Council approves $655,203 emergency contract to repair channel erosion at Lake Louisville
Summary
Council authorized an emergency construction contract with ARC Contracting Services LLC for $655,203 to repair two eroded outfalls and stabilize lakefront channels in the Waterford Point area; the project ties into HOA shoreline work and required Corps of Engineers approval.
The City Council approved an emergency construction services contract with ARC Contracting Services LLC in the amount of $655,203 to repair channel erosion at Lake Louisville where two city stormwater outfalls traverse Waterford Point HOA property.
Public works staff said the erosion affects the city's drainage easements and that the HOA has already installed temporary riprap and sought to construct permanent gabion walls on HOA property. Staff said both the HOA's planned wall and the city's repairs received approvals from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and that coordinating work with the HOA contractor avoids duplicative mobilization costs in a site with very limited access.
Staff described the problem as significant shoreline and channel erosion; the HOA presented survey data the city said showed up to about 5 feet of shoreline loss per year in places. The city's work will include regrading the channel, adding riprap to stabilize slopes, installing a drop structure through the headwall to safely convey stormwater to lake elevation, and tying into the HOA's gabion wall where appropriate.
The contract received council approval after staff said the engineer's opinion of probable cost was approximately $650,000, and that the CIP allocation for the project was $672,000. Staff estimated construction could start in May 2025 and finish in roughly four months for the city portion if the contractor sequences the work to complete the city scope first; if the HOA work is done first the city's portion could be delayed several months.
Councilmember Inswiler moved approval; Councilmember Marks seconded. The motion passed; the transcript records passage but does not record a roll‑call tally in the minutes.
