MEMORANDUM

DATE: May 23, 2016
SUBJ: West 78th Street Water Main Extension Project No. 14-07:
Award of Bid
PROPOSED MOTION
"The City Council approves a construction contract in the amount of
$220,596.06 to GM Contracting, Inc. for work to be performed on the above -
referenced project."
City Council approval requires a simple majority vote of the City Council
present.
BACHGROUND
Dogwood Road and Beacon Court area is built out and is at the end of a long water
main. During high flow events, such as hydrant flushing, this area has experienced
some water hammers that can cause hot water valves to open, leading to damage
inside the properties.
This project will provide a secondary connection into the city's water system for the
area, creating a loop. This loop connection will provide several benefits:
1. Minimize the water hammer problem by equalizing the water flow through the
loop.
2. Provide a redundant water source for the area. This will allow the city to
better maintain properties' water service during maintenance operations or
emergency water main breaks.
3. Improve water circulation in this area, which will reduce sediment settling in
the lines thereby improving the appearance of the water and reducing the
frequency of hydrant flushing required.
This project consists of the construction of approximately 2,100 LF of 10" HDPE
Website
www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us (High Density Poly Ethylene) water main along West 78th Street from Beacon Court
to Trunk Highway 41 (see attached location map). MnDOT requires a 16" HDPE
casing pipe under Trunk Highway 41. The water main extension will provide a
second connection for water service in the Tanadoona Drive/Dogwood Road/Beacon
Court area.

Description Total Project Cost: $250,000
This project will extend an 8" watermain on 78th Street from TH 41 west to the Arbor's development,
Justification I
The Arbor's development is fully built out and water for this area is served by a trunk watermain on Tanadoona Drive. This development has a
long service area which is currently not looped. During high flow events such as hydrant flushing this area can experience water hammers that can
cause hot water heater valves to open. This can lead to damage in the properties. To eliminate the water hammer problem the best solution is to
loop the watermain to TH 41.
