Body
SUMMARY/KEY POINTS
• The actual extent of muck in Pond A20 exceeded the estimated quantity during design.
• This muck needs to be removed and replaced with suitable soil so the proposed grading of the pond can be completed.
BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
On Oct. 26, 2021, the Board of Trustees approved Resolution 21-150 regarding an agreement with Vista Ridge Metropolitan District for the Maintenance of Ponds and Sidewalks. In this agreement, the Town of Erie agreed to be responsible for maintaining ponds.
On Aug.15, 2022, the Town entered into a Professional Services Agreement with RESPEC Company LLC, to design Ponds A20 and A19.
On Jan. 13, 2026, the Town and RCD Construction, Inc. entered into a Construction Contract for the Vista Ridge Ponds A19 & A20.
This project will improve the detention pond outlet structures, add trickle channels, forebays, and maintenance access paths. These improvements will enhance the appearance of the ponds and make the ponds easier to access for maintenance.
As Pond A20 was being dewatered, the contractor was able to access the bottom of the pond to determine the extent of the existing muck. Due to the years of excess depth of standing water in this pond, the originally planned wetland vegetation could not establish. Also, during this time, the ground became super saturated, and the depth of muck was much more extensive than estimated. This muck needs to be removed and replaced with suitable soil so the proposed grading of the pond can be completed.
