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.

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 7/23/2021 – Staff review quotes from contractors and meeting with Administration 7/26/2021 – Meeting with PW S&W Committee as necessary 9/24/2021 – Finalize contract with Contractor 10/11/2021 – PW S&W Committee to recommend council to approve contract Item (8) Project ID 2018-108 Eastside Interceptor Gravity Sanitary Sewer Replacement.

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.

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 Aaron McFarlin, P.E.

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. Thanks, Aaron Aaron McFarlin, P.E.

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, Theresa M.

Contact Helpdesk at 266- 4440 if unsure 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 Aaron McFarlin, P.E.

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, Theresa M. Nelson, P.E.
