MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 24, 2016
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Sue Iverson, Acting City Administrator
FROM: Sue Polka, Interim Assistant Public Works Director/City Engineer
SUBJECT: Metropolitan Grant Agreement for Sanitary Sewer Lining Project
Requested Action
Adopt Resolution 2016-033 approving a Grant Agreement between the City and the
Metropolitan Council and authorize the Interim City Administrator to execute the Grant
Agreement.
Background
In April of 2015, the City approved a contract with Hydro-Klean for the 2015 Sanitary Sewer
Lining Project in the amount of $507,465.50. The project was initiated in response to surcharges
by Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) for exceeding the maximum sanitary
sewer allowed from various meter sheds due to inflow/infiltration into the sanitary sewer system.
The City applied for the 2014 MCES Municipal Grant Program for reimbursement for a
percentage of the construction cost for the Sanitary Sewer Lining Project and was notified of
approval to participate in the program.
Discussion
The next step in the Grant Program process is to submit final construction cost information and
along with a resolution authorizing the City to enter into a Grant Agreement for the final
reimbursement. While the final amount is not known at this time, the initial estimate is
$37,295.31.
