Summary

Sewer Supervisor Don Erickson outlined a Pine Street sanitary sewer replacement project using pipe-bursting and open-cut methods, citing an engineer's estimate of approximately $893,000 and a mid-June bid opening with construction anticipated later this summer if a bid award is approved.

Sewer Supervisor Don Erickson presented the Pine Street Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project to the council on June 11, describing both pipe-bursting and conventional open-cut construction methods intended to replace aging sewer infrastructure and reduce groundwater infiltration.

Erickson said the project aims to preserve wastewater treatment capacity and produce operational savings by reducing infiltration and inflow. "The engineer's estimate is approximately $893,000, with bids scheduled to be opened mid-June," according to the minutes. Staff told the council they expect to return with a bid-award recommendation and, if approved, construction would begin later this summer.

Council discussion focused on construction methods, scheduling, and the bidding process; no contract award occurred at the June 11 meeting.
