RE: EAST TRUNK HIGHWAY 10 CORRIDOR FEASIBILITY STUDY
Dear Mr. Klaers:
At the City Council workshop on Saturday, January 8, 1994, the City Council reviewed the
outcome of the recently completed survey of property owners along the East TH 10
corridor. Based on the information provided and the discussion at that workshop, the City
Council directed me to put together a work scope and schedule for proceeding with the
feasibility study to extend trunk sanitary sewer and watermain to this area of town. The
following schedule assumes that the upgrading of the wastewater treatment plant will
proceed through the design and review phase in 1994, funding will be available at that time,
and construction will be undertaken in 1995 and early 1996. The plant would then be
available for connection in the spring of 1996. Given this assumption, a possible schedule
for the East TH 10 feasibility study would be as follows:
February 1994
· City Council authorizes updating the feasibility study.
· City Council reviews and approves total study area for East TH 10
feasibility .
90-120 days - Draft study completed.
June/July 1994 - Updated draft study presented to City Council.
August/September 1994 - Informational meeting.
November 1994 - Final feasibility study received by City Council and public hearing
ordered. (proceeding from this point should correspond to authorization to proceed
with WWTP expansion.)

January/February 1995
· Hold public hearing.
· Authorize plans and specifications for first phase of improvements.
· Begin land acquisition process.
May 1995 - City Council approves plans and specifications and authorizes
advertisement for bids.
June 1995
· Land acquisition complete or right of entry obtained.
· Open bids.
July 1995
· Hold assessment hearing.
· A ward contract.
· Start construction.
October/November 1995 - Utilities substantially complete.
e
Spring 1996
· Wastewater treatment plant expansion complete.
· Utility extensions complete and ready for hookup.
This schedule would provide adequate time to explore all the alternatives for providing
service to this area. It also includes ample time for conducting informational hearings and
concluding the land acquisition process. I have attached a draft resolution for the City
Council's consideration should they want to proceed with this project.
If you have any questions regarding this or would like additional information, please call.
Sincerely,
MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS
