Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 25, 2008 Page 19 southern United States and Canada, but not on a local or metropolitan level at this time. Mr. Schwartz further noted that staff had been working with several other metropolitan area cities to consider bidding projects together to improve the cost- effectiveness of an out-of--state contractor sending a crew to the area to rehabili- tate watermain in each of the participating cities. Mr. Schwartz identified those cities as Edina, Mimletonka, Eden Prairie, St. Paul and White Bear Township, with each city coordinating a project that would be bid concurrently but awarded individually. Given the complexity and newness of this technology, Mr. Schwartz advised that the cities had been working with TKDA Consulting Engineers as a group, with Roseville's anticipated cost for engineering services estimated at $17,400; and es- timated constnxetion costs at $200,000 to rehabilitate approximately 2,000 linear feet of watermain. Mr. Schwartz anticipated that, if this technology is used in the future, engineering could be provided by in-house engineering staff. Mr. Schwartz advised that each city would sign a professional services agreement with the consultant, for the preparation of plans, specifications and bid docu- ments, aswell as scheduling and coordination between the cities. Mr. Schwartz reviewed the identified segment of watermain between Woodhill Avenue and County Road C-2 between Churchill and Oxford Streets as a poten- tial candidate for mainlining, as it was located in backyards of homes and has a history of recent breaks with property damage. Mr. Schwartz noted that it would be difficult to replace the main by traditional open cut methods, and this method would be the least disruptive to property owners in time and physical disruption to their properties. Discussion included other areas in the City where watermains were located other than in the street or boulevard area. Pust moved, Roe seconded, authorizing a watermain lining rehabilitation project and authoring contracting with TKDA Consulting Engineers for design services for an estimated amount of $17,400.00, subject to City Attorney review and ap- proval.
