Background: <br />AWARD BIDS FOR BUNKER LAKE BOULEVARD WATERMAIN <br />IMPROVEMENTS <br />By: Leonard Linton, Civil Engineer II <br />CASE # 10 <br />The 2004 Comprehensive Water Study identified the need for additional sources of water to <br />serve the projected growth of the City. The study indicated that construction of three (3) new <br />water supply wells were required to meet immediate projected growth needs. Well 6 was <br />constructed in 2005, Wells 7 & 8 were bid and authorized in August 2006. Well 7 will be <br />adjacent to Fire Station No.1 and will connect to the pipes in Armstrong Boulevard installed as <br />part of the Northwest Sewer and Water Project. Well 8 will be installed in North Commons <br />adjacent to Ramsey Town Center 8th and 10 Additions. <br />The purpose of this project is to connect the watermains installed as part of the NW Sewer and <br />Water Project to watermains installed by Ramsey Town Center. The pipes will be installed in <br />the right -of -way of Bunker Lake Boulevard from Town Center Drive west to near the <br />intersection of Armstrong Boulevard and Bunker Lake Boulevard. A sketch of the work area is <br />attached for reference. These proposed watermains must be operational in order to connect the <br />new wells to the City system.
