The watermain will be installed using directional drilling to minimize roadway impacts and closures with <br />full excavations required at hydrants and tie-in locations (see anticipated excavation locations on the <br />attached location map). A 14-inch HDPE pipe will be installed (equivalent 12-inch watermain) to replace <br />the existing 6-inch watermain to complete a trunk network loop in support of the recent expansion of the <br />Old Village area. <br />A project schedule is attached and outlines the implementation timeframe to ready the improvements for <br />construction in 2026. The schedule proposes a February bid date to position the project for potentially <br />favorable pricing. To meet this early bid date, it will be important to complete the topographic survey along <br />the project corridor prior to winter snow cover. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: $77,600 to be paid from the Water Enterprise Fund for design phase services. A high <br />level preliminary cost estimate for the total project is roughly $850,000, based on a $330 per foot bid price <br />of directional drilling from the I-94 Forcemain bids. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize design phase services for <br />the CSAH 14 Watermain Improvements, from CSAH 17 (north leg) to Layton Avenue. The <br />recommended motion for this action is as follows: <br />“Move to authorize Bolton and Menk, Inc. to prepare plans and specifications in the amount of <br />$77,600 for the CSAH 14 Watermain Improvements, from CSAH 17 (north leg) to Layton <br />Avenue”. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />1.Project Location Map. <br />2.Project Schedule. <br />3.Engineer’s Fee Estimate.
