<br />\1 <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />December 10,1991 <br /> <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />Council Business, continued <br /> <br />City Engineer Les Proper presented bids for Granular Activated Carbon <br />(GAC) for the water treatment facility. <br /> <br />Calgon Carbon Corporation submitted the only bid to remove spent GAC <br />and install up to 520,000 Ibs. of virgin GAC. The $553,770 bid would <br />provide three change-outs which equal three years of operation. Calgon is <br />a large and reputable company and supplied the initial GAC supply. <br /> <br />Proper said that disposal problems for spent carbon, the high levels of <br />contaminates in our water and the EPA's processing requirements may <br />have discouraged other firms to enter bids. The Army will reimburse the <br />City for the carbon per the settlement agreement. Bid acceptance is <br />subject to receipt of environmental forms pertaining to spent GAC. <br /> <br />Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Larson, to APPROVE THE CALGON <br />CARBON CORPORATION BID FOR PROCUREMENT OF GRANULAR <br />ACTIVATED CARBON FOR THE NEW BRIGHTON WATER TREATMENT <br />FACILITY IN THE AMOUNT OF $553,770, SUBJECT TO RECEIPT OF THE <br />ENVIRONMENTAL FORMS. <br /> <br />4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. <br /> <br />Proper presented for consideration the advertisement for bids to eliminate <br />the old Lift Station #10. <br /> <br />Lift Station #10 is one of the oldest stations and is located at the <br />intersection of Old Highway 8 and 14th Street NW and serves the area <br />east of Long Lake. In 1987, installation of the interceptor sewer on the <br />Miller property provided means to eliminate the station. The elimination <br />was to be performed in 1994, but was accelerated due to recent <br />expensive breakdowns which required temporary emergency repairs. <br /> <br />The project cost is $125,000 and is paid through sewer user fees. The <br />project is suitable for winter or spring construction and should attract <br />some good bids. Bids will be opened on January 17, 1992. <br /> <br />Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Larson, to AUTHORIZE THE <br />ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR THE ELIMINATION OF OLD LIFT <br />STATION #10, PROJECT 92~7. <br /> <br />4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. <br /> <br />Rebelein received a comment from a resident who commended the efforts <br />of the New Brighton snow removal crew during the recent snowstorms. <br /> <br />Proper gave a status report of the City's snow removal efforts. <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />Bids for GAC <br />Procurement <br />Report 91-260 <br /> <br />Elimination of Lift <br />Station #10 <br />Report 91-261 <br /> <br />Snow Removal <br />Update <br />
