i <br /> Elk River <br /> Municipal Utilities <br /> 322 King Avenue phone: 763.441.2020 <br /> Elk River,MN 55330 Fax:763.441.8099 <br /> May 6, 2003 <br /> To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br /> John Dietz <br /> Jerry Takle <br /> James Tralle <br /> From: Bryan C. Adams <br /> Subject: Parrish to Bridge Ducts <br /> When the Parrish Avenue Bridge was constructed across the Mississippi River, the Elk <br /> River Municipal Utilities had installed three 5"diameter ducts. Two of these ducts are <br /> utilized to carry underground electrical feeders across the river and the remaining duct is <br /> not used. These feeders serve Otsego and Dayton load. Attached is a letter from <br /> NorthStar Access, reflecting their desire to purchase the un-used duct on this bridge for <br /> $9,000. NorthStar Access' other option is to directional bore the Mississippi River for an <br /> estimated cost of$25,000 to $30,000. <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities and Wright Hennepin Coop has an agreement where we can <br /> utilize Wright Hennepin Otsego Substation as the Otsego/Dayton electric load increases. <br /> The chance of us needing this third 5" duct in the future is slim. Staff can support the <br /> concept of selling this duct. <br />
