Columbia Heights, MN 55421 Re: Proposal for Argonne Sanitary Sewer Lift Station Improvement — Municipal Project #1114 Dear Mr. Hansen: Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal for the Argonne Sanitary Sewer Lift Station Improvement Project. As you examine our qualifications, we believe you will find that Bolton & Menk, Inc. and our team of professionals provide outstanding value in engineering services for the following reasons: STRONG PROJECT MANAGEMENT Kevin Kielb will serve as the Principal Project Manager for this project and will be responsible for coordinating directly with the City on key project issues. Kevin has worked with the City on many past projects and understands the importance of budget control, project scheduling, and delivering high quality projects to the City. EXPERIENCED AND PROVEN TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS Seth Peterson will serve as the Environmental Project Manager and will lead the lift station design tasks. Seth has designed many lift stations in communities such as Shoreview, Eagan and Inver Grove Heights. Mike Carpenter will add more than 27 years of construction management experience to the team and will work with Kevin and Seth during the construction phase of the project. DEPTH OF EXPERIENCE Bolton & Menk has delivered hundreds of lift stations in more than 100 communities. We will draw on this experience to deliver a high quality, cost effective project for Columbia Heights. Thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal. We look forward to serving you and the City of Columbia Heights. Please feel free to contact Kevin or Seth at the numbers listed below if you have any questions or need additional information.

Principal Project Manager Environmental Project Manager Cell Phone (651) 968 -7760 Cell Phone (612) 803 -5223 DESIGNING FOR A BETTER TOMORROW Bolton & Menk is an equal opportunity employer PROJECT APPROACH PROJECT UNDERSTANDING The Argonne Avenue lift station is more than 30 years old and has exceeded the useful life of the facility. During recent inspections, earthen material and metal debris were found at the bottom of the station. Combined with failures experienced with both the pumps and the SCADA equipment, the City has determined that the lift station needs to be replaced in 2012. The base project will consist of installation of a new sanitary sewer lift station, including controls and SCADA equipment. The existing lift station will most likely be removed or abandoned in- place. To further demonstrate our understanding of and the issues on this project, we have included a detailed issues Map at the end of this section. LIFT STATION The existing lift station is a Smith & Loveless suction lift facility with two 5 hp pumps. The existing pumping characteristics are assumed to be for future use, as the service area is predominantly developed. We will work with the City to create a service area map to help verify anticipated flow rates. Additionally, flow records will be analyzed and - 1 - a 1 weighed against calculated values to provide an added level of confidence for design. Three lift station types and configurations will be reviewed: ' • Wet well/ Dry well The Argonne Lift Station will • Submersible (wet well only) be replaced as a portion of the • Suction project scope. We will also review the potential for re -using the existing lift station housing. This may require rehabilitation of the housing and would require bypass pumping at the station during project construction. To fully evaluate all options, we will prepare a life cycle analysis for each of the alternatives. This will allow the City to make the most appropriate long -term decision for the facility. �. LIFT STATION SITE SELECTION�� As a part of the feasibility report, options for relocating the lift station will be analyzed. The options will include construction of a station in close proximity to the existing facility and a new station at a location removed from the existing facility. We will also analyze the potential to rehabilitate L; the existing facility. ; Some of the factors to be considered in the site selection include: Relocation of the lift station • Facility type into the street would minimize • Forcemain costs (when considering new locations) aesthetic impacts, but add to • Aesthetics for the neighborhood reconstruction costs. • Impacts to properties and the public right -of -way • Construction staging costs (if bypass pumping is required) • Maintenance access to station and SCADA JON >`t 0 Z Argonne Sanitary Sewer Lift Station Improvement Municipal Project #1114 � City of Columbia Heights 1 .1 % ''eers &s °�`� PROJECT APPROACH SCADA SYSTEM The SCADA system will need to be replaced, and potentially relocated, as a portion of the project. The exact location will be determined as a portion, of the lift station site selection process. The City's SCADA system was designed and installed by ICS. We will work with ICS during the report and design phase to ensure compatibility with the City's system. We will � - work with the City to determine the best location for installation of the new SCADA equipment and antennae. FORCEMAIN The existing forcemain is a 4 -inch ductile iron pipe that is approximately 900 feet in length. The condition of the forcemain will be analyzed during The antennae required to the report phase of the project. We will visually inspect the forcemain at the transmit SCADA related lift station and at the discharge manhole. information will need to remain above ground. Because of the small diameter of the forcemain, televising the entire length may be impractical or excessively costly. Typically, televising contractors only televise service lines of this diameter. As such, the length of line they € can televise generally does not exceed 100 or 200 feet or contain bends or other fittings. We will work with the City to determine the extents of the televising that can be completed. We have not included any costs for forcemain rehabilitation, repair or replacement in our design fees. If work related to the forcemain is required, we will negotiate a cost with the City for those services. SOIL ANALYSIS Soil borings will be required at two locations: • The proposed lift station location • In the roadway adjacent to the facility The boring in the roadway will be required to develop a design section for street restoration. The soil boring at the proposed lift station will be required to analyze soil and groundwater conditions to aid in the design of 1 the new facility and to gain an understanding of potential constructability issues. We understand that we will coordinate with a geotechnical consultant and that the geotechnical consultant will invoice the City directly. PROJECT SCHEDULE Because the existing lift station is beginning to fail, the City is requiring that a new facility be constructed in 2012. To facilitate 2012 construction, we anticipate that we will complete the feasibility study in 2011. We will then complete the design in early 2012 to allow for spring bidding. -z A more detailed project schedule is included later in this proposal. We will work with ICS to ensure SUB-CONSULTANTS compatibility with the City's Bolton & Menk has a long- standing relationship with Barr Engineering to SCADA system. provide electrical services for lift stations and similar projects. We have included information related to Barr Engineering's qualifications later in N' this proposal. 01 Argonne Sanitary Sewer Lift Station Improvement m x Municipal Project #1114 �� o r s City of Columbia Heights 1- 2 °ears &s�N PROJECT APPROACH CONSTRUCTION BUDGET The City has budgeted $150,000 in construction costs for the project. The budget does not include costs for forcemain related work or for the potential emergency standby generator. We are committed to working with the City to develop alternatives that will provide the best value to the City. LANDSCAPE SCREENING Residents have indicated that they would prefer to have the least visually obtrusive option possible for the lift station. Moving the lift station out of the boulevard and into the street would minimize the visual impacts of the facility. SCADA and control equipment will need to remain in the !' boulevard due to the nature of the equipment. The City has also indicated that plantings are the preferred means of visual screening, rather than fencing or similar screening methods. Our Landscape = 1. Architects will develop a vegetation screening plan. We will draw on the existing plantings in the neighborhood to create a screen that will blend Our Landscape Architects will with the surroundings. develop a screening plan to minimize aesthetic impacts. PERMITTING AND APPROVALS We will work with the City to obtain the necessary permits for project construction.

Our team has been successful in designing and implementing hundreds of lift station projects. These stations have ranged from the relatively straight forward replacement of pumps in existing stations, to the design of large cast -in -place wet well/ dry well stations pumping millions of gallons. Many communities have existing lift stations that have exceeded their useful life. Our lift station engineering experts have assisted numerous communities with the replacement of these lift stations. We understand the importance of putting together a plan to manage existing flows while a new station is constructed, maintaining service at all times. When replacing an existing lift station, it is often time to upgrade the controls and other components as well as start lift station standardization or comply with lift station standards already in place. Our team members have extensive experience with many different pump manufacturers and the various control systems available. Additionally, we can assist the City with SCADA systems and emergency power generation. The following paragraphs summarize Bolton & Menk's experience on projects as they relate to the proposed services to the City of Columbia Heights. A detailed summary of Bolton & Menk's extensive experience with lift station design and construction has been provided at the end of this section. EAST LIFT STATION, CITY OF HASTINGS Contact: Nick Egger, City Engineer, 651 -480 -2370 The City of Hastings retained Bolton & Menk, Inc. to provide preliminary surveying and design, final plans and specifications, project management, and construction observation and staking : for an existing Smith and Loveless wet well/dry well "tin can" ='' — , :"..„'f.t:11 , . _, lift station. The existing station was over 25 years old and it was 1 [- x .'' difficult for the City to obtain parts and the structure was in need . ` ` ' of repair or replacement. In addition, the lift station easement was i located in the yard of a homeowner on a typical residential block. . t Bolton & Menk designed a precast submersible lift station with two 4 KSB 105 gpm submersible pumps to replace the aging wet well/dry well station. The design allowed for the construction of the new lift ,„,.... rte, station structure while the existing lift station structure remained in operation. This allowed for easier construction, which reduced the overall construction costs. The design included new landscaping around the station, including a maintenance -free vinyl fence and a new SCADA -ready control panel that tied into the City's existing SCADA system. The City also requested design services for a permanent generator because of inconsistent utility power. A permanent generator in an outdoor enclosure was set on the site. Bolton & Menk teamed with Barr Engineering to complete the electrical and SCADA design work. The City of Hastings also retained Bolton & Menk for two other lift stations. One project included rehab of an existing wet well/dry well lift station. The existing pumps were 800 gpm vertical centrifugal pumps with the motors mounted on the floor above the pumps. The existing controls consisted of a control panel with relays and a wet well bubbler system. Two new 1250 gpm submersible pumps for dry well application were installed in the dry well and new solid state based controls with a submersible pressure level transducer were installed. The other lift station project was for a major new sub - development being constructed by the City of Hastings. As part of this project, a submersible lift station was required and the lift station consisted of two 530 gpm submersible pumps, solid state based controls with a submersible pressure level transducer and manual transfer switch with receptacle to match the City's existing portable generator. The lift station and forcemain were designed for an ultimate design flow of 900 gpm by just having to replace the submersible pumps when flow conditions exceed the current pumps flow rate. Key Team Members: Seth Peterson, Sheldon Sorenson Argonne Sanitary Sewer Lift Station Improvement m A Municipal Project #1114 City of Columbia Heights 4 - ,,, 4eers &S,Ot' RELEVANT EXPERIENCE MULTIPLE LIFT STATIONS, CITY OF SHOREVIEW Contact: Dan Curley, Public orks Superintendent, 651 -490 -4672 ,.. Bolton & Menk, Inc. was retained by the City of Shoreview to i prepare feasibility studies, develop plans and specifications, and perform construction engineering services for the replacement of multiple lift stations throughout the City. The Snail Lake, North y Lexington, South Lexington, and Gramsie lift stations have • been completely replaced and included the removal of existing wet well/dry well stations that were replaced with submersible stations. The designs incorporated new submersible pumps, controls and SCADA interfacing. The lift station sites were often " very small and required substantial coordination and minimal b ass um in during construction. Barr Engineering (formerly r ». yP p ping g g g� Kaeding and Assoc.) provided the electrical and controls engineering for all of the lift station projects in Shoreview. Bolton & Menk was also selected to prepare feasibility studies, develop plans and specifications, and perform construction engineering services for an additional 18 lift station replacements or upgrades. These lift stations include three stormwater lift stations. The projects consisted of replacement of pumps, controls and/or SCADA upgrades. Key Team Members: Seth Peterson, Sheldon Sorenson LONE OAK LIFT STATION, CITY OF EAGAN Contact: Wayne Schwanz, Utility Superintendent, 651- 675 -5000 The City of Eagan retained Bolton & Menk, Inc. to provide.. . preliminary design, surveying, final plans and specifications, r ., project management, and construction observation and staking for an existing Smith and Loveless wet well /dry well "tin can" lift station. The lift station served not only residential homes but also a commercial and industrial district and pumping could not be interrupted for any period of time. The lift station easement was r� located adjacent to two residential properties and alongside a busy Dakota County road, Lone Oak Road. This created difficulty in siting a new station to replace the aging wet well/dry well station. Bolton & Menk designed a precast submersible lift station with two Hydromatic submersible pumps and a precast valve vault to replace the aging wet well /dry well station. The design required the contractor to construct the new valve vault first and then the` "Yr ..�' old station was temporarily piped to the new valve vault to allow for the installation of the new precast lift station structure adjacent to the existing lift station. Once the lift station structure and pumps were placed, the flow was directed to the new station and the existing station was removed from service. The design required no shutdown of the pumping station and the project was completed on schedule. The design also included a new SCADA ready control panel that tied into the City's existing SCADA system. Key Team Members: Seth Peterson, Sheldon Sorenson 0 Argonne Sanitary Sewer Lift Station Improvement m Municipal Project #1114 City of Columbia Heights 4 - 2 On eers &S�e��SS RELEVANT EXPERIENCE LIFT STATION NO. 7, CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON Contact: Grant Wyffels, Director of Public Works, 651- 638 -2053 Bolton & Menk, Inc. was retained by the City of New Brighton to prepare a feasibility study, develop plans and specifications and perform construction engineering services for Lift Station No. 7 and the associated forcemain. The existing lift station was a factory built lift station in a steel shell and was in need of repairs. Non - destructive testing was completed on the steel shell and it was determined that a special concrete coating with a polyurea lining could be applied to the steel that would protect the structure and provide additional structural integrity. In addition, the valves that were located in the lift station were removed and placed in a new precast valve vault. Key Team Members: Seth Peterson, Sheldon Sorenson NORTHWEST AREA WATER AND SANITARY EXTENSIONS - LIFT STATION R9.1, CITY OF INVER GROVE HEIGHTS Reference: Scott Thureen, Public Works Director, 651 -450 -2572 The City of Inver Grove Heights hired Bolton & Menk Inc. to provide complete engineering services for the City's Northwest Area Water and Sanitary Extension project. The improvemen t included trunk sewer lines up to 24 ", dual 16" forcemains, and three sanitary sewer lift stations. Lift station R9.1 is the main lift station for the Northwest Area and is a wet well /dry well lift station with a capacity of 6.7 mgd. The station contains two 200 hp pumps, each rated at 3,500 gpm, and two 100 hp pumps, each rated at 1,500 gpm. The smaller pumps are equipped with VFD that allow the pumps to operate over a large flow range. Bolton & Menk teamed with Barr Engineering to provide electrical and controls engineering. The facility is equipped with a permanents standby generator and the lift station is tied into the City's existing' SCADA system. ,.' Key Team Members: Seth Peterson, Sheldon Sorenson MULTIPLE LIFT STATIONS, CITY OF WACONIA Contact: Craig Eldred, Public Services Director, 952 -44.2 -2184 Bolton & Menk, Inc. was hired to provide engineering services for lift stations in the City of Waconia. One project involved separating the flow from the Metropolitan Council's former Lift Station L -52 in Waconia from H -284, one of the City's lift stations. An existing 8" forcemain carried flow from both lift stations to the Council's Lift Station L -70 on the east side of Waconia. With the recent growth in Waconia, the 8" main no longer had sufficient capacity to carry all of the flow from both lift stations. This project involved upgrading Lift Station H -284 (to pump a larger capacity for future growth) and constructing a new 12" forcemain and trunk gravity sewer to the Council's Lift Station L -70, parallel to the existing 8" main. The existing Lift Station L -52 continues to pump to L -70 via the existing 8" forcemain. Bolton & Menk provided preliminary surveying and design, final plans and specifications, project management, and construction observation and staking on the Southeast Area Lift Station. The lift station was constructed to allow for the development of the City to the south and east. This lift station will provide service to approximately 2,400 acres of future development. The initial capacity of the station is 1,600 gpm, with ultimate capacity of approximately 5,200 gpm. This 38 -foot deep lift station has a wet well configuration with submersible pumps, and discharges through a 16 -inch forcemain. The forcemain discharges to a 36 -inch trunk line that connects via gravity flow to the Met Council Lift Station (L -70) located at the east end of Waconia. Barr Engineering provided the electrical and controls engineering on both of these projects and both stations are tied into the City's SCADA system.
