Ji Elk River Municipal Utilities 13069 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 430 Elk River, MN 55330-0430 June 16, 2008 To: Lori Johnson, City Administrator From: Bryan Adams, Elk River Municipal Utilities General Manager Subject: Hwy 10 Street Lighting Phone: ?63.441.2020 Fax: 763.441.8099 In December 2006, I assisted your engineering department in developing a plan and cost estimates to replace the lights on Hwy 10. In May of 2008 we removed two street lights on Hwy 10 to determine if the existing foundations and electric system are in good enough condition to be reused. After inspecting the foundations and electric system, it appears both are in good condition and can be reused. Per our discussion at the June 10, 2008 Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission meeting, we are to give you a proposal to remove and reinstall these highway lights. We would propose to remove and reinstall the 26 lights (8 single and 18 double arms) on a time and material basis with an estimated cost of $34,000 per the following. 1) City of Elk River will purchase the lights, poles, and bases etc., delivered to our facility. We can assist you in the pole selection 2) City to provide traffic control and flagmen if necessary. 3) Above estimate is based on using existing foundations and wiring. If a foundation cannot be used due to bad anchor bolts or wiring issues develop, ascrew-in steel anchor base plate will be used at additional cost along with wiring modifications. Concrete patching of median may also be necessary at additional cost. 4) The existing lighting system is divided into four electric zones. We are proposing to complete one zone at a time to ensure at least part of the Hwy 10 corridor is always lit. 5) This work should be completed 28 working days or 5 to 6 weeks. If you need additional information, do not hesitate to call.
