Consideration of Resolution No. 98 - 21, Lakes Addition Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation, Approve Plans and Specifications and Order Advertisement for Bids - Mr. Ahrens provided the following background for this item: On November 10, 1997, Council ordered the reconstruction of certain streets located on the east side of Reshanau Lake. As discussed in the feasibility study, the project includes the repair of sanitary sewer lines that are located in the streets which are proposed for reconstruction. At this time, Staff is requesting that Council approve the plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for bids for the sanitary sewer repairs only. It is expected that approval of the street reconstruction portion of the project will be requested at the next regular Council meeting. Mr. Ahrens explained that repair of the sanitary sewer lines is necessary to correct leakage problems and that letting one contract ahead of the other will result in fewer conflicts between repair and construction contractors working in the area. The estimated cost of the sanitary sewer rehabilitation work is $105,400, and it is intended for payment to come from the Area and Unit Fund. Mayor Sullivan asked that assurances be included within this contract that the rehabilitation work will be completed prior to the reconstruction project.
