October 21, 1993 File: 230-195-20 The Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 RE: Deerfield 3rd Addition Storm Sewer Improvements Dear Council Members: On Wednesday, October 20, 1993, we opened bids for the proposed storm sewer improvement in the Deerfield 3rd Addition. As you recall, this is the project intended to remedy the flooding experienced by the Poppen property. The apparent low bidder was in the range of $122,000 vs. our estimated cost of approximately $150,000. However, at this time, the entire bid tabulation has not been completed. That will be completed and ready for presentation at Monday night's City Council meeting. Throughout this project we have been working closely with Mr. Poppen and Mr. Hartman, who is the landowner in the Royal Oaks Addition from whom we need an easement to construct these improvements. Mr. Hartman has requested that several items be included in the project prior to giving the necessary easement. These would include extending the pipe through his property, replanting of any trees removed, resodding of his yard and repair of his driveway in accordance with his directions. Mr. Hartman has also requested that the project construction not take place until the spring of 1994, such that his yard and driveway not be disrupted through the winter months. We are currently working with Mr. Hartman and the Contractor to determine the cost of the requested additional improvements for Mr. Hartman and to determine of some kind of satisfactory agreement can be reached which would allow the project to start this fall and complete the work on the Hartman property as quickly as possible. We are hopeful to have some type of resolution to these issues prior to Monday night's meeting. We will be prepared at that time to discuss the various options available and perhaps make a recommendation to the City Council as to the direction to take on this project.
