SOURCE OF FUNDS: This project was identified in the 2022-2031 Capital Improvement Plan. The source of the funds will be from the Water and Sewer Capital Replacement Fund. The fund is healthy and can support the additional funding necessary to complete the project. The cost of the work will also be covered with funds from the Metropolitan Council’s Inflow and Infiltration program. Based on the work being done by the City, up to $131,000 may be eligible for grant funds but the ultimate award is based on the amount of communities that participate in the program. The City was eligible for $75,000 in funds during the last grant cycle and received $51,000 after all funds were split among the participating cities. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends the City Council award the Base Bid in the amount of $310,505.13 to Insituform Technologies USE, LLC. Bolton and Menk has extensive work experience with Insituform Technologies USA, LLC, and as the inventor of this technology, they are extremely qualified to do the work and will complete the work in a quality manner within the constraints/guidelines of the project specifications.
