Consider approving Resolution No. 2016-069 awarding the bid for the Cooks Creek Gabion Repair at Fyke Road to Ark Contracting Services, LLC; and take appropriate action.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 3299 in September 2014 establishing a Municipal Drainage Utility System, which establishes drainage fees that help support the operations of the City's drainage utility system. Grant funding was obtained through the Federal Emergency Management Agency resulting in a check in the amount of $31,469.92 to make the repairs to the failed gabion structures. These structures were damaged by flooding which occurred in May of 2015.
As the bids were higher than anticipated, new information will be submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency to request additional funding based on the actual bids. In order to repair the damage done by previous storms, the Municipal Drainage Utility System will fund the balance to proceed with this project. Any additional grant funding received will be credited back to the Municipal Drainage Utility System.
The 2015-2016 Municipal Drainage Utility System operating budget and grant funds from Federal Emergency Management Agency are available for Cooks Creek Gabion Repairs at Fyke Road.
The scope of this project is to repair the failed gabion structure along the south side of Fyke Road at Cooks Creek.
