Action Request
Approve, by motion, the contract for Youth Athletic Complex (YAC) Septic System Improvements to Septic
Check for $179,990.00.
Background/Discussion
This project includes construction of a new septic system, trench drain field, service connections, and restoration
of impacted pavement/turf areas. The septic system will support the renovated concessions building and new
restroom building approved by City Council April 5, 2021. Installation of the septic system will be concurrent with
renovation of the concession building and construction of the new restroom building.
The bid opening for YAC septic system improvements included three bids. The low bid was Septic Check at
$179,990. This is higher than the updated engineers estimate of $170,000 which has been consistent with all of our
construction bidding due to COVID inflationary costs. The Active Elk River budget for YAC is $2 million. After
the installation of the athletic field lighting and playground the balance was $708,194.
Financial Impact
Sewer infrastructure improvements are an eligible expense for ARPA funds. The Park Dedication Fund also has
sufficient funds available for consideration. The field lighting and playground, completed in 2020, were both under
the proposed budget. The 2021 expenses, including the septic and concession are above estimates.
