MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Paul Ostrander, Interim Public Works Director
DATE: September 20, 2024
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3439-2024 - Increasing Estimated Revenue and
Appropriations in the General Fund and Municipal Roadway Improvements
Capital Fund to provide supplemental funding for the 2024 Lilac Lane
Roadway Project.
The 2024 Lilac Lane Roadway Project was awarded to Peninsula Construction in June of 2024
and was substantially completed in September of 2024. The excavation of bury pits was
anticipated when the contract was awarded, however, upon further investigation at multiple bury
pit sites, we found a variety of trees, roots wads, silts and other organics extending 10 feet deep
and deeper in some areas. These organics have been rotting and sand from underneath the road
was migrating into the voids formed as these organics rotted and settled. After assessing what
was happening in these particular cases, we determined that to prevent the settlement from
occurring again we needed to provide a base for the edge of road and curb with a 1:1 slope from
the back of curb to the bottom of bury pit excavation. This resulted in excavation in some instances
to the edge of the right of way, well beyond what was anticipated.
The additional excavation resulted in costs exceeding available funds by $49,836.96. This
ordinance will appropriate the necessary funds to close out the project.
Your consideration is respectfully requested.
