SUBJECT: South Fork of the Catfish Creek Sanitary Interceptor Sewer
Stream Bank Emergency Repair Project
Accept Public Improvement Contract
DATE: May 14, 2019
INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution provides for the acceptance of the public improvement
construction contract for the emergency stream bank repairs to a segment of the South
Fork of the Catfish Creek which was in close proximity to the existing South Fork of the
Catfish Creek sanitary interceptor sewer.
BACKGROUND
The City was working on a project to repair and stabilize a segment of the stream bank
along the South Fork of the Catfish Creek, located just upstream of the North Cascade
bridge crossing. The segment of stream bank is approximately 300 feet in length and
had experienced significant erosion and stream embankment loss over the past several
years. The City has an existing 18-inch sanitary interceptor sewer that runs along the
South Fork of the Catfish Creek. Stream bank erosion had gradually been encroaching
towards the alignment of the sanitary interceptor sewer.
In January 2019, the Engineering Department took drone aerial photos of the stream
bank erosion location to assist with the development of repair and stabilization plans. In
reviewing the aerial photos, the erosion and stream embankment loss had increased
significantly and was now extremely close to the existing sanitary interceptor sewer.
Due to the recent observed stream bank encroachment on the existing South Fork of
the Catfish Creek near the City's sanitary interceptor sewer, emergency repairs were
required to repair and stabilize this segment of the stream bank to prevent impacts to
the sanitary interceptor sewer.
On February 4, 2019, based on City staff recommendation, the City Council authorized
per Resolution 40-19 that an emergency repair project be initiated pursuant to State of
lowa Code, 384.103 Emergency Repairs, so that the necessary stream bank repair and
stabilization could be made to protect the existing sanitary interceptor sewer.
DISCUSSION
The Catfish Creek Sanitary Interceptor Sewer - Stream Bank Emergency Repair Project
was completed by Legacy Corporation of East Moline, IL, in the final contract amount of
$80,774.17, which is a 19.6% decrease from the original contract amount of
$100,485.00.
Wher th� project was initially bid, it vvas anticipated that there would be sufFicient
suitable fill material onsite that could be used to restore and stabilization the stream
bank. However, upon starting the repair project, fhe onsite soiis were not suitable and
thus the City was required to purchase embankment fill material from the nearby River
City quarry at a cost of $9,255.24. The material purchase was a direct cost to the City
and was not included in the contractor's contract.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council accept the public improvements and authorize the
payment of the contract amount of $80,774.17 to Legacy Corporation of East Moline, IL,
for the Catfish Creek Sanitary Interceptor Sewer - Stream Bank Emergency Repair
Project.
