Roll Call Ayes: Laliberte; McGehee; Wilimus; Etten; and Roe. Nays: None. 8. Consider Items Removed from Consent d. Award Contract for 2014 Sanitary Sewer Lining At the request of Mayor Roe, City Manager Trudgeon provided a summary of the request as detailed in the Request for Council Action(RCA) dated March 3, 2014. Councilmember McGehee questioned if this project was for the purpose of lining mains and not connecting stubs; opining that often those stubs are the problem ar- eas for failures, and further opining that a better job could be done in protecting this investment if those areas were also lined. At the request of Mayor Roe, Public Works Director Duane Schwartz advised that those connections, known as service laterals, and private, were not currently included in the City's lining projects, as the technology was still maturing to ad- dress those connections points by lining them. Mr. Schwartz noted that the tech- nology for lining mains has matured well and had become more cost-effective, with costs less to line them than to dig them up. Mr. Schwartz agreed that often a failure was found in the connection point between the main and lateral. However, under current City of Roseville policy, the City is responsible for the main, and private property owners for the laterals. While technology does exist now to line the entire service or a few feet into the service line providing a water tight con- nection with the main, Mr. Schwartz advised that it would typically only be finan- cial feasible as part of a large scale project, done by an entirely different contrac- tor with different technologies, and currently costing between $3,000 and $5,000 per lateral lining application. Mr. Schwartz noted that the lining could be done any time after the service is installed. Mr. Schwartz further noted that the City's current twenty-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) was not funded to carry out such an extensive lining project as currently written. Mr. Schwartz advised that the discussion held at last week's Council meeting about ownership of private utilities in public rights-of-way addressed some of the issues currently being considered regarding laterals, but was not part of this re- quest.
