t <br />Alternative Trunk Water System Design <br />Water System <br />March 13,2003 <br />Page S <br />Rccammcndation <br />The City of Orono and the City of Long Lake should discuss a mutually satisfactory means of <br />sharing in the cost of these Improvements. Conceptually, both cities would share equally in the <br />two new interconnects along West Wayzata Boulevard. The City of Long Lake would pay for the <br />water tower rehabilitation and the trunk water main in the Glenmoor area. The method of <br />improving the firm pumping ciqiacity for the merged system and the sharing of that cost may <br />take more discussion. <br />It is recommended that: <br />1. Staff be authorized to develop an agreement with Orono to construct, finance, and maintain <br />the proposed interconnects. <br />2. SEH be authorized to complete the final design of the interconnects. <br />3. Stafi/SEH be authorized to negotiate with the two utility contractors currently working on the <br />utility replacement projects to arrive at a fair cost for the work to be added to their contract(s) <br />by change order. • u r <br />4. Staff be authorized to discuss with Orono an * ceptable and fair means of improving the firm <br />pumping capacity of a merged system. <br />5. SEH should obtain written approval from the Department of Natural Resources to upgrade <br />Well No 2 to a capacity of 1,000 gpm, should this option be pursued. <br />6. The Chy Council authorize preparation of plans and specifications for the rehabilitation of <br />the existing water tower at Willow Drive. <br />7. The Capital Improvement Plan should be amended to include the future system <br />improvements. <br />ka <br />Enclosure <br />cc: Greg Gappa, City of Orono <br />Dave Dudinsky, City of Wayzata <br />water sysim doe
