Capital Improvement Program <br />City of Ramsey, Minnesota <br />2016 aim 2020 <br />Project # 16 -PARK -001 <br />Project Name Irrigation Filter System for The Draw <br />Type Improvement <br />Useful Life 20 Years <br />Category Park Improvement <br />Description <br />Department Park Improvements <br />Contact <br />Priority 6 -Planned <br />Status Active <br />Total Project Cost: $25,000 <br />The self-cleaning filter system would remove algae and other material from The Draw's stormwater pond water that is used for irrigating the <br />amphitheater, 7 -acre park, ballfield and boulevards. The project includes filter system, controller, custom made cabinet, plumbing, earthwork and <br />electrical. <br />Justification <br />Presently, the 300 gpm pump draws water from the lined pond, including small amounts of algae, which accumulate in each and every sprinkler <br />head on the system. This necessitates taking the hundreds of sprinkler heads apart, in some cases requiring removing and replacing soil and sod in <br />the process. Each season this can entail more than 40 hours of staff labor, in addition to time with the jetter truck cleaning the wet well. In <br />between cleanings, heads clog and dry spots become visible in the turf. Eventually the sprinkler heads can no longer be cleaned, and need to be <br />replaced. The filter system is required for operational efficiency and will reduce annual labor costs. <br />Expenditures <br />2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Total <br />Improvements Other than <br />Building Cost <br />25,000 25,000 <br />Funding Sources <br />Total 25,000 25,000 <br />2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Total <br />Park Improvement Trust Fund 25,000 25,000 <br />Total <br />25,000 25,000 <br />110 <br />
