Consider Bids and Award of Contract for City Project 164, Distribution Control Station and Minneapolis Interconnection Pipeline. Motion by Councilmember Jacobsen, seconded by Councilmember Burg to accept all bids and adopt a Resolution awarding a contract for City Project 16-4, Distribution Control Station and Minneapolis Interconnection Pipeline (known as Contract Package 1) to the lowest responsible bidder, Municipal Builders, Inc., in the amount of $2,742,400.00. City Manager Lotter indicated Community Assets and Development Director Schlichting would be presenting this item to the Council. Community Assets and Development Director Schlichting explained the project (defined as Contract Package 1 in Barr Engineering's Work Order 2) consists of the construction of a Distribution Control Station (DCS), Minneapolis interconnection pipeline, and various site utility modifications. A temporary water supply system is also included, which will allow New Brighton to be interconnected to the Minneapolis water system by July 2016. The purpose of this design package is to provide readily available emergency backup water supply, provide enhanced functionality for water sourcing and disposal, clear the site to enable WTP1 expansion to proceed rapidly, and preserve WTP1 expansion space by constructing distribution control functions in a separate location (i.e., not within WTP 1). Community Assets and Development Director Schlichting reported the DCS will house piping, booster pumps, valves, a chemical feed room (for future use, if required), an electrical equipment room, and an air -gap tank. The DCS will enhance current functionality by allowing the City to choose its water source (WTP1 or Minneapolis) and where water will be sent (distribution and/or ground storage reservoir or air gap tank for storm or sanitary discharge). The current booster pumps that provide water to the high zone tower will also be relocated to this building. The interconnection pipeline will be tied into a Minneapolis 48 -inch steel watermain. A shut-off valve (manual) will be installed near this tie-in and will be operated by Minneapolis. From the tie-in, the pipe will route through Minneapolis and New Brighton property to the DCS. Community Assets and Development Director Schlichting stated due to the anticipated construction time required to substantially complete this DCS, a temporary water supply system will be constructed. A tee from the main interconnection pipeline will allow water to be directed into WTP1 where temporary water supply pumps (pre -purchased by the City) will be installed. Water discharged from these pumps will tie into New Brighton's existing distribution system. The purpose of this temporary system is to allow the City to obtain water from Minneapolis 3. Consider Bids and Award of Contact for City Pmject 16-4, Distribution Control Station and Minneapolis Interconnection Pipeline.
