LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 20, 1985 Page 6 <br />The City's estimate, $739,000, that was provided to the County was <br />based on actual bids received for similar type work and the <br />County's preliminary cost estimate is $485,000. For the well, <br />pump, pressure tank, well house, electrical and mechanical <br />equipment the County's estimate was $66,000 and TKDA's estimate <br />was $220,000 which was based on recent bids. Bohrer quoted from a <br />Wisconsin document that the Health Dept. sited as what they wanted <br />to use to establish a minimum "if no elevated storage is <br />available and more than 50 homes are to be served, two or more <br />pumping units shall be provided each of which shall supply the <br />normal daily demands." <br />After considerable discussion with the City Council and a number <br />of the area residents which attended the meeting, the City Council <br />instructed Arlyn Christ with assistance from City Attorney Knaak <br />to prepare a draft letter to the County Boards with technical <br />assistance by the City Engineer providing for the following: <br />a. Insist on some County participation on the 0&M costs so that <br />water rates are able to be maintained at a reasonable level. <br />b. No release from liability. <br />c. Reasonable expandability built into the system if there is a <br />foreseeable need to expand because of the contamination. <br />d. The preliminary watermain route had been previously agreed <br />upon. <br />e. Accept 6" diameter watermains and agree on a well capacity <br />somewhere between 370-700 gpm which will be the maximum <br />capacity that can be provided through a 6" main. <br />The City Council will review this draft letter at the next City <br />Council meeting. <br />F. 201 Resolution <br />The City Engineer presented sample wording for a resolution as <br />requested by the MPCA stating that the City is aware of the most <br />recent cost estimates, the local share of the project and that the <br />City intends to proceed with the program and assess the local <br />share. The City Council then reviewed the draft resolution and <br />approved without change. <br />M/S/P Armstrong/Dunn - to adopt Resolution 85-29 approving the <br />draft resolution requested by the MPCA stating that the City is <br />aware of the most recent cost estimates, the local share of the <br />project and that the City intends to proceed with the program and <br />assess the local share.
