Capital Improvement Program 2016 thru 2020 <br /> City of Ramsey, Minnesota <br /> Project# 16-PARK-001 <br /> Project Name Irrigation Filter System for The Draw <br /> Type Improvement Department Park Improvements - <br /> Useful Life 20 Years Contact <br /> Category Park Improvement Priority 2-New Addition(High) <br /> Status Active <br /> Description 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 sprinkler head on the <br /> system. This necessitates taking 851 sprinkler heads apart(of 2,000 total heads),iin 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 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Total <br /> Improvements Other than 25,000 25,000 <br /> Building Cost <br /> Total 25,000 25,000 <br /> Funding Sources 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Total <br /> Park Improvement Trust Fund 25,000 25,000 <br /> Total 25,000 25,000 <br /> 104 <br />
