Case #24: Award for the Engineering and Development of Contract for Well No. 3 City Engineer Jankowski reminded Council that they had authorized the solicitation of proposals from five consultants for the engineering work associated with the design and construction of Well No. 3. In addition to the well, this project also includes the construction of a new well house and a supervisory control system to coordinate and direct the operation of the entire water system. The f'mns include Hakanson Anderson Associates, Inc., Progressive Consulting Engineers Inc., John Oliver & Associates, Our Schelen - Maryeron & Associates, Inc., and Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik & Associates. He explained that the project is necessary, due to the increasing demand of the City's growing water utility, and the fact that the City does not have sufficient water supply to meet the peak summer day demand if any of our existing three water sources would become unavailable. In reviewing the proposals, it became apparent that Well No. 3 could not be completed earlier than September 1996, which is beyond the period during which the peak demand day is likely to occur. Mr. Jankowski summarized his review of the bids and recommended Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik & Associates. His recommendation is based upon the finn's experience in the area of well design and construction and cost considerations. He believed the selection of BRA would promote continuity as this f'uma has been responsible for the development of the utilities comprehensive plan. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilrnember Beyer to enter into a contract with BRA for the design and construction of Well No. 3 and associated improvement in conformance with the consultants proposal. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Peterson, Beyer and Beahen. Voting No: None. Absent: CouncilmemberZimmerman. Mayor Hardin recessed the regular Council meeting at 8:59. Mayor Hardin called the regular meeting of the City Council back to order at 9:07 p.m. Case /125: Adopt Proposed Ordinances to Amend Chapters 5 and 9 of Ramsey City Code Regarding Parking and Storing Vehicles and Equipment in Residential Districts Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that on January 23, 1996, Council introduced an ordinance to amend Chapters 5 and 9 of the Ramsey City Code regarding parking and storing of vehicles and equipment in Residential Districts. These ordinances are eligible for adoption at this time. Marlys Williams, 5180 - 157th Lane NW, Ramsey, felt that Council is doing a very good job of trying to get some clean-up done. At the Planning Commission meeting, it appeared they thought that one area of the City could have different regulations than other parts of the City. She reporting speaking to the City Attorney about this and being told it is possible if it's based upon fact. She referred to the different sizes of lots throughout the City. When the ordinance talks about the storage of vehicles, she inquired if the vehicle must belong to the property owners. City Council/February 13, 1996 Page 23 of 32
