Emergency Purchase of Dredging Services for Lake at Sugar Mill Watershed:
On May 5, 2013, the Engineering Department requested emergency services to
dredge the lake for Sugar Mill Watershed (lake located behind Sugar Mill
Apartments). Dredging the lake to remove unwanted silt must be performed in
a timely manner to prevent potential flood water damages, and erosion problems
to adjacent properties.
Some dredging of this same lake, along with the Charter Oaks Watershed, was
performed after the flood event on Teak Drive. Siltation has continued to move
downstream and it is once again impacting the outlet control structure.
The vendor, All Things Water (Elkhart, Indiana), has the unique equipment and
the approved method for removing the lake silt. This process was used during
the previous dredging and deemed acceptable by the Engineering Department
because it has less impact on the surrounding properties. The prior contractor
has sold their equipment to All Things Water, and the same operators worked on
the City?s last project. There are no contractors in Columbus that have the
unique equipment and procedure for silt removal in the manner desired. The
vendor has submitted a quote of $49,500.00 to perform the work.
The City Manager approved the emergency on May 7, 2013.
Funds are available in the FY13 Budget: Special Projects - Capital Projects
Funds ? Stormwater Fund Supported Capital Projects ? Drainage ? Sugar Mill
Watershed; 0508-660-2000-CPSF-7622-21100-20130.
