10.4 <br />10.4.1 <br />10.5 <br />Vacant City Property Site <br />The City owns a vacant 4.1-acre parcel located on the east side of Ramsey Blvd NW, west of the <br />Public Works Site shown on Figure 1 in Appendix I. The 4.1-acre parcel would be sufficient to <br />construct Ramsey's water treatment plant. A water treatment plant layout for the Vacant City <br />Property Site is shown on Figure 7 in Appendix I. <br />Raw and Finished Watermain Costs — Vacant City Property Site <br />The raw and finished watermain required to construct a water treatment plant at the Vacant City <br />Property Site is shown on Figure 3 in Appendix I. The water main and garage costs are included <br />in Table 10-4. Because the Vacant City Property Site is not on or adjacent to the new Public <br />Works Site, it is assumed that a garage is needed. <br />Table 10-4 — Vacant City Property Site Costs <br />. ani <br />Est.. <br />Quantity <br />Unit Prig <br />24" Raw Watermain <br />LF <br />7,000 <br />$250 <br />$1,750,000 <br />24" Road Crossing <br />(Jacking) <br />LF <br />200 <br />$1,000 <br />$200,000 <br />24" Finished <br />Watermain <br />LF <br />4,300 <br />$250 <br />$1,075,000 <br />20" Raw Watermain <br />LF <br />1,900 <br />$175 <br />$333,000 <br />Well 8 Meter Vault <br />Lump Sum <br />1 <br />$100,000 <br />$100,000 <br />WTP Garage <br />Lump Sum <br />1 <br />$1,280,000 <br />$1,280,000 <br />Total <br />$4,738,000 <br />1 Costs are for comparison of alternatives and are not meant to represent the full project costs. <br />Water Treatment Plant Site Evaluation and Recommendation <br />The City had previously planned to locate a surface water treatment plant at the Fire Station site. <br />Some of the raw watermain is in place and it is convenient for metering Well 8. However, the Fire <br />Station site is remote from other Public Works facilities, would have operational inefficiencies, <br />and would require building a garage. The Fire Station site would also require the City to <br />purchase land. Due to the construction of the garage and purchasing land, the Fire Station site is <br />more expensive than the Public Works site. <br />The Public Works site requires more new raw and finished watermain than the Fire Station site, <br />but because it is on the site of the Public Works Facility that is currently under construction it <br />would not require a garage and could share an emergency generator and security infrastructure <br />with the Public Works Facility. Having multiple public works facilities on the same site also <br />increases operational efficiencies. The Public Works Site is already owned by the City and <br />doesn't require the purchase of private property. If a garage is not included with the water <br />treatment plant, the Public Works Site is the least expensive option. <br />FEASIBILITY STUDY - DRAFT RAMSY 154354 <br />Page 38 <br />
