A Motion to Adopt a Resolution Accepting Bids and A warding Contract for the
Freeman Park Sewer and Water Project.
Engineer Brown reviewed the proposed project which includes the installation of sanitary sewer to
service Eddy Station and a necessary watermain loop in and adjacent to Freeman Park. Bids were
received, opened, and tabulated on September 27th, 2000. The lowest responsible bidder was found to be
Thomas and Sons, Inc. for a base bid amount of $203,485.00. In addition, a total bid was received of
$231,590.00 which includes a Bid Alternate 1. Engineer Brown explained that Bid Alternate 1 includes
an additional 555 lineal feet of 8-inch watermain along the LRT Trail. The bid received by Thomas and
Sons, Inc. was the low bid under both categories.
Mayor Love asked if the properties of 6065, 5985, 5965 would have municipal water service available to
them as part of this project. Engineer Brown stated that the City has not proposed the extension of
watermain services to the east side of Eureka Road. However, in the event one of these property owners
decided to connect to the new main, they could seek out a contractor to directional bore a service across
Eureka Road.
Councilmember Garfunkel asked if service stubs are going to be installed for properties that are adjacent
the LRT Trail. Engineer Brown reported that the Hennepin County Regional Rail Authority desires that
construction be minimized along the route. In addition, properties along the watermain route have
service available from Smithtown Road.

Councilmemeber Lizee inquired if the proposed watermain completes the loop for the Shorewood Oaks,
Shorewood Ponds and west system. Engineer Brown stated that the inclusion of Add Alternate 1 does
establish the watermain loop desired.
Councilmember Zerby inquired about obtaining an easement across the property of 25805 Eureka Way to
minimize the jogs in the alignment. Engineer Brown, stated that condemnation would be required to
obtain such an easement. Therefore, the alignment of the watermain was revised to exclude that
property.
Engineer Brown, stated the portion of watermain along the LRT Trail will be located on the north side of
the trail. This alignment was chosen to minimize impacts to trees. Property owners along the trail were
notified and visited by Brown to help address any concerns they might have. The walking trail will
remain open during construction.

A warding Contract for the Freeman Park Sewer and Watermain Improvement Project. Motion
