Item 8 City Engineer Keith Nelson requested Council approval of a Cost Sharing and Construction Cooperation Agreement for the Flagstaff Avenue interceptor. He explained that the City of Farmington originally proposed to construct a sanitary sewer line in Farmington: along flagstaff Avenue to serve the new high school and surrounding area. Sewer service through Farmington did not have adequate capacity to serve Lakeville's Farmington Outlet Sewer District; therefore, a lift station and force main would need to be constructed near Cedar Avenue and l 98t" Street in • order to serve this area, resulting in a $2.9 million cost to Lakeville. The proposed Cost Sharing and Construction Cooperation Agreement CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING ..MAY 21, 2007 PAGE 4 presents an opportunity for both Lakeville and Farmington to work with the Metropolitan Council to construct an interceptor sanitary sewer that would serve both communities. Mr. Nelson stated- the Metropolitan Council has agreed to fund one-third of the project cost. The total estimated project cost is $5.8 million. The City of Farmington would design and construct the sanitary sewer. Farmington would be responsible for 41 ~ of the project cost, and Lakeville would pay 26% (approximately $1.6 million). In addition, the Metropolitan Council will take ownership of the pipe following construction and assume all maintenance at no cost to the cities. Mr. Nelson explained that the proposed realignment of the sanitary sewer service through Farmington is cost effective in that it is almost half the'cost of constructing a lift station. The City of Lakeville would be required to reimburse the City of Farmington $1.6 million within 45 days of project completion. The project is anticipated to be completed in early 2008. Mr. Mielke pointed out that the Metropolitan Council will also assume all .long-term maintenance costs and replacement of the pipe, which is a significant cost savings to the City. Council Member Wulff. pointed out that this action does not change the development plans for the area. Mr. Mielke explained that based on the City's comprehensive plan, this .land will not be available for development until some time around the year 2020. The pipe is being put in early because of the development that is taking place in Farmington and -does not change the development plans for Lakeville. 07.43 Motion was made and seconded to approve a Cost Sharing and Construction Cooperative Agreement between the. Metropolitan Council, City of Lakeville and City of Farmington for the Flagstaff Avenue Interceptor, Improvement Project 07-06. Roll call was taken on the motion.. Ayes, unanimous.
