o SEH Proposal
City Council Report 96 -62
The 1990 City of Hopkins Water and Sewer Utility Master Plan
identified the replacement of lift station 15 as a Phase One
(critical) sanitary sewer system project. The current Capital
Improvement Plan calls for preparation of plans and specifications in
1996 and construction in 1997. The lift station is old with equipment
that's difficult to inspect or maintain and the building is severely
deteriorated and needs to be replaced. Staff solicited and received
professional services proposals from SEH, Inc., RCM, Inc. and MSA
Consulting Engineers. A committee reviewed each proposal and selected
SEH, Inc. as the most qualified firm. Staff proposes to complete
design and construction in 1996. The lift station has required
significant maintenance this year and sewer utility funds are
available to permit 1996 construction.

Analysis of Issues.
SEH, Inc. Qualifications
SEH is a long - established architectural - engineering firm with offices
in St. Paul and Minnetonka. SEH's project manager and design engineer
for this project is Mr. Dan Boxrud from the Minnetonka office. Mr.
Boxrud has 24 years of experience in municipal egineering.
Additionally, he has extensive lift station design experience having
completed successful projects similar to ours in Oakdale, Mounds View,
Lino Lakes, Shakopee and Minnetonka. SEH's proposal showed a strong
understanding of our needs and did a good job of defining the
necessary scope of services.
Professional Services Fees
SEH has agreed to provide the full breadth of professional services
for a fee not -to- exceed $36,930.00. These services would include
preliminary design, final design, equipment acquisition work, and all
construction- related services. This fee corresponds to 14.7% of the
estimated $250,000 construction cost. This is a fair and reasonable
fee.
4 Project Scope and Schedule
The project will include demolition of the existing building;
construction of a new wet -well lift station; new liner in existing
force main, a new utility building to house the emergency power
generator set, motor controls, local control and SCADA equipment; and
site improvements. The anticipated project schedule is as follows:
o Approval of equipment acquisition: May 21, 1996
o Design completion: June 17, 1996
o Bid Opening: July 9, 1996
o Project Award: July 16, 1996
o Construction Completion: Sept 27, 1996

in 1997 at an estimated cost of $250,000.
LS-6 is scheduled to coincide with the proposed County Road 3 improvements.
Certain lift stations have been identified in need of reconstruction or repair. Various
reasons such as safety concerns, pumping capacity, condition and obsolete parts
contibuted to this need.
FUTURE
Excerpt -Water and Sewer Utility Master Plan - 1990
RCM 14021.01
Determining infiltration of groundwater into the sewer system is beyond the scope of this
report; however, determining infiltration and locating sources would be difficult since the
City does not monitor flow rates other than MWCC billing information. Infiltration of
groundwater would be expected with an older vitrified clay pipe system, such as the City's.
The City of Hopkins pumps all of their sewage to the Metropolitan Wastewater Control
Commission. According to MWCC Hopkins paid for 1.65 million gallons per day of sewage
service during 1989. This sewage production is about 77% of water use. The differences
can be accounted by losses in the sanitary sewer system, non - metered residences discharging
to other systems, lawn watering, and once through cooling water systems. 1989 was also a
very dry year. The City should monitor sewage flows at the major lift stations and MWCC
billings to measure actual infiltration /inflow conditions.
5.7 LIFT STATIONS
The City owns and maintains seven lift stations. The locations are shown on Figure 5.
Station Nos. 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7 have been reliable with only normal maintenance work
required. Stations 1, 2, and 3 are small capacity stations.
Station No. 2 is an ejector type lift station with a history of maintenance and reliability
problems and should be replaced with a submersible pumping station.
Station No. 5 at Meadowbrook Golf Course is old and has been extensively remodeled. The
remodeling appears to have been done to save money and not to allow easy maintenance.
The pumps are new, but installed to make inspection and maintenance difficult. The
concrete in the wetwell is severely deteriorated due to corrosive flows from local industries
and from anaerobic gas production and a lack of adequate ventilation. The pump station
building is old and in need of repair and rebuilding.

include representatives from the CITY and/or other involved governmental agencies. If the
Contractor has fulfilled all of his obligations, SEH may give written notice to the CITY that the
work is acceptable for final payment.
8. SEH shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of any Contractor, or of any subcontractor
or supplier, or any of the Contractor(s)' or subcontractor's or supplier's agents or employees or any
other persons (except SEH'S employees and agents) at the site or otherwise furnishing or
performing any of the Contractor's work.
