SURVEYORS' LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS I <br /> November 307 1995 RECEIVED -'-' ,.. <br /> Mr. Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator DEe 04 1995 <br /> Arden Hills City Hall I <br /> l'.~~ 1450 West Highway 96 Olr tit AKDEH HILLS <br /> Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br /> .' Subject: Sewer and Water Connections for the Combined Organizational Maintenance Facility I <br /> Dear Mr. Fritsinger: I <br /> .. <br /> <-_. We are close to the completion of the subject project. thus making the National Guard sewer and <br /> water customers of the City of Arden Hills. During the planning stages of this project we worked . <br /> ..-.. with your staff and your consulting en~ to provide the most efficient routing of the utilities from <br /> the National Guard facility to the City. As part of this planning we were directed to oversize both <br /> . , utilities for future development of the City's servica area. The oversizing was accomplished the . <br /> fonowing way: <br /> . The sanitary sewer lift station wet well was lowered 11.5 feet and a section ofS" main was I <br /> stubbed out to the north. <br /> .C \I <br /> . .. <br /> ."', . The waterrnain size was increased from 10" DIP to 12" DIP. <br /> ,:;;::' <br /> .' <br /> Prior to the beginning of construction there was a meeting held during the early part ofJuly of this <br /> year to discuss the City's financial participation in the project due to the oversi2ing of the utilities. . <br /> At that time the City agreed to help pay for the construction of the lift station. However, your <br /> consulting engineer required MelchertlBlock to provide calculations proving the facility needed only I <br /> a 10. water servica. I have tried severn! times IDlSl',.,.,..m;tlly to obtain existing hydrant flow test from <br /> the City to make the calculations. The facility was serviced with a 10" watermain prior to the <br /> conversion. There is no reason to believe a 12" watermain is needed to serve the same fiu:ility. I <br /> Please find attached a letter addressed to you from the Owner dated July 3, 1995. <br /> - . <br /> One final item, during construction the Contractor was directed to install tracer wire along the 4" I <br /> forcemain by the City Inspector. This was done after the City En~ reviewed and MelchertlBlock <br /> made revisions to the contract documents that the City requested. Attached are the requested <br /> changes to the contract documents as prepared by MSA. The tracer wire services only as a I <br /> . maintenance tool for the City to identiRf the line and is not needed for a sewer service. The National <br /> Guard did not anticipate this expense and is asking the City to piclcup ~ cost. <br /> '. I <br /> ( I <br /> \I <br /> 367 EAST KELLOGG BOO. . ST. PAUL.
