CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br />I MEMORANDUM <br />I DATE: February 29, 1996 <br /> TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator 0; <br />I FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent <br />I SUBJECT: Installation of unfinished \Vatcrmain on Old Highway 10 <br /> Backg-round <br />I One segment of water main on Old Highway 10 has never been constructed. This is in the area <br /> south of Highway 96 running along the west shoulder to just north of Wedgewood Circle. This <br />I segment, would complete a natural loop of the entire Round Lake area and provide water service <br /> to the adjacent property, plus it would make a simple task of isolating this area from the areas <br /> east of the freeway (New and Old Highway 10). Enclosed is a drawing of the referenced area. <br />I Old Hi!!hwav 10 Overlav <br /> As discussed in previous memos, the Ramsey County Public Works Department plans to overlay <br />Ie Old Highway 10 between County Road F and Highway 96 this coming summer. Being <br /> considered are paved shoulders and a trail on the western shoulder of the Old Highway. The <br /> replacement of the six (6) inch watermain between County Road F and Valentine earlier <br />I identified as needing replacement, is also being considered. This watermain would lay under the <br /> new shoulders. <br />I Recommendation <br /> Staff recommends consideration by Council to complete the unfinished segment of a 12 inch <br /> watermain and install six (6) hydrants and residential service lines to the approximately 20 <br />I homes along this segment. <br />I Costs <br /> Staff has estimated the costs of this 12 inch line, including 20 house services, six (6) fire <br /> hydrants and necessary fittings and valves to be $76,500. This includes $58,500 for materials <br />I and $18,000 for labor and equipment. <br /> If the main line was reduced to eight (8) inches, a savings of $15,000 would be made to bring the <br />I total cost down to an estimated $61,500. Staff feels an eight (8) inch line would be adequate, <br /> however, they have not discussed this project with the City Engineer. Engineering costs have not <br /> been included in staffs estimate. <br />I <br />~ <br />I <br />
