Memo 11.144111% CI- - ASSOCIATES TRUL NURTR TO: Joel Hanson, City Administrator FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer DATE: July 13, 2005 RE: Cost of Utility Service to MAC Properties Site As requested, we have investigated the possibility of providing utility service to the property owned by MAC Properties located south of Woodlawn Avenue just east of the railroad tracks. This site is a possible site for a new Public Works Garage. Sanitary Sewer There are only two options for providing sanitary sewer service to the property. The first would be to extend a gravity sewer line from the existing lift station near the intersection of Woodlyn Avenue and Sandberg Road. This option would require the acquisition of an easement approximately 160 feet long by 30 feet wide south of Sandberg Road to access the property. The exact location of the building is unknown but we have estimated that approximately 760 feet of 8" sanitary main would be needed to serve a building on the west side of the property. This easement could also be used as a second access to the property if acquired as such. In the estimate we have provided for a $4.00 per square foot cost for the easement. It may be possible to provide sanitary sewer service to the two properties to the south of the existing site in question with this line as well and assessments to these properties could be used to help pay for the line if service was provided. The second option would be to install a grinder pump in the building and lift the sewage to the manhole just east of the tracks within the Soo Lane right -of -way. The size of the forcemain, as well as the cost of the grinder pump will be dependent on the anticipated amount of flow and the length of the forcemain. This option would not provide any future service to the properties to the south. Service Method Gravity Sewer Forcemain Grinder Pump Construction Cost $77,200.00 $30,000.00 Watermain There is an existing watermain stub on Soo Lane that could be extended for service to the property. At this time we have estimated a 270 foot extension of the 8 inch main and the addition of one hydrant on the end of the line. This extension would be sufficient to provide water service to the middle of the lot on the west side. Again the exact location of the building is unknown at this time and additional hydrants may be needed for fire protection. The estimated construction cost of the watermain extension is $27,500.00. 10062 Flanders Court NE, Blaine, MN 55449 — Ph: (763) 780-0450 — Fax: (763) 780 -0452 C:Documents and Settings\joel.hanson \ocal Settings \Temporary Internet Files \OLK232 \Memo - 071305 -CC -City Shop.doc
