ITEM 8 City Engineer Keith Nelson presented the Preliminary Design Report and Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement for Engineering Services with Black & Veatch for final design of the Dakota Heights Water Treatment Plant, Improvement Project 94-2. He explained that in the 1993 Comprehensive Water Plan Update, the Dakota Heights water treatment plant was to originally R CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 18, 1995 PAGE 4 i have an 8 million gallon per day capacity and was to be under construction in ,1993!94. Construction of a second water treatment plant for 2 million gallons per day in the Fairfield Business Campus was proposed for 1997!98. Since construction of the Dakota Heights water treatment plant will not start until. 1996, and not be operational until 1997, Black & Veatch and City staff are ~ proposing that a 10 million gallon per day facility be built at Dakota Heights. The Fairfield waterareatmentp!ant would be delayed until the year 2005. Dave Carlson and Dan McCarthy of Black & Veatch presented the preliminary design report, which was prepared jointly by Progressive Consulting Engineers, Inc. {PCE), Black & Veatch, and Tushie Montgomery Associates, Inc. Naeem Qureshi of PCE and Gary Tushie of Tushie Montgomery were present to answer questions. Mr. Carlson presented preliminary design report elements as follows: • Pilot plant study • Space utilization. study • Filter evaluation • Electrical supply evaluation • SCADA System evaluation • HVAC evaluation • Geotechnical evaluation • Plant sizing and facilities development A model and architectural drawing of he treatment .plant facility was shown. Mr. McCarthy discussed the preliminary opinion of probable construction cost as follows: • .Utility Maintenance Facilities $ 2,630,000 • Water Treatment Facilities $10,350,000 • Ambulance Facility $ 20,000 • SCADA System $ .250,000 • Architecturelengineerng ervices $ .2,085,000 The total construction cost, with 5°~ inflation costs, is approximately $16,000,000.. Occupancy of the utility maintenance facility is expected to take place in the spring of 1997. The treatment plant facility is expected to be completed and operational by January of 1998. Mr. Erickson explained that funding for this project was made possible by the • City Council's decision to establish a water connection charge at a level that f CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 18, 1995 PAGE 5 would enable the City to have cash on hand to construct this facility without any increases in water rates. Mr. Erickson also explained that site selection was based on the recommendation of the well siting study, as well fields have to be constructed to supply water treatment facilities. It was felt by the consultants, staff and the City Council that this area would be least affected by any kind of future ground water contamination. He also stated that land for a `future treatment plant to augment his facility has already been set aside in Fairfield Business Campus. Mr. Erickson stated the treatment plant site will serve as an interim ambulance facility for a second 24-hour ALF ambulance. The ambulance will eventually be moved to a future fire station #4 on this site. Councilrnember Sindt pointed. out that the second 24-hour ambulance is scheduled to be in operation in the fall. of 1996. She asked where the ambulance will be housed in the interim. Mr. Erickson stated that Fire Station #1 will accommodate the ambulance until the maintenance facility portion of the treatment plant opens in the spring of 1997. • Councilmember Johnson asked staff to provide background for moving the public meeting space out of City Hall to the treatment plant. Mr. Erickson explained that a facility use analysis was completed this summer, and it was determined that a majority of people who use the City Hall north meeting room are from the north central part of Lakeville.. It was determined. that the meeting room should be moved to a more central location within the City. Also, the north meeting room at City Hall was established as an interim use until the space was needed for additional offices. Mayor Zaun stated that over the years, consumers have complained about poor water quality, particularly with regard to iron and manganese. This was reinforced by the response received from citizen surveys. The City Council, for many years, has discussed the need for a water treatment facility. Because of the City's considerable growth and development, a fiscal analysis was prepared, which resulted in the City £ouncil increasing connection charges to finance this.::facility, without increasing water rates. 95.167 Motion was made by Mulvihill, seconded by Sindt to receive the Water Treatment Plant and Utility Maintenance Facility Preliminary Design Report and approve Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement for Engineering Services with Black & Veatch for final design of the Dakota Heights Water Treatment Plant, Improvement Project 94-2.
