RE: COUNTY ROAD F RECONSTRUCTION
I Dear Council Members:
I As directed by the City Council, we have prepared the attached Feasibility Study for the
reconstruction of County Road F between Interstate Highway 35W and Old Trunk Highway
#10. The Study discusses in detail the proposed reconstruction of this segment of roadway
I to an Urban Standard, including new stonn drainage facilities and the potential replacement
CIVil ENGINEERING of existing watennain along the route. Funding sources available for this project include
.VIRONMENTAL Ramsey County Tumback Funds, assessments to benefitted properties, Municipal State Aid
I iJNICiPAl Construction Funds, Surface Water Management Funds, and Water Department Funding.
PLANNING
I SOLlDWA$TE If the City Council desires to move forward with this project, timing is very critical. This
STRliCTURAL is due to the fact that a major traffic generator for County Road F is the Mounds View
SURVEYING High School. The Feasibility Study lays out a project schedule, which would allow
I TRAFfiC construction to begin immediately after the 1994/1995 school year ends, and have the
T~ANSPORTATION roadway substantially complete, prior to the beginning of the 1995/1996 school year.
I E~EC:RICAliMECHANiCAL In order to proceed with this project on this schedule, the City Council needs to consider
:t\GiNEERING three actions at your January 9, 1995, City Council meeting. The first action would be to
HVAC consider the attached Resolution adopting the Feasibility Study, and authorizing the public
I ;OWERDISTRIWT!ON hearing. We have recommended a February 27, 1995, public hearing date. The second
SODA action would be to consider the attached Resolution authorizing the preparation of plans and
SYSTEM CON'ROlS specifications. In order to have the project ready to begin construction by late Mayor early
I June of 1995, it will be necessary to immediately begin work on the plans and
specifications. This will also allow detailed infonnation to be available at the time of the
I public hearing. A third action the City Council should consider is the attached Resolution,
which designates County Road F as a route on the City's Municipal State Aid System. In
accordance with the State Legislation recently passed, allowing the Ramsey County
I Turnback Program to proceed, the City is allowed to place these turnback roadways on
their Municipal State Aid System, above and beyond normal mileage that they are allowed.
.ICESIN: This will provide the City the opportunity to utilize Municipal State Aid Construction
Funds as a funding source for these improvements.

Mr, Daniel A. Winkel
, Public Works Superintendent
City of Arden Hills
1450 West Highway 96
, Arden Hills, MN 55112-5794
, Dear Mr. Winkel:
The purpose of this correspondence is to fonnally request permission from the City of Arden Hills
, to connect sanitary sewer and water services to the City's utility systems that will serve the Minnesota
Anny National Guard (MNARNG) Combined Operations and Maintenance Facility (COMF) located
, on what is now the Twin Cities Anny Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) site,
The MNARNG COJIAF is currently served by a sewer and water system that is operated by TCAAP
,. and its designated managers, The MNARNG was advised by TCAAP officials that they could not
rely on the availability of sewer and/or water services at TCAAP or be assured of what the cost of
those services might be in the future due to the declining utilization of buildings located on the
I TCAAP site.
In September, 1993 MelchertlBlock Associates Inc. (MBA) prepared a study for MNARt'fG which
, described a possible connection to the City of Arden Hills utility system, In the preparation of the
study engineers from MEA communicated with the City of Arden Hills officials and their consulting
engineers as well as other State and County representatives,
, In October, 1994 MNARNG commissioned MEA to prepare final construction documents that would
accomplish the utility connection to the City of Arden Hills,
, The impact of adding the MNARNG COMF to the City utility system will be minimal. For the past
three years the COJIAF has used an average ofJO,OOO gallons of water per month. Based on a five
, day per week, eight hour per day operation the average daily contribution to the sanitary sewer
system will be 1400 gallons, The average flow rate will be less than 3 gallons per minute,
, The wastewater generated by the COJIAF will be pumped via a four (4) inch diameter forcemain to
an existing Arden Hills manhole, The new lift station will be designed to completely evacuate the
, capacity of the four (4) inch diameter forcemain during each pumping cycle. The pumping rate will
be 125 to ] 50 gpm which will generate a velocity of3 to 4 fps, If the forcemain is connected to the
,. nearest City of Arden Hills manhole, the COJIAF wastewater will then flow to a City lift station which
will pump the wastewater via an existing six (6) inch forcemain to a manhole approximately 400 feet

. south of the COMF connection manhole. This connection scenario would be the least expensive
alternative for the MNARNG and is therefore the preferred connection,
. The proposed water connection is located in the SW Quadrant ofHamline and 96. A ten (10) inch
watermain would be installed to serve the COMF,
. As a part of this formal request there are three drawings which show the proposed service
connections to The City of Arden Hills utility systems. The sewer connection includes option A and
B, Option A, the preferred option, requires repumping of the COMF wastewater. Option B
. discharges to a manhole which is the beginning of a gravity system.
Based on a meeting held on December 20, 1994 at the TCAAP which was attended by representatives
. of MNARNG, MBA, The City of Arden Hills and Ramsey County there are plans for future
development of City and/or County facilities north of Highway 96, The City and County may, in
conjunction with the MNARNG project, want to oversize utility services to serve more than just the
. COMF, The MNARNG will cooperate in a joint project whereby the City and/or County would pay
for the oversizing of services. The cost of oversizing could be established through the bidding
.. process,
It is the MNARNG's desire to complete the connection to the City of Arden Hills utility systems by
. July 1, 1995. It is therefore necessary for the City/County to provide sufficient information to the
MNARNG's consultant, MBA, so that alternative designs can be completed and bidding documents
can be prepared.
. Very truly yours,
.

. SUBJECT : Request by the Anny National Guard Reserve to COImeCt to
Arden Hills sanitary sewer and water systems
. Staff has received a request fran the Army National Guard Reserve for
permission to connect to the Arden Hills sanitary sewer and water
. systems. The pro[X)sed connections are in the area of Hamline Ave. and
Highway 96. During this past week staff has also received a revised
set of pro[X)sed plans and specifications that are currently under
. review.
.. Staff has identified a number of issues that need further review prior
to a final re[X)rt to Council. The issues are as follows:
. Staff is discussing a connection agreement with City Atto:rney
. Filla that will be presented to the National Guard Reserve for
approval. The agreement should include future ownership and
. rraintenance reS[X)nsibilities.
. The pro[X)sed plans indicate that only one jacking would be done
. under Highway 96, and that l::oth the sewer and water pipes be
installed in one 30 inch casing. Staff proposes that two
jackings be done, one each for sewer and water.
. . The current pro[X)sal shows a 10 inch water main extended to the
National Guard facility. Staff reccmnends that a 12 inch water
. rrain be used. This will naximize the amount of available water
to the site.
. . The proposal also has two options for the sanitary sewer
connection. The National Guard prefers option "A" which would
. require the sewage to flow into a City lift station in the Karth
Lake area. Staff prefers Option "B" that empties the sewage
directly into a gravity flow ID3I1hole, and will not need
.. additional pumping.
.

I. . Staff is also reviewing the proposed lift station and' force main
I sizes. In order to maximize the arrount of sewage that could be
discharged frcrn the TCAAP property, l::oth the lift station and
I force sizes could be increased.
. An alternate sewer discharge site is also being reviewed. There
I are manholes available at Old Snelling and Highway 96 that may
be capable of handling higher flow rates.
I Although, staff is not prepared to make a final report at this time,
it appears that the sewer and water connections are feasible and could
I be corrpleted if Council approves this request.
Staff recorrmends that the concept of the sanitary sewer and water
I connections be approved subj ect to a final report outlining the
outcc:me of the issues listed alxlve.

. SUBJECT: Report Titled "Investigative Study of Utilities Serving the Minnesota Army
National Guard Combined Organizational Maintenance Facility of the Twin
. Cities Army Ammunition Plant in Arden Hills, MN" , MelchertlBlock
Associates, September 1993
. DATE: January 3, 1995
FILE: 520-053-11
. Melchert/Block Associates (MEA) investigated the following utilities currently being provided
.. by the U.S. Army:
. Potable Water
. Sewage Disposal
. . Refuse Disposal
. Fire Protection
. . Plant Security
. Roads and Grounds Maintenance
. Telephone
. This review of the MBA report has been limited to the following utilities because MBA
proposes that these utilities be furnished by the City of Arden Hills:
. . Potable Water
. Sewage Disposal
. . Fire Protection
. It should be noted that Arden Hills' only responsibility for fire protection is to provide fire
flow to the National Guard facilities. The responsibility to fight a fire on the site rests with the
Lake Johanna Fire Department.
. A summary of review comments follows:
.. C. WATER AND SEWER SERVICE, PAGE 8 (Bottom)
Since the MBA report was written in September of 1993, a new interceptor sewer to serve
. TCAAP has been put into operation. The new interceptor sewer is approximately 3,500 linear
520/053~06Jan
I. I
I. feet long and conveys wastewater from TCAAP to a City of Mounds View sewer running
I westerly along County Road H.
PAGE 13 (Bottom)
I See the above comment.
I PAGE 14
I The statement is made, "An existing 12-inch diameter watennain would be extended across
Highway 96 and Hamline Avenue and then into the COMF site. The size of the watennain
and pressure in the city system would provide adequate fire flow at the hydrant located on the
. COMF site."
Documentation of the required fire flow should be provided. Also, an estimate of the flow
I that can be provided by a single hydrant at the end of a long 12" 0'/10" 0' dead-end should be
provided. Unless the buildings have fire sprinkler systems, I have reservations that a long
12" 0'/10" 0' dead-end can provide the required fire flow through a single hydrant.
I From past experience with the Lake Johanna Fire Department, it is doubtful that they will be
.. willing to accept a single hydrant. However, the number and placing of hydrants is beyond
the scope of this review and should be coordinated with them.
. If fire sprinkler systems exist in the three buildings, the required fire flow will be greatly
reduced. Under this scenario, a 12" 0/10" 0' dead-end may be adequate to provide the
required fire flow.
I FlGURE 5 (Follows Page 14)
I The 4" 10 forcemain is shown to discharge to Arden Hills Manhole #12. This will result in the
National Guard flow being routed to an existing lift station in the northeast portion of Arden
Hills. The lift station is reportedly near capacity. To avoid capacity problems with this lift
. station and to avoid having to pump the National Guard flow, the forcemain should be
extended further south along Hamline Avenue. This would result in the National Guard flow
being discharged to an existing gravity sewer that runs to the south. Pumping and capacity
I problems would be avoided with this approach.
. The proposed 4" 10 forcemain and 12" 10 watennain are shown in a single 30" 0' casing across
Minnesota Trunk Highway 96. This proposed construction violates Minnesota Department of
Health (MDB) requirements for separation distance between a sanitary sewer and a watennain.
. Even if the MDH should grant a variance, the proposed construction would make future
replacement of either line difficult. Separate casings should be required.
.. The proposed lift station location likely results in the least cost to the National Guard.
However, it is a poor location if other property is to be served by the lift station. Also, the
proposed location is a poor location if Arden Hills is to maintain it because it is on TCAAP
I property.

I. COST ESTIMATE (Page 16)
I The cost estimate includes construction and engineering costs. It does not include either
hookup charges or trunk water and sewer charges. On page I of the report, it is stated, "Two
I parcels ofland totalling 28.7 acres make up the COMP site." I am not familiar with Arden
Hills' development policies. However, if Arden Hills levies trunk sewer and water charges on
I an acreage basis, these charges could be substantial. MBA should contact Arden Hills to
detennine if hookup or trunk water and sewer charges will be levied. If so, MBA should
make the National Guard aware of these charges.

I SUBJECT: Preliminary Plans Titled "Minnesota Army National Guard, Utility System
Conversion, New Brighton, MN", Melchert/Block Associates, (MBA)
December 1994
. DATE: January 3, 1995
. FILE: 520-053-11
This review of the preliminary plans is based on the assumption that the City of Arden Hills
. will assume ownership of the sanitary and water facilities after they have been constructed.
Review comments will be presented on a sheet-by-sheet basis followed by a general overview.
.. SHEET NO.1
1. The note "Connect New 10" Watermain to Existing 6" Water Line" is in error.
I
2. The 4" 0 forcemain and 10" 0 watermain are shown in a single 30" 0 casing.
. Replacement of either of these lines in the future will be difficult. Separate casings or
a larger single casing (assuming that the Minnesota Department of Health will approve)
should be provided.
. 3. The proposed alignment for the 30" 0 casing will have a major impact on the Hamline
Avenue/Minnesota Trunk Highway 96 intersection during construction. Alternative
. alignments to permit crossing of MTH 96 either east or west of the intersection should
be evaluated.
. 4. A 10" 0 watermain is proposed. I have serious reservations that a long 10" 0 dead-
end can provide the required fire flow unless the National Guard buildings have fire
. sprinkler systems.
SHEET NO.2
. 1. The proposed lift station location is a poor location for Arden Hills to provide future
.. maintenance. A better location would be in the Hamline Avenue right-of-way or just
off the right-of-way. Under this scenario, a gravity line would be extended from the
proposed lift station location out to Hamline Avenue. That portion of the gravity line
off City right-of-way should remain the property of the National Guard and be treated
. as a long sewer service.
520/0534.105 .jan
I . .
I. 2. On a similar note, the 10. fZJ watermain, once it leaves City right-of-way, should
I remain the property of the National Guard and be treated as any other water service.
3. Only one (1) existing hydrant is shown. No additional hydrants or branch runs are
I shown. Even if the buildings are equipped with fire sprinkler systems, I doubt that the
Lake Johanna Fire Department will find this acceptable. If the buildings do not have
I fire sprinkler systems, the situation is even that much more unacceptable. MBA needs
to coordinate this aspect of proposed construction with the fire department.
I GENERAL OVERVIEW
1. The proposed water and sewer extension to the National Guard buildings provides the
. City of Arden Hills with the opportunity for over-sizing for the future redevelopment
of the TCAAP property. The City of Arden Hills should carefully consider this.
I 2. Crossing MTH 96 in the intersection of Hamline A venue and MTH 96 should be
avoided. A crossing east of the intersection appears feasible.
