The Inwood Booster Station Improvements are being completed in conjunction with the Inwood Trunk Watermain Improvements which is being bid as a separate construction package. The project is scheduled to be paid through a combination of the City’s Water Enterprise Fund, bonding, and MN-DEED grants. Approval of this resolution does not commit the council to the project costs. Once contractor bids are received, the actual construction costs will be known and the council will be asked to consider entering into a contract to complete the work. SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The City Council is respectfully requested to consider approving the plans and specifications and ordering the advertisement for bids for the Inwood Water Booster Station. The recommended motion for this action is as follows: City Council Meeting [Regular Agenda Item 9] February 2, 2016 -- page 2 -- “Move to approve Resolution No. 2016-07, approving the plans and specifications and ordering the advertisement for bids for the Inwood Water Booster Station.” LEGISLATIVE HISTORY/BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In accordance with the 2016 Capital Improvement Plan, the City is proposing to build a booster station necessary to deliver City water service to support the growth and development in the I-94 corridor. This project is part of the overall water system master plan and will help to provide water service to the new developments between Keats Avenue and Inwood Avenue, including Savona (Lennar), Boulder Ponds (Excelsior Group), Hammes Estates, Inwood PUD (Hans Hagen), and the existing properties within the Eagle Point Business Park. On January 21, 2014, the council authorized the preparation of plans and specifications for the Inwood Booster Station. Then on April 15, 2014 the project was put on hold and the bid date delayed until such a time that the City Administrator could secure the MN-DEED Water System Grant. The project funding has now been secured and the design consultant, MSA Professional Services, Inc., has completed the construction documents for the improvements to be constructed in 2016. The improvements include the construction of a 40-foot by 28-foot structure to house pumps, discharge piping, electrical equipment, and chemical feed equipment. The structure will be a slab on grade with masonry load bearing walls and a protective/water resistant ceiling. The exterior architecture follows the direction provided by Council at the October 6, 2015 Council meeting including a prairie style roof, and stone veneer siding on the two more visible building sides. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council approve the plans and specifications and order the advertisement for bids for the Inwood Water Booster Station Improvements. The recommended motion for this action is as follows: “Move to approve Resolution No. 2016-07, approving the plans and specifications and ordering the advertisement for bids for the Inwood Water Booster Station.” ATTACHMENT(S): 1.
