Mr. Pat Klaers <br />Page 2 <br />June 12, 2000 <br /> <br />An overlay of Main Street is planned from Carson Street to the railroad crossing near <br />TH 10. This will rejuvenate the surface of Main Street, which is approximately 16 <br />years old and beginning to show signs of wear and tear. <br />Bryan Adams, General Manager of the Elk River Municipal Utilities, has asked us to <br />include two watermain improvements with this project. The first watermain <br />improvement would construct a 16-inch watermain to replace the current existing 6- <br />inch watermain on Main Street from Carson Street to CSAH 13. This will include of <br />jacking under T.H. 169. The second improvement Mr. Adams asked to be included <br />is an alternate bid to replace the existing 6-inch watermain in Main Street from <br />Carson Street to Gates Avenue with a new 16-inch watermain. If this improvement is <br />pursued by the Elk River Municipal Utilities, it is our understanding that they will pay <br />for removing and replacing approximately half of the width of Main Street prior to the <br />overlay, which would be funded by the City. <br /> <br />We have attached a resolution for the City's Council's consideration which would approve the <br />plans and specification and order the advertisement for bids. We anticipate opening bids on <br />Thursday, July 6, 2000. Bids would then be available for City Council consideration as early as <br />July 10, 2000. If all components of the project are authorized to proceed, construction would <br />need to begin shortly after bid opening to insure that the project is substantially complete and <br />ready for traffic prior to the opening of the Wal-Mart and Home Depot stores and the onset of <br />the winter months. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Howard R.
