~ 0 What is the purpose of a capital Improvements Plan?
The Capital Improvements Plan is a five-year forecast of project and
equipment needs in the city of Hopkins. It 1S intended to alert the
Council and citizens to the major capital needs on the horizon. The
Capital Improvements Plan is intended to be a planning tool and is
structured to present a meaningful, long-range perspective of the
City's capital programming needs. At the same time, sufficient
program details are provided to enable those who review the
information to make informed decisions on the program projects over
the next five years. The first year of the plan presumes an adopted
capi tal budget. The remaining four years represent an estimate of
project needs and funding capabilities of the city.
o What are the highlights of the proposed plan?
The proposed five-year Capital Improvements Plan, not including
equipment replacement needs, outlines projects totaling $23,083,259
over the 1995-1999 period. This compares with total projects
amounting to over $19.4 million in the current five-year Capital
Improvements Plan (1994-1998).
For 1995, $1,634,000 in capital projects are proposed. Major
projects within the Capital Improvements Plan for 1995 include:
~ 0 SS-2 Nine Mile Creek Improvements $300,000

. MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 1, 1994
TO: Honorable Mayor and city Council
FROM: Lee Gustafson, Public Works Director ~.

SUBJECT: MOLINE WATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS
During Council's review of the ClP at the August 9th work
session, staff was requested to provide additional information
regarding the improvements proposed for the Moline Treatment
Plant (Well #1) in 1995. The information listed below is
intended for that purpose and is broken into 3 general areas for
ease of explanation.
A. Well #1 Building Improvements
Description:
The following improvements are recommended at Well #1
Building:
. 1. Repair/replace roof
2 . Square off building to create room for:
a. more pumps
b. chemical feed room
c. larger garage
3 . Replace building windows
4. Add three (3) OH garage doors
5. Remove existing filtration equipment
6. Reconstruct chemical feed system
7. Install generator connection
8. Overhaul well pump #1
Justification:
The proposed improvements will upgrade the appearance of the
facility and reduce the operator activities at this site.
Operational Considerations:
The chlorination system relocation into a separate heated
room will reduce the amount of cold weather maintenance
outside. No safety scrubber facilities are required for
this facility due to this type of chlorine usage. Operation
activities should be reduced.
Well #1 standby operation should reduce the amount of
operation and maintenance activities at the well site. A
. periodic operation of the well will be programmed to test
the well operation and operate the facilities. During the
building renovation, Well #1 pump will be overhauled. A new
motor will be installed at this time.

~ . Water Treatment Improvements memo
The mothballing of the treatment facilities and discharge
. pump should reduce the amount of maintenance activities
required. The added space will be available for generator
storage and equipment storage.
B. Reconstruct Booster Pump station
Description:
The following improvements are recommended for the booster
pump station:
1. Replace High service Pump (HSP) with a vertical turbine
pump
2 . Provide space for future vertical pumps
3. Provide a computer (PLC) to control Pump station
Justification:
The proposed pumps will be more energy efficient and take
less space in the facility. The installation of the PLC
will allow the operators to monitor all water department
operations at this site.
operational Considerations:
The booster pumping station will be expanded to include a
new vertical turbine booster pump. The operation and
. maintenance is expected to be similar to the existing pump
station.
A PLC based control system will improve the flexibility of
the booster pumping system, and the radio telemetry system
will result in abandoning the use of telephone lines and
create a cost reduction.
c. Ground storage Tank
Description:
The following improvements are recommended at the Ground
storage Tank:
1. Connect fill to distribution system
2 . Remove electric fill valve
Justification:
The existing fill valve is not functioning at this time. In
addition, the valve's location makes repair virtually
impossible.
Operational Considerations:
The electric ground storage fill valve will be replaced and
relocated into the building. A reduced amount of
. maintenance is anticipated with this change.
