Specifically, the following streets will be reconstructed: East Shadow Lake Drive, Lantern Lane, Lantern Circle, Partridge Place, Black Duck Drive, Black Duck Circle, Mallard Lane, and Crystal Court. These streets were chosen as a result of a report investigating the condition of all streets within the City, with this neighborhood determined to have the greatest need. The total estimated cost for street reconstruction is $1,667,477.44. Estimated total cost for storm sewer reconstruction is $292,913.46. Sanitary sewer repairs are estimated at $57,182.82; watermain, $234,082.61. The total amount including the bond referendum and assessment to property owners is estimated to be $1,960,360. The proposed schedule for this project is as follows: Council approves plans Bid opening Council awards bid Construction begins Substantial completion March 23, 1998 April 21, 1998 April 27, 1998 May, 1998 October, 1998 Mayor Sullivan stressed the need to operate within the financial perameters as set forth above.

Consideration of Resolution No. 98 - 28, Order Improvement, Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids, Black Duck Lift Station - Mr. Ahrens explained that on January 26, 1998 Council ordered preparation of plans and specifications for the construction of a new lift station on Black Duck Drive. The proposed construction would coincide with the Lakes Addition Street Reconstruction Project in order to minimize construction activity within the neighborhood while replacing a deficient lift station. The existing lift station consists of a wet well to store waste water, which is connected to a separate dry well that houses the pump and fittings. This design requires maintenance personnel to enter the dry well to work on the pumps, which requires special safety precautions in order to meet OSHA rules. Additionally, the waste water flow volumes have exceeded the lift station's capacity. In order to accommodate the high flow volumes, the pump currently cycles at the extremely high rate of 15 times per hour for a 30 -second duration. Such frequency in cycling contributes substantially to excessive wear, with recommended cycle times being 6 cycles per hour. The project is estimated to cost approximately $248,000, and funding is proposed from the City's area and unit fund.
