Andy Brotzler of the City Engineer's Office discussed the tentative schedule for east Elk River improvements, as presented in a 2/3/99 letter from City Engineer Terry Maurer. Andy stated that with the assumption that City Council will award the bid for the project at the February 22, 1999, City Council meeting, it will then take approximately two weeks for the necessary paperwork before the contractor can be given the Notice to Proceed and mobilize to the site. He stated that it is anticipated that underground construction would not start before April 1, 1999. It is projected that there will be sanitary sewer and water through the Trott Brook Farms, Elk River Crossing, and Vandenberg Industrial Development by September 1, 1999. e Andy indicated according to original contract documents, a February 1, 1999, start date was anticipated. He stated that assuming the contractor starts approximately two months late, it is believed that the project would be half to three quarters complete by the winter shutdown of 1999. This would mean the sanitary sewer and water project would not be complete until mid summer of the year 2000.
