Elk River <br />Municip al Utilitie s <br />13069 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />March 9, 2006 <br />To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />Jerry Takle <br />John Dietz <br />Jim Tralle <br />From: Bryan Adams <br />Subject: Electrical Project Update <br />phone: 763.441.2020 <br />Fax: 763.441.8099 <br />We are getting into our 2006 budget year enough where we are starting to see some <br />significant electrical capital budget variances. These capital project variances are due to <br />added projects we were not aware of, larger scope of anticipated projects and under <br />estimated initial project. <br />The concerned projects are as follows: <br />a) Move Overhead line on Co Rd 33. Road improvement received federal funding. <br />We were planning to do only the gravel pit area. <br />b) Rebuild Overhead line on Co Rd 40. Road improvement received federal <br />funding. <br />Late construction - $100,000 may carry over to 2007. <br />c) Rebuild Parrish Ave. (Co Rd 42) from Co Rd 39 to H.W. 101 due to Super <br />Target expansion in Otsego. <br />d) 3 Otsego feeders became more involved than originally anticipated. <br />e) Use of more expensive padmount switchgear. <br />f) Super Target development in Otsego anticipated cost of $268,000 of which <br />ERMU and developer equally share in this cost of $134,000 each. Our budget <br />allowance for new development is $330,000 which leaves $196,000 for <br />remaining 2006 developments. <br />g) We do not know at this time the budget impact of moving underground lines <br />from Highland Ave and Dodge Ave road reconstruction projects. <br />
