COUNCiL ACT10N TAKEN: ❑ APPROVED ❑ DENIED ❑ OTHER Cottage J Grove � Pride and P�OSPerity Meet To: From: Date: Subject: Ryan Schroeder, City Administrator Les W. Burshten, Public Works Director March 29, 2013 Response to Resident Comment at the February 20, 2013 Council Meeting At the February 20, 2013 City Council Meeting, Paul Ravn had some questions regarding services that the City outsourced in 2012. You responded in a memo dated February 25, 2013 (attached) to some of the remarks. I was asked to give a more specific update to the questions asked, as follows: 1. Why do we outsource televising of sanitary sewer lines?� We outsource televising of sanitary sewer lines for a variety of reasons. Reasons for televising lines may include root detection, condition of the lines and potential for line failures, etc. Quotes are taken each year and the work is quoted out on a cost per lineal foot. This is a budgeted item. The City does not own the required equipment to perform this type of work. To do so, would be an expenditure of approximately $250, 000.00. 2. Why do we outsource manhole repair on 80 Street? We did outsource some manhole adjustments on 80 Street last year between Jamaica Avenue and East Point Douglas Road. I believe it was between 12 and 14 structures. P/ease keep in mind we do contract out some form of adjustments each year which is also included in the budget as a maintenance item. The number each year may vary from 10 adjustments to possibly as many as 50. We did receive two quotes for the work on 80�`' Street: T.A. Schifsky and Sons quoted $12,450.00 and Interstate Removal Company quoted $12,480.00. I did run a cost comparison as to what our cost would have been for the project and it came out a "wash" had we done the work in-house. During the time the structures were adjusted on 80� Street, our Street Department/Storm Water crews were either paving or working on storm water projects. In 2012, the Storm Water crew completed: • Ten manhole adjustments • Approximately 40 storm water structures were completely reconstructed This type of reconstruction takes approximately 5-8 hours per structure with a three man crew that includes two full-time employees and one part-time employee. • Spot repair and tuck pointing were completed on 80 structures • 65 ponds/skimmers were debrushed and repaired • Two sanitary structures were' rebuilt • 211 MS4 structures, ponds or storm water-related control devices were inspected. 3. Why, during a water main break on Inwood Avenue, were there five (5) Public Works employees watching the contractor open the street? We did have a water main break on September 20, 2092 near 8565 Inwood Avenue. There may have been a point in time when a variety of the required tasks were at, or near completion, prior to work continuing. When a water main break is confirmed, many things must happen prior to fixing the break including, but not limited to the following: Water Main Break Repair Procedure Summary.� • Locating the general vicinity of the break Just because water is coming up from one spot doesn't necessarily mean the break is directly below, or near that spot. • Apparently when locates were called in (Gopher State One Call) they were not initially classified as an emergency as we requested which may have been a reason for a delay. Usually, once Gopher State One Call is notified, crews arrive within the hour for an emergency call-in. We had to re-call the locates at which time they were shown as an emergency as initially requested. Once this was corrected, they did respond very quickly. Keep in mind, however, that no below- ground work could proceed until that very important task was completed • Locating and operating gate valves • Distribute cards and/or notify residents their water will be shut off temporarily • We must make sure we have trucks ready to haul material away from the site and provide fill material to bring back for repair and restoration. • Roads may have to be barricaded or blocked off Once those tasks have been completed, digging and repair work can begin. There is no set time for any one task and no water main break is the same as another. We attempt to complete the work as quickly and as safely as possibly. According to our records, this water main break repair was completed in approximately 4 to 4.5 hours, not including the Street Department patching the street permanently. 4. Why do we have leads and foreman who are not working? 1 have included job descriptions for each of our foreman and lead positions for review. 1 must admit 1 don't quite understand the nature of this question but 1'll do my best. Included in the Public Works and Parks Department we have a total of four foremen and four lead employees: Streets Foreman, Streets Lead, Utility Foreman, Utility Lead, Parks Foreman, Parks Lead and Fleet Foreman and Fleet Lead. Combined years of experience of these 8 positions offer a total of approximately 151 years of experience or approximately 314, 080 total hours of experience. I'm a little disappointed that anyone would think, imply or make reference to a lack of integrity, commitment and dedication that these men have displayed for many years. In most cases, these employees have dedicated their entire working careers to this department, the City and residents of Cottage Grove. These men and their ability to provide leadership in their respective divisions have many areas of responsibility as are outlined in the attached job descriptions. In each and every case, these employees go well above and beyond what has been laid out for them. Each and every day they do whatever it takes to get the job done. P/ease keep in mind that their jobs do not end at 3:30, 4:00 or 4:30 or whether they are on call or are asked to come back after hours or on weekends, on holidays or during family events, etc. They have done what is right for the City and its residents with a good attitude for as long as 1 can remember with no complaints. Each one has at times made sacrifices to their personal lives for this City and its residents. Across the board, they have dedicated their working careers to this department and City. l, we, and this City should consider ourselves very fortunate to have these men here. They are tremendous assets and work hard each and every day. In addition to some of the things I've noted, in most cases, 1'm certain that any one of these employees during their careers could have decided to work elsewhere, possibly in the private sector for more money, fewer hours, /ess responsibility, less stress, etc, but decided to provide this department and the City their talents and expertise. Thank goodness. 5. Comment that we don't have crack seal equipment because to use it is labor intensive (implication that we don't want to work that hard) It is true that we do not have crack seal equipment at this time. It is also a fact that we did have some crack sea/ equipment about 17-18 years ago. It was determined at that time to be impractical for the department to continue attempting to compete with the private sector in this area. As was implied in the statement that the work was too hard for us to continue, we do plenty of hard work day in and day out in this department. Some of the reasons we do not do this work in-house are as follows: To be proficient in crack sealing requires approximately seven employees to keep things rolling and get enough material melted and applied into the cracks. These tasks include routing and traffic control. We do not have enough employees to dedicate to this task. In addition to personal commitment, timing is usually a problem when crack sealing is required: normally in spring. Prior to sea/ coating, our Street Department is usually up to their ears in street maintenance activity: patching, asphalt work and road shouldering utilizing most of the employees available. In addition to our work load, we have received a very good cost per pound on lineal foot cost from the private sector. The City purchases the appropriate material and bids out the labor for installation. I have attached this year's quoted crack sea/ prices .It would be very difficult, if not impossible, to compete with these prices. 6. Why do we hire Tru Green to spray weeds? (See Memo from Parks and Recreation Director, Zac Dockter) Cottage J Grove � Pride and PrOSPerity Meet To: From: Date: Subject: Ryan Schroeder, City Administrator Zac Dockter, Parks and Recreation Director March 15, 2013 Response to Resident Comment at March 6 Council Meeting At the February 20 City Council Meeting, a resident made a statement regarding the City's use of TruGreen Lawn Service for the spraying of the new City Hall/Public Safety site. The Parks and Recreation department initially sprayed the Ravine Parkway boulevards as part of its normal turf maintenance program beginning in 2012. However, it became apparent that a particular species of weed was not being killed as a result of the Surge chemical used by the City. After consulting with a TruGreen specialist, it was determined the weed to be "Foxtail". Foxtail is a grassy weed that usually needs separate treatment outside of normal weed control agents. TruGreen explained that they had a special chemical that could be used to target this weed while not harming the turF. Further, the sod that was laid in 2011 was struggling to establish root base so it was also deemed necessary to increase the fertilization schedule to improve turf health. This seemed like an opportunity to perForm both tasks in one application without having to mobilize City forces or equipment. For a cost of approximately $600, the entire site was sprayed and fertilized by TruGreen two times during 2012. By contracting with TruGreen, the City was able to pay a reasonable price, get the desired results, not invest into another batch of chemicals and establish the turF in this highly visible location. After each application, the site was reviewed; the foxtail died and the grass was healthier. In previous conversation with this resident, he seemed to be under the impression that the targeted weed was "Yellow Nutsedge" and stated that we were "throwing our money away". After reviewing the weed in question and thorough conversation with TruGreen it was very apparent that this was not the case. It is also important to note that the foxtail died after each application thus verifying the results of the chosen application. This was explained to the resident in a previous phone conversation. Although there may have been an Yellow Nutsedge on the site in a particular area, the foxtail was spread throughout the area thus requiring the broadcast spraying of the entire site. The Ravine Parkway and City Hall/Public Safety sites will be entered into the City's normal in-house spraying and fertilizing program again in 2013. Should recurrence of the previously mentioned issues require additional or modified applications, it would be staff's intent to once again hire TruGreen to apply their chemical (assuming it achieves desired results). They are able to purchase in bulk because of their specialized service and as such offer very competitive pricing. It would not seem beneficial for the City to invest into a new batch of chemical at this time because of this one particular situation. � �, ' V��}rLLI , _ . ..
