Project Understanding
The City of Lakeville currently operates Lift Station No.
6 (LS06) along Orchard Trail, within the City’s Lake
Marion Sanitary Sewer District. The station is a wet well/
dry well station with three pumps and a firm capacity of
1150 gpm, according to the City’s Comprehensive Sanitary
Sewer Plan. As-builts for the station suggest that it was
originally constructed in 1975. The sewershed contributing
to LS06 consists primarily of residential developments,
however there is a larger commercial/retail area northeast
of the I-35/CSAH 60 interchange that is also served by the
station and is expected to generate an increase in future
flows.
LS06 shares its
site with a wooden
fence/shed that
houses the lift
station controls and
backup generator.
Adjacent to the site is a small City parcel that is currently
maintained as an informal neighborhood gathering area by
local residents.
The City is interested in replacing Lift Station No. 6 with
a new submersible lift station and has included it as a 2016
construction project in its current Capital Improvement
Plan. The CIP budget for the project is $720,000. Some
specific issues that have been identified relative to this
project, which are expected to be addressed with the new
designs, include:
•Current and future influent from local restaurants
and cafeterias is expected to introduce grease to the
lift station, requiring the integration of a mixer into
the station. The old Best Buy site, in particular, has
potential for future school district/cafeteria uses.
•Additional sound attenuation measures should be
implemented with a new natural gas generator in order
to reduce noise issues relative to the existing generator.
•Elevations of the new station (particularly manhole rim
elevations) should be set to accommodate highwater
elevations of an adjacent wetland, as recorded by the
City and DNR.
•An off-street parking pad should be included in the site
design to accommodate a vac truck which routinely
maintains the lift station.
•The site design should be compatible with adjacent
road improvements along Orchard Trail, which will be
designed concurrently by a separate consultant.
•Professional landscaping and screening of the lift
station and its components should be incorporated
into the site design, in respect for the local residential
neighborhood.
•The project schedule should facilitate early
construction of the lift station in order to minimize
the potential for heavy construction traffic on the new
adjacent roadway, which is scheduled for Fall 2016
construction.
The City of Lakeville intends to retain a consultant
to assist with the design, bidding, and construction
administration of the LS06 replacement project, as
described above.
Project Approach
Task 1 - Preliminary Engineering Design
The preliminary engineering phase will start with a project
kick-off meeting. This meeting is a time for our project
team to meet with City staff and become familiar with the
City of Lakeville’s vision for this project. This meeting
is a chance to collect any data necessary for proceeding
with the Preliminary Engineering phase. We would request
any as-builts, survey information, control and SCADA
information and flow data for the lift station.
Task 1.1 - Site Survey and Base Mapping. Bolton & Menk will
complete a topographic survey of the existing lift station
site, including the adjacent open green area. The survey
will include all visible features, such as but not limited
to, pavements, curb lines, manholes, catch basins, valves,
sidewalks, turf areas, driveways, power poles, trees,
gardens, mailboxes, retaining walls, etc. All underground
utility information will be located and described per
available as-builts, field markings, and private utility map
information. Manhole reports will also be completed for
located manholes and catch basins. Right-of-way will be
illustrated based on found field monumentation and plat
information.
A formal wetland delineation will also be completed along
the adjacent edge of the pond immediately north of the
site. The delineation will be formalized in a written report
for submittal to the LGU.
Lift Station No. 6 Rehabilitation | City of Lakeville, Minnesota 2Submitted by Bolton & Menk, Inc.
Task 1.2 - Lift Station Design Considerations. In this task we will
evaluate the various design considerations for the new
lift station. Design considerations include the location
of the station, current and ultimate design flow and site
improvements for a more functional lift station site. A
review of the permits required will be completed in this
phase. Since this is a replacement of an existing lift station,
permits from the MPCA and Met Council may not be
required. These and other items will be discussed and
summarized in a report for the City.
Task 1.3 - Coordinate Soil Borings. We will assist the City in
determining where soil boring(s) should be placed and
the required depth. We will provide the City with a figure
showing the proposed location(s) for the soil boring(s).
The City will coordinate the completion of the work
with its preferred geotechnical consultant and pay the
geotechnical consultant directly.
Task 1.4 - Develop Preliminary Cost Estimate. Based on the various
design considerations, soil boring information and the
available site for the new lift station we will develop a
preliminary cost estimate.
Task 1.5 - Meeting with City Staff. We will meet with City staff
to review the lift station design considerations and the cost
estimate. Recommendations from this meeting will allow
us to proceed into the final design phase.
Deliverables for Task 1: Final site survey in AutoCAD for use
in lift station and site design; Wetland delineation report;
Report on design considerations and cost estimate.
Task 2 - Final Design and Bidding
The Final Design and Bidding phase will take the
recommendations from the Preliminary Design phase
and incorporate those into the final design and bidding
documents. Following are the key tasks for this phase:
Task 2.1 - Design and Plan Preparation. The final design for the
lift station will occur in this task and will include final
design of the pumps, the structure size, location, piping
configuration, electrical, and controls.
Site design for the project is important from both a
functional and aesthetic perspective. Site grades will
be compatible with new street grades proposed along
Orchard Trail, as well as accommodate lift station surface
elevations above known local highwater elevations. We
will work with the City’s road design engineer to facilitate
these coordination efforts. We will also configure the site
to work functionally with maintenance vehicles, and will
integrate appropriate landscaping and screening to the
benefit of neighboring residential properties. In general,
we envision the site layout and landscaping design process
to be straightforward, but iterative with City staff in order
to accomplish the functional and aesthetic goals of the
project. Our services will include a Landscape Architect
who will meet with the City at the outset of the project to
initiate site concepts.
Task 2.2 - Prepare Project Specifications and Bid Documents.
Specifications will include required City standard
documents. Bid documents will contain requirements
that prospective bidders must have experience in the
construction of sanitary sewer lift stations.
Task 2.3 - Develop Cost Estimate. The cost estimate from the
preliminary design phase will be updated to incorporate
the final design. The cost estimate will be provided to the
City for review.
Task 2.4 - Provide Bid Support Services. Bolton & Menk will
provide bid support services consisting of answering
bidders questions and issuing addenda as needed. Bolton
& Menk will upload the bidding documents to QuestCDN
and also advertise the project in Finance & Commerce.
We will assist the City in submitting the advertisement for
bids to the City’s local paper. The project will be listed on
the Bolton & Menk website. Bolton & Menk will conduct
a pre-bid meeting for the project and distribute meeting
minutes to all planholders.
Task 2.5 – Bidding Assistance. Bolton & Menk will attend the
bid opening, compile the bids, prepare a bid tabulation,
and provide a recommendation for awarding the project.
Deliverables for Task 2: Final plans and specifications; final
cost estimate; bid tabulation and bid recommendation.
Lift Station No. 6 Rehabilitation | City of Lakeville, Minnesota 3Submitted by Bolton & Menk, Inc.
Task 3 - Construction Administration and Observation
Bolton & Menk will administer the construction contract
and provide construction related services as noted below.
Task 3.1 - Manage Construction Meetings. Bolton & Menk will
prepare necessary agendas and minutes for all meetings.
A preconstruction meeting will be conducted before
construction starts. Likely, no progress meetings during
construction will be needed as it is anticipated that
construction will take less than one month. However,
Bolton & Menk will organize and conduct any meetings if
they are required.
Task 3.2 - Review Shop Drawings. Bolton & Menk will review
and approve all shop drawings. The major shop drawings
will be for pumps, mixer, piping, valves, structures,
electrical, and controls. Bolton & Menk will provide the
City with final copies of the shop drawings for the City’s
records.
Task 3.3 – Construction Administration. Bolton & Menk will
provide construction observation services for all critical
aspects of the lift station construction. Observation will be
conducted for excavation, placement of structures, pumps,
electrical and controls, and for removal of the existing lift
station. Necessary construction staking for the lift station
will also be completed.
Task 3.4 - Coordinate Geotechnical Services. Bolton & Menk will
coordinate any geotechnical services required for the
construction phase, based on the geotechnical consultant
selected in the preliminary design phase. It is anticipated
that only soils compaction testing will be required during
the construction phase.
Task 3.5 - Process Pay Requests. Bolton & Menk will review
pay requests and provide a recommendation to the City
for payment. Due to the relatively short construction
time period, it is anticipated that no more than three pay
requests will be processed for this project.
Task 3.6 - Preparation of O&M Manuals and Record Drawings.
Bolton & Menk will review manufacturer Operation
& Maintenance manuals for completeness, and, once
approved, submit the final O&M manuals to the City.
Record drawings will be prepared and based on the actual
construction for the lift station.
Task 3.7 - Coordinate Start-Up Services. Bolton & Menk will
work with the contractor to coordinate the start-up of the
lift station. This will include start-up of the pumps and the
controls system.
Deliverables for Task 3: Final copies of shop drawings; pay
requests; O&M manuals; record drawings.
Assumptions
Bolton & Menk has made the following assumptions
regarding the Lift Station #6 project:
•The City will contract directly with the project’s
geotechnical engineer.
•The City’s preferred equipment manufacturers are:
°KSB – pumps
°Quality Control & Integration – SCADA
°CAT, Cummings – generators
•Sound reduction, relative to the existing generator
operations will be integrated; however, MPCA noise
area classifications are not expected to be met.
•The adjacent Orchard Trail street section will not have
curb and gutter.
