Public Works maintenance staff provided feedback on the proposed design as shown in Attachment B. They suggested, due to plowing procedures, to switch the card reader access gate to the eastern driveway and the pivot gate is still desired due to concerns of snow buildup and how that would impact the gate opening effectively. The western gate would then be changed to a mechanical swing gate which would be an estimated cost savings of $3,000 so the Total Capital Cost Estimate would be $375,840. Project costs as proposed with Public Works feedback: Repair costs $ 201,695 Security improvement costs $ 111,500 Construction contigency* $ 62,639 Engineering costs $ 67,183 Total $ 443,017 Security improvements Public Works staff strongly recommends: • Perimeter fencing • Pivot gate with card reader • Mechanical swing gate • Person gate Security improvements Public Works deems as optional but were identified in the City's Water Risk and Resiliency Assessment: • Bollards • Lower level access hatch • Card reader at booster station • Card reader at water tower • Intrusion alarms on overhead bay doors Staff will be pursuing the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant program to assist in funding the selected security improvements. Applications are typically accepted late January/early February of each year. It is unknown at this time what security improvements will be accepted as eligible for reimbursement until the grant determination is received but any amount awarded would offset the cost to the utility fund. The most up to date cash balance projections for the water fund is below, should Council move forward with all of the recommend improvements the water fund is healthy enough for the almost $200,000 in additional costs, but additional rate adjustments may be needed in future years to sustain the fund. $3.0 $2.5 $2.0 $1.5 $1.0 $0.5 $0.0 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 Page 3 of 4
