inspection and rehabilitation. With the water tower project rescheduled for 2003, staff recommends that these funds be allocated to a well rehabilitation project this year and the water tower rehabilitation project be fully budgeted in the proposed 2003 budget – in the amount of $35,000. This proposal would also reduce a peak in the 2003 budget by avoiding the rehabilitation of the water tower and two wells all in one year. Preliminary Report - Based upon the nature of this project, the preparation of a preliminary engineering report will neither be necessary nor feasible. Waive Public Improvement Hearing – Financing for the 2002 Well Rehabilitation Project, which is comprised of Wells Number 1 and 2, will be derived entirely from the City of Mounds View Enterprise Fund. Because assessments are not a funding source, City staff is requesting that the public improvement hearing be waived. Ordering of Project – Should the Council wish to proceed with this project, the next step in the public improvement process is to order the project. Authorize Plans and Specifications – In an effort to reduce costs, staff will be developing the specifications. Staff recommends that plans and specifications be ordered at this time. What’s Next – Should the Council want to proceed with this project, the following is a tentative schedule for this project: November 12th Approve plans and specifications November 12th Set a December 3rd bid date November 20th & 27th Advertise bids December 3rd 10:00 a.m. Receive bids December 9th Award contract December 9th Start project February 28th 2003 Complete project Recommendation: It is recommended the City Council adopt a resolution ordering the project and authorizing the preparation of plans and specifications for the 2002 Well Rehabilitation Project.
