2. REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION OF PLANS FOR WATERMAIN
PROJECT AND ORDER ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS.
Dresel presented the plans and specifications for the Watermain Project to the City Council. He
outlined the plans for the each segment of watermain to be constructed and explained his
recommendations for bidding the project. He suggested that, due to the difficulty and cost of
moving fiberoptic cable owned by U.S. West in the Manitou Road right-of-way, a directional
boring technique be bid. He explained that a box construction technique would be used in certain
areas to minimize the need to cut into the roadway, and that augering service lines under the road
would also be done to minimize road repairs. Directional boring would also be bid along
Edgewood Road where conventional construction would be difficult and costly. He also stated
that Clow Medallion Hydrants were specified as approved equals to the hydrants the City now
utilizes in deference to a reQuest by Munitech..
Benson asked if construction would begin this fall, and Dresel acknowledged that it would if
acceptable bids were received. Dresel stated that only 600 feet of trench for installing the watermain
would be open at anyone time to minimize problems with road conditions. He stated that the
project would be staged to construct Howard's Point RoadlEdgewood Road.frrst, Smithtown Road
second and Manitou Road last.
Dresel explained that the location of the water tower on the Minnewashta School property was still
to be worked out with the School District.
Bean asked whether the project would be bid with all construction options -- directional boring,
box construction and conventional construction -- for all areas, or only certain options. Dresel
replied that conditions would dictate the method of construction and the bidding option.
Dresel stated that sealcoating of affected roads is included in the specifications to make the roads
uniform upon the completion of the project.
