<br /> 178 E 9TH STREET | SUITE 200 | SAINT PAUL, MN | 55101 | 651.286.8450 | WSBENG.COM March 30, 2022 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />City of Hugo, MN <br />14669Fitzgerald Avenue North <br />Hugo, MN 55038 <br /> <br /> <br />Re: Authorize Preparation of Bid Package and Request for Bids for the Water Tower No. 2 <br />Demolition Project <br />WSB Project No. 018814-000 <br /> <br />Dear Mayor and Council: <br /> <br />Water Tower No. 4 (125th Street and Fondant Trail N), is on-line and operational. As you may <br />recall, Water Tower No. 2 (Fenway Boulevard and 130th Street) and Water Tower No. 3 (located <br />near 159th Street and Farnham Ave) were on separate pressure zones and water Tower No. 2 <br />was due for costly rehabilitation. For cost effectiveness reasons, the City of Hugo chose to <br />construct Water Tower No. 4 to a size that would allow the removal of Water Tower No. 2 and <br />allow the City to operate with one pressure zone. Staff has been coordinating the removal of <br />existing utility companies infrastructure located on Water Tower No. 2 to allow its removal. <br /> <br />Staff is requesting Authorization to prepare a bid package and request bids for the removal of <br />Water Tower No. 2. This will be the first bid package and will consist of removing the tower, <br />piping and miscellaneous items. This is specialty work with limited contractors doing this type of <br />work and therefore we are limiting the scope of the bid package to the type of work these <br />contractors perform. Remaining site work and bid packages will be coordinated with Park <br />Planner Denaway and Public Works Director Anderson which will involve an inclusive process of <br />determining what the goals and vision for park are. Once clear direction is known, a second bid <br />package or work performed by public works staff will finalize the clean-up/modifications of the <br />site. <br /> <br />Staff recommends City Council authorize staff to prepare the bid package and request bids for <br />the Water Tower No. 2 Demolition Project. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />WSB <br /> <br /> <br />Mark Erichson <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />cc: <br />Scott Anderson, Public Works Director <br />Shayla Denaway, Parks Planner <br />Bryan Bear, City Administrator <br />Rachel Juba, Community Development Director
