6. MOVED by Touchett, seconded by Ryan, to recommend approval of professional services agreement
with JT Engineering for construction engineering/inspection services at the Woods at Cathedral Point

7. DISCUSSION regarding refuse and recycling scope of services to be included in contract renewal.
Jacobson outlined that the City currently has weekly bulk waste pick-up included in standard service,
and bi-weekly recycling. Kemp said he supports keeping bulk waste included in standard service, and
not “going backwards”. Touchett commented that there may be a lot of people in the city who don’t
use the bulk waste pick-up at all. Touchett also said that he doesn’t support a weekly (as opposed to
bi-weekly) recycling pick-up. Jacobson stated that most surrounding communities have a fee-based
bulk waste pick-up. Touchett wondered at the added cost of having weekly bulk waste pick-up
included in standard service, and wondered whether fee-based might be a better option to keep
property taxes lower.
8. DISCUSSION regarding Project ID 2018-108 Eastside Interceptor Gravity Sanitary Sewer Replacement.
Jacobson stated that restoration is commencing, with seed placed in the upcoming weeks between
Bruce St and Cty Hwy M, and then through the horseshoes south of Melody Cr. Pipeline installation is

the Lincoln St Bridge after receiving some new in-field data.

Meeting Date: May 10, 2021
PW/S&W Committee Memo
Public Works/Sewer & Water Committee
Listed below is an explanation of the items on the Public Works/Sewer & Water Committee
agenda.
Item (4) Ordinance No. 21-981 Relating to Water Utility Water Rates.
City attorney and City staff have prepared the ordinance to update the language based upon
the last tariff that was approved by the Public Service Commission. Ultimately, the water tariff
provides the governing language for the water rates and rules. The past ordinances copied the
tariff so the same language was in two places. This ordinance references the water tariff
instead of copying it. This ensures there are no inconsistencies in the language. This is common
practice as other communities have modified their ordinances in the same manner.
There are no changes to water rates due to this ordinance.
The current utility rates are located on the city website
at https://www.ci.verona.wi.us/752/Current-Utility-Rates
Item (5) Change order no. 3 for Project ID 2018-108 Eastside Interceptor Replacement.
Change order no. 3 for the eastside interceptor project is for addition work required as part of
Project B which is Dane County facilitated and financed project components.
This change order has no financial impact to the City or MMSD.
The change order is to add additional bid items to Dane County work zone:
• Temporary seeding and temporary mulching
The contract notes are as follows:
• Contract award value = $7,761,804.60
• Previous change orders = $6,305.00 (add)
• Change order No. 3 = $3,808.00 (add)
• Contract value after incorporating this change order = $7,771,917.60
Staff recommends approval of change order no. 3.
Item (6) Professional services agreement with JT Engineering for construction engineering /
inspection services at the Woods at Cathedral Point Phase 2 project.
Page 1 / 2
Meeting Date: May 10, 2021
PW/S&W Committee Memo
This agreement is for construction engineering / inspection services at “Woods at Cathedral
Point” for the phase 2 public improvements. JT Engineering is also performing the construction
engineering / inspection services for the phase 1 work.
Public Works staff is recommending that the contract with JT Engineering be approved.
This is a pass-through cost to the developer.
The contract shall not exceed $64,852.50. This agreement shall be contingent upon legal
counsel review of the contract language and approval of the Developer Agreement for Phase 2.
Item (7) Refuse and recycling scope of services to be included in the contract renewal.
City staff is drafting the contact and scope for renewing the contracted refuse and recycling
collection. Verona currently has a unique contract with expanded services available for
residences as compared to other communities of similar size. Staff will provide an overview of
the services and appreciates any feedback from the committee.
Below are timelines staff is targeting for certain tasks of the contract renewal, please note the
current contract expires on 12/31/2021.
6/4/2021 - Finalize contract and scope
7/9/2021 – Quotes back from contractors

Hey Theresa,
Hartland was on site yesterday (3/9) and completed the temp seeding and mulching. Attached are my measurements
and the costs. The quantity I measured matched pretty close to Hartlands. Wanted to run this past you to see if you
had any questions or had any issues. If all good, I will go ahead and put this into a change order.
Thanks,

Hi Theresa,
See below for Minger’s pricing to complete temp stabilization along the haul routes. Also attached is the marked up

completed next week. Let me know what you think and have a good weekend!

Hey Aaron,
Following up on our phone call pricing as requested is as follows for Temporary Restoration:
1. Mulching - $0.58/ SY Installed Estimated Total = $4,645.22
2. Temp Seeding - $0.10/SY Installed
3. Temp Seeding and Mulching - $0.68/SY Installed =$5,446.12
Like we discussed we don’t feel that option #2 with just installing Seed qualifies as stabilization. Please note none of
these options include power raking the soil which would be done only for final seeding.
Thanks,

Hey Aaron – See attached for a marked up area of Temp seeding. It looks like the average width is around 20-ft ish,
some spots may be wider some may be smaller. In general, it is mainly where the equipment tracked back and
forth. Just to clarify the prices – price for just seed, just mulch, and prices for doing both, if you’re able. Thanks, Aaron

Tom/Aaron/Jason – See below for a request from Dane County to temp seed and mulch the haul route area that Homer
used during clearing, grubbing, and invasive species removal. This is the area from the sewer project limits essentially to
the gardens. It be to just temp stabilize these areas that were disturbed until the restoration work begins. If you are
able, can you provide a price for each item. Let me know if you have any questions, or need any more information.

Hi Aaron,
Thanks for the update. Please ask Minger for price for mulching and for temp seeding. It appears that the specs Verona
has for Mulching (1627.02) and Temp Seeding (1630.0190.S) would be appropriate for this work. Once we know cost we
can decide if we want to do one or both.
Also, when we were out on Tuesday, it looked like the access at the community gardens had been used recently (snow
plowed, tracks) – was this for something with the sewer project?
Thanks,

Hi Theresa,
Thanks for letting me know about these erosion issues.
Regarding Item 1 – Minger was planning to address this tomorrow. They will be putting in a tracking pad off of Arbor
Vitae and while they are in the area they are planning to stabilize that crossing’s slopes as well as place some perimeter
protection.
Regarding Item 2 – I did discuss this with Minger this afternoon. They can provide a price for mulching and/or temp
seeding to be added per change order to Contract B. They did mention that the bid price for mulching (item 103) also
was not for temp stabilization, so not sure if they would be willing to place at this bid price. My thoughts is that temp
seeding would be the easiest and cheapest route to temp stabilize. It doesn’t sound like they are planning to do any of
the Dane County work for a few months yet (focusing on the sewer portion for now). Let me know if you want me to ask
for a price for temp seed, temp mulch, or both to be added to Contract B, or if you have any other thoughts.
Thanks,
Aaron

Hi Theran and Aaron,
Sara and I walked some of the project site yesterday and noticed a couple erosion control issues:
1) The temporary crossing put in near the ice age trail bridge needs erosion controls along the perimeter – see
attached photo. As it is, soil is free to wash into the side channel.
2) Also, any of the haul routes that were disturbed last fall that won’t be used right away this spring should be
temporarily stabilized (straw, mulch, etc.). Let us know what you need from us for getting this done as we did
not include the quantities for the temporary stabilization in our original quantities.
With the continued melting and chance of rain next week, now is the time to get things taken care of. Please let me
know if you’d like to discuss.
Thanks,
