stormwater pump station at 29 Street and I-25.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
:
None.
BACKGROUND
:
The Stormwater Utility Enterprise is responsible for the maintenance of the Stormwater pump
th
station located under a railroad overpass, east of the I-25 and 29 Street intersection. This is a
major roadway with much use. In addition, the area is a low spot having the tendency to
.
accumulate large amounts of run-off from rain storms and snow melt at times several feet deep
The purpose of the pump station is to pump the run-off out of the roadway and into the storm
drain system. The current pump station is approximately 35 years old, and in the past few years
has failed numerous times during storms, causing dangerous flooding conditions to vehicles and
passengers. It has been repaired numerous times, and at this time it has been determined that
engineering services would be required to design a new pump station at this location.
Following procurement procedures, bids were solicited and Drexel, Barrell & Company is the
apparent low bid at $95,450. Attached is the Bid Summary.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
:
th
Funds for engineering services for the 29 Street Stormwater Pump Station Design are
available from the Stormwater Enterprise Fund and were appropriated in the 2016 budget.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
:
Not applicable
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS
:
None
ALTERNATIVES
:
Alternative 1 - No Action.
Under this alternative, the City would leave the current pump station in place with a high
possibility of future failure in storm situations. This could cause potential flooding with
hazardous drowning conditions to vehicles and passengers.
RECOMMENDATION
:
Approval of the Resolution.
