RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Works Committee November 19, 1992 Committee: Attending Also Attending: Chairman Habecker, Trustees Barker and Gillette All Town Administrator Klaphake, Public Works Director Linnane, Water Superintendent Bob Goehring, Deputy Clerk Kuehl Absent: None Chairman Habecker called the meeting to order at 10:00 A.M. WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS Harold Busch, homeowner in the Peak View Subdivision, has requested a 2" water main upsizing in his area to accommodate a fire hydrant. The closest hydrant to Mr. Busch's residence is 1,100 feet, with 1,000 feet being the standard. These projects are funded through the Looping Project and are prioritized as follows: 1. Leaking pipes. 2. Low pressure areas. 3. Inadequate fire protection in high density areas. 4. Inadequate fire protection in low density areas. The Committee recommends that Mr. Busch's request be denied until monies and circumstances warrant a change, and that Director Linnane send a letter to Mr. Busch stating the reasons for this decision. GLACIER CREEK WATER TREATMENT PLANT REHABILITATION PROJECT The Glacier Water Treatment Plant supplies 50% of the Town's needs through the summertime and is also used as a backup for maintenance needs at the Marys Lake Water Treatment Plant. Three components of the rehabilitation project are to expand the facility, paint the exterior and add a new entrance, and upgrade the filter area. The Committee recommends approval of the low bid, $175,830.00, submitted by Benson Construction for the Glacier Creek Water Treatment Plant Facility Improvement project. The cost for the design of the facility improvements at the water plant were originally $6,800. RMC is requesting to increase this scope of service cost to $13,672, since the scope has been expanded. This cost can be financed through remaining capital balance. This work has been completed. The Committee recommends that the additional $6,872 be paid to RMC, bringing the total cost to $13,672, with the stipulation that future requests be submitted to the Committee before the work is completed. MARYS LAKE WATER TREATMENT PLANT The Committee reviewed Change Order #011, which includes the following: Fill propane tank, add modem and interior wiring for modem to laboratory, miscellaneous small piping upgrades and upgrades to intrusion alarm system. The Committee recommends approval of Change Order #011 in the amount of $1,888.45, to include the possibility that the actual cost may be less due to a question on the validity of the cost of the propane tank fill. Trustee Gillette abstained. BRADFORD PUBLISHING CO.

REPORTS The Committee reviewed the Customer Service Response and Monthly Water Reports for October. Director Linnane gave a water consultant update. The water augmentation draft will be reviewed by staff and Town Attorney and will appear on the agenda as soon as possible. The water tap fee study is in draft, will be reviewed by staff and RMC, and will appear on the agenda for finalization in January. A request from Dr. Durward for lot paving that was denied by the Rec District was cash flowed through the Public Works Overlay Project. Dr. Durward has repaid half of this cost, $3,264.50, and will reimburse the rest at a later date. The owners of Marys Lake Lodge had requested a 2" potable water tap but the Committee previously rejected that request. The Town has been supplying the lodge with bulk water at the bulk water rate, with no contract, per the Town Attorney. The owners still feel they have a right to the 2" potable tap, but without proper documentation, future considerations will be denied. Town Administrator Klaphake reported on the warranty work being done at the Conference Center as follows: 1. Replace the gas valve in the fire place. May have to ask the Committee to install an impeller for the purpose of updrafting. BRADFORD PUBLISHING CO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Works Committee - November 19, 1992 - Page 3 2.
