OHKOH
ON THE WATER
MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Co Council
FROM: James Rabe, Director of Public Works
DATE: March 17, 2016
RE: Approve Providing Temporary Water Service for Town of Oshkosh Parcels
from City of Oshkosh Water Distribution System (Staff Requests to Waive the Rules)
BACKGROUND
Contract 16-03, which was awarded at the February 23, 2016 Common Council meeting, replaces the
existing Fountain Avenue wastewater pump station with a new pump station, which will be known as the
"Snell West Sanitary Pump Station". The proposed pump station is being constructed to enable effective
management of sanitary needs for this area and provide additional capacity to facilitate new development
in the northern Jackson Street area. The construction requires significant groundwater dewatering during
the construction.
ANALYSIS
Based upon information obtained from AECOM Technical Services, Inc. through soil borings and monitoring
wells, the dewatering wells will be placed in Platteville Dolomite and St. Peter Sandstone bedrock
formations. The St. Peter Sandstone is often highly mineralized and the water pumped from this formation
can have elevated concentrations of arsenic, iron, manganese, and nickel. Groundwater dewatering from
the construction activities may cause heavy metals to release into the groundwater and potentially cause
elevated levels of these metals.
FISCAL IMPACT
In order ensure the Town of Oshkosh parcels, located at 3696 Stearns Road and 1985 West Snell Road,
have safe drinking water throughout the construction, the City of Oshkosh is proposing to temporarily
connect these parcels to the City of Oshkosh's water supply. The cost for the water and all services required
to provide the water is included in the budget for this construction project and was included in the Sanitary
Sewer Section of the 2016 Capital Improvement Program.
Upon completion of the project, the City will continue to test the parcels' wells. When the wells produce
safe drinking water, the parcels will be removed from the City's water system and reconnected to their wells.
If the wells do not produce safer drinking water, the City will drill new wells to serve the properties, and
disconnect the properties from the City's water system.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approval of providing temporary water service for these Town of Oshkosh parcels from the
City of Oshkosh Water Distribution System. Due to the 5'h Tuesday in the month of March, and the
additional delay that would be caused to the Contractor, I also agree with the request to waive the rules
and approve on the first reading.
Approved,
���
