Mr. Michael Grochala September 20, 2016 Page 2 K:\Personal\Erin Heydinger\Lino Lakes\LTR - PROPOSAL - m grochala - WaterTowerSiting - 110816.docx Task 2: Storage Size and Type Using water use data and population projections, WSB will determine the size of storage tank the City will require to adequately serve the future population. In addition to tank size, two types of storage will be considered: ground storage and elevated storage. Ground storage can be at grade or sub-grade. Water from ground storage reservoirs is supplied to the system via high service pumps. Elevated storage tanks are raised and do not require a pump station; the elevation of the tank provides water pressure to the distribution system. WSB will evaluate both types of storage for the City and will provide a recommendation. Task 3: Determination of Potential Sites Once the type of tank is determined, we will evaluate potential sites for the tank. The sites highlighted in TKDA’s Water Treatment Plant Feasibility Study, dated September 17, 2007, will be analyzed in this study. Up to three additional sites will also be studied. Any additional sites studied will be determined using GIS and will be based on location within the water distribution system, gr ound elevations, likely soil type, and ownership. Task 4: Water Distribution System Modeling In 2015, WSB created an existing and ultimate water system model in WaterCAD that will be used for this study. The existing system model will be updated with any watermain changes that have been made since its creation. The model’s ultimate water demands were based on the City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Since that time, the Metropolitan Council has released new population and water demand projections; the City’s ultimate water model demands will be updated accordingly. Once the model has been updated, scenarios will be created to evaluate the impact of adding storage at each of the sites identified in Task 3. If necessary, alternatives to each scenario will be included to determine how to successfully integrate storage at each site. Task 5: Cost Estimates Approximate cost estimates will be provided for each site considered. The cost estimates will be based on the findings from tasks 2 through 6. The estimated costs included in the final report will include a construction contingency and indirect costs. Specific design requirements unique to each site will be considered. Task 6: Prepare Feasibility Report WSB will deliver a detailed feasibility report outlining the methods and results of the study. The report will include a final recommendation based on cost and design requirements. The findings from the storage evaluation, site determination, geotechnical evaluation, water distribution system modeling, and cost estimates will be included in the report. The report will allow the City to move forward in property acquisition (if necessary), design, and construction of the storage facility. Cost and Schedule The estimated cost to perform Tasks 1 through 6 described above is $14,900 billed on an hourly, not-to- exceed basis. The following presents the cost breakdown for each task presented in this proposal. These fees do not include geotechnical services. A proposal to obtain soil borings and provide a geotechnical report will be submitted to the City after the potential water storage facility sites have been determined during the study phase. Task Number Description Cost 1 Project Management and Coordination $1,900 2 Storage Size and Type $2,400 3 Determination of Potential Sites $3,400 4 Water Distribution System Modeling $3,700 5 Cost Estimates $1,800 6 Prepare Feasibility Report $3,900 Total Direct Labor Costs: $17,100
