CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: APRIL 24, 2017
AGENDA #: 9B
PREPARED BY: JASON WEDEL, INTERIM PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
PRESENTED BY: JASON WEDEL
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE
SELECTION OF AN ENGINEERING FIRM FOR ARCHITECTUAL AND
ENGINEERING SERVICES RELATING TO THE SUMMIT PRESERVE
BOOSTER STATION
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda report is to consider approval of a resolution
approving the selection of Bolton & Menk to contract with for engineering
and architectural services for the construction of the Summit Preserve
Booster Station.
History
The components of municipal water systems are, to some extent, dictated
by the typography of the community. In the case of Prior Lake, the
typography requires two booster stations to maintain an acceptable level of
water pressure for all system users.
The first booster station was constructed and operates in the Wilds. The
City has planned for the construction of a second booster station to serve
the Summit Preserve area which lies north of CR42 and east of CR18.
Preliminary analysis was completed in 2007 when this area was planned
to include multi-story apartment buildings. Since this time, development
needs have changed and this area is now being planned for single family
homes and townhomes. Nonetheless, the booster station continues to be a
necessity which is now required because of the two subdivisions which are
in the approval stage and are expected to develop in this area. Funding to
support this booster station has been incorporated in our water fund.
Current Circumstances
Requests for proposals were sent to three consulting firms. The proposals
include updating the previous study that was done for this area to confirm
the limits of the new pressure zone based on the current proposed
development for this area. Once the pressure zone area is confirmed a
new booster station will designed, construction documents prepared, and
construction management will be completed. These services are all a part
of the scope of work provided by the consultant selected.
2
Proposals were received from Bolton and Menk and Stantec. The third
firm that was contacted for a proposal decided not to submit due to the lack
of capacity to take on this project.
Bolton and Menk $ 73,525
Stantec $ 132,030
Conclusion
Both firms provided excellent proposals and both are capable of providing
the services requested. In addition, both firms provided very similar
schedules for completing the project which included having the new
booster station completed and operational by June 30, 2018. The timing
for having the booster station completed has been provided to the two
current applicants developing the property in this area and has been
confirmed to work with their schedules.
ISSUES: The City of Prior Lake has worked with Bolton & Menk on previous
occasions and staff is confident in Bolton & Menk and their project
personnel that they will be able to complete the necessary tasks on
deadline and on budget.
The joint water treatment plant agreement does not affect the need for this
booster station in any way.
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
The funding for this project was included in this year’s budget. The City
has a total budget of $500,000 for this project which includes design and
construction. The funding is coming out of the Water fund.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Motion and second to approve a resolution approving the selection of
Bolton and Menk for engineering and architectural services relating to the
Summit Preserve Booster Station.
2. Motion and a second to table action and to provide direction to staff for
more information

PROJECT BACKGROUND
The City of Prior Lake is located in Scott County on the southwest edge of the Twin Cities metro area. The
City operates a municipal water supply that includes two elevated water towers, a water treatment plant,
booster station and distribution system. Elevations within the city range from 1060 to 830 requiring two
pressure zones to adequately serve the community. A booster station was construction in the mid-90s to
serve one of these areas. Recent development requests are prompting the need to construct a second
booster station.
The City has planned for the construction of a second booster station to serve the Summit Preserve area
which lies north of CR42 and east of CR 18. See the attached map noting this area. Preliminary analysis
was completed in 2007 when this area was planned to include multi-story apartment buildings. Since this

RE: Proposal for Summit Preserve Booster Station
Dear Ms. Thompson:
The Summit Preserve Booster Station will provide the needed water pressure to a developing area of the City that cannot
be adequately served by the City’s existing system. The purpose of work is to re-evaluate the need for the booster station
and if needed, provide the design and construction services for the new booster station. Bolton & Menk, Inc. has in-depth
experience and knowledge of the City’s water system, along with the qualifications to complete the Summit Preserve
Booster Station. We believe you will find outstanding value in our approach to your project for the following reasons:
Prior Lake Water System Experience – Bolton & Menk has completed most of the City’s water system work for the past
10 years including the planning, preliminary design, design, and construction management for the water treatment facility.
Bolton & Menk currently holds and updates the City’s existing water model and has effectively used it to determine if
changes or modifications are required on street and utility projects for better or improved water distribution. Utilizing the
water model will be very important for determining whether the booster station is needed to serve the proposed development.
Effective Communication – The key to a successful project is solid communication and fully understanding the project
goals. Bolton & Menk will collaborate with the City throughout the plan process. Our vast experience delivering similar
successful projects for municipalities throughout the Metropolitan Area and State of Minnesota will be invaluable. We
understand the need to meet with City staff as we progress through the report and planning, as well as the need to meet
with the Planning Commission and City Council to achieve buy-in and understanding of the complexities and importance
of the water system as a whole.
Comprehensive Water Experience – Bolton & Menk has extensive experience designing the various portions of a water
system and we have designed multiple water booster stations. Bolton & Menk will draw upon our vast design experience,
in all aspects of water systems, to ensure we provide sound engineering and advice for proceeding with the Summit
Preserve Water Booster Station.
In continued service to the City of Prior Lake, we are excited at the opportunity to complete the Summit Preserve Booster
Station for you. I will personally serve as your Project Manager and lead client contact on this project. Please contact me
at 612-803-5223 or sethpe@bolton-menk.com if you have any questions regarding our proposal.

Scope of Work
Task 1: Kick-Off Meeting and Preliminary Design Phase
The preliminary engineering phase will start with a project
kick-off meeting. The meeting is a time for our project
team to meet with City staff and become familiar with the
City’s vision for this project. This meeting is a chance for
our team to collect any necessary data for proceeding with
the preliminary engineering phase. It also gives us the
opportunity to request any available information that has
not already been provided.
The preliminary design phase is an important step to a
successful project. It allows the project team to meet with
City staff and discuss the booster station project in detail.
By meeting with staff and discussing the project, we can
develop a better understanding of the City’s needs, which
allows our design team to prepare design options and
present those options to the City for final improvement
decisions.
Subtask 1.1: Project Initiation/Kick-Off Meeting
Our team will evaluate the work to be completed for
the booster station. The meeting will provide strong
project insight and allow us to develop a better project
understanding. We will request any additional information
we may need.
Subtask 1.2: Evaluate Feasibility of Booster Station
Bolton & Menk will evaluate the need for the booster
station and proposed development to determine whether
or not the booster station is needed. The booster station
was originally planned when the development plans called
for a multi-story building on-site. However, the current
development plan does not have the multi-story building.
Using the proposed Land Use Plan and water model we
will determine whether a booster station is required. Based
on our initial calculations from the information provided,
a booster station will be required to serve the higher
elevation areas in the proposed area. Bolton & Menk will
detail our findings in a feasibility report for review.
Subtask 1.3: Preliminary Design Report
Assuming a booster station is required, we will evaluate
the work to be completed, including the ultimate booster
station location, type of booster station, architectural
features, and other key design items. In addition, we will
complete a topographic survey of the booster station site.
There are many different types of booster stations, from
prefab, skid type booster stations, to booster stations built
from scratch, and even underground booster stations. The
preliminary design report will evaluate all booster station
types to allow the City to choose the booster station best
suited for their needs. Bolton & Menk will complete a final
report for review.
Subtask 1.4: Coordinate Soil Borings
Our scope of work includes coordinating soil borings with
a local geotechnical firm. Bolton & Menk will handle all
coordination with the geotechnical firm. The soil boring
work and report will be billed directly to the City.
Subtask 1.5: Develop Preliminary Cost Estimate
Based on the preliminary design for each lift station and
soil boring information, we will develop a preliminary cost
estimate.
Subtask 1.6: Meet with City Staff
We will meet with City staff to review the preliminary
design report. Recommendations from this meeting will
allow us to proceed into the final design phase.
Deliverables: Feasibility and preliminary design report
for booster station, preliminary cost estimate, soil boring
information
Task 2: Design Phase
The final design and bidding phase will take the
recommendations from the preliminary design phase
and incorporate those into the final design and bidding
documents. Following are the key tasks for this phase:
Subtask 2.1: Design and Plan Preparation
The final design for the booster station will occur in
this task and include final design elements, such as
architectural, structural, mechanical, HVAC, and electrical
and controls.

Scope of Work, Schedule, and Fees
Submitted by Bolton & Menk, Inc.
Subtask 2.2: Prepare Specifications and Bid Documents
Bolton & Menk will assemble the technical specifications
and bid documents for the booster station. We understand
the City uses Automatic Systems Company (ASC) for
controls work and we will coordinate with ASC to assist
with the controls portion of the specifications. This will
ensure the booster station will communicate properly with
the City’s water SCADA system and be fully integrated
into the water system.
Subtask 2.3: Obtain Required Permits
Bolton & Menk will assist the City in obtaining permits
from the Minnesota Department of Health. We will prepare
and submit the documents to the agencies for approval. All
permit fees will be paid for by the City of Prior Lake.
Subtask 2.4: Develop Cost Estimate
The cost estimate from the preliminary design phase
will be updated to incorporate the final design. The cost
estimate will be provided to the City for review.
Subtask 2.5: Provide Bid Support Services, Answer
Questions, Issue Addenda
Bolton & Menk will provide bid support services
consisting of answering bidders’ questions and issuing
addendas as needed. Bolton & Menk will upload the
bidding documents to QuestCDN and also advertise the
project in Finance and Commerce. We will assist the
City in submitting the advertisement for bids to the City’s
local paper, the Prior Lake American. In addition, the
advertisement will be listed on the Bolton & Menk website.
Subtask 2.6: Open Bids, Prepare Bid Tabulation, Provide
Recommendation
Bolton & Menk will attend the bid opening, compile
the bids, prepare a bid tabulation, and provide a
recommendation for awarding the project.
Deliverables: Final plans and specifications, final cost
estimate, bid tabulation, and bid recommendation
Task 3: Construction Services Phase
Bolton & Menk will administer the construction contract
and provide construction-related services as noted in the
following tasks:
Subtask 3.1: Manage Construction Meetings
Bolton & Menk will prepare meeting agendas and minutes
for all meetings, including a preconstruction meeting. We
may have monthly progress meetings, which will depend
on the contractor’s schedule.
Subtask 3.2: Review Shop Drawings
Bolton & Menk will review and approve all shop drawings.
The major shop drawings will be for pumps, piping, valves,
structure, HVAC, and electrical and controls. Bolton &
Menk will provide the City with final copies of all shop
drawings for the City’s records.
Subtask 3.3: Coordinate Geotechnical Services
Based on the geotechnical consultant selected, we will
coordinate any geotechnical services required for the
construction phase. Geotechnical testing should be
relatively minimal and consist of soil compaction and
concrete testing. Similar to the preliminary design phase,
Bolton & Menk will coordinate this work and geotechnical
work will be billed directly to the City.
Subtask 3.4: Process Pay Requests
Bolton & Menk will review pay requests and provide a
recommendation to the City for payment.
Subtask 3.5: Prepare Operation and Maintenance Manuals
and As-Builts
Bolton & Menk will review manufacturer Operation and
Maintenance (O&M) manuals for completeness. Once they
are approved, we will submit the final O&M manuals to the
City. As-builts will be prepared and based on the actual lift
station construction.
Subtask 3.6: Coordinate Start-Up Services
Bolton & Menk will work with the contractor to coordinate
the start-up of the lift station, including start-up of the
pumps and controls system.

Subtask 3.7: Provide Part-Time Construction Observation
Bolton & Menk will provide construction observation
services for all critical aspects of booster station
construction. Observation will be conducted for excavation,
booster station construction, pump installation, electrical
and controls, building work, and HVAC work. Construction
observation services will be provided on an hourly basis.
Subtask 3.8: Provide Construction Staking
Bolton & Menk will provide construction staking for the
new booster station.
Subtask 3.9: Operator Training/Project Close-Out
Bolton & Menk will provide operator training for the new
booster station. Training will be provided for both the
pump operation and the controls aspects of the lift station.
The O&M manuals from Subtask 3.5 will be integral for
operator training. Bolton & Menk will assist with providing
project close-out documents from the contractor and assist
with processing the final payment according to the contract
documents. The contract documents will provide a two-
year warranty on the building and equipment. Bolton &
Menk will assist the City with contacting the contractor to
remedy any warranty items that occur during the two-year
warranty.
Deliverables: Final copies of shop drawings, pay
requests, O&M manuals, as-builts
Schedule
We suggest moving the bid date to September 12, 2017 to allow for at least three weeks of advertising. Another reason
to move the bid date is that September 5th is the day after Labor Day and may not be a good day to bid a project. Based
on this schedule, we expect the City Council would award the project on September 25th and contracts would then
be initiated and signed by the contractor over approximately three weeks. Sometime around October 17, 2017 the
preconstruction meeting would be held and fully executed contracts provided to the contractor. Once the contractor
has fully executed contracts, they will begin issuing purchase orders for the equipment and materials; and then the
manufacturers will generate and submit shop drawings for review. We expect the shop drawing process (submittals,
reviews, etc.) and ordering of equipment will take close to two months, if not longer, and likely little to no construction
will be completed in 2017. Equipment delivery may take 12 to 16 weeks after shop drawings have been approved. We
expect the majority of the construction to occur in 2018 with a June 2018 completion date suggested. A detailed
schedule is provided on the following page.
Real challenges require real solutions.
We deliver.

Project Experience
Project Experience
Bolton & Menk has assembled an experienced team of
professionals with a proven track record of delivering
similar projects. Our team is proficient in working together
on water plan updates.
We have completed multiple projects for the City of Prior
Lake and have highlighted some of those projects below
to demonstrate our knowledge of the City. We feel this
experience is important and provides us with a unique
understanding of the City’s needs.
In addition, we have highlighted several booster station
projects our team has delivered using a similar approach
and/or with similar elements. We will draw upon this
experience to benefit the Summit Preserve Booster Station.
Additional project experience is available upon request.
Water Treatment Plant, City of Prior Lake
The City of
Prior Lake
retained
Bolton &
Menk to
provide
engineering
services
for the
construction
of a 7.5
MGD iron
and manganese removal water treatment facility to improve
the quality of the City’s drinking water. The facility
consists of two induced draft aerators, a detention tank, six
dual media gravity filters, a 1.5 MG clearwell/reservoir,
and a three-cell reclaim tank. A full SCADA system linking
the treatment facility with existing wells, elevated towers,
and booster stations is also part of the treatment system.
Because the facility was constructed in a residential
development, architectural and landscaping features were
important components of the design. The facility began
operation in March 2009.
In addition to the design, Bolton & Menk assisted the City
with a filter evaluation which evaluates the heart of the
water treatment facility, the filters. The filter evaluation has
been valuable for optimizing treatment. Through the filter
evaluation we have learned that filter bed growth is caused
by media growth, meaning the existing media has grown
in size due to the media being coated with a manganese
oxide. Treatment is still very good and the evaluation has
also led to modifications to the backwash sequence and
modifications to the chemical feed equipment.
Water System Model, City of Prior Lake
The City of Prior Lake retained Bolton & Menk to update
the City’s water model. Bolton & Menk updated the model
to include new developments and has frequently used the
model to look at new development areas and how to best
serve those areas. In addition, we have used the model to
look at areas that may be due for a rehabilitation. Using
the modeling software, we are able to determine if there
are any needed watermain changes. We have also used the
model to determine the effects of removing a tower from
service for inspection or repairs. An accurate water model
is an invaluable tool for planning with the water system.
Joint Water System with SMSC
Bolton & Menk has worked with both the City of Prior
Lake and SMSC on joint water ventures between the two
communities. Since the communities are adjacent to each
other, there have been opportunities to look at partnering
on water projects. The two communities first partnered
on the north water treatment plant where the City of Prior
Lake purchased water capacity from SMSC when SMSC
expanded their existing north water treatment facility. More
recently, the City and SMSC are discussing the possibility
of a joint water treatment facility that would provide the
City with the treatment capacity to meet future demand.
Booster Station, Rahr Malting, Co.
The Rahr Malting Booster Station consists of an 80,000
gallon concrete storage tank, two 2,250 gpm pumps with
VFD speed control, and a pressure reducing valve to
control system pressure. Water from a separate well is
pumped into the 80,000 gallon storage tank. The water
from this storage tank is used to supplement an existing
50 psi water supply system. If the existing system cannot
furnish the water demand, the booster station pumps
We believe in the power of face-to-face meetings, friendly
conversations, and a collaborative decision-making process to
keep your projects on schedule, within budget, and focused on
real, workable solutions.

provide the additional water required. If the existing system
has excess water, the well is stopped and the water from the
existing system fills the storage tank utilizing the pressure
reducing valve.
Booster Station, Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC)
The SMSC Booster Station is the interconnection point
between the Community’s south water system and north
water system. The south water system is 76 feet higher
than the north water system. Two 500 gpm pumps with
VFD speed control are used to supply water from the
north system to the south system. A modulating plug
valve is used to furnish water from the south system to
the north system. A magnetic flow meter will monitor the
flow between each system and pressure transmitters will
monitor the separate pressure of each system. The operator
will use the tower level of the system the water is being
transferred to in order to control the speed of the pump(s)
or control the position of the valve. The existing fiber-optic
SCADA system will be used to monitor the volume of
water transferred and provide remote control of the pumps
or modulating valve based on the tower level and systems
pressure.
Hope Avenue Booster Station, City of Jordan
The Hope Avenue pump station serves a housing
development in the western part of Jordan. The City has
three pressure zones: low, intermediate, and high. The
Hope Avenue booster station delivers water from the
intermediate system to the high-pressure zone. The pump
station has three pumps operated by variable frequency
drives and a bladder tank for pressure regulation. Two
pumps are rated at 1,000 gpm, while the other pump is
rated at 500 gpm. The pump station is accompanied by a
standby generator. Bolton & Menk provided design and
construction engineering services for the construction of
the Hope Avenue Booster Station. Industrial Park Booster Station, City of Fairmont
The City of Fairmont sought to expand their water service
to an industrial park area in a high-pressure zone within
the City. Bolton & Menk developed a water distribution
model to separate the existing system and the future system
into two separate pressure zones. The project involved
construction of a new booster pump station to serve both
high- and low-pressure zones.
The pump station has four pumps that take water from a
ground storage tank and deliver it to elevated storage tanks
in two different pressure zones. One 2,500 gpm rated 200
HP pump and a 1,000 gpm rated 60 HP pump serve the
higher elevation industrial park, while one 2,000 gpm rated
125 HP pump and a 1,000 gpm rated 60 HP pump serve the
low-pressure zone. The pump station contains a standby
generator. All pumps are provided with variable frequency
drives to control the pump flow rates. Bolton & Menk
provided design and construction engineering services for
booster station.
River Heights Booster Station, City of Red Wing
The new sub-divisions in the higher elevation areas of
Charlson Crest and River Heights had low water pressure.
To solve this problem, a booster station was constructed
in the River Heights area and an elevated water tower was
constructed in the Charlson Crest area.
The pump station has three pumps: one pump rated at
1,500 gpm, one pump rated at 500 gpm, and one pump
rated at 100 gpm. The pump station is provided with
a standby generator. Bolton & Menk provided design
services for construction of the Red Wing River Heights
Booster Station.

Water Booster Station, City of Buffalo
Due to low pressure in the northeast corner of the City,
Buffalo recently divided its water services into two zones:
a low-pressure zone and a high-pressure zone. The low-
pressure zone is served by the water treatment facility
and the high-pressure zone has a 250,000 gallon elevated
water storage facility, which is served by a two-pump
water booster station. The water booster station, which
was constructed as an above-ground brick building, has
a capacity of 2,500 gpm and operates with a variable
frequency drive.

Dear Ms. Thompson:
As Prior Lake grows and new development calls for additional water service, the Summit Preserve Booster Station
will become an important part of the City’s infrastructure. This new booster station will provide sufficient flows and
pressures for domestic water use. Stantec will carefully evaluate the entire Summit Preserve area so that the existing
water system in conjunction with the new booster station is capable of delivering all required domestic and fire flow uses.
The Stantec team proposed for this project has worked together for decades helping communities like Prior Lake grow.
We have designed and constructed a variety of booster stations, lift stations, and pumping stations across the Twin
Cities Metropolitan Area, including the 4,000 gpm booster station for the City of Savage. Our team will work efficiently
to provide the appropriate design and construction services that will allow the Summit Preserve Booster Station to serve
the City for many years to come.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require any additional information to aid you in your decision making
process. We are ready to start work!

City of Prior Lake – Proposal for Summit Preserve Booster Station
Project Understanding
The City of Prior Lake wishes to expand its water service area into the
Summit Preserve Area. This area is approximately defined as the 160 acres
of land north of Co. Rd. 42 between Co. Rd. 18 and Kensington Avenue. The
existing elevations in this area generally run from 1,010 to 1,020 for most
of the site, with elevations over 1,040 in the northeast portion of the study
extent.
A preliminary investigation of this
area shows the nearby water tower
with a height of 96.5 feet to the Low
Water Level based on the tower
nameplate. With a ground elevation of
approximately 995 and a 40-foot head
range, this means that the High Water
Level of the tower is at an elevation
of approximately 1,130. This would
result in static pressure in the range of
48 to 52 psi for the lower areas of the
Summit Preserve and down to 37 psi
for the higher elevations in Summit
Preserve.
Generally speaking, satisfactory pressures typically are in the range of 40 to
80 psi. From a first look, it appears that some of the Summit Preserve area
may not need to be served from a boosted system. This question will be the
focus of the feasibility report phase of the project. In 2007, the system was
modeled and the result of that modeling showed the need for a booster station.
However, that modeling was performed based on a land use that included
multi-story apartment buildings. The current planning calls for single family
homes and townhomes. These assumptions will change the needed flow rates
and the resulting residual pressures. These changes also mean there is a great
chance that some of the Summit Preserve area could be served without the
addition of a booster station.
2
Our water
team focuses
on affordable,
reliable, and
safe supply for
Minnesota’s
communities.
The primary focus of the feasibility report task of this project will be to
determine the need for a booster station and to develop how much of the area
must be served by that booster station. The City’s existing hydraulic model
will serve as the base for the analysis, with new components added to serve the
Summit Preserve. Residual pressures will be determined by using the results of
the extended period simulation from the system model to accurately establish
tower elevations for the water tower located in the southeast corner of Co. Rd.
42 and Co. Rd. 18. This tower elevation has the most direct impact to the residual
pressures that will be available in the Summit Preserve. Fire flow will also be
evaluated. There is a good chance that fire flows with residual pressures greater
than 20 psi could be provided throughout the study area. This would reduce the
size needed for the booster station and lower the overall project cost.
If the results of the feasibility report show that the booster station is needed for
the entire site, the design report and preparation of the bidding documents will
focus on a booster station. The fee estimated for the project is based on a booster
station that includes the following features:
• Multi-pump booster station with high-efficiency centrifugal pumps in an
above grade structure of block, brick, and precast concrete. Station will be
sized to provide a good pump and piping layout with room for controls and
some level of pneumatic storage equipment. Two pumps will provide for peak
flows and one pump will provide for lower off-peak flows.
• Firm capacity of the station system will be provided by including one extra
pump beyond that needed for the design capacity of the station. Based on
confirmation by the design report, it is anticipated that the booster station
will be sized for domestic flow only and that fire flow will be available from the
lower pressure zone at satisfactory residual pressures.
• Station capacity will be conceptually sized during the feasibility report phase,
and then finalized during the design report phase.
• A control panel will be incorporated into the design of the above grade
structure. Controls will have full input and response to upstream and
downstream pressure transducers within the station and a magnetic flow
meter.
• Check valves and gate valves for isolation will be laid out within the station
that allow the station to be bypassed as well as recirculated for start-up and
testing operations.
• Standby power will be evaluated. At a minimum, a generator receptacle
matched to the City’s existing generators will be incorporated.
• Safety will be considered for all elements including arc-flash and safety
clearances for all equipment.
• Grade will be determined by the grading plan in the area. It will be important
to coordinate with the grading plan for the first phase of the project. Site layout
will include contours and driveway grades to access the station from the street
and to ensure conformance with the surrounding buildings.
• Building architecture and landscaping will be included to make sure that
this booster station is an enhancement to the proposed development.

City of Prior Lake – Proposal for Summit Preserve Booster Station
Project Team
Mark Rolfs will lead our team for the Summit Preserve Booster Station. His team
has a long history of working together on similar booster station projects and
looks forward to delivering the same quality services to the City of Prior Lake.
Our team, their roles, and expected number of hours for this project are provided
below. Full resumes highlighting their relevant experience are provided in the
appendix.
Background,Experience, and
References
We help communities better understand how their water infrastructure can best
meet the needs of residents and customers while remaining sustainable for the
long term.
Regardless of a community’s size, clean and plentiful drinking water is vital to its
health and well-being. Sound and reliable systems for supplying, treating, storing,
and distributing safe water are valuable parts of a municipality’s infrastructure.
From source to customer, your water system protects people and places.
Carefully designed and properly constructed water systems deliver a safe and
reliable supply of water. Efficient distribution benefits residents and businesses
by providing sufficient quantity and pressure for day-to-day needs and fire
protection.
Stantec has been helping communities like Prior Lake grow since our local office
was founded in 1956. Since then, our staff has provided water planning, supply,
conveyance, and treatment design services throughout the Twin Cities area. Our
booster station experience is illustrated on the following pages.

Booster Stations and Water Tower
Savage, Minnesota
Expanding the City’s Boone Service Area required additional supply and storage
capacity. A 4,000-gpm booster station was constructed to pump water from
the lower Credit River Zone. A new 1,000,000-gallon elevated tower provides
pressure in the southern portion of the service area.
The project also included creating a new higher pressure zone to serve 200 homes
in the highest elevation areas of the City. A prefabricated underground pump
station was constructed to supply water to these homes. Pressure-reducing valves
isolate the high pressure zone from the rest of the water system.

City of Prior Lake – Proposal for Summit Preserve Booster Station
Arbor Park Booster Station
Chaska, Minnesota
Stantec originally designed this booster station to create and maintain a new
higher pressure Zone IV in the northern part of Chaska. This area is primarily
industrial with water usage demands met with two 1,000 gallon per minute (gpm)
pumps and a 300-gpm pump. The 300-gpm pump works in conjunction with a
5,000-gallon hydropneumatic tank to maintain system pressure. When demand
exceeds the pump’s capacity, the station automatically switches control to the
larger pumps working in conjunction with a pneumatic pressure control valve.
Originally designed with future development in mind, the system will ultimately
contain three 1,250-gpm pumps that will be controlled from a 0.75-million-
gallon elevated tank. However, the Zone IV pressure area has not developed
at the expected rate, and the booster station continued to operate with the
hydropneumatic tank. After years of operation, the control valves became
problematic. To address this concern, Stantec helped to reconfigure the
interior controls and piping within the booster station to operate with variable
frequency drives. The small pump still operates in conjunction with the
hydropneumatic tank, but the large pumps maintain pressure through a new
programmable logic controller and new variable frequency drives.
The exterior building design was important because the booster station is
located in a highly visible location near the prestigious Hazeltine Golf Course.
The station is earth-bermed on three sides with a tiered retaining wall system.
The architectural and landscaping treatment also incorporates Chaska’s
trademark yellow brick into the retaining wall and its signature green paint on
the ornamental railing.

Well Pumping Facility No. 18
Woodbury, Minnesota
To serve its growing population, the City of Woodbury wanted to construct a new
well to meet increasing water demand. Stantec assisted the City by conducting
a hydrogeologic study, which identified a prime site for new Well No. 18 within
the City’s East Well Field and adjacent to the Dancing Waters residential
development.
The East Well Field consists of three wells that feed the water system through
Pumphouses 15, 16, and 18. The well field’s aquifer performance was a major
concern because it might influence a nearby trout stream, and therefore the well
field is monitored by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to
protect the trout stream.
The City received approval from Minnesota DNR to pump a combined flow of
4,500 gpm from these three wells. Wells 15, 16, and 18 were developed and have
a 2,000-gpm capacity per well. To maintain compliance with the DNR, Stantec
designed control systems that integrate each pumphouse’s individual flow
monitors so that well field flow can be continuously monitored.
Because the proximity of the well to Dancing Waters, Stantec’s pumphouse
design incorporated architectural features that matched the developer’s building
requirements. Pumping Facility 18 incorporates architectural shingles, vertical
siding, and a cultured stone wainscot on the building exterior to match the
adjacent properties. A natural appearing buffer was incorporated as part of the
landscape plan. This buffer was planted with native and wildflower seed mixes to
produce an attractive turf while reducing maintenance for the City.

City of Prior Lake – Proposal for Summit Preserve Booster Station
Mark Rolfs, with 37 years of experience at Stantec, leads Stantec’s water/
wastewater group in St. Paul. Mark’s primary responsibilities include engineering
for both water and wastewater. For water systems, he is proficient in hydraulic
modeling analysis, well pumphouses, water booster pumping stations, and water
storage reservoirs. He is skilled at using multiple software’s to perform computer
hydraulic analyses for water distribution systems, lift stations, and pumphouse
designs. For wastewater, his primary focus is on the hydraulic performance of
sanitary sewer lift stations and wastewater plant pump flows. Mark has designed
over 100 pumphouses, booster stations, and lift stations for more than 45 local
communities.
Relevant Project Experience
Booster Stations and Water Tower, Savage, Minnesota – Mark was principal in
charge for a 4,000 gallon per minute booster station and a new 1,000,000 gallon
elevated tower. The project also included creating a new higher pressure zone
to serve 200 homes in the highest elevation areas of the City. A prefabricated
underground pump station was constructed to supply water to these homes.
Pressure-reducing valves isolate the high pressure zone from the rest of the water
system
Arbor Park Booster Station, Chaska, Minnesota– Mark was principal in charge
for the original design of this 2,000-gpm booster station to create and maintain a
new higher pressure for the northern part of Chaska. He also assisted the City with
subsequent system reconfigurations. The station is earth-bermed on three sides
with a tiered retaining wall system. The architectural and landscaping treatment
also incorporates Chaska’s trademark yellow brick into the retaining wall and its
signature green paint on the ornamental railing.
Pump Station No. 4, Minneapolis, Minnesota – Mark was responsible for the
hydraulic and mechanical design for all of the new pumps in this facility. The
project involved renovating a 100-year-old, 70 mgd, 6,500 horsepower facility.
Due to its age, numerous building and infrastructure conditions were disclosed
that required re-engineering to sustain long-term remedies for the client.
Water Storage Reservoirs – Hydropillars, Standpipes, & Ground Storage
Reservoirs – One of the most experienced water tower engineers in Minnesota,
Mark has designed and inspected hydropillars, standpipes, and ground storage
reservoirs for more than 60 communities in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
His designs take long-term operation and maintenance into account, while
considering vandalism prevention, storage, and communication applications.
Sizes range from 200,000-gallon tanks to 5,000,000-gallon reservoirs.
Water Supply and Distribution Plan, Chaska, Minnesota – Mark has been the
primary modeler for the City of Chaska’s water system model for the past 23
years. He has used his modeling expertise on many occasions to analyze changes
to the distribution system. Most recently, the routing of the new Highway 212
section through Chaska caused significant alterations to Chaska’s trunk water
system.

by adding a second filter cell room, backwash tank, lunch room, conference room,
bacteria lab, and a second restroom.
Water Treatment Facility, Carver, Minnesota – Stantec provided planning,
design, contract administration, and construction engineering services for
this water treatment plant that was the first in the City of Carver. We provided
expertise regarding radium removal, due to the high levels of radium in Carver.
SW Water Treatment Plant, Sartell, Minnesota – Bruce worked closely with
the City staff to develop an exterior design that used the same materials as the
existing North Water Treatment Facility and adding a few other materials to
give this facility its’ own identity while keeping it recognizable as a City-owned
facility. This project involved the design and construction of a new 6 MGD
conventional gravity filter plant for iron and manganese removal. The plant was
designed to be easily expanded to 16 MGD.
Water Treatment Facility No. 3, Wayzata, Minnesota – The new Wayzata
Water Treatment Facility No. 3 replaces the existing Water Treatment Plant No.
1 located at the same site. Bruce worked closely with City staff, neighbors, and
City Council members to develop an exterior treatment that complied with the
stringent City of Wayzata design guidelines. This project involved the design
and construction of a new 3 MGD conventional gravity filter plant for iron and
manganese removal.
Sanitary Lift Station No. 39, Moorhead, Minnesota – Bruce was the project
architect. The project involved the construction of 6,600 GPM quad centrifugal
pump lift station of cast-in-place concrete wet well/dry well design with variable
frequency drives. The project also included masonry structure above-grade to
enclose controls and approximately 4,000 linear feet of 24-inch PVC forcemain.
Lift Station #1 Reconstruction, Sartell, Minnesota – Bruce was the project
architect. The project includes replacing the City’s main sanitary sewer lift
station through which all wastewater from the City flows. A new lift station
location was required due to space constraints at the existing site. The new site
involved constructing the station into the side of a hill. This offered economies
for depth as the station was mostly exposed on one side. Twin 18” forcemains
discharge from this station some seven miles into the City of St. Cloud.
