Public Works Director / City Engineer <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Proposed Booster Station (TCAAP) <br /> <br /> Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: <br /> $0 $1,500,000 Water Availability Charge ($250,000 is Engineering Services) <br /> <br />Council Should Consider <br /> <br />Council should consider initiating design of plans and specification for the proposed booster <br />station needed for the TCAAP development. <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />Ramsey County has moved forward with a project to complete plans and specifications for <br />construction of Spine Road through the TCAAP property/Rice Creek Commons Redevelopment <br />Site (RCC). Kimley Horn, with Bolton & Menk as a sub-consultant, was contracted to complete <br />these plans and specifications and all associated tasks necessary to provide a biddable contract <br />documents plan set. One of the tasks in the scope of work requires updating the 2015 Preliminary <br />Design Report for the sanitary sewer and potable water systems. <br /> <br />The full Rice Creek Commons Water Distribution System Modeling Results Update can be <br />reviewed in Attachment A. This discussion is focusing on the proposed booster station related to <br />the potable water system. On page 11 of the updated report, under Infrastructure Phasing, it <br />states: β€œIt is recommended that the proposed west booster station be constructed at the same <br />time as the Spine Road project, therefore design should occur simultaneously with the Spine <br />Road design. The west booster station would provide a redundant supply route for the north <br />pressure zone and proposed TCAAP/RCC site. This is considered crucial in the event the existing <br />east booster station malfunctions or experiences a watermain break that would prevent it from <br />being able to supply the north pressure zone.” <br />
