TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Kurt Muth, PE, Engineering Coordinator
DATE: August 12, 2024
SUBJECT:
A Resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign and execute the License for Underground Pipelines, Cables, and Conduits with Wisconsin Central Ltd. (WCL) as part of the Keating Drive Water Main Improvements (R24-250)
PURPOSE:
The signed License for Underground Pipelines, Cables, and Conduits is necessary in obtaining the WCL permit for the Keating Drive Water Main Improvement project.
BACKGROUND:
Water main installation has been deemed necessary on Keating Drive between Normantown Road and Middlebury Drive to increase system capacity. The City's engineering consultant modeled the water distribution system in anticipation of the Lincoln Prairie development in the southeast area end of the system and identified two necessary water main extensions to serve potential commercial development at that location. This is the first of those two locations. As part of the development agreement, the Pulte Group will be reimbursing the city for the cost of this project including all City of Aurora engineering division efforts to design, permit and manage the construction of this project. The proposed route of the 16" ductile iron water main crosses WCL Railroad. Keating Drive Water Main Improvement (R24-250) has been awarded to Performance Construction & Engineering, LLC. Construction is waiting to begin until the WCL permit has been received. The one time fee of $5,400.00 will also be reimbursed by the Pulte Group. This project fee is budgeted for in 2024 within account 510-4058-511-73-01 (IC062) which has a 2024 budget amount of $750,000.
DISCUSSION:
The permit submittal and the engineering plans are attached as Exhibits B and C.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Authorization of this resolution will allow the City to obtain the necessary WCL permit for construction of the 16" ductile iron water main
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed resolution be authorized.
