As you recall, this interim plan was <br />necessitated by the failure of one of the main treatment facilities at the existing plant. The <br />interim plan consists of constructing a trickling filter unit which is part of the planned major <br />upgrading of the treatment plant. This construction will eliminate the concern regarding the <br />failed treatment facility and will also slightly increase the capacity of the treatment plant. <br />The estimated construction cost of these improvements is $1,000,000, which will result in <br />a similar reduction in the cost of the major plant upgrading scheduled for 1995/1996. <br /> <br />The plans for this interim improvement have been completed, and reviewed and approved <br />by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. We are therefore ready to proceed with the <br />bidding and construction of these improvements. Attached for the City Council's <br />consideration is a draft resolution which approves the plans and specifications and authorizes <br />the advertisement for bids. We would recommend that the City Council adopt the resolution <br />to proceed upgrading of the wastewater treatment plant. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, I will be in attendance at Monday evening's meeting. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />~%~ <br /> <br />Terry J.
