Upper Lakeview/Rigi Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) pit        12/20/18

Project Description and Cost Detail        

Scope Described

Update PRV set up by separating the lines between the zones covered by this PRV.  This project is a high priority as customers are negatively impacted by water pressures in this zone.  Separating the lines will allow for reduction of pressure to customers on Lakeview and Oak Ridge while maintaining and supplying adequate pressure to customers on Upper Lakeview.   

Separation of lines into 3 segments complies with the 2005 Water System Master Plan as well as allows for improved metering of zone to aid in leak detection and updates valve access when reading meter.  Also allows for improved access when an adjustment is needed to the PRV for pressure stabilizing within zone. 

Cost Detail

$36,140 as shown on spreadsheet for PRV pit #1

$34,700 as shown on spreadsheet for PRV pit #2

$34,700 as shown on spreadsheet for PRV pit #3

PRV pit #1 proposed for 2019; remaining work to be proposed for future years.   

Funding will be from water usage fees. 

All figures are from contractor quotation and equipment price from the supplier; ledge blasting is estimated.  If the $5,000 for ledge removal is not used, the funds will be placed into the water system Capital Reserve Fund.

    The current bid for a Dodge 3500 and associated uplifting has an estimated cost of
    $110,000.02. The current uplifting includes plow and sander and the necessary support
    equipment. The Ford F550 has experienced very high maintenance costs, has been unreliable
    at critical times and has reached the end of its useful life and requires replacement, What is
    unclear will be sale and or salvage value of the current Ford F550 and sander and plow
    equipment and where to place those monies. The Commissioners are evaluating trade-in
    value, outright sale with sander and plow and sale or truck, sander and plow as separate
    items. The current Capital Reserve Fund has $25,000 as a down payment for the replacement
    vehicle, question at hand should the sale value of the current Ford F550 and its equipment be
    applied to the purchase price of the new vehicle or redeposited back into the Capital Reserve
    Fund, no decision or recommendation resulted at today’s meeting. The current expected life of
    the new Dodge 3500 is five (5) years.
    Mike Smith questions the timing of the replacement of the Ford F550 and the current planned

    Roads
    Discussion around the road projects and information provided by Kelly on the estimated cost of
    gravel and shim as well as the prioritization of the proposed projects. Ralph Lutjen suggests
    greater detail needs to be developed by kelly and included in the upcoming annual meeting. As
    well discussion around evolution the timing of various tank projects to insure road upgrades
    will not be completed before planned tank replacements which may require extensive heavy
    equipment use of the roads and damage new or upgraded road surfaces. A review will be
    scheduled.
    Mike Smith asks if we should budget an additional $1,000.00 in the gravel budget should extra
    work be needed, it was also suggested the tank project could carry a contingency amount for
    potential road repairs that result from the tank replacement.
    Discussion on the closing of the Grison and Burgdorf was included as part of the roads CIP
    review. Nancy Cole provided an update on creating the two dead end streets, she has reached
    out for input from local officials, more to follow in December.
