CASE # 3 <br />UPGRADES TO WELL HOUSE #3 EXTERUIR <br />By: John Nelson Utilities Supervisor <br />Background: <br />City well #5 was completed in 2000 and well house #3 was constructed to house well #5 in 2001. <br />In 2004 well #6 was constructed on the corner of Zeolite St and Civic Center Drive. Well #6 is <br />piped to well house #3, where the raw water is chemically treated. The interior of this well house <br />was completed as part of the project in 2001; however the exterior was left unfinished. The <br />reasoning behind that decision was to match the exterior to the surrounding buildings when <br />development occurred. The current exterior of the building is unfinished masonry block. With <br />the current additions to the down town area, including the amphitheater, farmers market and the <br />Allina Clinic, staff feels it would be appropriate to start discussing the exterior finish of well <br />house #3. <br />Funding: <br />This project was added to the CIP in 2004 and was assigned Capital Improvement Project <br />#04-WTR-005 with a total project cost of $60,000. <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Request for quotes for architectural services for: <br />• Selecting an exterior design <br />• Adding building security <br />• Removal of propane tank system and pipe natural gas to site <br />• If funding is available, extend road to well house #3 <br />Committee Action: <br />Motion to accept/reject staff's recommendation and forward to City Council for approval. <br />Reviewed By: <br />Director of Public Works/Principal City Engineer <br />City Engineer <br />PW: 07/20/10 <br />
