Trustee Yates reported that The Program Management Committee met on January 3, 2018 at 8:00 a.m. The meeting was attended by Trustees Yates, Mandel, Singer, Faul and Dunlap.
The minutes of the December 5, 2017 meeting were approved.
The agenda items to be introduced tonight were presented and discussed, including a detailed discussion
regarding the following items:
Ordinance No. 14857 – Lackland I/I Reduction – Staff provided details on the request for supplemental construction funds for this project. Staff explained additional permit requirements from St. Louis County
regarding asphalt pavement type. The County was requesting “superpave”, a more durable pavement type on certain roadways on the project. Other pavement types were also experienced during construction not
identified during the project design. These requirements were not part of the original bid and therefore caused an increase cost not provided for in the original appropriation. Staff discussed the process for which
this could be avoided on future projects.
Ordinance No. 14865 – Linden Storm Sewer – Staff requested authorization to proceed to condemnation efforts to acquire permanent easements and temporary construction licenses on five properties impacted by
this project. This project provides for the construction of approximately 1300 lineal feet of large diameter storm sewers to alleviate building and basement flooding to homes on East Linden and Terrace Drive in the
City of Richmond Heights. There are a total of twenty-five easements and temporary construction licenses required; all but five have been acquired. Staff discussed the various stages of contact with the remaining
five properties. Staff then answered questions from the Committee regarding stormwater impacts from the adjacent Highway 40/64 and coordination with other agencies such as Missouri Department of
Transportation.
Resolution No. 3395 - Stipend Payments for Design-Build projects – Staff provided details of the resolution and answered questions from the Committee on benefits to MSD and ratepayers in providing stipends to
proposers, and the typical amount of the stipends. There was a discussion on the cost benefits and cost comparison of Design Build procurement to traditional Design-Bid-Build procurement methods.
Other Business: Staff gave a brief presentation on radiological contamination on Coldwater Creek, as
previously requested by the Trustees. Staff provided a brief history and cause of the issues and explained the Federal Governments role in the clean-up efforts. Staff explained MSD’s specific role in monitoring the
area streams only for discharges regulated by the District’s Wastewater and Stormwater Permits issued by the State. This does not include the radiologic discharge. Staff provided the Committee additional reference
material available for the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP).
The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 a.m. The next Committee meeting is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday,
January 30, 2018 at 8:00 a.m.

further and would be in contact soon.
