MEMORANDUM 04-77

To: Walt Wrede, City Manager

From: Carey Meyer, Public Works Director

Date: May 4, 2004

Subject: Proposed Homer Ice Rink - Water and Sewer Service Design

After evaluating several options regarding how water and sewer service should be provided to the new ice rink; Public Works has determined that the best option is to extend a water and sewer service to the building site from Lake Street. This option will provide service to the first phase of building construction in the most cost effective manner by the end of the summer, so that the first phase of facility development can operate this winter. The attached drawing shows the location of these water and sewer connections.

The design of the road improvements for Waddell Way (and the water and sewer mains that will most probably be located within the right-of-way) will need to be designed later this fall and construction of these improvements will need to be completed by the end of the summer of 2005. These improvements will include hydrants on the west side of the building that are required to provide fire protection to the complete facility (final phases are not expected to be complete until the end of the summer 2005). Once we know more about what the interests are of adjacent property, we will request additional authorization to proceed with the required road access improvements to the ice rink facility.

Public Works will plan and provide preliminary designs for the water and sewer connections. The most cost effective way to produce construction plans will be to contract with the engineer completing the ice rink site improvements and incorporate this design into the overall site development plans.

Construction Costs:

Water Service 160 lf of 6’ service line $16,000

Sewer Service 230 lf of 6” service line $65,000

Contingency (10%) $7,500

Total Construction= $78,500

Design/Inspection Costs:

Prepare construction documents $12,000

Inspection/record drawings $5,500

Total Design/Inspection= $17,500

Total Project= $96,000

Recommendation: Council authorize the use of HAWSP funds to complete the design and construction of these improvements and authorize the City manager to execute all documents necessary to complete the design and construction of these water and sewer service improvements.
