Other Improvements The above costs represent the costs to obtain water and sewer service for the municipal building. However, in conjunction with this work, two other improvements should be considered. It will eventually be necessary to loop the twelve-inch trunk main to the existing main on 151st Lane. This would complete a major twelve-inch loop around the eastern and northern limits of our current water service district and will provide a second backup feed to Ramsey Elementary School. The cost of completing this loop is $63,200. There is also a problem with standing water on the pavement in front at the eastern doors of the Fire garage. While the pavement is being disturbed for the sanitary sewer installation, a catch basin and storm drain outlet could be installed and discharged to the depression north of the Fire Department building. The cost from this is estimated to be $7,000. Council Action: The $91,700 project is the minimum necessary to facilitate the Police Office Building with municipal services. If Council chooses the additional options, the total project cost becomes an estimated $161,900. It has been proposed that costs associated with these main extensions be provided for out of the respective trunk revenues from other projects. At the last Council meeting it was proposed that a three-acre parcel be severed from the existing City Hall property to provide for an eight-lot subdivision and a parcel extension of these mains. Such a project would provide for additional trunk revenues or avoided costs of $83,416. Additional to this would be the land sales price of roughly $36,000. This would result in a total of approximately $122,000 contributed to this project. Council Action: Option one: Motion to authorize an extension of municipal services from the Brandseth Addition at an estimated project cost of $91,700 - If this option is selected, the additional utility extension is relatively simple and similar to the Brandseth utility work. In this case, the City should request the developers of Brandseth to include this sewer extension with their work and credit their mink assessment. or Option two: Motion to authorize the sale of an approximate three-acre parcel pursuant to the above and authorize utility construction including looping and storm drahaage at an estimated project cost of $161,900 - If this option is selected, the utility extension becomes more complex. In this case, staff would recommend obtaining proposals from several engineering f'mm for the cost of this work.
