Page 2 <br /> Regular Meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br /> September 15, 1998 <br /> 5.2 Review and Award Contract to build Well#6 Filter Facility <br /> Bids were received at 2:00 P.M. September 10, 1998 for the Well #6 Filter <br /> Facility. The bid tabulation was presented, with recommendations from Bryan <br /> Adams and Howard R. Green Company, to award the contract to En-Comm <br /> Midwest, as lowest bidder. <br /> James Tralle moved to award the bid for Well #6 Filter Facility to En-Comm <br /> Midwest. John Dietz seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0. <br /> 5.3 Up-date proposed Gas Turbine Project <br /> Bryan Adams reviewed the progress and opportunities involved with the Gas <br /> Turbine project. Exploration of the proposed project must continue before a <br /> joint meeting with City Council can be scheduled. <br /> 5.4 Up-date AEC/UPA Power Contract Negotiations <br /> Bryan Adams reported on the negotiation status. UPA has indicated the <br /> Generation Credit will be raised from $1.65 to $2.50, and further, that the <br /> rate will be based on Urge Tests. UPA will also consider our other requests. <br /> AEC does not appear to be amenable to our requests at this time. At some point <br /> in time, mainly due to deregulation issues, indications point to the fact that the <br /> ERMU Power Purchase Contract with AEC will need to be revised or transferred <br /> to UPA. <br /> 6.1 Review and Award Contract to De-Water Power Plant Basement <br /> Quotes from two companies were presented regarding the De-Watering of the <br /> Power Plant basement. It was noted that verbal approval was <br /> given previously for the lowest bid. <br /> John Dietz moved to award the contract to De-Water the Power Plant <br /> Basement to Brenteson Construction. James Tralle seconded the motion. <br /> Motion carried 3-0. <br /> 6.2 Review proposals for new Office and Power Plant Telephone System <br /> Staff presented a history of the telephone systems presently used. Reasons for <br /> an immediate up-grade were discussed, with regard to the status of the system <br /> we now have. Concern with the need to communicate with the plant, voice mail, <br /> a reliable UPS system and Y2K are needs to be addressed at this time. <br />
