MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 89 2022 2022 SEWER REHABILITATION PROJECT The Public Works Director explained that the City adopted a program in 2020 to start rehabilitating the public sanitary sewer system by utilizing cured -in -place -pipe (CIPP) liners to restore the structural integrity of the existing clay sewer pipe system, as well as to reduce inflow and infiltration of groundwater into the public sewer system. He stated the first CIPP lining project in Little Canada was completed in 2020 by Hydro-Klean. He noted that CIPP lining continues to be the most cost-effective pipe rehabilitation method for restoring the integrity of gravity sewers. He reported that $200,000 was budgeted in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to complete these repairs in 2022, and funds will continue to be budgeted each year. He stated that the City was awarded $53,570.00 from the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) Municipal Inflow & Infiltration Grant Program so the total funding allocated for this project is currently $253,570.00. The Public Works Director explained that the base bid consists of approximately 4,844 linear feet of 8- inch CIPP rehabilitation along County Road B, Lakeshore Avenue and Australian Avenue. He stated the alternate bid adds 2,580 linear feet of 8-inch CIPP to the contract along McMenemy Street. He noted that if the work is not awarded and completed in 2022, the City will lose the grant funding allocated to them from MCES. This project was identified in the 2022-2031 Capital Improvement Plan and the funds will be from the Water and Sewer Capital Replacement Fund. McGraw introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOL UTIONNO. 2022-6-77 — A WARD THE BASE BID AND ALTERNATE BID IN THE AMOUNT OF $233,473.72 TO HYDRO KLEAN, LLC FOR THE 2022 SANITARY SEWER REHA BILITA TION PR OJE CT The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Keis. Ayes (4). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. UPDATE ON LITTLE CANADA ROAD HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (HSIP) & MnDOT LOCAL PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM (LPP) GRANT APPLICATIONS The City Engineer stated that the existing conditions along Little Canada Road from Centerville Road to Lakeshore Avenue are difficult to navigate for cars, bicycles, and pedestrians. He explained these conditions were discussed at the April 13 City Council Workshop and the Council approved the resources to apply for two different grant opportunities: The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) for improvements along Little Canada Road to improve safety through the corridor and the other was the MnDOT Local Partnership Program (LPP) for a potential realignment of Country Drive.' He noted that the City currently does not have an ADA Self -evaluation component, so the County's plan was referenced since this was a partnership application. He noted that as engineering staff looked at this further, there may be another option for the interchange intersections, so the LPP application was not submitted at this time. The City Administrator stated that Ramsey County has submitted letters of support for these grants, and engineering staff is supportive of exploring making changes and improvements.
