<br /> <br />REQUEST FOR ACTION <br /> <br />To Item Number <br />City Council 3.5.* <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />Consent August 13, 2007 Gary Leinnoe, Chief Operator, <br /> WWTP <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />Lift Station Wet Well Safety Grates Terry Maurer, Public Works Director <br /> Reviewed by <br /> Lori T ohnson, City Administrator <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />City Council is requested to approve a budget revision in the amount of $26,500 for the sewer division to <br />allow safety grates to be installed on all existing wet wells (25 of them) in 2007 rather than waiting for <br />2008. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />In recent years, we have changed our policy regarding new lift station construction. We now require <br />safety grates on the wet wells to prohibit accidental falls into the structure when working around them. <br />Our most recent lift station constructed in the River Park addition has such a safety grate included with it. <br />In 2008, retrofitting all of the existing 25 lift stations with these safety grates was included in the sewer <br />division budget. Due to the safety nature of this installation, we are requesting a budget amendment of <br />$26,500 to install safety grates in 2007. <br /> <br />The sewer division received four quotes that ranged from $23,336 to $39,338. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />Funding would come from sewer division reserves. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />· Copies of the four quotations <br /> <br />Action <br /> <br />Motion by _ <br /> <br />Second by _ <br /> <br />Vote <br /> <br />Follow Up <br /> <br />c: \Documents and Settings \jrniller\Local Settings \ Temporary Internet Files \ OLK3E\Lift Station Safety Well Grates 08 13 07 (3).doc <br />
