Resolution 7934, Approving Bid Documents and Authorizing Advertisement for Bids for 2012 Sanitary Sewer Slip Lining Project. <br /> <br />Public Works Director DeBar stated the majority of the City’s 44 miles of sanitary sewer was built out of clay and concrete pipe. The system was built in the 1960’s and early 1970’s. <br /> The 8” clay pipe was aging and in need of replacement. He stated the City was working to improve the system to eliminate infiltration and unnecessary treatment expenses. City Staff <br /> has been televising trunk sewers for deficiencies and have made a priority list for repairs and pipe replacements. <br /> <br />Public Works Director DeBar stated Area E line concerns would be addressed this year through the Street and Utility Improvement Project. He discussed the slip lining process further <br /> with the Council and recommended approval of the bid documents and to authorize advertisement for bid. He indicated the City had $125,000 budgeted for 2012 for this project. These <br /> funds would complete one-half to one mile of sewer pipe in the City. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Stigney.

Resolution 7935, Authorizing Stantec to Perform Preliminary Design Services for County Road H Sidewalk Project. <br /> <br />Public Works Director DeBar stated the City has been pursuing improvements to the trailway and sidewalk system in the community. This provided regional connections while also making <br /> the community more walkable. The City’s master trailway map was recently updated in 2008. He commented the Public Works Department suggested a sidewalk along north side of County <br /> Road H as it would create a great trail connection. The Park Commission agreed with this option. <br /> <br />Public Works Director DeBar indicated the sidewalk was not included in the Area E Street Improvement Project but would affect seven streets in Area E and the curb cuts could be completed <br /> as needed. He requested the Council authorize Stantec to perform preliminary design services for a sidewalk along County Road H. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller asked for further clarification on the location of the sidewalk. Public Works Director DeBar reviewed a map with the Council pointing out the proposed location <br /> along County Road H. The connection would create a contiguous trail from Fridley city limits to 35W.
