ITEM: 5C
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 27, 2026
PREPARED BY: Christine Watson, Public Works Supervisor – Administration
Phil Ryan, Public Works Supervisor – Utilities
PRESENTED BY: Nick Monserud, Public Works Director/City Engineer
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Receiving Quotes and Awarding a Contract for Control
Panel Replacement at Three City Lift Stations
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution to receive quotes and award a contract for control panel replacement at three
city lift stations.
BACKGROUND:
The City operates 41 sanitary lift stations that manage the wastewater conveyance into the
Metropolitan Council system for treatment at the Blue Lake wastewater treatment plant in
Shakopee. Our existing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for sanitary
sewer provides monitoring capabilities only, but not the desired remote control capabilities.
On July 17, 2023, the City Council approved a work order with Barr Engineering to conduct an
evaluation of the City’s SCADA system for both the water supply system and the sanitary sewer
system. Barr Engineering provided city staff with a report of recommendations in August 2024.
This report outlined the changes that are needed at each lift station to fully integrate them into the
SCADA system. In accordance with Barr recommendations, staff is proposing panel replacements
at three lift stations in 2026: Breezy Point, Shady Beach, and Sycamore. This will bring the total
number of lift stations that are fully integrated into the SCADA system to 10 (out of 41).
Staff have received a quote from Total Control Systems, Inc. in the amount of $156,233 to provide,
install, and program the three new control panels at the Breezy Point, Shady Beach, and
Sycamore lift stations. The staff at Total Control Systems, Inc. have performed a significant
amount of work on our sanitary sewer system components in the past and are familiar with the
current setup and programming, including the master telemetry unit which was updated in
February 2024. Using a single-source contractor for this type of work is desirable to maintain
consistency, continuity, and efficiency for this critically important function of wastewater
management.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Sewer Utility Fund includes $500,000 per year from 2025 - 2029 for SCADA upgrades in both
the water and sewer systems. There will be some additional charges (estimated to be $7,500 or
less) for electrical work once the new panels are installed.
