Howard R, Green Oompany <br />QONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />July 5, 2000 <br />File: 807650-0060 <br /> <br />Item ~ 4.1. <br /> <br />The Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />WESTERN AREA PHASE IV PROJECT <br />CITY OF ELK RIVER, MINNESOTA <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />We have completed the revisions to the Western Area Phase IV Improvement Project plans and <br />specification. These revisions included the trunk sanitary sewer and water main across the <br />Stewart Wilson property together with comments we received from Mn/DOT regarding Business <br />Center Drive and Waco Street. As you are aware, we have just recently scheduled the public <br />hearing/assessment hearing for August 7, 2000. We would recommend at this time that the City <br />Council authorize the advertisement for bids so that a construction bid will be available for that <br />public hearing/assessment hearing. Attached is a Resolution for the City Council's <br />consideration that would approve the plans and authorize the advertisement for bids. These <br />bids would be opened on August 1, 2000, and be ready for presentation at the August 7, 2000, <br />City Council meeting. <br /> <br />At the last City Council meeting that this project was presented, there was some discussion <br />relative to the extension of sanitary sewer and water to additional residential properties. By <br />approving the Resolution authorizing the advertisement for bids, the City Council is not <br />indicating that the project will move forward to construction. That decision will be made after the <br />public hearing/assessment hearing when the City Council will be asked to consider a Resolution <br />ordering the project and awarding the construction bid. The project will be bid such that the City <br />Council will have three options at the public hearing/assessment hearing: (1) they can award <br />the project as is, (2) they can reject all bids and kill the project at that time, or (3) they can <br />award the project with portions of it removed prior to the award. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this project, I will be in attendance at your July 10, 2000, <br />City Council meeting. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Howard R.
