MEMORANDUM
TO: Scott Botcher, City Manager
FROM: Anita L. Benson, City Engineer ~
DATE: March 6, 2000
SUBJ: Authorize Preparation of Feasibility Study for BC-7 Trunk Sanitary Sewer
and BC-8 Trunk Sanitary Sewer and Lateral Watermain Improvement
Project No. 00-01
The City of Chanhassen has received petitions trom Mills Properties, Inc., Paul and
Paula Savaryn, and Westwood Community Church to conduct a feasibility study for
the extension of trunk sanitary sewer improvements for the BC-7 sewer sub district
and the BC-8 sewer sub district which will include lateral watermain improvements
in the BC-8 area. The Mills and Savaryn properties are currently proposed for
development by Pulte Homes. The Westwood Community Church property is
located west of Highway 41 in the BC-8 sewer sub district. Additionally, property
owners west of Trunk Highway 41 have expressed an interest in obtaining city sewer
and water service; however, they have not formally submitted a petition.
The BC-7 and BC-8 sewer sub districts were brought into the MUSA area for the
year 2000 with the City's recent comprehensive plan update. The BC-7 trunk
sanitary sewer improvements are included in the city's five-year capital improvement
plan for the years 2000 and 2001. The BC-8 trunk sanitary sewer improvements are
included in the city's five-year capital improvement plan for 2002. The TH 5/West
78th Street improvement project will extend trunk sanitary sewer to the west side of
Galpin Boulevard and watermain to the west side ofTH 41. Developmenfõf
property owned by the petitioners and the proposed Project 00-01 will need to be
coordinated with the TH 5/West 78th Street project. MnDOT is responsible for
administering this project which currently has a contract letting date of May 26,
2000.
Recognizing the potential cost-saving benefits of combining the BC-7 and BC-8
sewer sub districts and lateral watermain improvements in the BC-8 area in one
feasibility study, I requested proposals trom engineering firms to prepare a feasibility
study which allows these projects to proceed as one stand-alone project or as two
separate projects. The following table represents the proposals received trom the
four engineering firms responding to the request for proposals. SEH, Inc. declined to
submit a proposal for preparation of the feasibility study.

Each of the engineering firms submitting proposals is highly qualified to prepare the feasibility study.
Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates has submitted a proposed cost which is significantly less
than the other firms. This is primarily due to the familiarity Bonestroo has with the city gained
through updating the comprehensive sewer and water policy plans, and past experience on previous
similar projects with the city.
A request for proposals to provide design and construction administrative services has been sent to
consulting firms as indicated in the attached proposed project schedule.
I recommend the City Council authorize Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates to prepare the
feasibility study for the BC-7 Trunk Sanitary Sewer and BC-8 Trunk Sanitary Sewer and Lateral
Watermain Improvement Project No. 00-01 as outlined in their proposal dated March 1,2000. This
authorization is contingent upon the petitioning owners executing the attached feasibility study
agreement to fund preparation of the feasibility study.

Dear Ms. Benson,
I am writing on behalf of Westwood Community Church to initiate the petition process
for the extension of sewer and water to the west side of State Highway 41 at or about the
78th Street (service road) intersection. In a recent meeting with Kate Aanenson, she
suggested that we confirm our current intent to obtain sewer and water connections to our
future building site. As I believe you are aware, the church owns roughly 57 acres which
lies north of the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum property and south of
Camp Tonadoona. At present, our plan is to proceed with building construction in
2000/2001. While the architectural selection process is nearing completion, a firm will
be engaged by August I, 1999. I am sure the architects will pursue this matter with you
once they are on board.
Please advise me of any formal documentation or other process which needs to be
initiated to achieve our objective of obtaining City sewer and water within the time
frame set forth above. If you have any questions, please contact me. Once again, thank
you for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
~c44~é

RE: Engineering Proposal for Feasibility Report
City Project 00-0 I
Our File: SP999-00-045
Dear Anita,
We are pleased to submit this proposal to complete a Feasibility Report for sanitary sewer and water
tàcilities as outlined in your Feb. 15,2000, Request for Proposals.
We will complete the Feasibility Report as outlined in the RFP for the lump-sum fee of $1 ,945. If the BC-
8 area is removed from the study, the fee would be $1,785. The fee amounts quoted are based on our
standard fee calculation as included in our current contract with the City.
The report will be written so that the work can be completed in phases, with the BC- 7 area being Phase I,
and the BC-8 area being Phase II. We are available to start the work immediately.
As you know, we are very familiar with this project. We have previously completed trunk utility projects
in areas surrounding the project area. We are also very familiar with the City's assessment policy and area
charge system having helped prepare them. We work well with Dave Hempel and the rest of your Staff.
In fact, we just recently helped Dave with assessment issues for his ITontage road feasibility report for the
project adjacent to this one.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or require any further assistance.

o Upper Bluff Creek District Trunk Sewer
In 1991 approximately 2,780 acres of land in Chanhassen was added to
the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA . As part of this expansion,
the City was petitioned to extend utilities to its Upper 81uff Creek Sanitary
Distrid.
80nestroo prepared a preliminary report to serve the Upper 81uff Creek
Distrid. The report evaluated various alternatives. The recommended
alternative consists on combination of lift stations, forcemains, and
gravity sewer. The total estimated average daily flow from the distrid is
2.49 MGD.
In 1992 the City retained 80nestroo to design a major portion of the
proposed facilities. The design was particularly challenging due to the
existence of many wetland areas and the existence of unsuitable subsoils.
The final design consisted of:
· 11,700 feet of 1 2 inch diameter pipe
· 2,300 feet of 18 inch diameter pipe
· 3,500 feet of 21 inch diameter pipe
· 5,400 feet of 24 inch diameter pipe
· 4,900 feet of pipe piling
· 2,000 feet of 18 inch diameter force main, and
· a 4,500 gallon per minute lift station.
The low construction bid for the project was 52,352,000. The low bid
was within 0.5 percent of the engineer's estimate. Construction on the
project began in Odober 1992 and was completed in June 1993.

Orono: Three Collection System Projects
o North Long Lake/Long Lake Country Club
Sanitary Sewer
The purpose of this project was to provide sewer to two existing
neighborhoods located within the shoreland area of Long lake. All
properties within the project area were served by individual on-site
septic systems. Many of these septic systems were identified as either
non-conforming or failing. The non-conforming systems failed to meet a
three-foot separation between the system drainfield and the seasonal
high water table. These failing systems were not functional and showed
evidence of surface discharge. Average lot sizes within the project were
less than one acre, and the existing topography was wooded with steep
slopes. The small lot sizes and steep terrain made it difficult or impossible
for most properties to find an alternate septic site.
Approximately 50 properties were served by this project. The final design
included a combination of gravity and low pressure systems. Gravity
sewer was utilized wherever practical. Approximately 10 properties
located near the lakeshore were served by individual residential grinder
stations. These individual low pressure systems pumped into a trunk
gravity line. Two City owned lift stations were constructed to convey
flows to an existing gravity sewer.
Long cul-de-sacs and narrow roads presented construction challenges.
Local and emergency vehicle access was maintained throughout the
project despite an extremely wet July. Construction methods included
open cut and directional boring. PVC pipe was used for the open cut
gravity sewer installations; HDPE pipe was used for all directional bores.
Directional boring was used to install 4" forcemain, 1 'h" low pressure
services, 4" gravity services and 8" gravity trunk and lateral lines.
The overall project was successful in several ways. It was completed on
time, eliminating failing septic systems in a timely manner. The final
project costs were under budget, minimizing City costs and property
assessments. The sewer installation alleviated environmental concerns,
provided new streets, and freed up valuable land for home additions
and site improvements to the individual properties.

o Brackett's Point/Bay Ridge Sanitary Sewer
The two project areas lie along the shores of Lake Minnetonka. Brackett's
Point is located on a peninsula between Brown's and Smith Bays. Bay
Ridge is approximately one mile south of Brackett's Point along the
shoreline of Smith Bay. Both neighborhoods were fully developed and all
properties were served by on-site septic systems. Residents from both
neighborhoods petitioned the City to provide sanitary sewer. Non-
conforming or failing septic systems along with the proximity to the
lakeshore were the primary factors the City considered when ordering
the project.
Each neighborhood offered a unique set of design obstacles: Brackett's
Point with its long cul-de-sac, poor soils and little topographic relief; Bay
Ridge with its proximity to the lake and heavily traveled county roads.
Easement acquisition was necessary and difficult for both sites.
Members of both neighborhoods were included in the design process.
Both neighborhoods wanted a gravity sewer system despite the
substantial additional cost as compared to a low pressure system.
Twenty-two properties were served by municipal gravity sewer and
property on the lakeshore had to be served by a low pressure system.
The Bay Ridge project served eight properties. An 8" PVC gravity trunk
sewer was installed through the backyards. The sewer location was
determined by the property owners, based on locations of the septic
systems and ease of hook-ups. The backyard alignment required the
contractor to use extreme care during construction to protect elaborate
landscaping. A City-owned lift station was constructed as part of the
project. A 3" HOPE forcemain was then directionally bored from the lift
station to an existing gravity manhole.
Construction of the sewer on Brackett's Point required considerable
coordination to maintain residential access throughout the project.
Construction methods were dictated by the need for access, a high
water table, and poor soils (peat and marl). Extensive directional boring
was used on this project. Approximately 2000 feet of 8" HOPE gravity
sewer was directionally bored. Because of the topography, much of the
sewer was installed at minimum grade. The gravity system routed flows
to a lift station constructed as part of the project. Lift station design
needed to be coordinated with the MCES as flows needed to be
pumped into an existing 20" MCES forcemain.
Negotiations with project and non-project residents were successful in
the acquisition of some difficult easements necessary to construct the
projects. Both projects were completed on time and within budget.
