ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR THE 2008 SEWER LINING PROJECT
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to seek City Council authorization to
advertise for bids for the 2008 Sewer Lining project.
Historv
Annually the City of Prior Lake uses a process called slip-lining to repair
existing sanitary sewers. This method allows the City to repair sewers without
excavating the street or yard areas. A resin liner is installed within the existing
clay sewer pipes. This liner provides pipe integrity, increased flow capacity
while providing a water tight sewer line. The lining of existing sewers using this
method is extremely cost effective and important to the City's preventative
maintenance program. These repairs substantially extend the life of the sewer
system while reducing inflow and infiltration in to the City's sanitary sewer
which can increase wear on lift station pumps and increases the City's costs
for sewage treatment by the Met Council.
Current Circumstances
The 2008 Sewer Utility Fund Budget includes $100,000 for sewer lining. In
addition to that funding the Met Council has asked the City to undertake
$37,500 in lining repairs as part of Amendment NO.1 to the Interceptor
Transfer Agreement which is item 51 on tonight's agenda. The Met Council
will reimburse the City for those repairs as part of that Agreement.
For 2008 City Staff proposes to line 1,800 feet of 8" sanitary sewer located in
Village Lake Drive and the Jordan Avenue/Franklin Trail easement area. As
discussed the City also proposes to line 377 feet of 30" sanitary sewer in Park
Avenue for the Met Council.
The proposed repairs are necessary and important to maintaining the integrity
of the City's sanitary sewer system and reducing costs associated with
groundwater infiltration in to the City's system.
Failure to continue to line sewers will result in substantial repairs that will
require costly excavation in existing City Streets and increased sewage
treatment costs from the Met Council. While the exact life expectancy of lined
sewers is unknown the City expects them to last 50 years or more if the correct
methods are used.
