a contract this evening, the Puma Street trunk utility extensions should be operational by the end of December. This schedule meets the developers desired utility service schedule allowing Certificates of Occupancy to be issued for homes in the central area of the Riverstone development by January of 2018. It should be noted that the permanent lift station pumps will likely not be operational until next spring, which required the project to be bid with a temporary pumping system that will need to be removed and replaced with the permanent system when the permanent system is available to be installed. Notification: Bids were advertised twice in the Anoka Union Herald and Finance and Commerce, once on Friday, September 15th, and again on Friday, September 22nd. Observations/Alternatives: Observations: Final plans and specifications are attached to this case. One addendum to the plans and specifications was issued during the bid process. A copy of the addendum is attached. Puma Street is proposed to be restored using temporary surfacing composed of 8" of reclaimed pavement material. This temporary surfacing will be in place during the winter, but due to Puma Street's low traffic volumes, and since Puma Street is proposed to be reconstructed next spring/summer, this low-cost, temporary repair is proposed by Staff. Plans and specifications for future permanent street improvements for both Puma Street and Bunker Lake Boulevard will need to be prepared and bid this winter to allow construction to occur next spring/summer. A separate case will be presented to Council in the near future requesting Council authorization to prepare plan and specifications for these proposed permanent street improvements.
