Honorable Mayor, City Council, and 70 City Staff May 21, 2003 Page 3 VI. Water Treatment Plant Improvements Alternatives for improving the chemical treatment process at the City's water treatment plant have been prepared and reviewed with City staff. A chemical treatment process has been selected and final plans and specifications for the treatment plant improvements are underway. It is anticipated that the project will be bid this fall with construction occurring over the winter months. VII. Kenzie Terrace Water Main and Sanitary Sewer Improvements Plans and specifications for the Kenzie Terrace water main and sanitary sewer improvements are complete. Discussions are still being held with the Metropolitan Council on their concerns associated with the Met Council Meter Station located in the vicinity of Lowry and Harding Street in Minneapolis. We anticipate holding a meeting with the Metropolitan Council to discuss the issues associated with the proposed sanitary and sewer improvements in the first week of June. Following this meeting, we anticipate the plans would be revised to address the issues presented by the Metropolitan Council and that Advertisements for Bids would begin at the end of June with a bid opening in mid-July and construction beginning thereafter. A neighborhood meeting will be held in July to discuss the project schedule and a proposed scope of impacts to the residents and businesses adjacent to the proposed improvements. VIII. 2003 Street Reconstruction Phase I of the 2003 Street Reconstruction, which is Edward Street from 33rd Avenue to 34th Avenue and 34th Avenue from Stinson Boulevard to Edward Street, is nearing completion. All the utilities have been installed and the road reconstruction work is progressing according to schedule. The Contractor has requested that the construction schedule be modified. The new schedule anticipates completion of this year's project by the end of August reducing the construction period by nearly two months. Furthermore, the Contractor has provided assurances to the City that if the project does not proceed in accordance with our expectations, that the Contractor would cease operations and return to the original construction schedule. It is our anticipation that by moving the construction schedule up two months we can reduce the duration and inconveniences of construction activities to the residents within the project limits.
