Long Prairie approves pay applications, reports lift-station progress and selects blue-green water tower design
Summary
The council approved multiple pay applications for water and lift-station projects, was updated that the new Main Lift Station is operational with demolition of the old plant complete, and selected a blue/green water-tower design (logo only) with LED ground lighting.
The Long Prairie City Council on Dec. 22 approved pay applications for multiple water and wastewater projects, heard that the new Main Lift Station is operational, and selected a blue-and-green water-tower design.
City Engineer Kent Louwagie reported that the new Main Lift Station is operational and that demolition of the old treatment plant is complete; remaining small work is expected in spring. He said Riverside Park initial contractor paperwork is pending final payment and that bidding documents will be prepared for the park’s remaining work.
The council voted unanimously to approve Pay Application No. 2 for the Well No. 6 Generator Project to ARC Electric for $19,000 and Pay Application No. 2 for the Water Treatment Plant Generator Project to ARC Electric for $95,475. Council also approved Pay Application No. 9 to C & L Excavating for $236,174.49 for the Main Lift Station Project, which the council record lists as 86.2% complete.
Council Member Clint Krueger moved to select Water Tower Design Option #1 (blue on bottom, green on top, logo in the center, excluding the words “City of”) and to install LED ground lighting; the motion passed unanimously.
Engineer Louwagie also described preliminary coordination with Long Prairie Township on a potential 6th Street SE pavement project (about 4,000 feet) and said the city will review assessment policy and develop a 10-year street and utility capital improvement plan (CIP) and update the city’s street/utility inventory for GIS tracking.
The approvals fund ongoing infrastructure work and move several projects toward final payment and closeout; the council did not identify additional contingencies or schedule changes in the meeting record.
The council adjourned at 8:28 p.m.
