Aqenda Item #5~ Permission to advertise/Sewer Main Service at City
Hall
Director of Public Works, Mike Barnes, stated that presently the
City's septic system is not operating as originally designed. The
system was installed in 1983 and is in need of repair and
maintenance. It is believed by staff that this would cost from
$2,000 to $5,000. If the City were to tie to a gravity system,
the septic field area could be utilized for additional parking area
for city hall: whereas, if the septic system is kept active,
nothing can be built on it.
John Levitt Consulting Engineers, in conjunction with SouthView
Phases I & II, has prepared preliminary drawings for a sewer line
from Phase I to the south property line of City Hall. Whenever the
line is constructed, it would be advantageous to the City to use
John Levitt Consulting Engineers because of the work they have
already done and the size of the project.

Aqenda Item #5, Continued
Initially it would cost the City $35,000 for the main sewer line
and $5,000 to install the service for a total of $40,000.
Approximately $17,000 will be reimbursed to the City by the
developer of Phase II, SouthView Estates.
Barnes stated that staff recommends that the Council direct the
staff to enter into an engineering contract with John Levitt
Consulting Engineers for $5,900 for the design of the City Hall's
gravity sewer line and approve advertising for bids for the
construction.
Motion was made to approve advertising for bids and entering into a
contract with Levitt Consulting Engineers for design of City Hall
gravity sewer line.
