IS.O./.
CITY OF SHAKOPEE
MEMORANDUM CONSENT
TO: Mayor & City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Michael Hullander, Public Works Supervisor
SUBJECT: Sanitary Sewer Root Control
DATE: June 3, 2003
INTRODUCTION:
Public Works is requesting to treat approximately 25,000 feet of Sanitary Sewer with an
herbicidal foam to control tree root growth.
BACKGROUND:
Public Works has been televising approximately 30,000 feet of Sanitary Sewer pipe annually to
monitor the condition and detect problems within the sewer pipe.
Sewer televising has made us aware of several sections of sanitary sewer that tree root invasion
has caused or could potentially cause sewer back-ups. The western area of Shakopee,
(Notermans and Presidential Additions) has a large amount of tree root growth due to the soft
maples in the area.
In 2000,2001 and 2002 Public Works hired Duke's Sewer Root Control Specialists and they
have successfully controlled root growth using an herbicidal root foam. Dukes has not increased
its price per treated foot and Public Works is recommending to continue to use this service.
Public Works is requesting to expand the program to treat approximately 25,000 feet of sanitary
sewer. Staffhas received two quotes for this service and is requesting to hire Duke's Sewer Root
Control Specialists with the low quote of $37,250.00. See attached quotes.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Accept the low quote from Duke's Sewer Root Control Specialists to provide sanitary
sewer root control at a cost of $37,250.00, with payment to be expended from the
Sanitary Sewer Fund.
2. Deny the request.
3. Table for additional information.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Accept alternative # 1.
ACTION REOUESTED:
Authorize staff to contract with Duke's Sewer Root Control Specialists for the price of
$37,250.00 for sanitary sewer root control, with payment to be expended from the Sanitary
Sewer Fund.
