Item No: 8L Meeting Date: April 14, 2025 MOUNDSVIEW Type of Business: Council Business Administrator Review: City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Don Peterson, Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation Item Title/Subject: Resolution 10088, Approval of the 2025 Sanitary Sewer Line Rehabilitation - CIPP (Cured-in-Place-Pipe) Project Background / Discussion: The municipal sanitary sewer system is comprised of approximately 45 miles of trunk sewer, 900 manholes, and 2 lift stations. The sanitary trunk sewer was largely constructed in the 1960's and early 1970's using (predominately) clay pipe. The use of clay pipe during this time was the industry standard, but more watertight pipe products (PVC) have been developed and replaced clay pipe which became the new industry standard the last few decades. Leaky clay pipes incur unnecessary Met Council treatment costs due to infiltration of ground water into the trunk sewer. Public Works has an inspection and maintenance program for the municipal sanitary sewer system. This program includes inspecting the trunk sewer by televising and evaluating the condition of the pipes. Defects are noted/documented while performing inspections, including cracks in the pipe and leaking joints. A priority list that ranks the segments of pipe requiring repair or remediation is maintained by Public Works. A map of the 2025 sanitary sewer rehabilitation priorities is attached (Attachment A) the base bid and bid alternates are highlighted for reference. Public Works in conjunction with Stantec has prepared plans and specifications (bid documents) in house for use in obtaining public bids for the sanitary rehabilitation project, City Project 2024-007.
