II SUBJ: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Taking Bids
for Lake Lucy Road Trunk Watermain Project
File No. 88-25
IAttached are the construction plans for the Lake Lucy Road trunk
watermain project. These plans were prepared in accordance with
I the accepted feasibility study and have had the benefit of citi-
zen input from our January 24, 1989 workshop session. The plans
have been reviewed by the fire inspector and fire chief and fire
hydrants have been placed in accordance with their wishes along
Ithis alignment. In addition, there are seven ( 7 ) service
crossings under Lake Lucy Road which needed to be added to the
scope of the project to provide service to the southerly proper-
ties when they ultimately request it.
The plans at this time do not include any provisions for
I construction of a bike path over the proposed alignment for the
trunk watermain. As noted in the previous agenda item, this
alternative needs to be further reviewed with MnDOT before pro-
ceeding. There is some question whether there is sufficient road
1 width, even without one bike lane, to allow parking. This will
need to receive MnDOT' s blessing before proceeding.
I The total engineer' s estimate for the project, including con-
tingencies, and $40,000 for service jackings under Lake Lucy Road
is $472 , 500. It is estimated that construction of the bike path
I over the trunk watermain would add an additional $47,500 to
$63, 800 to the project costs, exclusive of any easement costs
which might be needed.
II It is therefore recommended that the City Council approve the
attached Lake Lucy Road Trunk Watermain plans as prepared by the
firm of Westwood Professional Services and authorize the taking
I of bids. It is further recommended that staff conduct an eva-
luation and review with MnDOT concerning the acceptability of eli-
minating the eastbound bike path from Lake Lucy Road and
