RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Adopt a Resolution Accepting Bids and Awarding the
Contract for the Connemara Trail Trunk 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
at this time is appropriate. This project will install only the trunk line, future street and utility construction
will be performed as development progresses.
DISCUSSION
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 is being 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 of Emerald Isle 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, 40 foot deep main that is best constructed at this time due to the
significant amount of excavation required. The contractor will only be required to stabilize the surface
since future street and utility work will be completed as development progresses. The funding for this
work will come from the Storm Sewer Core Fund (Fund 607) which currently has a cash on hand balance
of $2,561,919.

The estimated total project cost for this work is detailed in the table below based on the low bid.
Bids were opened on August 31, 2021 and there were 13 bids received and Ryan Contracting Co. was the
lowest responsive bid. The following table shows the bidders and bids along with the Engineer’s Estimate.
The 3 lowest bids were within $51,488 or 8.7% of each other. The bids were greatly influenced by pipe
installation costs and Ryan Contracting’s bid was the second lowest for that line item.
Currently, access to the area is limited due to the construction of Connemara Trail and the Emerald Isle
development. However, the Connemara Trail project is progressing well and should be nearing the eastern
limit of construction within the next few weeks. At that point, construction can easily commence and
continue to move eastward.
