Item No. 7D <br /> Staff Report No. <br /> Meeting Date: December 28, 1998 <br /> Type of Business: C.B. <br /> WK: Work Session;PH:Public Hearing; <br /> CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business <br /> City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> From: Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works <br /> Item Title/Subject: Consideration of Booster Station Revisions Bids <br /> Date of Report: December 23, 1998 <br /> Staff and various engineers have been working on the booster station revisions project <br /> throughout the year. Council may recall a brief report of staff at an earlier council meeting late <br /> this summer, regarding this project. Staff reported that the original project which included new <br /> motor controls,pumps and motors, was expanded to possibly include extensive electrical <br /> upgrades to the facility and Water Treatment Plant No.1. The reason for this was the ever <br /> increasing NSP interruptions during peak energy periods. Staff stated that this project would be <br /> expanded to reduce demand charges on electrical services and increase the productivity of the <br /> existing genset and system pumping capacity. <br /> The project has been finalized, advertised and is scheduled for bid opening on December 28, <br /> 1998. Staff will present the bids at the Council meeting. A request to transfer the funding for this <br /> project into the 1999 budget will be presented accompanied by an additional request to transfer <br /> funds from the Water Reserve Fund to balance the project expenditures. Unknown at this time is <br /> the cost from NSP to perform the related service removal and new installation. <br /> Staff is in the process of writing and advertising the specifications for the control system for this <br /> project, along with the Y2K hardware and software update scheduled for early this spring. At this <br /> time, staff does not have an exact amount of funds necessary to complete these projects. Funds <br /> . have been allocated in the 1999 budget for the Y2K portion of the project. Being that the two are <br /> combined, staff will present the later portion of the project in 1999. <br /> This may seem a bit confusing now, staff will explain the entire project(combination of the two) <br /> at the Council meeting. <br /> If Council has any questions regarding this report prior to the meeting,please feel free to call me. <br /> 0 <br /> • <br /> is ael Ulrich, Director of Public Works <br />
