Memorandum
DATE: August 16, 2016
TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Update on the Bassett Creek Stream Bank Stabilization Project
Background
Last December the City entered into an agreement with the Bassett Creek Watershed Commission for
the use of the channel maintenance funds to address some significant erosion along Bassett Creek North
Branch. Earlier this year the Council authorized a contract with Barr Engineering Company to complete a
survey of the areas with erosion and develop engineering plans to address the issues.
The plans have been put out to contractors to provide quotes. An on-site meeting was held with the
contractors in early August so they could tour the project area. Four contractors were contacted and
three provided the following quotes:
MN Native Landscapes: $26,550
Blackstone: $37,700
Jedlicki: $58,175
Wetland Habitat Restoration: Declined to bid.
The Engineer’s estimate for this work was $22,425 with a total estimated project cost of $31,325. The
watershed has agreed to pay for $31,675 of the project cost which is now $35,450 based on the quotes.
This leaves $3,774 that needs to be covered by the City’s storm water utility fund. The original plan was
for the full cost of the project to be covered by the Watershed’s Channel Maintenance Funds that had
been allocated for Crystal. Because the erosion in the area is significant, it is recommended that the City
cover the balance of the cost so that the project can move forward.
One additional item that needs to be finalized is the access to the job site. At alternative method was
identified during the on-site meeting and so the impacted property owners will be contacted in the
coming weeks.
Requested Action
At the September 6th Council meeting the Council will be asked to approve the contract with MN Native
Landscapes and amend the storm water utility budget to cover the balance of the project cost.
