9. City Engineer Brian Simmons presenting discussion and requesting action to
approve study and concept development for work to replace the retaining wall
at Tuxedo Blvd and Sulgrove Rd PW -20-02
Simmons noted Mound owns many retaining walls and now that street projects are
done, we will begin to improve retaining walls as a separate project. The CIP has one
per year so that we keep up on caring for this essential infrastructure. Simmons noted
the city has addressed a few emergency retaining wall repairs and Staff continues to
monitor in order to prioritize the replacement plan.
Simmons showed pictures of where the tie backs start to rot and the wood begins to pull
away from the hill that can lead to collapse.
Mound City Council Minutes — April 28, 2020
Simmons said they looked at standard modular block wall which is cheaper but requires
tie backs and geo grid into the property ($95.8K) and big block wall which is more
expensive but has longer life and less rearward facing impact ($108K). Salazar said big
block also does not shift.
Simmons said we can bid both or decide on just big block since the costs are so close.
Simmons noted no easement or property costs are included in these estimates but
noted they work with homeowners on those issues.
Velsor asked if the wall will need to travel along Tuxedo as well and Simmons said yes,
the wall is `L' shaped. Simmons said they start with the original footprint, but they will
evaluate how many tiers are necessary. Simmons said the tradeoff is a higher wall
requires less pilings. Velsor asked if many trees will need to be removed and Simmons
said yes but that is what they work with the homeowners on.
Bergquist asked how much longer the big block lasts. Simmons said 25 — 30 years is
typical and should be 10 — 15 years longer in longevity because they do not shift and
are less susceptible to soil conditions.
Bergquist says he likes the big block because of the longevity for just a little bit more
money.
Salazar agreed and he guessed the timber wall was built in the 70's.
A. Approve Resolution receiving report and authorizing preparation of plans and
specifications for the 2020 Retaining Wall Project (PW -20-02)
MOTION by Larson, seconded by Bergquist, to adopt the following resolution. Roll call
vote In Favor: Larson, Velsor, Bergquist, Pugh, Salazar Opposed: None Abstain:
None. Motion carried.
