Elk River Municipal Utilities 322 King Avenue phone: 763.441.2020 Elk River,MN 55330 Fax 763.441.8099 June 2, 2003 To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission John Dietz Jerry Takle James Tralle From: Bryan C. Adams Subject: 4th Ave. Pavement Rehabilitation Program The 2003 Elk River Municipal Utilities budget contains a$300,000 line item to replace the water main and non-copper service line when the City does the 4th Street rehabilitation project. As you recall from previous discussion, staff desires to replace the existing 4" water main with a 10" to improve the hydraulics between the Gary Street and Freeport Street water towers. This will also improve our ability to get water to western Elk River from the low pressure zone. This upgrade will also improve the fire flow in the area as well. Included in this project is the construction of 6" water mains on Quinn, Oxford, and Norfolk between 4th & 5th Street. See the attached map. Many of the water services in this area are galvanized steel services. As part of this project, we will replace the non-copper services from the main to the curb stop. The owner is encouraged to replace the service from the curb stop to their meter. See the attached letter to the customer. Howard R. Green Company drafted plans, specifications, and secured proposals for this project. The City authorized this project on May 27, 2003. Attached is a copy of Howard Green Company correspondence dated May 19, 2003, reflecting our cost of $285,219.66, plus field inspection costs, along with the bid tabulation. This commission should formally authorize this project. The 2003 Elk River Municipal Utilities budget also contains a $35,000 item to replace the existing overhead electrical distribution system with an underground system. This project will progress in conjunction with the street rehabilitation projects, thus saving money in site restoration.
