Box 490 <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: TH 10 LIFT STATION AND TRUNK SANITARY SEWER <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />As directed by the City Council, we have completed the preparation of plans and specifications for the <br />upgrade of the trunk sanitary sewer and lift station between Main Street and the wastewater treatment <br />plant. At this time, we are prepared to recommend the City Council consider the attached resolution, <br />which approves the plans and specifications and authorizes the advertisement for bids. As you recall <br />from our previous discussion, this completes the upgrading of the trunk sanitary sewer, which was <br />initiated in 1988 with the Main Street project. This will provide the capacity to serve the entire western <br />e area down Main Street and ultimately to the wastewater treatment plant. <br /> <br />In working with sewer superintendent Darrell Mack, we have prepared plans and specifications with two <br />alternatives. One would relay the existing pipe on its current alignment and rebuild the lift station at <br />its current location. The second alternative involves the construction of a new lift station near the <br />intersection of Main Street and, utilizing a lining material, would turn the existing gravity sewer into <br />a forcemain. This would provide for competitive bids in which we can analyze both the current <br />construction cost and the long term operation and maintenance cost of the system <br /> <br />We anticipate a September 8th bid opening date which will allow the award of the contract and the <br />construction of the improvements yet this fall. Final restoration of the entire area may not be completed <br />until the spring of 1994. <br /> <br />If you have any questions or comments regarding this, I will be in attendance at your August 16th <br />Council meeting. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />MAIER STEWART & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> <br />~J/f~ <br /> <br />Terry 1.
