<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JULY 26, 1999 <br /> <br /> <br />14 <br /> <br />MOTION: <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Malone seconded a <br />motion to approve Pay Estimate #3 (Final Payment) for Infrastructure <br />Technologies, Inc. of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota in the amount of $30,360.90. <br />The motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />F. Residential Water Meter Project, Award of Bid <br /> <br />Mr. Stafford eXplained that the City Council had been aware of the need to replace most of the <br />City's residential water meters as they are beyond their life expectancy. At the April 19, 1999, <br />Council Worksession, the Public Works Director explained the different types of meters, <br />specifically reading technology, which are available. The Council then authorized the Director to <br />proceed with necessary steps for replacing the residential water meters with radio-read meters at <br />an estimated cost of up to $570,000. <br /> <br />At the May 24,1999 City Council meeting, the Public Works Director asked the Council to <br />consider adding an alternate to the residential meter replacement Request for Proposals whereby <br />the meter installers would also do a visual inspection of sump pump discharge connections. Staff <br />believes that a large number of residential sump pump discharges may be illegally connected to <br />the City's sewer system, adding clean ground water to the sewer system. The City Council <br />agreed to add the alternate to the Request for Proposals. Costs for the inspection alternate were <br />estimated to add $23,500 to the meter replacement project. Mr. Stafford indicated that this <br />inspection work is not unique and has been done by other local communities. <br /> <br />The Public Works Director drafted specifications for the Base Bid which included replacement of <br />all the residential meters ten years old or older and upgrading the newer meters with radio-read <br />transponders, compatible with the City's industrial/commercial radio-read equipment. This bid <br />covered only the area south of the Sault Saint Marie railroad tracks, which includes <br />approximately 1,000 residences. This work is to be accomplished in 1999-2000. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />As Alternate A, the bid also included the same replacement specifications as the Base Bid, <br />except it covered the remaining portion of Arden Hills laying north of the Sault Saint Marie <br />tracks, consisting of approximately 1,350 residences. This work would be accomplished in <br />2000-2001. <br /> <br />As Alternate B, the bid included a sump pump discharge inspection, including filling out a form <br />provided by the City, documenting the inspection and findings. Mr. Stafford stated that this <br />work would save the City a significant amount of money and information must be provided to <br />the residents explaining the importance of this work and why this work will be good for the <br />entire City. <br /> <br />The City of Arden Hills advertised a Request for Proposal and sent letters requesting proposals to <br />the three major water meter vendors in the area. The proposals, with bids, were due and opened <br />on Friday, June 10, 1999. All three local vendors attended the bid opening, however, only two <br />vendors submitted proposals and bids. <br /> <br />e <br />
