5. PROJECT STATUS REPORTS Beltline Outlet Structure Improvements Brad Lindaman stated that the contractor is on schedule and should meet the contract deadline for substantial completion. The Board packet report discusses two issues that may require some additional staff attention: (1) sediment removal issues resulting from dewatering pump discharges into wetland, and. (2) concerns expressed by the contractor relating to soils information that may conflict with what was encountered on the site. CIP Maintenance/Repairs 2002 Brad distributed a tabulation of five bids received at today's bid opening. Jay Bros. is the apparent low bidder at $332,701.75; however, Line 1.04F, Site 2F, of the bid form was left blank. Tracey Galowitz advised the Board that the District has the option to reject nonconforming bids. The Board can also chose not to reject the bid and instead add a clause to the agreement with the contractor, in which the parties acknowledge that in order for this to be a conformingPbid, blank items shall be deemed a zero unit price. Brad also stated that the omission is not considered an unbalanced bid. Motion: Bob Johnson moved; Jack Frost seconded, to accept the apparent low bid of $332,701.75 as submitted by Jay Bros, Inc., for the CIP MaintenancelRepair 2002 project, with the express stipulation that if Jay Bros. does not honor Line Item 1.04F, Site 2F, as a zero unit price, then the Board will accept the second lowest bid of $347,353 as submitted by F. F. Jedlicki. Motion carried. Tanners Lake Alum System Water Quality Monitoring Staff is working on a draft work scope, schedule, and budget for the follow-up evaluation program, which is also a requirement for renewal of the District's MPCA permit. Pam Skinner expressed her interest in collecting new downstream biomonitoring data as part of this follow up study, using the same methodology as was used for the initial study. Cliff Aichinger stated that biomonitoring is not one of the follow-up study requirements; however, Bill Bartodziej has chosen this site to add to his own biomonitoring program for this year. 6. PRESENTATION BY ERIN ANDERSON- = PALEN CHAIN OF LAKES SLMP SCOPE AND SCHEDULE Erin Anderson discussed the highlights of her 12/27/01 memo, which describes the three-year scope of the Phalen Chain of Lakes Modeling Update Project. Major goals include (1) the update of water quality models, (2) the creation of management plans for each lake, and (3) providing a tool to evaluate future nutrient loads. Tasks are broken down as follows: Task 1, Conduct Field Survey of All Ponds and Wetland Areas within Each Lake's Subwatershed: Data collection tasks are discussed by Rob Langer in further detail below. Task 2, Pond Data Analysis/Formatting: Create and calibrate models of each lake's watershed. Task 3, Conduct Inflow Data Collection Programs for Each Lake: Create and calibrate in-lake models. Task 4, Conduct In-Lake Water Quality Data Collection Program for Each Lake: Use the models to evaluate the lake and its watershed. Recommended sampling frequency is 10 times, compared to 7 times a year as normally done by Ramsey County. Task 5, Conduct Precipitation Data Collection. Task 6, Conduct Lake Level Data Collection. Task 7, Aquatic Plant and Shoreline Condition Survey.. Task 8, P8 Modeling of Each Lake's Subwatershed. Task 9, Calibration of the P8 Models. Task 10, In-Lake Modeling of Each Lake's Water Quality.
