Background
There is a City owned ditch which runs along the rear property lines from Baltimore Street to Goodhue Street midway between 93rd Lane and 94th Lane. This ditch requires cleaning and regrading to restore proper flow and help prevent storm water runoff from backing up into the roadside ditches in this area.
The Engineering Department requested quotes from four contractors for ditch cleaning services to be performed in the 2015 construction season.

Kevin Casey, LLC |
$18,916.50 |
RLP Services, LLC |
$22,774.05 |
Julian M Johnson Construction |
$25,118.75 |
Kevin Casey, LLC submitted the lowest responsible quote. The Engineering Department has worked previously with Kevin Casey, LLC and recommends that the City Council accept their quote to perform the work.
City Council is also asked to approve a 10% contingency ($1,892.00) to bring the total project budget to $20,808.50.
The funding source for this project is the Stormwater Utility Fund and there are sufficient funds to cover these costs.
