Storm Sewer, Project 2021-06.
BACKGROUND
With the extension of Connemara Trail (City Project 2018-09), along with the current Emerald Isle
development east of Akron Avenue, the extension of the trunk storm line along the Connemara corridor is
appropriate at this time.
Rosemount’s Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan anticipates extending a trunk storm sewer
line to the east in order to address the need for an outlet in the case of back to back 100-year storms. That
trunk has been extended as development occurred in the Prestwick Place development west of Akron
Avenue. With the extension of Connemara Trail, an additional segment will be constructed this summer
extending the trunk approximately 1,800 feet. Since the award of the Connemara Trail project, additional
development further east (Emerald Isle) is occurring and the extension of this trunk line to the eastern
property line will allow the developer to continue with additional phases. It should be noted that because
of the regional nature of this improvement the cost is paid by the City from the Storm Sewer Core Fund.
This trunk is a 54-inch diameter, 44 foot deep main that is best constructed at this time due to the
significant amount of excavation required. Upon completion, the contractor will only be required to
stabilize the surface since no paving will be required. The funding for this work will come from the Storm
Sewer Core Fund (Fund 607). The estimated total project cost for this work is detailed below.
Currently, access to the area is limited due to the construction of Connemara Trail and the Emerald Isle
development. By bidding now and anticipating a late summer/early fall start there is sufficient time to
