 Added the replacement of existing water main along County Road E2 where the repair of three water main breaks in 2015 revealed deteriorated pipe material. Also included the addition of a water main loop along Old Hwy 10 from County Road E to County Road E2 to provide redundancy to the system. These improvements are estimated to cost $400,000 and were placed in 2017.  The North Water Tower Repainting is planned for 2016. It had been budgeted at $750,000. The estimated cost has been raised to $900,000 based on a current analysis of the market for this type of work. Note: depending on the timing for the construction of a new water tower in TCAAP, it may be advisable to wait until that new tower is operational to repaint the existing tower as the new tower will provide better back-up while the existing tower is out-of-service for repainting. D. Street Department  Lexington Avenue Improvement (I-694 to CR F) raised the City contribution from $100,000 to $300,000 to reflect the costs the City has agreed to with approval of the Cooperative Agreement.  Added the Hwy 96 Landscaping in 2017 at an estimated cost of $600,000 in 2017. This item reflects that medians and boulevard areas have been created with the recently completed U.S. 10/Hwy 96 Grade Separation project and more will be created with the 35W/Hwy 96 Interchange project that will need to be landscaped. The cost is truly just a place saver with no preliminary design estimates preformed at this time.  Old Snelling Avenue, including the bridge replacement, has been moved from 2025 to 2017 for two purposes. First, it is anticipated that in mid- 2016 the City should be granted State bridge bonding monies for half of the bridge construction cost. Second, there was much discussion about this project and its timing at the franchise fees public hearing. So the project has been moved to 2017 for Council discussion regarding when it should be considered. E. Equipment  Removed “Replace 2005 4-Door Diesel Pickup” at $44,000 from 2016.  Increased the cost of the “Replace 1997 Street Sweeper” anticipating that TCAAP could have some public permeable pavers that would require a Vacuum Sweeper (which is slightly more expensive) to maintain.  At this time, 2019 only has some anticipated equipment needed for the development of TCAAP and 2020 has nothing. As the timeframe and maintenance responsibilities for TCAAP infrastructure become clearer in the next few months, a much better estimate of future equipment needs for the out years of the CIP can and will be provided. If you have any questions about any of these items, please let me know.
