Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT MARCH 1S, 2010 SF CRAIG ELDRED, STREET AND UTILITIES SUPERVISOR CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR THE 2010 SEWER SLIP-LINING PROJECT Introduction The purpose of this agenda item is to seek City Council authorization to advertise for bids for the 2010 Sewer Slip-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 watertight 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 2010 Sewer Utility Fund Budget includes $150,000 for sewer slip-lining. City Staff proposes to line 4,639 feet of 8" sanitary sewer located in Brooksville Hills, Red Oaks and Red Oaks easement area. Additionally, staff has included 180.25 lineal feet of lining as an alternate on Racine Street, which would potentially be added as part of the utility improvements servicing the proposed Willowbrook Cooperative Development. (Senior Coop Living proposed at West and CR 21.) 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 into the City's system. Failure to continue to line sewers will result in the need for 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. www.cityofpriorlake.com Phone 952.447.9800 / Fax 952.447.4245 FINANCIAL IMPACT: The use of sewer lining reduces City costs for sewer repairs to about 1/3 of tradition excavation methods. Slip lining also reduces inflow and infiltration which can affect the costs of sewer effluent treatment. The City has budgeted $150,000 in the Sewer Utility Fund for lining repairs in 2010.
