C.J <br /> alll ilia t hoil <br /> e <br /> DATE : A P P R OVAL : <br /> February 18, 1988 T)3 <br /> VY <br /> TO : <br /> Mayor and Councilmembers <br /> FROM : <br /> Larry Hamer. Public Works Director <br /> l T EM : REPLACEMENT OF THE FOSS ROAD LIFT STATION <br /> The feasibility/cost study on the replacement of the Foss Road Lift Station has <br /> been completed by -Short-Elliott-Hendrickson. They have recommended a new dry well <br /> lift station, similar to the present station, be constructed with new controls, <br /> pump, metering, heating units, electrical , etc. The estimated cost for this <br /> project is $198,000.00. <br /> There are two different options the City has to finance the construction: <br /> (1) direct assessment to the users in Ramsey County; or (2) an increase in the <br /> sewer rate. <br /> I recommend that Short-Elliott-Hendrickson be directed to draw up the plans and <br /> specifications for the bids for construction of the proposed new lift station. <br /> CITY MANAGER COMMENTS <br /> Some costs may also be incurred in the sanitary sewer fund to correct flooding <br /> problems on the south end of the City. Much of this cost may be for storm sewer work <br /> but the sanitary sewr fund's portion of the costs coupled with the Foss Road Lift <br /> station costs will require special assessments or a rate increase as Larry suggests. <br /> We need .to know which avenue of funding you wish to use - and we will prepare <br /> information necessary for either a rate increase - or the public hearings necessary <br /> for assessments. <br /> In the meantime, we need to proceed with the design of the lift station and I rec- <br /> ommend approval of Resolution 88-009. <br /> :cjk2.24.88 <br />
