City of Eden Prairie Capital Improvement Plan 2025 to 2034

Introduction

The City plans for capital maintenance and improvements by preparing a ten year capital improvement plan (CIP). The CIP represents a framework for planning the preservation and expansion of capital including equipment, facilities, and infrastructure. It sets forth the estimated schedule, timing, and details of specific improvements by year, together with the estimated cost, the need for the improvement, and sources of revenue to pay for the improvement.

The plan provides for consistent investment in City equipment, facilities, and infrastructure It also preserves and expands capital in a way that is sustainable and affordable for Eden Prairie citizens.

The plan supports the City’s goals as identified by the City Council and discussed during the 2024/2025 budget process. These goals include enhancing and preserving service levels, continual review for service efficiencies and innovations, preservation of Eden Prairie’s exceptional image internally and externally, maintain a strong financial position, and enhance the sense of community identity.

Capital Policies

The City has implemented the following policies to provide guidance to meet our goals.

• The City will maintain a ten-year Capital Improvement Plan for all projects over $25,000 and will update the plan every two years.

• A strong pay-as-you-go program is maintained. The City uses current resources to pay for projects whenever feasible.

• One-time revenues are used for one-time expenses. This helps to ensure the City does not have long term commitments without an outgoing funding source.

• The City will confine long-term borrowing to capital improvements or projects that cannot be financed from current revenues. Where the issuance of long-term debt is required, it will pay back the bonds within a period not to exceed the expected useful life of the project.

• The City will maintain a sound relationship with all bond rating agencies and will keep them informed about current capital projects. The City has the highest rating possible of Aaa from Moody’s investor services and AAA from Standard and Poor’s.

• Liquor profits are a dedicated funding source of the Capital Improvement Program

Process

The City updates the Capital Improvement plan (CIP) every two years. Each department documents and prioritizes requested projects. The City Manager makes the final recommendation to the City Council on which projects to include and fund in the CIP.

The City Council receives input from various sources when making final decisions on the CIP including citizen input through a biannual citizen survey and other public and private meetings and contacts. The Council receives input on projects from the City’s various commissions including the Planning Commission, Heritage Preservation Commission, Human Rights & Diversity Commission, Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission, Sustainability Commission, and the Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission.

The City Council considered the following when preparing the CIP for each project and for the overall plan

• the condition of the City’s infrastructure including the projected need for repair or replacement

• the likely demand for the improvement

• the estimated cost of the improvement

• the available public resources

• the level of overlapping debt in the City

• the relative benefits and costs of alternative uses of the funds

• operating cost of the proposed improvement

• alternatives for providing services most efficiently through shared facilities with other cities or local government units

Capital Improvements Definition

A Capital improvement is a major expenditure of City funds. For the CIP, the City defines a capital improvement where the cost of a single project or piece of equipment is over $25,000.

Project Summary

Below summarizes total project amounts by department

Conclusion

The CIP is an important tool to maintain and provide consistent investment in City equipment, facilities, and infrastructure. Assets are not allowed to deteriorate beyond repair and appropriate repair and replacement are scheduled. Summary and detail information on the cost and funding source for each project is provided in the Capital Improvement Plan document.

Project # 13801

Project Name Entry Monument/Signs Category Economic Development

Description

Install City entry monument signs or other branding/signage near major entrances into Eden Prairie. Three monuments have been constructed or approved at Hwy 169/Anderson Lakes Parkway; I-494 westbound; and Hwy 5 eastbound near Dell Rd. A bridge branding for Hwy 212 eastbound at Dell Rd is a separate CIP project worksheet. This worksheet includes a monument sign for I494 southbound that will be similar to I-494 westbound and enhanced bridge branding for 212 westbound. The latter could include adding “Eden Prairie” on the Shady Oak Rd bridge. Design work for these elements is in process with construction in 2024 or 2025.

Justification

The signs will help with wayfinding and economic development by expanding Eden Prairie branding along major highways. This will help provide better awareness and recognition of our City while contributing to a strong sense of community.

Budget Impact/Other

Additional maintenance costs are expected. Useful Life 50 years

Description

The Southwest LRT Project will leave a remnant of undeveloped land at the northwest corner of Town Center Place and Flying Cloud Drive. The Southwest LRT project office has indicated a willingness to allow the City to improve and maintain the area either through fee title transfer or an easement/agreement. No cost for the property rights is anticipated. The budget is for paving, plantings, pedestrian-scale wayfinding and a bench with entry signage. The Flying Red Horse (FRH) is planned for installation at this site. The City has received a grant to cover costs for interpretive panels to convey the historic context of the FRH. Costs for restoration/preservation of the FRH are planned from other sources. Project # 13805

Justification

This plaza is at the vehicular entrance to the Town Center Station which warrants some identification from Flying Cloud Drive to provide wayfinding to the LRT station. This plaza will also serve hotel residents to the north who use the trail along Flying Cloud Drive to the station or to cross to the mall. Therefore, pedestrian-level wayfinding and a bench are also warranted.

Budget Impact/Other

Some annual maintenance will likely be required.

Name Bridge Railing Replacement

Description

Replacement of bridge railings at Prairie Center Drive and Mitchell Road over Highway 5/212. Prairie Center Drive replacement should take priority over Mitchell Road due to its proximity to Southwest Station and LRT expected to be operational in 2027. The MnDOT maintenance agreement specifies the City of Eden Prairie is responsible for bridge railing maintenance.

Justification

Bridge railing maintenance is Eden Prairie's responsibility per the maintenance agreement with MnDOT. These railings are moving toward disrepair.

Budget Impact/Other

There should be minimal maintenance costs.

Project # 17-5990

Project Name Dell Road [Crestwood Terrace to FCD (CSAH 61)]

Description

Upgrade existing rural un-improved roadway section to a two-lane urban collector street with curb and gutter, storm sewer, bituminous trail to Flying Cloud Drive and creek crossing. The project will also review extending utilities (watermain from Crestwood Terrace to Turnbull). It's assumed a gravity system in the ROW connected to private low pressure sanitary sewer systems in houses to serve the westerly Turnbull Road properties. Gravity sanitary sewer can be extended from Reeder Ridge to serve the easterly Turnbull Road properties. The completed Hennepin County CSAH 61 (Flying Cloud Drive) project raised the profile of CSAH 61 and constructed a section of Dell Road (about 0.11 miles) up the hill from the intersection. The construction cost estimate is based on a preliminary design level estimate for 0.45 miles of Dell Road plus a portion of Turnbull Road. Other significant cost items include major grading, retaining walls, creek crossing, and utilities. The construction estimate was completed by the consultant during the feasibility study and includes contingency and engineering. A portion of the roadway improvements will be assessed to adjacent and benefitting property owners, determined by the Feasibility Report. The project's timing is anticipated to be concurrent with the development of the Marshall property located north of the corridor.

Justification

A major portion of this street is one of the last remaining gravel road sections in the community. The horizontal and vertical alignments and surface width are deficient and need to be upgraded to City and Municipal State Aid standards. These improvements will provide a safer corridor and develop a viable collector street for motorists and residents in the area.

Budget Impact/Other

New pavement and stormwater facilities will reduce or eliminate the need for frequent gravel, erosion, and grading repairs. The new roadway and utilities will be added to our standard preventative maintenance programs.

Useful Life 40 yrs

Category Transportation Type Improvement

Description

Reconstruct existing 2-lane rural roadway to a 2-lane urban collector roadway (32' wide) including intersection improvements at School Road (likely a mini-roundabout assessed to school per agreement). The project may include reconstruction of the trail on the south side of Scenic Heights Road. Estimated roadway construction cost is based on 0.5 mile @ $7.2M per mile or $3.6M plus a mini-roundabout estimated at $0.8M There are minimal sanitary sewer or watermain improvements needed in the corridor, but there will be stormwater infrastructure and treatment required in a challenging environment which is estimated to add $0.6M. Grading, retaining walls and landscaping may be needed, which could add $0.5M. Engineering is estimated at 25% of the construction cost of $5.5M which results in the total estimated project costs of $6.8M.

Justification

The existing roadway is an unimproved segment with no curb & gutter or stormwater management. Issues needed to be addressed include grading, wetland impacts, soils, retaining walls, etc. With the Central Middle School's expansion project and the addition of another grade level at the school, traffic issues at the intersection of Scenic Heights Road and School Road will further deteriorate. As part of the school project approval process, physical and operational improvements were identified on the school property to reduce anticipated increased congestion. In addition, the School District has agreed to contribute $0.8M to the improvements at the intersection. The project is in the City's Transportation Plan and the intersection improvements are proposed to be accelerated to accommodate the school improvements, as well as upgrade a portion of the roadway to current City and MSA standards.

Budget Impact/Other

With additional roadway width, a minimal amount of additional roadway maintenance is expected.

Project # 22824

Name Willow Creek Rd. Street and Utility Improvements

Description

The Willow Creek neighborhood has reached out to the city inquiring about city utilities. The city has received a petition from the neighborhood to study the feasibility of providing city utilities. It is assumed that a new street would be constructed with the utility improvements. The public street within the neighborhood is about 0.56 miles long and estimated cost for a new street is $4.4M/mile plus storm water facilities (20%) plus engineering (30%) for a total of $3.7M.

If new utilities were installed within only public right-of-way, it is estimated that the length of sanitary sewer and watermain would be about 3300 feet. At an estimated cost of $350/foot for sewer and water infrastructure, the estimated utility costs would be $1.5M. The total project costs are estimated at $5.2M. The street grades may limit an effective utility layout for the neighborhood, so a sanitary sewer lift station or a low pressure system may be necessary - an additional $700k is added for the lift station. A feasibility study will identify various options to serve the neighborhood. It is also assumed to include assessments for area utilities.

Justification

This neighborhood is one of the last areas of the city without city utilities. Due to the age of the neighborhood and the condition of their septic systems and possibly their wells, there would be an environmental justification for these improvements. The residents have expressed interest in pursuing city utilities.

utility improvements would add to the city's maintenance responsibilities.

Project # 24822

Project Name Washington Ave Sewer Lining (Phase 2)

Description

Approximately 3049 LF of 9" vitreous clay pipe sanitary sewer main on Washington Ave is in need of replacement to prevent future failure and to eliminate infiltration of ground water, which is a typical problem of this type of sewer main pipe. The pipe will be rehabilitated with a structural liner which will seal the leaks and provide a continuous, strong alternative to the existing system This is the only known remaining clay pipe in the City's public system. Trenchless lining is less intrusive than replacement by open cut.

Justification

Reconditioning pipe that is likely to fail in the near term will avoid system interruptions and possible sewer backups on private property. Lining the pipe also eliminates the opportunity for ground water intrusion into the sanitary sewer, which results in unnecessary treatment costs and negatively impacts the City's I&I ratios.

I&I grants are also available through Met Council that will be pursued as well as shared cost with Edina.

Budget Impact/Other

Providing a structural liner to existing pipe creates a new pipe inside of a pipe that is structurally sound even if the host pipe fails over time. The life span of lined pipe is equal to that of a new plastic pipe or 50-80 years.

Project # 24830

Project Name Shady Oak Rd. (Flying Cloud Dr. to Valley View Rd)

Pavement Management

Description

The Aspire 2040 Comp Plan identified the existing 2-lane industrial street to be widened to a 3-lane section with trail/pedestrian improvements and streetscape features. However, the existing 2lane street has a volume capacity of 11,050 vehicles per day (VPD). The most recent volume counts from 2020 were 3,550 VPD. New counts will be completed in 2024 and will help understand the future needs of this corridor. The updated proposed scope includes maintaining the existing street width, with the exception of the Valley View Intersection turn lane widening, completing a rehabilitation of the road surface, adding a new bituminous trail along the west side of the road using grant funds obtained by the City along with trail funds, leaving room for potential widening in the future. The rehab cost for the street is estimated at $22.75/SY for this 0.8 mile section ($400k), the trail is estimated at $0.4-$0.6M with the streetscape elements adding $100k. It's anticipated that the streetscape features of lighting and benches will be paid by the Economic Development Fund. Street lighting is anticipated to provide better pedestrian safety at an additional estimated cost of $100k. Engineering is estimated at 25% for a total project cost of $1.625M.

Justification

The Golden Triangle Area is an expected redevelopment area that will result in higher densities and traffic volumes associated with the Golden Triangle LRT Station. The LRT project converted the roadway to a 3-lane section at the intersection with W 70th which will provide necessary capacity, while adding trail, streetscape, and lighting improvements will provide a more pedestrian friendly environment along Shady Oak Road.

Budget Impact/Other

The addition of trails, pedestrian facilities, and streetscape features will add additional maintenance responsibilities. Maintaining the street width will not add any additional pavement maintenance.

Project Name ADA Ramp Improvement Program Category Transportation

Description

As a component of our ADA Transition Plan for the Right-of-Way, we program and fund annual ADA improvements throughout the city on a priority basis. ADA improvements include sidewalk, trail, and curb ramps. Several priority areas were determined based on a half-mile radius from transit stations, community facilities, high and medium-high density housing, and Southwest Transit bus stops. These priority areas are combined to determine the overall highest priority areas to which ADA improvement projects should be evaluated and implemented on an annual basis.

Justification

The primary objectives of the ADA Transition Plan for the Right-of-Way are to ensure accessibility for all users and to remove pedestrian barriers within the public right-of-way.

Budget Impact/Other

These ADA improvements will add minimal maintenance needs within the right-of-way. Useful Life 20 years

Project # 25801

Project Name Annual Pavement Management

Description

Ongoing maintenance of approximately 234 miles of City streets. Annual Maintenance includes our yearly program for overlays, crack sealing, reclamation, underseals, fog seals, and other supporting pavement maintenance strategies. (Approximately $4M/year)

Significant pavement replacement work will also occur as certain streets no longer benefit from typical maintenance strategies and will require funding beyond our annual maintenance program (around $1-2M/year). This type of work includes reconstruction, pavement and curb replacement, and full-depth pavement reclamation and stabilization of larger segments of roadway. These projects will also be funded by the pavement management fund where appropriate. Projects are identified and prioritized through regular pavement management evaluations completed every three years as well as select pavement area testing. Projects involving multiple funding sources including pavement management will be identified in separate CIP sheets but tracked through the pavement management fund budget.

Utilizing a City-wide pavement management software program, the current Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is approximately 86 out of 100 or Excellent. The two City-wide Pavement Management Program goals are: to maintain an average citywide pavement condition index rating of “Very Good” or better (greater than 70) and to have 90% of streets categorized “Fair” or better (greater than 40). These goals require steadily or intermittently increasing revenue sources such as franchise fees ($5.3M in 2025) and State Aid maintenance revenue ($0.6M).

Justification

Preserve a major infrastructure investment and provide an expected level of service to the community. As the City street system continues to age certain roadways are requiring more extensive maintenance including complete pavement replacement or reconstruction. This program will help provide the expected level of service to the community by working to achieve the City's Pavement Condition Index (PCI) goals.

Budget Impact/Other

This item is an operational and maintenance cost that is expected to optimize the life of our street system. In the case of reconstructions, it will restart the life cycle of a street. The level of spending will be adjusted for inflation in the future and to reflect changes in the PCI as determined in Citywide evaluations of the streets on a three year cycle.

Project # 25803

Project Name Annual ROW Maintenance and Repairs

Description

This funding source is for miscellaneous public works maintenance, repair, and replacement projects. Projects likely to be funded include minor fence repairs and replacements, guard rail repairs and replacement, sound wall staining, retaining wall repairs and replacements, and other city responsible maintenance improvements without a designated funding source or part of a larger project. There are currently 6 Public Works retaining walls identified to be in poor condition. This funding will prioritize those walls with goal to eliminate all walls in poor condition while continuing to maintain the additional projects listed above.

Justification

This funding source will allow the Public Works Department to prioritize and finance repairs and improvements that arise and provide an ability to react to yearly issues and priorities.

Budget Impact/Other

This provides a schedule and priority of maintenance, repair, and replacement issues rather than being reactive to failed infrastructure.

City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota

Project # 25804

Description

This CIP item will be used for repair or replacement of streetlights throughout town that have expired 25-year contracts with Xcel Energy. There are approximately 475 streetlights with rate code A30-Q5, meaning that Xcel Energy maintains and repairs them for 25 years from the installation date. 110 of those streetlight contracts have already expired, and Xcel Energy only performs basic maintenance of the photo controls and ballasts. If the pole is damaged or in disrepair, or there are any underground faults, the City is responsible for the cost. These lights will be systematically replaced with new lights at a capital cost of about $1,800 per light and a monthly service cost of about $22 per month per light. They will then no longer be on 25-year contracts and Xcel Energy will own and maintain them.

Justification

This will allow the Public Works Department to finance replacement of streetlights that are aging and on expired contracts with Xcel Energy.

Budget Impact/Other

After the capital cost of these streetlight improvements there will be an ongoing service cost at Xcel Energy's standard rates.

Project # 25805

Description

The Transportation Fund 5165 funding source can be used for minor signal systems improvements such as signal re-timing efforts, RRFB or LED pedestrian crossings, etc. Funds will also be used for a phased replacement of aging traffic signal cabinets (likely two per year), conversion of signal cabinets from cellular connectivity to fiber, and conversion to flashing yellow arrow where appropriate. PTZ cameras will also be added to specific intersections similar to signals at Singletree Ln, Preserve Blvd, and Technology Dr.

Eden Prairie currently is an active partner in the following 2 coordinated signal systems: The Major Center Area system is 30+ signals that are split between MnDOT, Hennepin County, and the City. The Mitchell Road system is a 6 signal system that is split between MnDOT, Hennepin County, and the City. Maintaining effective and up to date signal timing plans is a key component of managing and operating the roadway system. The MCA system will cost approximately $50,000 every 3 to 5 years. The Mitchell Road system will cost approximately $20,000 every 3 to 5 years.

Justification

This funding source will allow the Public Works Department to finance minor signal timing and improvements that arise and provide an ability to react to yearly issues and priorities.

Budget Impact/Other

These signal related improvements will provide operational and safety enhancements for various vehicular and pedestrian situations.

Project # 25813

Project Name Plaza Dr (PCD to Valley View Rd)

Description

Due to the complexity of this pavement rehabilitation project, it is being pulled out of the recurring Annual Pavement Management plan. This project may entail additional design and construction efforts beyond the typical rehab project specifically around the culvert crossing that has settlement around it.

Costs are based on Full Depth Reclamation plus 6-inches of bituminous and traffic control = $37/SY 20,000 SY = $740,000 and $100,000 for stormwater improvements, and 25% for engineering = $1,050,000.

Justification

The road is settling at an existing culvert, new roadway design over the existing storm sewer will be needed. The pavement condition has declined and a combination of a mill & overlay, full depth reclamation and possibly stabilizing will be needed.

Budget Impact/Other

This rehabilitation will restart the life cycle of the pavement. Additional maintenance costs for sealing (8-10 year cycle) and overlays (20 year cycle) are modest.

Capital Plan

City

of Eden Prairie, Minnesota

Description

This project would connect two dead-end segments of Magnolia Trail. A City standard 28-foot wide urban street section with a five-foot wide concrete sidewalk would be extended, along with a connection of the watermain. New storm sewer would be added to accommodate the new impervious surface. The new street, sidewalk, and storm sewer are estimated at $4M per mile (0.05 mile) or $0.2M. Storm sewer is estimated at $0.04M and watermain is estimated at $0.06M. Engineering is estimated at 15% of the construction cost, since most of the design will be done in-house, bringing the project cost estimate to $0.345M. Project # 25814

Justification

The connection would allow for improved traffic circulation and easier emergency response for both Arrive and Fountain Place townhome associations. Additionally, connecting the watermain would eliminate two existing long dead ends, resulting in better flows and more flexibility during watermain breaks or fire response.

Project Name CSAH 1 (Pioneer Trail) Bridge #27542 over HCRRA

Description

Hennepin County approached the City about replacing the CSAH 1 bridge over the HCRRA LRT Regional Trail near the county line with Carver County and the City of Chanhassen. The County is soliciting federal funds for a 2026 program year. They have requested cost participation from the City based on an 80/20 cost split after the federal funds are applied, although the City has indicated that we have concerns about the level of City participation based on the value received from the bridge replacement. Hennepin County is considering cost participation from Carver County in addition to the City since the bridge is located on the county border. The bridge is planned to have pedestrian facilities, but there is still a gap in trails between this bridge and Riley Lake Rd, which would require CSAH 1 to be reconstructed to fill.

Justification

This is a County directed project which likely requires City cost participation based on the County's cost participation policy.

Budget Impact/Other

It's anticipated that very little City maintenance responsibility will be needed unless pedestrian facilities are included with the bridge replacement. With pedestrian facilities, the City would likely be responsible for trail/sidewalk maintenance.

Project Name CSAH 4 (Eden Prairie Rd.) Bridge #27502

Description

Hennepin County approached the City about replacing the CSAH 4 bridge over the TC & W Railroad Corridor. The County is soliciting federal funds for a 2027 program year. They have requested cost participation from the City based on an 80/20 cost split after the federal funds are applied, although the City has indicated that we have concerns about the level of City participation based on the value received from the bridge replacement. The City is willing to participate at some level in the bridge costs with the ability to add new and improved pedestrian facilities on the bridge. Currently, the only pedestrian facility at this location is on a separate City-owned pedestrian bridge on the west side of the existing bridge. With a new bridge, the City can have new trail facilities on both sides of the new roadway bridge, but with additional trail gaps to fill.

Justification

This is a county directed project which likely requires city cost participation based on the county's cost participation policy.

Budget Impact/Other

It's anticipated that city will be responsible for maintenance for the new trail/sidewalk maintenance on the bridge.

Category Transportation Type Improvement

Description

This project will re-construct the existing two-lane rural un-improved section to an urban two-lane with a trail. The schedule for this project is extended due to the decision to reclaim and repave the roadway in 2009 rather than reconstruct the roadway. The project length is about 0.3 miles with the construction cost estimated at $4.41M/mile. Stormwater management is assumed to be an additional 20%. Engineering is assumed at 25%. Assessment amount is based on remaining 26 properties that have not paid the $3800 special assessment.

Justification

This reconstruction project will upgrade the roadway to an urban section and provide stormwater facilities and a new trail.

Project Name Creek Knoll Road Bridge

Description

This project would replace the bridge over Purgatory Creek, which is over 100 years old. The cost estimate assumes a 52' x 25' bridge @ $250/sf ($0.325M) with about 0.18 mile of street reconstruction to the north at $4.95M/mile ($0.9M) and engineering at 25%. This project will need a creek bypass and a possible roadway bypass (estimated at $0.2M). There may be an opportunity to obtain state bridge funds. City Historic Site.

Justification

The project will replace an old deteriorating bridge that has deficient railings and abutments. A reconstructed urban street section is included in this project to extend the urban section to the south side of the bridge.

Budget Impact/Other

A new bridge will reduce the maintenance needs of the current bridge but will add long-term maintenance needs for the new bridge. The new street section will have minimal maintenance impacts.

Type Improvement

Useful Life 40 yrs

Category Engineering

Description

This project will provide access to city water and fire protection for the residents along Beach Road. This project was previously only a watermain project, but due to the condition of the street, this project now includes major rehabilitation or reconstruction of the entire street section with the watermain installation. The estimated cost per mile for the full-depth reclamation with cement stabilization would be about $700K/mile. Total reconstruction is estimated at $4.06M per mile. This cost for total reconstruction assumes constructing a standard 28' urban street with concrete curb and gutter. With this street having mostly one sided frontages and a rural section, the reconstruction could be less expensive if replaced with a rural section and the existing width. It's assumed that the best solution for the street reconstruction is a full-depth reclamation with cement stabilization at an estimated cost of $700K/mile. With about 1.2 miles of street without curb and gutter, the estimated cost of the pavement rehabilitation would be $840K.

The cost of the watermain is estimated at $1.17M (5200' x $225/ft) with 20% engineering. This neighborhood has sanitary sewer provided along the lake. Assessments for the watermain will likely be in the form of a connection fee at the time of connection. The water portion of the service connection fee is 40% of the city's utility connection fee.

Justification

The Beach Road residents have asked about the availability of city water for domestic use and fire protection. A portion of the road is currently in MnDOT right-of-way. Connection fees would be used if a property owner chooses to connect to city water service. However, the Water Access Fund will be needed to finance a significant portion of water main costs for the project.

Budget Impact/Other

This project will add additional water main to the system with the associated maintenance and operational responsibilities.

Description

Upgrade the existing rural roadway to a 2-lane urban street with a trail replacement on the north side, a new sidewalk on the south side (about 350 feet of sidewalk exists) and stormwater improvements. Intersection improvements at CSAH 4 are included in this project. It's assumed that the existing right-of-way will be sufficient to accommodate the new roadway, trail, and sidewalk improvements. However, there will be additional right-of-way needs (estimated at $0.472M) for intersection and stormwater improvements. Stormwater is estimated at $0.6M. The sidewalk extension is estimated at $.37M per mile. The estimated construction cost is based on 0.6 miles @$5.04M per mile. Engineering is estimated at 25%. Street and stormwater assessments are presumed for curb and gutter and stormwater improvements for the properties that take direct access to Duck Lake Trail including the church near CSAH 4.

Justification

The existing roadway is an unimproved segment of roadway with no curb and gutter, flat grades, and drainage issues. Testing will determine if a pavement reclamation (with or without stabilizers) can be used to reduce project costs and avoid a full reconstruction of the corridor. The project estimate is based on a full reconstruction of the segment and will bring the roadway up to current City and Municipal State Aid standards.

Budget Impact/Other

With a new street, trail, sidewalk, and stormwater facilities, additional pavement, trail/sidewalk, and utility maintenance is expected.

Project Name CSAH 4 (Spring Road) Water main Category Water Distribution

Useful Life 50 years

Description

This project closes a gap and completes a loop in the water main system. The project will connect an 8" water main from the existing stub on CSAH 4 (Spring Road) south of Prospect Road to the 8" stub constructed with Hennepin County's CSAH 61 (Flying Cloud Drive) project near the Lion's Tap site. The estimated length is 2000 feet at a cost of $315 per foot ($635K) including road restoration plus engineering ($125K). Schedule is pushed back due to Hennepin Co rehabbing pavement on CSAH 4 in 2024 and there is a 5 year moratorium on pavement.

Justification

This project will complete a loop in the water system. Having a water system with continuity/loops provides better water quality and fire protection for the customers.

Budget Impact/Other

The water main will increase the overall water distribution infrastructure and require additional maintenance responsibilities.

Description

Upgrade existing rural roadway to a 2 lane urban roadway with trail replacement and new sidewalk. Construction cost is based on 0.7 miles @ $5.5M per mile or $3.9M. There is no existing stormwater infrastructure, so stormwater would add 20% or $0.77M. A 500' sanitary extension is included to capture two properties without services at additional $250/LF or $0.125M. Engineering is estimated at additional 25%.

Contact Megan Larson

Useful Life 40 yrs

Category Transportation Type Improvement

Description

This project proposes to upgrade the existing 2-lane rural roadway to a 2-lane urban section. The estimate is based on upgrading the roadway from the westerly end of the TH 169/I-494 improvements to the improved section near Prairie Center Drive. A new trail will also be included in the project to extend the trail from the east end of the project toward Prairie Center Drive. The construction cost estimate is based on 0.75 miles @ $5.0M per mile plus an additional $390k per mile for the new trail. Sanitary sewer and watermain exists within or outside the corridor. However, there is no stormwater infrastructure in the corridor so it's estimated that $0.75M will be needed for storm sewer. Engineering is estimated at 25%. The total project costs are estimated at $6M.

Justification

MnDOT re-constructed the interchange of TH169 and I-494 in 2011-2012, which includes a new Washington Avenue bridge connecting Viking Drive with West 78th Street. With the MnDOT project, the West 78th Street corridor was designed to accommodate an extra west-bound lane adjacent to the north side retaining wall, if needed. With these improvements, there is still a gap in roadway and trail improvements along this segment from the Golden Triangle Area to the Major Center Area.

Budget Impact/Other

Upgrading the rural section to an urban section will add a minimal amount of pavement maintenance. The new trail along the south side of the road will increase trail maintenance.

Category Transportation Type Improvement

Description

Construct new upgraded TH 169 / Valley View Road interchange. Based on the selected interchange design, this project may require widening or reconstruction of the bridge over TH 169. Partnering with MnDOT and the City of Edina, a comprehensive analysis needs to be completed to determine the appropriate scope of the project. In addition, consideration should be given to alternative interchange designs.

Justification

The TH 169 / I-494 project originally included substantial improvements to this interchange. These improvements were ultimately eliminated from that project. MnDOT, Edina, and Eden Prairie agreed to re-evaluate the scope of the proposed improvements of the TH 169 / Valley View Road interchange after the TH 169 / I-494 project is complete and traffic patterns have adjusted to the completed interchange improvements.

The TH 169 / I-494 Cooperative Agreement includes language in which MnDOT agrees to use the reduced project scope identified in the agreement as the baseline for their participation in a future project. The City anticipates a greater need than the reduced scope of the latest project layout. This interchange is one of only five planned access points to the Golden Triangle area. The existing design experiences regular congestion and is inadequate to serve the future needs of the area.

Project Name City Center, Heat Pump Replacement

Department Facilities

Type Facilities/Buildings/Environmental Cont

Useful Life 10 to 15 years

Category City Center

Description

10% replacement of older and faulty heat pumps per year (260 total). Also used as a funding source when other major mechanical equipment fails. Examples include boiler tube replacement, replacement of a 25 horsepower compressor in the chiller, replacement of a cooling tower pump or core water loop pump and replacement of a cracked heat exchanger in the Police Dispatch air handling unit. This equipment always starts in the $5,000-$10,000 range, and some of the equipment can easily exceed $25,000.

Justification

Much of the original heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment within the facility is 25 years old. The typical life of heat pumps is about 15 years. The typical life of most of the other equipment within the building is 20 years, at which time it needs to be rebuilt or replaced. When equipment reaches the end of its useful life, we maintain it until the maintenance costs exceed the cost of new equipment. For example, a heat pump that is 10 years old, has been well maintained, but the compressor fails. A new heat pump costs $6,000-$7,000 and a compressor costs $3,000. In this case we would replace the compressor because it is likely that the heat pump will remain serviceable for at least 5 more years, probably more. However, if the heat pump is 16 or 17 years old, we would replace the entire heat pump. At that age, the likelihood of the fan motor, the evaporator or condenser coils (a type of heat exchanger) or other costly components failing soon is very high. It would not be economically prudent to put a new compressor in a heat pump that old. A different type of example is when our (approx) 20 year old hot water boilers failed because the hot water tubes (another type of heat exchanger) cracked and leaked. The "shell" of the boiler is likely to be good for 40 years or more, so even though the replacement of the tubes was in the $25,000 range, the likelihood that the boiler will be serviceable for another 20 or 30 years is very high. However, if the boiler was 45 years old, we would evaluate the replacement of the tubes very differently.

Description

Moving from the obsolete Amag system to the Genetec Synergis access control system platform allows for a single unified platform for access control, IP video, intercom audio and intrusion/burglar alarm systems. Genetec Security Center manages all of these systems. Moving to Synergis will allow for integration of card reader door alarms such as forced open door or propped open doors with the video system. Video clips of door alarm incidents will be available for those doors or areas that have a camera. The new software will give the multiple users who utilize the card access system for door scheduling a more user friendly front end to operate.

Justification

Card Reader technology security enhancement

The low frequency proximity technology in use at the City has been hacked. This card technology is no longer secure. Low frequency proximity cards can be cloned and used by bad actors to gain access to buildings after they have been terminated or leave city employment. Communication between the card reader and Amag panel has also been hacked. A bad actor with knowledge of a card reader door could potentially remove the reader short out cables and open the card reader door. Upgrading from Amag to Genetec Synergis will allow the City to increase security of the access control system. Genetec Mercury hardware panels can be configured for OSDP communication between the card reader and the panel. OSDP communication provides secure encrypted communication between the card reader and panel preventing tampering. The current Amag system in place does not support OSDP communication.

The goal of the program is to keep our system at a PCI rating of 80 by performing regular maintenance to prolong the surface life of the trails. Annual maintenance work will include the sealcoating of approximately 5-8 miles of trails, the overlay and or replacement of trail/sidewalk sections identified within the pavement management survey as having a PCI of less than 50, and the repair/reconstruction of degraded trails within city parks.

Justification

Many of the trails within the city and parks have an effective life cycle of 30 years. However, some of the trails have degraded sooner due to heavy traffic loads, poor soils and surface degradation due to roots and vegetation debris. By monitoring our trail surfaces and using sealcoat and overlay applications prior to complete rebuild, the goal is to keep our extensive trail network in a safe and good physical condition.

Budget Impact/Other

Currently annual inspection and repair costs are needed to keep these trails safe. After restoration the need for this maintenance activity will decrease resulting in lower annual costs.

Project Name Flying Cloud Fields - Regrading

Flying Cloud Athletic Fields

Description

The youth soccer fields surface at Flying Cloud Athletic Field complex are in need of regrading to improve the turf condition and playing safety. There are currently 15 acres of turf soccer fields at this location that accommodates 25 youth fields.

Justification

Due to heavy use, the fields are subject to considerable wear and tear. The surface has become uneven in multiple locations due to the goal mouth depression caused by the soccer goalies. The plan is to take a portion of the fields out of play every other year to upgrade the irrigation system and regrade and level the fields for better drainage, turf condition and safer play.

Budget Impact/Other

There shouldn't be any additional annual costs since these are existing facilities being renovated. Annual costs for maintaining the fields are expected to be the same as currently expended in the Park Maintenance operating budget. There may be some cost savings with a newer irrigation system and less repairs. Useful Life

Project Name Auxiliary Picnic Shelters

Description

Add five 20x20 covered picnic shelters to the community parks to provide additional rental shelters to the park system.

Justification

Currently there are large covered picnic shelters at the community parks; however, there is a need to provide smaller shelters that would be available for rent by smaller groups. Currently the large shelters can accommodate up to 150-200 people, whereas small shelters would provide space for groups between 20-40 people.

Budget Impact/Other

It is expected that new picnic shelters would need trash removal and cleaning activities during the summer. These would result in a slight increase in general maintenance costs at the parks where these shelters would be constructed.

Project Name Park Building Access Upgrades

Description

Upgrade city park buildings from keyed locks to remote and card access.

Justification

There have been many issues with the current key system we have in place to give access to the various park buildings we have in the system and the hundreds of keys that have been issued at some point over the last 8 years. This project would begin to convert these buildings from using a standard key that needs to be duplicated and sent to numerous people to access cards. This would allow us to issue and cancel cards as needed to user groups and schedule doors to be opened remotely, relieving the need to have park staff open doors for rental groups.

Budget Impact/Other

A network connection would need to be maintained at each building but would be offset by the need to have new keys made and locks changed.

Description

Replace our existing temporary lake aerators that are used on Mitchell Lake and Red Rock Lake with permanent aerators.

Justification

Currently, staff install lake aerators at Mitchell Lake and Red Rock Lake in the winter as soon as conditions allow to help prevent against winter fish kill. These aerators are very labor intensive to install and maintain and conditions can be extremely hazardous to our staff. The new permanent aerators could be turned on by one person from shore and remove the risk of multiple employees on the ice near open water. These aerators are also more effective and could be turned on earlier in the winter if oxygen levels require it.

Project # 23825

Description

The Preserve Association is experiencing flooding in the vicinity of their tennis courts. The flooding is due to runoff from Anderson Lake Parkway overtopping the curb and flowing down a slope toward the courts as well as surcharging water from a City storm sewer system next to the courts. Means of diverting and/or storing excess runoff from the right-of-way must be explored to prevent damage to the roadway and private property. The project assumes approximately 1,000 linear feet of additional storm sewer is needed. Additional costs include stormwater management/storage and procurement of easements.

Justification

The runoff overtopping the curb on Anderson Lakes Parkway could lead to erosion of the slope. This could pose a risk to the roadway and result in sedimentation in Neill Lake. The surcharging storm water may cause damage to the courts and other private property. The City is evaluating means of mitigating the flooding and also implementing water quality improvements.

Category Water Quality Improvements Type Conservation Projects Contact Lori Haak

Description

The City owns several prominent wetlands that could help further public education goals, increase City biodiversity, improve water quality, and provide greater aesthetic benefits. These wetlands have an abundance of non-native and invasive plants and require an initial investment in revegetation to improve water quality, aesthetics, and public education. The City assumes the restoration work will cost approximately $20,000 per acre with 30% contingency for maintenance. Maintenance will continue for approximately 3 years following a project to allow for successful long-term establishment of native vegetation.

Justification

The water treatment plant site will be used in combination with water treatment plant tours and the Environmental Learning Center as part of the City’s public education and outreach for its NPDES Phase II municipal stormwater permit compliance. Additionally, improving the biodiversity, aesthetics, and educational opportunities of the Glenshire site and the City Center wetland (1614-B) furthers the goals of the City's NPDES Phase II municipal stormwater permit compliance and promotes a beautiful natural environment for the City's residents.

Budget Impact/Other

Projects will include constructing or retrofitting bioretention basins; expanding storm water treatment capacity; constructing sump manholes and other in-line treatment devices; retrofitting stormwater ponds with infiltration or sand filters; or inlake and in-pond alum treatments. Improvements within the lower Riley Creek, Staring Lake, and other impaired sub watersheds will be prioritized as the City has waste load allocations for these waterbodies.

Justification

Making measurable improvements to water quality and waste load reduction within the drainage area of impaired waterbodies is a Phase II NPDES Permit requirement. In addition, most of our lakes are impaired for nutrients and Riley Creek is impaired for turbidity. Upgrading the drainage system and lake and creek ecology will help improve the water quality with a goal of delisting the lakes and creek as well as increasing the recreational values of these surface water resources.

Budget Impact/Other

The inventory program will result in a need for storm water system improvements. Depending on the number and types of problems identified in the inspection program, additional improvements beyond the amount budgeted may be required.

Project # 25808

Project Name Creek and River Corridor Restoration Projects

Description

Design, development and implementation of plans to repair, stabilize, or improve water quality within the creek and river corridors. Projects will be identified in the Local Water Management Plan, stormwater system inventory, or derived from future TMDL requirements.

Justification

The Minnesota River is impaired for sediment load. These improvements to the river and creek corridors will help meet our requirements to reduce sediment loads to the river by reducing upstream erosion and sediment transport. In addition to the water quality benefits, eroded stream channels and slope failures also pose threats to private property and public infrastructure adjacent to the failures. Areas of high risk and high vulnerability will be identified and prioritized.

Budget Impact/Other

Recently completed creek assessments and annual creek bank monitoring have resulted in a need for ongoing creek bank and river stabilization projects. Depending on the number and types of problems identified, additional improvements beyond the amount budgeted may be required. The assessments have helped to define and prioritize projects within the creek and river corridors to help stabilize severely eroded and unstable sections.

Project # 25809

Name General Storm Water Repairs and Maintenance

Description

Design, development and implementation of plans for miscellaneous repairs and improvements not currently identified as a specific project. Repairs will include potential projects as a result of the televising of high risk storm sewer alignments adjacent to the creek corridors and corroding corrugated metal pipes. This project will also include storm sewer capacity upgrades, pipe lining, and additions to address localized flooding issues. Projects will include work done by City's utilities staff or consultants depending on scope and availability of staff.

Justification

Repairs and improvements to storm sewer and storm water best management practices are critical to maintaining the integrity of the City's infrastructure and adjacent properties. Maintenance and improvements are required to be both reactive and proactive to ever changing climates and land uses. Inspection, repairs and maintenance are also required as part of the City's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).

Budget Impact/Other

The inspection program and regular monitoring of the City's infrastructure will result in a need for storm water system improvements. Depending on the number and types of problems identified in the inspection program, additional improvements beyond the amount budgeted may be required.

Project Name General Road Drainage Improvements

Road Drainage

Description

Stormwater system and curb and gutter improvements for roadway projects to meet NPDES and Watershed District requirements. This could include culvert replacements, roadway drainage improvements or other projects not currently related to a specific road project. This item will also include funding for drainage improvements to be completed along with the Pavement Management Program.

Justification

Maintaining proper drainage of the right of way creates a safer driving experience and prolong the lifespan of the bituminous pavement. Additionally, nuisance drainage conditions often manifest as ice in winter and require the application of extra road salt. Thus, fixing drainage issues may reduce chloride pollution.

Budget Impact/Other

This budget item provides the flexibility needed to maintain and repair our storm water system on an ongoing basis to help prevent major projects in the future. Depending on the number and types of problems identified during the engineering analysis, additional improvements beyond the amount budgeted may be required. Useful Life 25 years

Project # 25811

Project Name Sweeping

Description

The City currently conducts annual street sweeping in the spring and fall. Additional street sweeping within the sub watersheds of impaired water bodies can prevent pollutants from reaching the waterbodies.

Justification

Making measurable improvements to water quality and waste load reduction within the drainage area of impaired waterbodies is a Phase II NPDES Permit requirement. In addition, most of our lakes are impaired for nutrients and Riley Creek is impaired for turbidity. Prioritized additional sweepings within the sub watersheds of impaired waterbodies improves water quality with the ultimate goal of delisting these waterbodies.

Budget Impact/Other

Enhanced street sweeping is widely recognized as one of the most cost effective means of reducing pollutant loading to impaired water bodies. More frequent sweeping may also result in less sedimentation into City-maintained stormwater ponds, which should reduce the need for costly dredging projects. Useful Life

City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota

Project # 25812

Description

The City maintains over 800 stormwater ponds as part of its Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). These ponds provide pollutant reduction for runoff from the right of way prior to it discharging to lakes, streams, and rivers. However, over time, the ponds become less effective at pollutant removal as sediment accumulates. The City evaluates bathymetric data from the ponds to determine which ponds have excessive sedimentation and provide the most water quality benefit. The City also inspects all of its ponds at least once every five years. Ponds with excessive sedimentation that inhibits their pollutant removal or impedes the flow of water through the pond need to be dredged to maintain their design functionality and protect downstream resources.

Justification

Pond dredging can lower pollutant loading to impaired waterbodies as well as improve the utility of the pond at conveying stormwater runoff. Making measurable improvements to water quality and waste load reduction within the drainage area of impaired waterbodies is a Phase II NPDES Permit requirement. In addition, most of our lakes are impaired for nutrients and Riley Creek is impaired for turbidity. Pond dredging within these sub watersheds is prioritized to continue waste load reductions to these waterbodies. Additionally, the City's ongoing pond inventory program evaluates which ponds as most beneficial and cost-effective form a pollutant removal standpoint.

Budget Impact/Other

Due to the number and the age of many of the ponds in the City, pond dredging is an ongoing maintenance program needed to ensure the proper functionality of the City's storm system. The City's ongoing pond inventory program evaluates which ponds are most beneficial and cost-effective from a pollutant removal standpoint. This allows the City to be judicious in its prioritization of ponds and avoid unneeded dredging. Finally, the City inspects all pond inlets and outlets at least once every five years, which allows us to evaluate if excessive sedimentation could obstruct inlets and outlets and inhibit flow.

Project # 25817

Project Name City Center Stormwater Quality Improvements Category Water Quality Improvements

Description

Runoff from City Center is currently not treated prior to discharge. Pollutants from the building and parking area then discharge into downstream wetlands, lakes, and rivers. Additionally, there are some drainage and snow storage deficiencies within the parking lot which can be improved.

Justification

The implementation of stormwater best management practices at City Center that exceed the requirements of the City and Watershed District will result in additional reductions of nutrients and sediment within the Staring Lake sub watershed. Staring Lake is currently impaired for nutrients. Additionally, low-salt design improvements to the City Center parking lot will reduce chloride loading to downstream waterbodies. Finally, the stormwater and chloride-reduction BMPs implemented at City Center can serve as a public educational tool.

Budget Impact/Other

By coordinating the project with improvements to the City Center associated with the Police Station remodel project, the City hopes that these improvements can be implemented in a cost effective manner and minimize disruptions. Useful Life 25 years

Project Name Fire Station 4 Rain Garden Improvements

Description

The raingardens at Fire Station 4 are overrun by non-native and invasive plants and require an initial investment in revegetation to improve water quality, aesthetics, and public education.

Justification

The location of the gardens (between the Fire Station and Dell Road) is highly visible. The rehabilitation of the raingardens will make them an asset to water quality and aesthetics. The adjacent child care center will be invited to participate in the process as part of the City’s public education and outreach for its NPDES Phase II municipal stormwater permit compliance.

Budget Impact/Other

By investing in the aesthetics and water quality benefits of the rain gardens at Fire Station 4, the City can minimize future ongoing maintenance costs for the basins.

Project Name Welters Way Culvert Lining

Department Storm Water Utility

Contact Patrick Sejkora

Useful Life 40 years

Category Public Works Type Improvement

Description

The Welters Way culvert is the outlet of pond 23-43-C that discharges to Purgatory Creek. 23-43-C receives drainage from a considerable and highly developed drainage area that includes Neill Lake, Eden Prairie Center, and Eden Lake. The existing culvert is a 65" x 40" corrugated metal arch pipe that has upwards of 14 feet of fill over it and is in close proximity to existing homes.

Justification

Given the age of the pipe (1987), it is nearing the end of its functional lifespan. Many other corrugated metal pipes in the City of similar age, including an identical culvert that was an inlet to the pond, have been lined or replaced due to corrosion or separation. Based on a limited visual inspection, it appears there is some minor separation at the first visible pipe joint. A failure of the pipe could result in flood risk to surrounding upstream homes and could risk the foundations of the two adjacent homes. Replacement of the existing culvert would be highly disruptive and challenging due to the depth of fill over it and proximity to the homes. Therefore, lining of the pipe is the most feasible option to extend its lifespan and minimize disruption.

Budget Impact/Other

Lining the culvert is a far more economical option compared to trenching while offering a comparable functional lifespan.

Category Utility Operations

Description

Purchase of new truck mounted hydroexcavator - new utility fleet item

Justification

Growing demand for locating underground utilities in rights of way full of buried systems has made our Vactor in high demand for its vacuum suction capability. This is a type of mission creep into our sewer cleaning that would be better addressed by a hydroexcavator and would not interfere with sewer maintenance. Additionally a hydroexcavator system is better equipped for this purpose and would not negatively impact the redundancy desired for our sewer cleaning equipment. Wear and tear on our existing Vactor when used for this role makes it less likely to be available for sewer maintenance.

Purchase of wastewater Jetter in 2025 and Vactor in 2030. Both of these vehicles are replacements of existing vehicles used in the maintenance of wastewater infrastructure. The Jetter will replace the existing International Vactor and the Vactor will replace the existing Mack Vactor.

Justification

These two vehicles will reach the end of their service life in the proposed purchase year. After those dates, they become more unreliable and costly to keep in operation. These vehicles perform critical tasks in keeping the wastewater system functioning and help to eliminate or reduce the number of wastewater backups.

Budget Impact/Other

Both vehicles were originally purchased by the utility enterprise. However, because they were not depreciated by Fleet Services for their future replacement, they will be purchased by the Wastewater Enterprise.

Name Annual Well Rehabilitation (177310)

Description

Annual Major Well Maintenance Program is performed on two wells per year. Each well goes through this program every 8 years. Rehabilitation consists of test pumping the well to obtain a base-line of performance, removing all down-hole well equipment, inspecting all components, rebuilding or replacing the pump as needed, replacing all line-shaft bearings, replacing corroded column sections as needed, painting column pipe sections as required per installation, machining or replacing line-shaft sections as needed, overhauling the electric motor, televising the casing, televising the open hole, redeveloping the well as needed, and re-assembling and reinstalling all equipment. Where appropriate, the budget includes additional money for column pipe recoating and well house improvements. The well rehabilitation projects include plans to replace the variable frequency drives (VFDs), primary logic controllers (PLCs), and SCADA system components as needed, however this may be determined to be best performed for multiple wells at the same time in the future for economies of scale.

Justification

Well equipment, especially the components which are either immersed in water or are suspended within the damp, dark well column is very susceptible to corrosion and therefore must be inspected periodically to prevent failure. Additionally, moving mechanical components of the system experience fair-wear-and-tear through normal operation and must be periodically disassembled and inspected for degradation and repaired or replaced as needed. Industry practice with the water quality we have in Minnesota dictates a routine major maintenance interval of approximately 8 years. Longer periods between inspection and repair risks system performance reduction and potential system failure at times we can least afford to have a well unavailable to us.

Budget Impact/Other

Over time by performing these periodic maintenance projects, the life cycle electrical cost of each well will be less because the pumps will be maintained at a high state of efficiency. Without this service, well pumps experience unresolved wear and erosion which diminishes each pump's efficiency. Lower efficiency equates to

the same

Project Name Watermain Rehab & Valve Replacement (207040)

Description

This project includes the replacement of corroded bolts in gate valves in streets planned to be reconditioned in the pavement management program. Every other year of this ongoing project includes the re-lining of up-to two blocks or 1,200 feet of water main.

Justification

This annual maintenance activity will ensure water leaks will be addressed prior to the restoration of a street, thus avoiding digging up a new bituminous surface shortly after it has been installed. This is preventive maintenance. Additionally, as leaks develop in water main and lead us to see that segments of these water mains are experiencing a greater probability of failure, we are budgeting for the replacement of up to two-city blocks of water main every-other year on the even numbered years.

Budget Impact/Other

Programming intentional maintenance of these areas will hopefully reduce the amount of emergency repairs needed later, thus reducing employee overtime and contractor after hours fees.

Category Water Distribution

Description

Water Distribution Project 7040 is intended to investigate segments of our public watermain to identify ductile iron pipe that can be expected to fail sooner than later. This project encompasses support by consultants and contractors using various digital assessment methods and will allow us to determine which of these techniques best facilitate our goal of proactively finding and replacing/repairing watermain before it breaks on its own.

Justification

Each year between 20 and 60 leaks occur in the public water distribution system. Repairing these leaks is costly, especially since they normally involve after-hours work by both city crews and our contractors. Additionally, these reactionary emergency repairs only address one small portion of the leaking pipe that happens to be corroded bad enough to spring a leak. Other portions of the pipe may also be decaying, but we are unable to unearth more than the area necessary to perform the repair to investigate the condition of the watermain nearby. These leaks can be very sporadic, occurring in pipe that is otherwise in excellent condition. Digital and AI guided pipeline assessment studies can hopefully identify for us these problem areas allowing us to schedule watermain repairs in a more efficient and cost-effective manner.

Budget Impact/Other

Our hope is that our annual expenditure for emergency leak repairs will diminish over time. Each repair costs us roughly $10,000 in contract costs in addition to materials, employee overtime, and equipment hours.

Project # 25750

Name Bldg Expansion & Geothermal Heat (247021)

Description

This project consists of three major improvements to the water treatment building:

1)Adds modern heat recovery HVAC using treated water in a geothermal heating/cooling system which will replace the aging, conventional system in use today.

2)Adds conference/training room above the system which can seat all the local 49 members.

3)It adds three to four additional office spaces/work rooms for staff.

Justification

The water treatment plant has several large and expensive conventional heating, cooling, and dehumidification systems which require replacement by the end of the decade. Conventional heating and cooling systems are cheaper up-front, but require more energy to operate. A geothermal system would operate efficiently and inexpensively using the city's natural supply of year-round 50degree water. Payback for geothermal systems is typically experienced within 20 years, but we believe a system of this type will achieve even greater efficiencies given the ability to capture water already pumped by the treatment process. We plan to build onto the east side of the building where the present patio is located. The structure would be sized large enough to provide a training/conference room on the second floor and up to four office spaces on the lower floor, which is included in the budget.

Name Water Meter Change-Out System Wide (157060)

Description

Purchase and installation of a water meter system which provides continuous, ongoing water use data through integrated technology.

Justification

Our existing water meters throughout the community are nearing or exceeding their useful life due to the diminishing power of the onboard battery packs. Without replacement, we cannot gather water sales information from failed meters unless we manually read each water meter. Currently, we read our nearly 19,000 residential water meters, and just under 1000 commercial and irrigation water meters using a mobile automatic meter reading system (AMR) installed in one of our vehicles. This method requires a utility employee to drive by each address to obtain the water use data. Prior to each meter reading cycle, the mobile computer system must be uploaded with the latest route information exported from our utility billing software, the GIS map has to be verified each month, resulting from new meter installations or meter change-outs, and there is an associated 2-hours of administrative preparation and data transfer needed to perform each meter reading cycle. The water metering systems would require far less administrative set-up and data transfer time, since the system would be operating in real-time, all the time. We would also not be dependent on labor schedules to obtain meter data, and the resulting savings in labor should improve our ability to manage the field operations work-load. Additionally, users will be able to obtain information about water use more frequently which will reduce wasted water and should minimize unnecessary water consumption.

Budget Impact/Other

New technology will require a cellular service fee of approximately 65-cents per account, which will go into effect the month installation occurs. Service fees will be paid from the O&M budget. Present day AMR reading performed by our staff is at least 25-cents per account,

Type Wells

Useful Life 50 years

Category Water Supply / Wells

Description

This project includes funding for upgrading the site surrounding two city utility properties, including Well No. 9 and Baker Road Reservoir. In order to rehabilitate Well 9 in 2024, the sound wall on the south side of the well had to be removed to make room for the service equipment. The sound barrier was positioned close to the building, necessitating its removal for the project. When it is replaced after conclusion of the project, it will be moved approximately 40 feet to the south to prevent future access problems. Permanent earthwork and road treatment will be necessary to accommodate this change which will include a larger parking apron on which to position the service truck and a pipe transport truck. The second site included in this project is the Baker Road Water Storage Reservoir, which is located behind the Lifetime Fitness facility at the SE corner of the intersection of Baker Road and Crosstown highway (MN 62). The water storage site is overgrown with buckthorn, has a crumbling roadway surface, needs a gravel path around the base of the tank replaced by bituminous asphalt, and the aging fence (1980 vintage) needs updating. This site will serve as the access to the north Eden Prairie monument sign, and the upgrade will be performed after construction traffic is completed for the US 494 monument sign project.

Justification

Both the well site and the water storage site have needed upgrading for several years, and two unrelated construction projects have made the timing appropriate for this CIP period. When Well No. 9 started showing signs of sand in the pumped well water, it became apparent that the downhole well cavity was in need of substantial redevelopment to eliminate the loose sand. The redevelopment project has been separately coordinated for completion in 2024, however in order to gain access to the wellhouse with a large well service truck, a number of site modifications had to be temporarily made. The temporary changes were performed within the minimal budget available for the 2024 well rehabilitation CIP project, however a more permanent solution is offered in this project that will enable future well maintenance activities to be easily performed without removing sound barriers and extending the scope and duration of these maintenance projects. Replacement of an aging, wooden retaining wall and expanding the site a few feet backward into the hill slope is included in the scope of this project.

The second site at Baker Road Reservoir takes advantage of restoring the site following the use of this property to access the work area to construct the city's new monument sign along I494 adjacent to the reservoir. The budget within this project is intended to replace the access roadway, remove buckthorn and other invasive vegetation, trim trees, replace fences, and add a bituminous surface to the gravel trail surrounding the base of the water tank.

Description

The washwater tank is a 75,000 gallon water reservoir used for backwashing each of the 13 water filters within the water treatment plant. Decades ago the vent on the washwater tank froze shut in the winter and when the water was emptied from the tank to wash a filter, the vacuum buckled the tank. Temporary repairs covered the tank with a thick foam to conceal the heavily wrinkled tank for many years. A permanent repair was made in approximately 2008 and the coating system on the exterior was redone. The interior of the tank received spot painting over the welded portions and has been periodically inspected. This particular project will recoat the entire tank inside and out which should last for another 30 years. The previous coatings even with spot painting have greatly exceeded their normal lifespan. Additionally the outside CO2 tank has been in place since the 1980s and is in need of recoating. This tank will be included in the project.

Justification

Project Name High Service Pumps & MCC Upgrade (197022)

Rick Wahlen

Description

This project replaces the existing 2800 volt high service pump motors and aging 1974 electrical motor control centers, includes constructing deeper pump wells to allow access to most of the onsite plant water storage. New pumps and 480 volt motors with variable frequency drives will operate more efficiently and save the city thousands of dollars each operational year in electrical demand charges and will allow for reduced pumping rates at lower electrical cost. Pumping capacity from this location will be increased from the previous design.

Justification

We have 5 high service pumps which operate at 2800 volts energized by what is known as 'cross-the-line-starters,' meaning that these motors receive a fully energized circuit upon start-up, and they draw full-amperage at 2800 volts the instant the switch is closed (the highest amp-draw from a motor that is not locked). This system is obsolete, and we cannot purchase variable frequency drives to power this voltage of motor because nobody manufactures them. Without a variable frequency drive, these motors consume the maximum amount of electrical power possible during the moment they start up, causing the city's electricity demand charge to be at maximum. This results in much larger electrical fees than we would have if variable frequency drives could be utilized. Additionally, the motor control cabinets are archaic and were designed before arc-flash was completely understood - thus these panels are very complicated to work on and most electricians will not service them. These pumps can be crucial during peak summer flow periods, so it is important to make the electrical systems safer to maintain and cheaper to operate.

Following reconstruction, this pump station will experience a much lower demand charge from Xcel Energy and ongoing operational expenses should be no greater than the previous system. Electrical Energy savings is anticipated.

Project # 27721

Project Name Filter Valve Replacement

Description

All valve actuators and valve positioners are critical components for the operation of each filter in the water treatment plant. Valve actuators are the pneumatic powered valve-turning systems enabling the filter control valves to open or close and maintain a variable position to keep each filter flowing at a steady rate. The positioners are the digital control devices establishing the amount of air applied to each actuator maintaining the valve at the prescribed position. These electronic devices were upgraded in 2010 and will be 20 years old.

Justification

Valve actuators and valve positioners are critical components of the water treatment plant's flow control system. Not only are these devices in constant use every day, but they are also in a state of continuous motion, driven by responses to changes in water pressure to achieve a constant and sustainable flow of water through the filters. As filters become laden with sediment and collect particulate matter from the softening basins, flow through the filters reduces and the control system must open the valves below the filters in small amounts, incrementally increasing the valve position in order to keep the volume of water leaving the filters at the value prescribed by the treatment plant operator. As head loss builds in the filters, the pressure differential between the top of the filters and the filter underdrains increases, but this increase is not linear. It trends linearly over time, but does so in countless small steps that result in the valves opening and closing in minor swings of open/close/open/close over and over again.

This complicated system has been in continuous service since each of the devices were installed and placed into operation in stages during the years 1977, 1982, 1988, and 1997. The oldest valve actuators are 50 years old at the time of this project being introduced. The newest ones will be 33 years old when this project begins.

Project # 28720

Name Basin 4 Reconditioning (277021)

Description

This project provides for the sandblasting and repainting of the 10 million gallon per day lime softening and clarification basins that were constructed in the last of the plant expansion projects. All of the other clarifiers have been recoated. These basins have been in continuous service in an extremely caustic environment (pH of 12) since 1997 and after 30 years of service will be in need of recoating. The steel in these clarifiers has been maintained well by the treatment plant staff with annual cleaning and spot painting. The recoating interval for water towers which are exposed to much gentler conditions is 25 years, so for an underwater metallic system to last this long without repainting is a testament to the maintenance work of the operators maintaining these systems.

Justification

The paint coating system was installed in 1996-1997 and has been in continuous immersion since that time. Had our employees not performed such thorough annual maintenance which included rust repairs and spot-painting, the coating system would almost surely require recoating at or before 20 years. As it is, we are planning for its recoating at year 30 based on its present condition.

Project # 28721

Project Name Filter Optimization Improvements

Description

This project performs the rehabilitation work recommended by project 25722 (Filter Evaluation) on 3 filters. Following the completion of these improvements, the performance of the 3 filters will be evaluated over the next year to assess the effectiveness of the improvements before performing the remainder of the work on the rest of the filters. Anticipated work includes filter media replacement and disposal of the old media, new washwater arms, washwater pipe reconditioning, and repair of cracked or leaking underdrain tiles.

Justification

Filters approaching 50 years in service are due for reconditioning. Previous filter assessments performed in the 1990s and in 2007 suggest the timing of this project.

Project Name WTP Garage Expansion 60x50 (297023)

Department Water Utility

Contact Rick Wahlen

Type Facilities/Buildings/Environmental Cont

Useful Life 50 years

Category Utility Operations

Description

Construction of a 60x50 foot garage structure at the water treatment plant on the southwest corner of the facility.

Justification

In both the water treatment plant building and the field operations shop, vehicles are stacked and double-stacked to make room inside during the winter cold and snow, and especially during winter thunderstorms. Some of our vehicles suffered hail damage in the past, and we are 'stuffing' vehicles into the tightest spaces to get them out of the weather. A good example is the use of our sludge dumping garage as parking spaces for many of our vehicles. The city trucks/vans/cars are pulled into the bays in front-of and adjacent to the semi-trailers and they must be moved to make room for sludge retrieval. The utility buildings were never designed to accommodate the current fleet. The cost estimate provided includes full heating, but a cold-storage option would be acceptable.

Budget Impact/Other

Vehicles will experience less wear-and-tear from startups, there will be less likelihood of accidental fender-benders, and hail dents will be far less likely. Parking indoors diminishes the ongoing winter stress on engines, etc., so we expect this could extend the lifespan of our fleet vehicles. Utility costs to heat and light the structure will increase and should be planned in the O&M budget.

Project # 30720

Project Name Chemical Storage Tank Replacement (317320)

Description

Replacement of aging water treatment plant storage tanks containing ferric chloride and fluoride. The existing tanks were installed in the building before the walls/ceiling were completed, so they are built-in. Replacement tanks would have to be installed through an opening in the roof for the water, cut large enough to allow the tank to be passed inside. The existing fiberglass tank is getting brittle and approaching the end of its useful life.

Justification

The fluoride and ferric chloride storage tanks within the water treatment plant building are constructed of fiberglass and are showing signs of becoming brittle with age and exposure to the harsh chemicals. We've been advised that replacing these tanks within the next few years would be wise. The chemicals are required in our treatment process and cannot be eliminated.

Project Name Lime Slaker Replacement (287021)

Description

This project replaces the existing Wallace and Tiernan Lime Slakers (chemical feed systems) after their useful life has been exceeded.

Justification

Lime slakers operate in a very caustic environment which is extremely corrosive to metal parts. We are very deliberate about cleaning the slakers frequently and replace parts as they are needed to ensure the machines function and remain in good shape. However the core body of the slakers are not replaceable, they contain the caustic paste solution which over the years corrodes away the metal. Based on industry experience, we believe we should be able to operate these systems until 2032 without having to totally replace the machines. We have four slakers, and plan to replace them sequentially in the same year to take advantage of bidding all together for the best price. We will continue doing above-average maintenance and plan to extend the life of these machines approximately 20 years beyond the industry rated lifecycle of the system.

Project Name Filter Press Replacement (327020)

Description

This project replaces the existing old sludge blow-down and material transport system in the treatment plant with durable, energy efficient sludge handling equipment.

Justification

We have been advised that much of the filter press may be costly and a challenge to maintain in the next 5-to-10 years because the company which bought out the press manufacturer from Perrin Press has been sold again to a company that has its own dewatering technology. We are hopeful this press may be in use for years to come, but if it becomes obsolete, we will need to come up with another solution for our residuals. This line-item is a place holder which we will only use if absolutely necessary. All things degrade over time, and we will continue performing strong preventive maintenance to fend off failure.
