. (a) LETTING NO. 8, PROJECT NO. 05-10 (GOLF COURSE ROAD NW) — ORDERING IMPROVEMENT
AND PREPARATION OF PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS
Motion by Peterson, second by Stotts, to open public hearing. Motion carried unanimously.
John Rodeberg, Director of Public Works, stated that this project has been contemplated for 12 -15 years. It
is now being proposed as a municipal state aid highway.
Kent Exner, City Engineer, gave a presentation on what was presented at the Neighborhood Meeting on
January 31, 2005. The main project drivers include a deteriorating street with high maintenance; existing
narrow, rural road design; roadway section thickness must be increased; provide alternative route to
developing areas; installation of trunk sanitary sewer and watermain and a trail connection between School
Road trail and Luce Line trail.
Mr. Exner continued to cover the pavement, storm water and infrastructure management of the road. The
proposed street improvements include completely removing the existing pavement, gravel and unsuitable
subgrade materials; grade the new Golf Course Road extension; construct 32' and 44 wide roadways with
bituminous surfacing, concrete curb and utter and street lighting; increase the new street section to provide
a 10 -ton roadway design; install a 10' wide bituminous trail along the southerly and westerly sides of the
respective roadways; and construct a roundabout intersection at the junction of Golf Course Road and 5
Avenue NW. Utilities improvements include installing an 18' PVC sanitary sewer trunk main Vithin the
Golf Course Road extension; installing 8' and 12' PVC watermains within Golf Course Road/5 Avenue
NW and the Golf Course Road extension; replacing existing water and sanitary sewer service lines up to the
property line; and installing a storm sewer system to collect, convey and treat drainage within the roadway
corridors.
The City will pa for the sanitary sewer and watermain construction, street oversizing, trail installation and
• street lighting. The property owner will pay for sanitary sewer and water service replacements, standard

residential street improvements, and drainage improvements. The total estimated project cost is $2.6
million. Mr. Exner then covered assessment information and payment options for the project.
• General discussion was held regarding having the proper size of piping in for the watermains and appropriate
ponding. General discussion was also held regarding roundabouts vs. four -way stops.
Don Gilbertson, resident, presented before the Council. Mr. Gilbertson feels that his property would be
affected adversely with the trail being 40 -feet from his front yard and some spruce trees may be effected,
Mr. Gilbertson also has issues with the actual need for and the cost of the trail. He is uncomfortable with the
road being lowered and his inability to construct a fence on his property.
John Rodeberg explained that some of the issues of Mr. Gilbertson's can be addressed and staff will work
with him.
Ron Bode, Greensview Court, has concerns on how the assessments are calculated for his neighborhood,
which is off of Golf Course Road. John Rodeberg explained that 100 feet of the property will be assessed,
which will total approximately $350 per home.
Motion by Arndt, second by Peterson, to close public hearing. Motion carried unanimously.
Motion by Stotts, second by Haugen, to order improvement and prepare plans and specifications on Letting
No. 8, Project No. 05 -10. Motion carried unanimously.

Lawrence Winter, Parks Coordinator, presented before the Council, Mr, Winter explained that this public
hearing is a requirement of the grant application being submitted to the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources. Mr. Winter explained the proposed development project and the layout of the project. A picnic
shelter, play areas and an overlook will be included in the project. The grant application for this project
intends to be submitted this week and the City should hear back on it this summer.
Mr. Winter then reviewed past grants the City has received and for which parks. They include Oddfellows
Park, Tartan Park, Riverside Park, Second Avenue Shoreline, and Rotary Park. Total grant dollars received
in the last four years have totaled more than $150,000.
No costs will be assessed to community members on this project and the park sponsor, Drift Riders, will
cover the remaining costs, along with other private donations. The project will be completed by Fall 2006.
Councilmember Arndt noted that he is a member of the Drift Riders and they have already donated much
time and money to get the park where it is today.

9, NEW BUSINESS
(a) CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH DONOHUE
& ASSOCIATES FOR THE INDUSTRIAL PRETREATMENT PROGRAM UPDATE
John Rodeberg, Director of Public Works, presented before the Council. Mr. Rodeberg explained that the
industrial pretreatment program has not been charged significantly since 1987, Due to a change in
. regulations, staff is recommending that the program be reviewed and updated to come into compliance.
�A [a)
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES — FERRUARY ll, 2005
Because Hutchinson has two large industrial users, and potential other industries that need to be regulated,
4D this program does need to be updated. The costs associated with the agreement will not exceed $42,000 and
was budgeted in the wastewater budget.
Motion by Arndt, second by Haugen, to approve engineering services agreement with Donohue & Associates
for industrial pretreatment program update. Motion carried unanimously.
(b) CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE REVISING SEWER RATES RELATED TO
BOD SURCHARGE (WAIVE FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 05 -0400 AND SET SECOND
READING AND ADOPTION FOR MARCH 8, 2005)
John Rodeberg, Director of Public Works, presented before the Council. Mr. Rodeber$ explained that these
rates and calculation processes have not been updated since 1987. A large industry in the City, HTI, has
expressed that these rates are much higher than other communities and have created an uncompetitive
situation in Hutchinson. HTI is acceptable with the new, proposed rate of a maximum of $32/lb. It was
noted that the rates are proposed to take effect on July 1, 2005, and that a complete rate study will be
proposed.
Motion by Arndt, second by Haugen, to approve revising sewer rates related to BOD surcharges, waiving the
first reading and set second reading of Ordinance No. 05 -0400 for March 8, 2005. Mayor Cook noted that he
would like further discussions to be held with HTI prior to the next Council meeting. Motion carried
unanimously.
(c) DISCUSSION OF PRIVATE HANGAR ISSUES AT HUTCHINSON MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
John Olson, Public Works Superintendent, presented before the Council. Mr. Olson explained that a City
resident, Tim Miller, requested that this item be put on tonight's agenda in relation to private hangars at the
municipal airport. Mr. Miller presented before the Council. Mr. Miller explained that he had interest in
building a private han gar at the airport and in July 2004, the Airport Commission granted him the authority
to do so, in a specific location. Mr, Miller stated that he began to g0 out for bids for construction and was
. under the impression that he had 18 months to construct a hangar. Mr. Miller continued by stating that Joe
Dooley requested in December 2004 to build a hangar as well. Because Mr. Dooley turned in his building
permit paperwork before Mr. Miller, he was granted the "first spot" available to construct a hangar. Mr.
Miller stated that he has contacted a lawyer regarding this issue and his lawyer is recommending that the
Council either approve the property for Mr. Miller or to table this item until it can be researched further.
Julie Wischnack, Director of Planning/Zoning/Building, explained that the Planning Commission approved a
conditional use permit for an entire row at the airport and not an individual conditional use permit for Mr.
Miller and Mr. Dooley.
Marc Sebora, City Attorney, stated that his recollection was that a lease would need to be entered into before
a hangar could be constructed. This lease also needs to be approved by the City Council. Mr. Sebora stated
that since a lease has not been drafted yet, he does not feel that there is an issue to decide tonight.
Motion by Stotts, second by Arndt, to withhold formal action on this issue until a formal lease is agreed
upon by the parties. Motion carried unanimously.
John Olson explained that a couple of years ago, Joe Dooley, had proposed constructing a commercial grade
hangar, but due to personal reasons, withdrew his request.
(d) CONSIDERATION OF DOWNTOWN STREETSCAPE PROPOSAL
Mayor Cook clarified that this alternative proposal is his and not City staff s. Mayor Cook stated that his
alternative proposal to the plan that was adopted at the last Council meeting is to replace the existing lights
with the new style lights and refurbish the traffic signal poles. In the future when Main Street is
reconstructed, then the sidewalks can be replaced, the fifth light per block can be added and other associated
• work can be completed. Mayor Cook feels that this alternative proposal would address the most pressing
4
y(a)
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES — FEBRUARY 22, 2005
lighting needs, would be less costly and have less assessments on downtown property owners, Mayor Cook
also cited several other advantages of this proposal. Mayor Cook asked if the Council would like to seek
bids on this proposal and compare costs to the plan that was approved at the last meeting.
Miles Seppelt, EDA Director, presented before the Council. Mr. Seppelt explained that the current wiring is
36 years old and there is concern on how much longer it will adequately last. Mr. Seppelt also expressed
that it is unknown whether or not the lighting level will actually be increased with the alternative proposal.
The consultants on the project informed Mr. Seppelt that there is a 50/50 chance that the sidewalk will need
to be ripped up even with the alternative proposal. Mayor Cook stated that Hutchinson Utilities Commission
should be able to answer capacity questions rather quickly. Mayor Cook noted that he is not requesting that
this alternative proposal replace the plan that was approved, but just compared to the approved plan.
Councilmember Arndt stated that at the last Council meeting, the Council approved moving forward with the
project in order to obtain more concrete assessment numbers.
Matt McMillan, Hutchinson Leader, presented before the Council. Mr. McMillan stated that the second
Dpurpose of the improved streetlights and sidewalks is to revitalize downtown, On behalf of the Hutchinson
owntown Association he requested that the Council proceed with the plan as approved at the last Council
meeting.
Mayor Cook noted that he feels the Council should have the opportunity to meet as a public body on this
specific project.
Councilmember Stotts stated that he feels this alternative proposal should be considered. John Rodeberg
explained the bidding process.
The Council members discussed various options, but noted that delaying the project or preparing a second
option has other costs. A new feasibility report would be needed in order to consider this alternative option,
and this would take a month to prepare and cost approximately $20,000.
Councilmember Stotts stated that while the Mayor's proposal had merit, it was probably just too late in the
process to go back and consider other options,
John Rodeberg noted that a meeting was going to be held Thursday to discuss the scope of the project and
review options to reduce costs.
No action was taken.
(e) CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF ESTABLISHING MONTHLY COUNCIL WORKSHOP
MEETING
Gary Plotz discussed the background of the identified need for a more formal workshop time. A suggestion
was made to look at meeting the first Tuesday of the month. Council members discussed a desire to meet in
coordination with a regular Council meeting, instead of on a separate day. Discussion focused on setting the
time to 3:30 p,m. prior to the regular meeting on the second Tuesday of the month. The Council Members
discussed pros and cons of various start times.
Motion by Peterson, second by Arndt, to approve establishing monthly Council workshop meetings for 3:30
p.m. prior to the regular meeting on the second Tuesday of the month. Motion carried unanimously.
(f) CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF SETTING BOARD OF EQUALIZATION MEETING FOR
MAY 19, 2005 AT 4:30 P.M.
Motion by Peterson, second by Stotts, to approve setting Board of Equalization meeting for May 19, 2005, at

This letter provides a proposal for engineering services related to the replacement of the belt
filter press control panels at the wastewater treatment facility (WWTF).
Project Description
The City of Hutchinson plans to replace the control panels (2) for the belt filter presses located at .
S the WWTF. These panels provide power and control signals for the operation of the belt filter
presses, coordinate operations with the sludge dryer and provide supervisory signals to the main
control panel at the WWTF Administration Building (Building 10).
An equipment vendor provided the City with a proposed specification for the control panels,
including system operation, sequence of operation, select materials specifications and general
project considerations. Under this proposal, the City of Hutchinson will provide the power and
control wiring using a licensed electrician.
Prior to implementing the replacement of the panels, the design parameters of the equipment
should be evaluated relative to the design and desired operating conditions, other suggested
equipment revisions and potential impacts to other systems. The following Scope of Services
addresses these issues.
Scope of Services
Earth Tech, Inc. proposes the following work to assist the City with the replacement of the belt
filter press control panels:
Review existing functional operation of dewatering and drying systems with staff and
compare to proposed system operation and sequence of operation.

Minneapolis, MN 55441 v -earthtech.com
This letter provides a proposal to provide engineering services related to the replacement of the
clarifier mechanisms and drives, including rehabilitation of the fiberglass covers.
Project Description
The final clarifiers at the wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) were installed in 1987 -88, when
the facility was originally constructed. The mechanisms and drives are over 15 years old, which
is the normal service life for this type of equipment.
The City has received a proposal from an equipment vendor to replace the clarifier equipment,
including options to rehabilitate the fiberglass covers, which must be removed to replace the
equipment. The quotation includes detail about the equipment to be replaced, but does not
include technical specifications for electrical materials, cover rehabilitation, concrete structure
rehabilitation and select materials of equipment components. The quotation also includes terms
and conditions, including payment terms, which should be incorporated into bid documents.
Prior to implementing the replacement of equipment in the clarifiers, the vendor - supplied
quotation should be revised to meet the City's requirements. While the quotation provides
technical details about the clarifier mechanism and associated equipment, several items are not
detailed and should be included in the project specifications. Further, because of the estimated
cost of the project, which may exceed $400,000, the City will need to bid the replacement of this
equipment, which requires bidding documents.
The following Scope of Services addresses these issues and provides support during bidding
and construction.

WWTF Bldg 20 Bar Screen Upgrade
Dear Mr. DeVries:
3033 Campus Drive F 763.551.1001
Suite 290 F 763.551.2499
Minneapolis, MN 55441 www.eerthtech.wm
This letter provides a proposal to conduct preliminary engineering design services to replace and
upgrade the bar screens and associated equipment at Building 20, the raw wastewater pumping
station.
Project Description
The main raw wastewater pumping station, known as Building 20, was constructed as part of the
wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) improvements in 1987 -88. Within Building 20, wastewater
is screened to remove large solids and then pumped to the headworks building (Building 30) at
the WWTF. Within Building 30, wastewater is again screened, this time to remove fine solids and
then flows by gravity to the oxidation ditches for biological treatment.
The bar screens at Building 20 have a service life of 15 years, which is typical for equipment of
this type in a corrosive environment. Maintenance of the bar screens has increased dramatically
over the last few years, providing confirmation that the service life has been reached. Therefore,
the City wants to replace the existing bar screens.
The existing bar screen system was designed to remove large solids, which primarily protects
the pumps in Building 20, but also reduces the loading to the fine screens in Building 30. With
replacement of the bar screens, the City would like to reduce the bar spacing to 0.25 inches,
which will further reduce the loading to the fine screens in Building 30 and, possibly, reduce
odors emanating from Building 30. This revision to the bar screen system modifies the WWTF
design parameters and may increase the generation of odors at Building 20.
The City has received a proposal from an equipment vendor to replace the existing bar screen
system with new equipment, including:

Two automatic bar screens with 0.25 inch bar spacing.
2. Two screw conveyors to transport screenings to the surface.
3. Screenings washer to reduce odors.
4. Associated control equipment
Prior to implementing the replacement and upgrade of the bar screen system at Building 20, the
design parameters of the equipment should be evaluated relative to the WWTF design
conditions, regulatory requirements, other required building revisions and potential impacts to
other systems. The following Scope of Services addresses these issues.
Scope of Services
Earth Tech, Inc. proposes the following work to evaluate the potential upgrade of bar screens at
Building 20:
1. Review existing and available operational data, record building plans and proposed bar
screen system to evaluate existing and proposed conditions for an upgrade to the bar
screens. This evaluation will be based on the current 13 mgd design flow for
Building 20.
2. Evaluate potential solids loadings and hydraulic properties of the proposed upgrade and
compare to design conditions. Recommend up to two (2) alternatives, if appropriate.
3. Evaluate the need for structural modifications to Building 20 in order to accommodate
the upgrade of the proposed bar screen system, based on record building plans.
4. Conduct a Site Evaluation to confirm conditions at Building 20, verify preliminary
estimates for modifications to the building and address construction staging /sequencing
issues. A process and structural engineer will participate in the Site Evaluation.
5. Prepare a Conceptual Design Memorandum, summarizing the findings and forwarding a
recommendation for replacing and upgrading the bar screen system at Building 20.
Earth Tech will complete these services for a lump sum cost of $7,750. The Conceptual Design
Memorandum can be completed within 45 calendar days of authorization to proceed.

Hutchinson City Council:
• RE: 2ud Ave. S.W. road construction from Dale St. to Lake St.
In speaking with the residents of the portion of 2 "d Ave S.W., the majority of the
residents feel the assessments are too high. Reconstruction assessments of $8,000 to
$10,730 directed most of the residents to option "D" as understood to be a 4 inch
surfacing removal and 4 inch bituminous paving. Even with just the repaving, the costs
of assessments are from $1925 to near $3000.
Some of the residents indicated they would be in favor of a total reconstruction if the
assessments were less. Some suggestions included:
1.
Fund more of the project through bonding and pass less on as assessments.
2.
Fund the sanitary sewer and water service replacement through their respective
funds, so there is no additional $2500 assessment.
3.
Fund a portion of the street with detour funds From the State Highway 7 closure.
Although it was discussed 2°d Avenue is not "identified" as the official detour
route, the neighborhood feels half of the 13,000 vehicles on Main Street will be
going by their house. The residents feel the urgency of this project is due to the
Highway 7 and Main Street bridge closure, yet the 2"4 Ave Project is not eligible
for detour {funds.
4.
Although it is appreciated the 10 year term of paying for the assessments, 1 %
percent above prime which comes to a 7% or 8% interest rate is not perceived as a
.
"good deal ".
5.
Some residents would like to do neither option C or D, and would like to wait
until the city has time to reevaluate its assessment policy. If that were an option,
and the city did adjust its assessment policy, the neighborhood may be in favor of
a complete reconstruction.
The neighborhood does not want the streets ol'Hutchinson to fall to pieces and would like
to see structurally good streets for its residents as well as its visitors.
We do appreciate the time the City has spent with us and its suggestions provided to us.
As the question was asked of John Rodeberg, "What would you do, if you lived on this
street", to which John replied, "1'd take the chance and go with the resurfacing ".
The neighborhood has taken the advice of City staff and the results of the survey are 17
for the resurfacing and 2 for the reconstruction. Some residents were not home when the
survey was distributed, but copies of the Survey and the Estimated Assessment, as
provided by the City, were left at those homes.
Attached is a copy of the survey as well as a petition.
Thank you.

RE: 2nd Avenue SW Second Neighborhood Meeting
DATE: March 1, 2005
City staff held a second neighborhood meeting on Monday, February 28`', to fii Cher discuss the proposed
2"d Avenue SW project. Over 50% of the property owners that were notified attended the meeting. A copy
of the meeting notice and agenda for this neighborhood meeting are included in your March 8a' City
Council packet.
City staff believed that a second neighborhood meeting was needed to address written comments and
concerns provided by representatives of the impacted neighborhood just prior to the Public Hearing for this
project during the February 8v' City Council meeting. The Public Hearing was opened and then postponed
until the March 8`' City Council meeting, We appreciate the feedback and input that the property owners
have provided in regards to this project.
The majority of the discussions at this second neighborhood meeting focused on project alternatives and
anticipated assessment amounts. City staff and the neighborhood residents agreed that there are primarily
two options for the future of this roadway, full street reconstruction as previously planned or the alternative
of resurfacing the existing pavement area. The life expectancy of a complete street reconstruction is
anticipated to be 40 to 60 years, compared to 10 to 20 years for a resurfacing project. Property owner
assessment amounts for each alternative were estimated and provided during this meeting.
Following our discussions at this neighborhood meeting, we asked that the interested residents provide
some direction either through a surveyor petition. City staff has prepared a survey form for distribution by
certain members of the neighborhood. Hopefully, this survey will be completed and provided prior to or at
the upcoming continuation of the Public Hearing.
We will be available to discuss the results of the neighborhood meeting and the upcoming property owner
survey during the Public Hearing.

0 2n1 Avenue SW Neighbors Opinion of proposed Project No. 05-09
Presented by Tim Smith representing 24 residents.
On Monday, February 7th, 2005, 24 residents of 2"d Ave SW gathered at the
Library meeting room to discuss the issues relating to Project 05-09. The
following summarizes their consensus.
We appreciate the information presented by Mr. John Rodeberg and staff at the
neighborhood meeting conducted on Monday January 31 et, 2005. Although it was
obvious to us that the street will soon need resurfaced we were not prepared for
the extent of the proposed project. We are especially surprised by the
substantial cost to be assessed each property owner. Therefore after this
meeting a few residents gathered to discuss issues and agreed to invite all
neighbors to a group discussion on February 7v'.at the library. Meanwhile
several residents were charged with fact finding regarding the issues and extent
of assessments.
Jointly we offer the following statements:
1. We propose that project 05 -09 be delayed until after the main street bridge
and highway 7 road project is complete. We feel that the extra traffic on
second avenue during these detours will be detrimental to a new road and
• cause undo wear and tear. We understand that this increased traffic will
hasten the need for resurfacing.
• Delay of the project gives us more time to ascertain the design and scope
of the project
• Delay of the project allows residents time to prepare for an assessment.
None of us is prepared to pay the 8 to 14 thousand dollar assessment.
2. We want more time and information to evaluate the true condition of the road
surface and underground utilities, pipes etc. We want to know more about the
option of 'mill and overlay or reconstruction.
3. We formally ask council and city administrators to review the assessment
policy as we feel the amounts expected are unreasonable.
• What did the residents on the eastern portion of Second Avenue pay? We
have heard that their amounts were significantly less. Was it because of a
federal grant'?
• Preliminary evaluation of other communities indicates varied assessment
policies for similar work. Hutchinson's policy appears to be very high. For
example, the City of Bloomington pays for seal coating and overlay
projects. Reconstruction projects are assessed at 25%. The City of
Glencoe only assess water and sewer services at $700 each ($1400) in
reconstruction projects. Silver lake's last assessment in 1997 was $15 per
front foot
(.®14)
E

0
4. The residents do not favor a sidewalk as proposed. Further we wish to
maintain the present width of the roadway. We notice that some new
developments such as those in the vicinity of Menards do not have sidewalks.
5. We request "no trucks" signage to reduce the increasing amounts of large
truck traffic.
6. We feel that there should be more advance notice of projects such as these in
order for the residents to meet with the City Staff to discuss needs and review
options of design, We especially wni d liko Iona team nntirA of antiripptwd
assessments.
7. We would also like to bring up a separate but related issue; sewer backup.
Last year a power failure caused the lift station on Harmony Lane to shut
down. This resulted in raw sewage flooding several homes. We ask that
consideration be given to measures that would prevent this type of event in
the future.

RE: 2nd Avenue SW Neighborhood Meeting
DATE: February 2, 2005
We held a neighborhood meeting on Monday, January 31`t, to discuss the proposed 2nd Avenue SW project
between Lake Street and Dale Street. Over half of the property owners that were notified attend the
meeting. There were many issues raised that we will be discussing at the Public Heating. These issues, and
our responses to date, are as follows:
Why is this project being completed at this time?
There has been increasing surface deterioration during recent years causing the Cityto invest a significant
amount of maintenance dollars and manpower into the roadway. This segment of roadway has been
identified by the pavement management program as being rated at a PCI (Pavement Condition Index) of 37
on a scale of 100. This rating falls within the marginal category and indicates that corrective measures
should be done at this time.
City staff is open to input from the residents at this point and willing to possibly entertain other street
improvement methods such as milling and overlaying the street. A mill and overlay project would be a
short-term fix (10 -15 years), The cost of doing the mill and overlay would be assessed to the property
owners on a 50 %:50% basis (approximately $15 - $20 per front foot). Ultimately, when the street is
reconstructed the property owners would incur assessments for both the mill/overlay and the future
reconstruction project. Reconstructing the roadway at this time would provide a long -term solution (40 -
60 years).
Why are the utilities being replaced at this time?
The condition, age and capacity of the existing utility infrastructure must be considered and addressed
when the street is reconstructed, Sanitary sewer, watermain and storm sewer systems are all over 40 years
old and have some deficiencies. Attempting to stretch the lifecycle of the existing utilities beyond the
expected life of a new roadway would not be prudent.
Why are you narrowing the roadway from 40' to 32' in width?
Narrowing of roadways has been proven to provide a traffic calming effect on the increasing traffic levels
and speeds, A street width of 32' is typical for a residential street. The assessments to adjacent property
owners for replacing the street would be lowered if the width of the proposed street is narrowed.
Why are you installing a sidewalk along the south side of the street?
If the roadway is narrowed as proposed, there would be an opportunity to extend sidewalk to the west along
the south side of 2"d Avenue without significantly disturbing the existing boulevard and landscaping.
rriaea m rccyck4 eeaw - / /I
y »
• Sidewalk in this area would provide pedestrian safety and could eventually be a section of a continuous
walkway all the way to School Road. Due to the existing grades and number of private utilities along the
north side of the street, switching the sidewalk location to the other side does not appear to be feasible.
Should parking be designated on one side of the street?
A 32' wide street would provide sufficient clearance for two vehicles to meet and another vehicle to be
parked along one side of the street. A number of residential streets do not have specific parking regulations
or striping that designates parking. If there is an abundance of on -street parking occurring, it may be
justified to establish one side of the street for parking. From a traffic flow standpoint, parking should be on
the north side of the street to match the lane arrangement along Tn Avenue to the east of this area.
Why are you increasing the thickness of the pavement section?
Currently, this length of street is utilized by school buses and some truck traffic. This traffic has
contributed to the decay of the existing pavement. There will be additional traffic demands on this street
during the TH 7 project. The City has proposed to slightly increase the pavement section thickness to
account for this additional traffic, at no additional assessment cost to the property owners. Also, the Police
Departement has been contacted and stricter regulating of the non -truck route status will be enforced.
How are assessments calculated? Do I pay for improvements that I don't need?
The assessments are based on the determined value of the benefit provided to the adjacent property, and
. therefore the assessments are not necessarily based on the actual cost for adjacent work. Per City policy,
property owners will be assessed for replacement of their sanitary sewer and water services and the cost to
construct a standard residential street with an appropriate stone water collection system. The costs
associated with the replacement of the lateral (main line) sanitary sewer and watermain systems, increasing
the street section thickness beyond the City's standard, and the installation of the sidewalk are paid for by
the City.
When will this construction happen?
Based on our current project schedule, construction is scheduled to start in late May or early June.
Depending on the Contractor's construction schedule and weather conditions, the project would be
completed in August or September.
We will discuss these, and other, comments in detail at the .Public Hearing.

Introduction
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 469.100 the Economic Development Authority must
submit a report to the City each year giving a detailed account of its activities as well as
its receipts and expenditures during the preceding calendar year. For the purpose of
fulfilling this requirement, this report has been prepared and will be submitted to the
Hutchinson City Council.
Activities are reported on a project -by- project basis, with additional notes provided on
the activities of each of the EDA sub - committees.
Economic Development Authority — Board of Directors
In 2004 the Board of Commissioners of the Economic Development Authority
experienced some turnover, with Mr. Bob Windel, school district superintendent, and Mr.
Keith Fischer of Wells Fargo Bank, resigning to pursue other opportunities.
After advertising the position openings and receiving a number of applications, the EDA
Board of Commissioners nominated Mr. Steve Jansick of Wells Fargo Bank and Mr.
Mike McGraw of State Farm Insurance to fill the vacant positions on the EDA Board.
Mayor Marlin Torgerson appointed the two nominees at the subsequent City Council
meeting
Prior to that, new City Council member Casey Stotts was appointed to the EDA Board as
the Council liaison in January of 2004.

Business Retention & Expansion
The Hutchinson Economic Development Authority believes that its first priority is to
maintain good relations with and promote the health of existing businesses within the
city, as these represent the best opportunity to grow the local economy. To that end,
EDA staff routinely visits local businesses to determine if they have any concerns or
1
issues that the EDA can assist with and to explore opportunities for the continued growth
of the company. in addition, the ELBA informs local businesses that the city recognizes
and appreciates their contributions to the community and that the EDA is available to
assist them in any way possible,
Business retention, & expansion visits were made to the following companies in 2004:
• Sbopko
• 3M
• Hutch Iron & Metal
Cenex
• Marshall Concrete Products
Impressions
• Hand's Inc.
• New Dimension Plating
• Haugen Furniture Company
• Wood-N-Walls
• Fastenal
In addition, EDA staff visited more than. 40 downtown businesses over the course of the
year.
Historic State Theater
Red and Linda McMonaglc completed
their purchase of the historic State
Theater in November of 2003 with
renovations beginning just days later.
Renovations continued throughout all
of 2004 and the project is scheduled
for completion by the 2"d quarter of
2005.
To begin with, extensive roof repairs
had to be made, replacing some roof
sections that leaked and others that had
actually begun to collapse. Once this
was done and the building made weather tight, a considerable amount of clean-up and
demolition work was done, with dozens of dumpster loads of materials being hauled
away., All seven of the original apartments on the upper level were completely gutted. In
the basement old theater seats and clutter were hauled out. In the three theaters
themselves many dumpster loads of moldy acoustic tiles and other mold-contaminated
materials were disposed of In addition, the projection screens themselves had to be
removed and thrown away.
The original theater seats were disassembled and the frames, were sandblasted and
repainted. The seat cushions themselves, were sent to California to be reupholstered.
Original art-deco wall murals in the main auditorium were traced by hand and repainted
on new acoustic tiles, recreating the original 1930's era artwork. In the course of
2
remodeling, it was discovered that the original neon was still present in the theater walls
and it was still in working condition!
After all the demolition and clean-up work was completed, four new apartments were
built on the second level of the building. These are all large one-bedroom units; three
feature vaulted ceilings, three have a walkout rooftop patio and two feature stunning
views of Library Square.
The entire building is handicap accessible, with an elevator being installed to provide
access to the upstairs apartments and the balcony theater.
In the course of the remodeling, several unexpected expenses cropped up and the price of
construction materials increased significantly. This caused the total project cost to grow
from the original $1.3 million to approximately $1.79 million. The Hutchinson
Economic Development Authority, working in concert with the other project funding
partners, was able to put together the additional funding needed to see the project through
to completion.
The historic State Theater should be open, for business by the 2"d quarter of 2005.
Hutchison Hotel
Another key redevelopment project in downtown Hutchinson is the renovation of the
historic Hutchinson Hotel. 'The Hutchison EDA was able to provide a low interest loan
and a small amount of grant money to facilitate the redevelopment of this historic
structure.
During 2004 a considerable amount of clean-up work was done, with many loads, of
demolition matenials being hauled away, and asbestos mid lead rernediation being
completed.
The main level of the Hotel will be renovated to become professional offices, with the
Hutchinson Area Chamber of Commerce: being the principal tenant. It is anticipated that
renovation will be complete by May of 2005.
Downtown Streetscape
Aging streetlights in the downtown
provided an opportunity to bring a
key element of the Downtown
Revitalization Master Plan to life.,
The existing streetlights and
sidewalks in the downtown were
originally installed in 1968 and by
3
A)
2004 they were well beyond their planned design life. Since these elements were
scheduled for replacement, the EDA saw an opportunity to implement the downtown
streetscape as envisioned in the downtown master plan.
The EDA provided funding for a feasibility study to examine the potential scope and cost
of such a project more closely.
Once the feasibility study was completed, EDA staff began the process of educating the
public on what the project would entail and collecting feedback for the benefit of the City
Council. Open houses were held during June and November, with an additional open
house scheduled for early January.
As of year-end, plans were in place to bring the project to the City Council in late January
for preliminary approval, If the city council approves the project, the downtown
streetscape could be implemented during the summer of 2005.
1=
in the second half of the year, the EDA was approached by a private developer who
wanted to explore the possibility of redeveloping three adjacent properties on Main
Street: the old Rix Corner gas station, a pawn shop and a vacant lot.
The plan would be to purchase all three lots, demolish the existing structures, and build a
single new 2-story building of about 14,000 square feet on each level. This structure
would house up to four retail businesses on the ground level and professional office suites,
on the second level.
The EDA provided considerable: technical assistance to help refine and develop the
concept and identify potential sources of financing. If the project continues to develop:,, a
major downtown redevelopment could take place during the summer of 2005.
Following a City Council decision in June
of 2004 to locate the new municipal liquor
store in downtown Hutchinson, EDA staff
was assigned to implement the project.
After considerable research, it was
decided to remodel and expand the
existing liquor store Located on
Washington Avenue. Plans were
developed to acquire an adjoining, retail
space (3,9,50 square feet) and expand the
4
„X
existing facility by constructing an addition of approximately 5,600 square feet.
. Combined with the existing store, the new facility will be just over 15,300 square feet in
size.
Plans call for the proposal to be brought to the City Council in early January for approval.
If the City Council gives the go- ahead, construction could begin by early summer of 2005
with an estimated completion date of November 1, 2005.
EDA Finance Team
The EDA Finance Team is responsible for the oversight of all financial activities of the
Authority. To that end they review and approve all loans and grants made by the EDA,
monitor the FDA's annual budget, and authorize all EDA expenditures. During 2004, the
Finance Team also reviewed and updated the guidelines for all of the EDA's loan and
grant programs. Table 2, below, lists the member of the Finance Team.

Downtown Loan & Grant Programs
The Hutchinson Economic Development supports downtown redevelopment in a number
of ways. Among them are three programs designed to promote investment in the
building stock of the downtown area.
In April of 2004, the FDA's Sign & Awning grant program and the Storefront
Revitalization Matching Grant program were re- instated after having been temporarily
suspended in September of 2003.
Sign and Awning Grant Program
The Sign and Awning Grant program, which had run out of funds, was recapitalized at a
level of $25,000. During 2004 a total of 5 grants were made for a total of $9,545 and an
average grant amount of $1,909. These are summarized in Table 3, on the following
page.

Commercial Rehabilitation Loan Program
The FDA's Downtown Revolving Loan program provides low interest loans to
downtown property owners to assist them with building maintenance and rehabilitation.
The purpose of the program is to help keep Hutchison's downtown building stock well
maintained and attractive as a place in which to do business.
In 2004 the EDA made five low interest loans totaling more than $466,000. Loan details
are provided in Table 5, below.

As of December 31, 2004 the l was servicing a total of 47 loans totaling
$835,789.23. The total of loan payments received each month was $10,820.84 and all
loans were performing as required.
Appendix A provides a status report on all downtown loans as of the end of 2004.
Economic Development Loan Fund
To provide additional gap financing for industrial development the Hutchinson Economic
Development Authority maintains the Economic Development Loan Fund.
No new loans were made from this fund during 2004. ,
One existing loan, to Allied Mechanical Systems, did however go into default with an
outstanding balance of just more than $30,000. As of year-end, the city attorney had
reached a settlement with one of the guarantors of the loan in the amount of $7,500 —
which will go back into the loan fund. Additional collection efforts were still underway
as of December 31't..
As of the end of 2004, the Economic Development Loan Fund had a total of $137,943 in
cash available for loans. In addition, the EIAA has $25,000 on deposit with the Minnesota
Community Capital Fund, which allows the ILIA to leverage up to 10 times that amount
for local economic development projects.
Economic Development Authority Budget
The two graphs following illustrate the sources and uses of ESA fands. The Hutchinson
EDA receives most of its funding in the form of an annual appropriation from the city's
general fund. Other sources of revenue include rents from EDA owned land, interest and
reimbursements.

As can be seen in the graph above, just more than three quarters of the EDA budget goes
towards staff salaries and benefits. Beyond that, the next two largest expenditure items
are for various consultants needed for EDA projects and for efforts to market the City in
an elYort to recruit new industry to the community.
Details of the expenditure categories are as follows:
Salaries = Staff, PERA, FICA, Health & Insurance benefits, etc.
Supplies = Office & operating supplies
Consulting = Appraisals, surveying, wetland delineations, 'II` plans, site plans, etc.
Operations = Telephone, postage, travel, printing, data processing, etc.

Over the last few years the Hutchinson EDA has acquired two parcels totaling 99.32
acres for industrial development. These are the 21.56 acre "Wetherell Property," located
on 5o' Avenue SE and the 77.76 acre " Stritesky Property" located between 50' Avenue SE
and old Highway 22 on the southeast side of town.
During 2004 the EDA completed a project at a cost of $222,918 to bring water and sewer
service out to the Wetherell Property. In addition, the property was zoned to I -1 (light
. industrial) and a preliminary plat was completed. Next steps will probably include some
site work and general clean-up of the property and the installation of a sign to advertise
the site's availability for industrial development.
Plans are also being formulated to put up a 10,000 square foot industrial spec building
that would be owned and leased out by the EDA.
Also during 2004 plans were prepared to build a road between Cenex and Hutch Iron &
-- Metal to access the Stritesky Property from 5's Avenue SE. After overcoming a protest-
from Hassan Valley Township, the annexation of the property to the city was completed
and it was rezoned to I -1, light industrial.
Future steps will be construction of the proposed access road from 5s' Avenue SE and
exploring opportunities to partner with 3M to build an access road from old Hwy 22, on
the south side of the property.
Lastly, the Industrial Park Team conducted extensive research and formulated a set of
"Industrial Park Declarations" to guide future development in the city's industrial park.
The key provision in these declarations is the elimination of metal buildings as an option
for future industrial projects. By requiring higher quality buildings, and providing
sufficient financial incentives to make these buildings affordable to businesses, the
Industrial Park team hopes to attract "higher -end" businesses to the industrial park and
provide a greater — and longer lasting — tax base expansion for the city.

Spec Building Project
In April of 2004, the EDA began developing a plan to build an industrial "sped' building
in the 5's Avenue industrial park. Initially the EDA explored the idea of partnering with a
private builder to implement the project, with the builder putting up the resources to
construct the building and the EDA providing the marketing component. As the plan
developed however, the complexities of a public / private partnership became more and
more apparent and the project was ultimately found to be not feasible.
From there, the EDA began developing plans to construct and own a 10,000 square foot
tip -up concrete industrial building on its own. Such a building would be used to attract
new industry to Hutchinson and potentially could be a source of revenue for the
Economic Development Authority. In addition, the project would kick -off development
of the 5`" Avenue industrial park and set the standard of future development of the area.
During the second half of 2004 EDA staff researched and developed a detailed business
plan for the project. A project team was established and the process of plan review began
in earnest. As of year -end, the spec building project team had completed its review of the
business plan it was being forwarded to the EDA Industrial Park team for their
consideration.
Plans then call for the plan to be reviewed and approved by the EDA Finance 'Team and
the full EDA Board before being presented to the City Council for final approval. If
• approved, plans are to secure financing and begin construction by late spring of 2005
with a goal of having the building completed by September lay.

Subject: Draft Airport Minimum Standards for Aeronautical Activity
I recommend adoption of the attached minimum standards.
There have been several requests for development at the airport. Development is beneficial to
both the airport and the community at large.
To better prepare for development and to avoid questions that have arisen in the recent past, the
Airport Commission and I have drafted and reviewed the attached Hutchinson Municipal Ai rt
— Minimum Standards for Aeronautical Activity.
To protect the significant investment the community has made in the airport, the document has
been drafted to clearly explain what is expected of private developers, The document is crafted to
provide opportunity, as well as level playing field for those seeking to develop at the airport. The
document also recognizes the unique relationship that exists between the airport and the Fixed
Based Operator, who uses City -owned facilities.
Mr. Jim Lauer, a resident of Lynn Township and member the Joint Planning Commission, was
Tight in describing the airport as a significant asset to the community. At the February 15
Planning Commission meeting, he explained the potential for development at the airport and
encouraged us to consider defining commercial and private operations at the airport. This
document does just that.
Airport Commission members have reviewed the document and commented to me. There have
only been a few questions brought to my attention regarding the document. These questions have
received satisfactory responses.
My thanks to Mr. Steven Wright, Airport Manager, City of Willmar for his help in drafting this
document.

Subject: Request to Place Temporary Office Trailer —Life Link III
Mobile Intensive Care Services
I recommend approval for City staff to draft and for the Mayor and City Administrator to sign a
lease document with Life Link III for placement of a temporary office structure on the airport for
a period of 18 months.
• At the February 15 Planning Commission meeting and at the February 22 City Council meeting, a
conditional use permit was approved for Life Link M, a mobile intensive care service, to place a
temporary structure at the airport to serve as their base for a period of 18 months, while
considering a permanent facility.
The temporary location of the office structure will be between the existing Civil Air Patrol
building and the Electrical Distribution building to facilitate temporary connections to utilities,
including electrical, telephone, water and sewer.
Airport Commission members have expressed their support for bringing this important service to
Hutchinson, as it will serve not only our community but our neighbors well. Having a staffed
office on the airfield 24 -hours a day, 7 days a week will also be a great help for security issues at
the airport.
Attached is information regarding the project and a draft of the lease we intend to negotiate with
Life Link III.
Mr. Andrew Kirchoff, RN, President and CEO of Life Link M will be willing to make a
presentation of the services his company provides, should the Council desire such a presentation.
Life Link III has worked closely with Hutchinson Area Health Care (HAHC) in the past. HAHC
staff has expressed their support to me for welcoming Life Link III to the community.

Dear Mr. Kirchoff:
City of Hutchinson

Hutchinson, MN 55350
Phone (320) 234 -4219 Fax (320) 234 -6971
First let me, on behalf of the Airport Commission, welcome you and your business to
Hutchinson. We are looking forward to your tenancy at Hutchinson Municipal Airport —Ken
Butler Field. I am sure this is just the kind of development Ken Butler had in mind when the
airport opened for business forty years ago.
At the February 22, 2005 City Council meeting, a conditional use permit (CUP) for placement o a
. temporary trailer at the airport for 18 months was approved. Pursuant to your request for
placement, airport staff has identified a number of issues that we would appreciate your
cooperation with. I intend to provide the lease document to the City Council at their March 8
meeting for approval. Issues we have identified include:
I) A lease document will be drafted to include the entire 18- months. The lease will be based upon an
assumed building footprint is 20'x60', or 1,200 square feet at $0.06 per square foot per year. The
charge for the lease will be $108 for the 18 -month term, payable upon execution of the lease. The
fee will not be prorated if the trailer is removed prior to the end of the term. (LIFE LINK 111 LEASE
DDCUMENT.dm ■ttuhed)
2) Any fees, charges, taxes, or other payments required either by the City on your behalf or by you,
for operation of the business at the airport or installation of this temporary trailer, are your
responsibility.
3) A damage deposit of $500 will be due upon execution of the lease. Upon satisfactory restoration
of the site, the $500 will be refunded.
4) You will be required to get a building permit from the City's Building Department (contact: City
Building Department at 320- 234A216). Contrary to our earlier discussions, at this point the City
Building Official has indicated the need for handicapped accessibility to the structure. He has
checked the status of the building against appropriate codes and has found the necessity for
providing handicapped accessibility. A letter from him is forthcoming.
5) An area around the building will need to be kept clear to allow for emergency access by Fire,
Ambulance, or Police services.
11
6) You must apply for a City sign perrnit if the size of a sign on your building exceeds 7 square feet
in size.
. 7) If you store fuel on the airfield, prior to the City providing appropriate fuel facilities, a separate
agreement with the City will be required, as indicated in the City's minimum standards document.
8) The temporary trailer should be placed at generally equal distance between the Civil Air Patrol
(CAP) building and the Electrical Distribution Building (EDB). If necessary, the trailer would be
able to be moved east, closer to EDB. The northerly edge of the building should be offset from the
road no less than the CAP building is.
9) The CUP requires connection to water and sewer services. Attached are as -built drawings of
available service. You may connect directly to the water and sewer services of the CAP building.
The charge for water and sewer services will be $311.60 for the 18 -month period. This fee is
based upon 3,000 gallons per month using current water rates of $2.0011,000 gallons; sewer rates
of $3.40/1,000 gallons; and $20.40 for water softening, payable upon execution of the lease. The
fee will not be prorated if the trailer is removed prior to the end of the term.
10) Temporary electrical service may be accessed through the EDB. An electrical sub meter must be
installed, preferably placed on the outside of the EDB. Airport staff will read this meter monthly,
and the City will bill you for services an a monthly basis based on your electrical consumption,
using rates paid by the City to McLeod Cooperative Power Association,
11) If the building will be using LP gas for heating, cooking, etc., the LP tank must be placed
generally south and east of the temporary trailer. It will be your responsibility to maintain access
to the tank. The City will not supply the tank or LP gas.
12) Telephone connections may be accessed through the EDB. You will need to contact Hutchinson
Telephone Company to supply the necessary hookups. You will be responsible for the connection
. to telephone service and billings.
13) You must provide garbage service for your premises by private contract
14) Because of the large equipment generally used for snow removal and mowing at the airport, snow
removal and mowing around the building site will be your responsibility. The City's intent is to
remove snow and mow up to a safe distance from the building, considering the equipment used.
Volunteers generally mow the area immediately around the temporary trailer site. They will be
instructed to maintain a safe distance from the trailer.
IS) Errtployees and visitors shall utilize the terminal parking area in common with other airport users.
16) Hutchinson Municipal Airport has an adopt -an- airport program. If you would like to volunteer
some services you are willing to provide, we will provide a sign in common with other volunteer
organizations at the entrance. Other signs, except that already described for placement on the
building, will need to be requested through the Airport Commission.

John Rodeber
Sohn & Marc-
I am forwarding, for your review and use, our analyses of the bids for the RO and
Biofilter equipment procurements. These analyses, prepared by .john Berrigan and our staff,
provide the basis for our recommendations of award.
In essence, our analyses indicate that the low bidders on each of the procurements failed
to meet required criteria in the bidding documents.
After review of the second low bidder for each procurement, and finding that each met all
required criteria in the bidding documents, we recommended for the second low bidder.

I am forwarding, for your review and use, our analyses of the bids for the RO and
Biofilter equipment procurements. These analyses, prepared by .john Berrigan and our staff,
provide the basis for our recommendations of award.
In essence, our analyses indicate that the low bidders on each of the procurements failed
to meet required criteria in the bidding documents.
After review of the second low bidder for each procurement, and finding that each met all
required criteria in the bidding documents, we recommended for the second low bidder.

Subject: Letting No. 11, Project 05 -13 Evaluation of Bids,
Biological Iron and Ammonia Filtration System
ET# 83356
MEMO
Two bids were received for the above referenced project. One from USFilter and one from
Infilco Degremont, Inc.
The USFilter bid was reviewed for cost, firm qualifications, project references, quality
control, technical presentation and conformance to the specifications. In terms of cost, the
base bid was low and compares well to the estimated cost presented in the Preliminary
Design Report, Earth Tech, October 2004:
• Bid equals $937,467 (includes 6.5% taxes on full amount).
Review of the USFilter bid in terms of qualifications, quality and references is summarized
as follows:
• USFilter listed no previous experience in supplying ammonia filtration systems.
• The bid documents included a provision for allowing experience for filtration
systems providing at least 80% removal of ammonia, at least 90% of the time, over
a two year period. The documents required the bidder to submit data demonstrating
this performance.
• USFilter named two filtration installations and provided raw, unevaluated data
and log sheets of chlorine consumption information. Some ammonia data were
provided without customary laboratory quality control and results validation
information. Because this data is unprocessed, the laboratory data not verified, and
the basic calculation of ammonia removal not presented, this submittal is
unresponsive. Because USFilter could not identify one ammonia filtration system
that they have provided and because the information provided is unresponsive in
that it does not provide a demonstration of 80% removal of ammonia 90% of the
time over a two year period, USFilter fails to meet the qualification requirements for
this project.
• USFilter offers an altemate to the filtration media specified.
• USFilter tankage, valve and control meet the technical requirements of the
specifications.
Because the bid was unresponsive to process experience requirements with no previous
Installations of ammonia filtration project and because USFilter could not provide a
performance demonstration through an analysis of existing facilities, as they claimed could
be done, the USFilter bid is not recommended for award of the contract.

The Infilco Degremont bid was reviewed for cost, qualifications, project references and
technical presentations. The lump sum bid price for IDI was $1,273,725 with the following
summary of clarifications to their bid proposal:
1. Their bid price includes $75,200 in sales tax.
2. Infilco Degremont is registered to collect Sales and Use tax in Minnesota.
3, Infilco Degremont requests that retainage shall not be held past August 1,
2007, which is approximately 17 months after the equipment delivery date.
4. Infilco Degremont requests that it not indemnify the Buyer and /or Engineer to
the extent of their own negligence or the negligence of those under their control.
5. Infilco Degremont requests that the warranty period extend to 12 months from
start -up or 18 months from delivery, which ever would occur first.
6. Infilco Degremont requests that the City continue to meet payment obligations
during all disputes and disagreements.
7. Infilco Degremont requests specific limitation of liability for the negligence of
. others and for third parties.
Further detail of these clarifications can be found in their bid proposal. The bid price is the
similar to the preliminary cost estimates from November 2004.
The Infilco Degremont bid demonstrates conformance to the bidding documents and an
understanding of the project scope. Their iron biological filtration system experience
includes more than 150 installations worldwide with six plants installed in North America.
Their ammonia biological system experience in drinking water applications currently
consists of 13 installations worldwide with one facility in operation in the United States.
Infilco Degremont demonstrates a thorough knowledge of biological treatment systems
based upon their submitted qualifications and installation base.
Infilco Degremont is recommended to be awarded Letting No, 11, Project No. 05 -13,
Biological Iron and Ammonia Filtration System — specifically without accepting the
clarifications and requests identified in the bid.

Subject: Letting No. 12, Project 05 -14; Evaluation of Bids Reverse Osmosis
System
ET# $3357
Two bids were received for the above referenced project. The two bidders were American
Engineering Services and GE Osmonics.
The American Engineering Services bid was reviewed for cost, firm qualifications, project
references, quality control, technical presentation and conformance to the specifications. In
terms of cost, the base bid was low and compares well to the estimated cost presented in
the Preliminary Design Report, Earth Tech, October 2004:
• Base bid equals $ $921,563 (includes 6.5% taxes on full amount).
Alternate 1, supply of a fourth skid, was bid at $237,153.
Alternate 2A, supply of Filmtec membranes, was bid at $361,943 ($528 each).
Review of the American Engineering Services bid in terms of qualifications, quality and
references is summarized as follows:
• The bid failed to provide local service, or at a minimum, service that would be
available on site within four hours. The importance of responsive local service was
emphasized at the pre -bid meeting on February 15, 2005 where the AES
representative indicated their understanding of the requirement. AES represents
that service would be provided through a Denver office. However, the Denver office
is listed by AES as a regional sales office. When surveyed, the La Junta, Colorado
and Beverly Hills, CA installations of AES equipment could not recall ever having
service personnel from anywhere other than Tampa. The bid AES was not
responsive to the service requirements.
• AES has a documented quality management plan and is ISO 9001 certified for
the design and manufacture of water purification systems.
• AES listed five project references to demonstrate satisfactory completion of
installation, startup and service for reverse osmosis systems of qualifying sizes. All
of the project references were contacted. The La Junta, Colorado, installation
reference indicated that eight months after installation, one of the three skids was
not yet operational. This reference indicated that the installation is significantly
under the rated capacity. This reference indicated that training services did not
meet expectations. Because the bid documents indicate specifically that

unsatisfactory completion of Work will not receive credit, this reference cannot be
used for project credit, It may be that the AES La Junta, CO, installation could be
represented as an installation demonstrating satisfactory completion of Work, but it
does not yet meet that definition. The bid documents allowed the bidders to
provide more than five references. AES did not provide additional references. As
submitted, the AES bid failed to provide the required five projects showing
satisfactory completion of RO system supply and service (the Work).
In terms of technical presentation, the AES bid shows compliance with the specifications
and basic understanding of the equipment supply requirements.
The AES bid is unresponsive to the service requirements for the project and fails to meet
the project experience qualifications since one of the facilities - La Junta, CO - could not yet
be considered "satisfactory completion of Work." Because the bid is unresponsive to the
service requirements and does not provide five references meeting the requirements of
articles 4.06 and 4.07 of the instructions to bidders, the AES bid is not recommended for
award of the contract.
The GE Osmonics bid was reviewed for cost, firm qualifications, project references, quality
control, technical presentation and conformance to the specifications. In terms of cost, the
base bid was competitive and compares well to the estimated cost presented in the
Preliminary Design Report, Earth Tech, October 2004:
• Base bid equals $1,054,350 (includes 6.5% taxes on full amount).
Alternate 1, supply of a fourth skid, was bid at $246,015.
Alternate 2A, supply of Filmtec membranes, was bid at $456,097 ($665 each).
Review of the GE Osmonics bid in terms of qualifications, quality and references is
summarized as follows:
• The bid demonstrates that GE Osmonics meets the experience and
qualifications requirements of the contract documents.
• GE Osmonics has a documented quality management plan and is ISO 9001
certified for the design and manufacture of water purification systems.
• Each of the five project references was contacted and all five responded with
positive comments concerning the equipment and service. Many additional
references were included.
In terms of technical presentation, the GE Osmonics bid shows compliance with the
specifications and a significant understanding of the overall water treatment goals as
summarized below:
A
• No exceptions to the specifications were presented.
• Cartridge pre - filter and skid instrumentation was identified.

• Skid feed pumps were generally described per specification, covering a choice
of Flowserv, Cornel or Grundfos, which are all suitable selections and will be
selected during the submittal process.
RO performance projections were included — this additional work in the bid submittal
demonstrated a thorough project understanding.
The GE Osmonics bid is recommended to be awarded for Letting No. 12, Project No. 05-
14, Reverse Osmosis System. This award should reflect a value up to the total of the base
bid and Alternate 2a. We do not recommend award of Alternate 1.

I am forwarding, for your review, consideration and use, a pdf copy of the fax sent to
John Berrigan of our office.
The fax does 4 things, as I view it, including:
1. Requests to modify their hid by providing a different service provider so they can meet
the 4 hour service response requirement in the procurement bid documents.
2. Attempts to explain why one of their references was not happy with the work provided by
American Engineering Services.
3. Requests to modify their bid by asking that other references be considered so they can
meet the minimum requirement of five references that found their work satisfactory.
04. Requests that the engineer recommend the award of the procurement contract to AES as
the lowest responsible bidder.
We are still awaiting documentation from AES regarding an alternate service provider. When
we receive it, we will forward it as soon as possible.
I would only make 1 clarification to AES' fax. Earth Tech did not say that the City of La
Junta would never recommend AES for another project. The City of La Junta merely said that
they were unhappy with the work of AES, explaining that one of their 3 skids was not
functioning properly B months after start -up.
I don't believe it is prudent to allow AES to modify their bid. I look forward to your
comments.

SUBJECT: CITY OF HUTCHINSON RO FACILITY

EXTERNAL:
INTERNAL: DOCUMENTATION CONTROL
Mr, Be.rrigan,
1 am confirming the items we discussed in our phone conversation this morning regarding our
bid submittal for the City of Hutchinson RO'Plant. You have stated your concerns regarding
the time it will take for getting to the site for service calls. You also Informed me our reference
plant in La Junta CO would not recommend us for future work. We are addressing both of
these concerns in this fax as well as two others.
By bidding your project and putting up a performance bond, AES agrees to 'provide service and
products as required by the bid specifications and the contract. Having a service engineer
available to be on site In 4 hours is one of those requirements. Therefore AES has agreed to
meet that requirement. Since you don't feel we can meet that requirement, I am preparing a
written statement from a qualified engineer in your area who will be subcontracted by AES for
emergency site visits.
The second issue is our reference. After we spoke I called our client, Steve Roberts at the La
Junta plant. He stated he explained to you the problems he has had with the plant and other
items he was not pleased with. He also emphatically stated that at no time did he say to you
that he would not recommend AES for future work or for other projects.
I have to stress that AES was a sub - contractor to a general contractor for the City of La Junta's
project, We had a limited scope of work; feed pumps, trains, membranes, piping, valves and
instrumentation on the skids. We were not responsible for any pre - treatment processes, the
PLC or MCC, nor did we provide Installation of our system (which were built on site and not
shop assembled). We provided operator training and O & M manuals that were

approved /accepted by the engineer and all trains were successfully commissioned and
approved /accepted by the engineer.
The City of La Junta has had problems operating their plant. These problems were not
anticipated by the engineer, contractor or owner and AES could not address them. If the La
Junta chief operator felt their training was not sufficient, the issue was never voiced to us, ever,
until this morning, and we speak with them nearly every week. Since we now know they didn't
think their training was sufficient we have set for their project manager to return to site for a
refresher course at our expense.
AES has done everything possible to fix and assist La Junta with mechanical issues with flow
meters and sensors mounted on the trains and supplied by AES. .Unfortunately those Items
were installed by a general contractor wired them improperly and blew the boards out. The
entire process of replacing and trouble - shooting the items have been very time consuming and
we agree the owners of the plant have reason to be frustrated and upset with all parties;
Including their engineer, contractor and individual equipment suppliers.
AES did not write up the contract documents for La Junta, nor were we the construction
manager or even the general contractor. We were a sub contractor providing a specific area of
work for a sp•eclfic time frame. We completed that work. We have since tried to do our best to
. assist everyone In order to keep the equipment running properly even though there were
problems that occurred outside our scope of work.
The project that we bid with Earth Tech for the City of Hutchinson is not structured the way La
Junta structured their contract and scopes of supply. AES has compiste control over all the
areas of the process that affect the RO process. We will be responsible for testing, starting up
and maintaining.the system directly with the owners of the plant.
All references I attached with our bid, with the exception of La Junta, were direct contracts with
the owners for equipment •and services. AES was in control of when and how work was
performed and what steps needed to be taken in order to keep the equipment In good running
order. I' have attached names and numbers for additional plants above 2 mgd In which AES
was the direct contractor. I urge you and representatives from Hutchinson to call these
references as well. Also please contact the design engineer at La Junta, Mark Beebe, or Maltz
construction for further Information on our work.
In addition I will be faxing you a signed letter from Steve Roberts and AES stating the issues
that occurred with their plant and explaining the parties Involved.
AES has not stayed in business for as long as we have by leaving our customers unhappy or
with equipment that does not function. The RO system as you know is complex and contains

sophisticated equipment from manufacturers all over the country. As in La Junta, when there
Is a problem with one piece of Intricate and expensive equipment, a lot of time and effort from
many entities goes into trying to solve that problem.
AES maintains that the City of Hutchinson RO Facility Is a public bid. AES has participated
fairly and has met all technical requirement of the design without exception. We therefore ask
that a recommendation be made by the engineer for final award of this contract to AES as the
lowest and most responsive bidder.. You will receive the additional documentation I have
described later today or Monday.
Should you require additional feedback on the reputation and work of AES from within your
organization please speak with Dennis Saari and Steve Quell out of your Wisconsin office.

Dear Mr. Rodeberg:
Pursuant to the Official Notice to Bidders, sealed bids for the above referenced Project were
received at the Office of the Director of Public Works at 2:00 pm and publicly opened and read
aloud. We have reviewed all the Bids received for the Work and have enclosed a complete Bid
Tabulation for your information.
We take this opportunity to submit our written recommendations concerning the award of
contracts. Four sealed bids were received. The low bid was submitted by L.T.P. Enterprises,
Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota, in the amount of $ 114,405.00, The second low bid was submitted
by Mark J_ Traut Wells, Inc. of Waite Park, Minnesota in the amount of $ 138,705.00. Other bids
ranged as high as $ 157,770.00. Two bidders did not acknowledge Addendum No. 2 on the bid
forms, including the low bidder. We recommend that the City waive this irregularity and accept all
bids as responsive. Addendum No. 2 simply clarified the Affirmative Action Data Page and
allowed for the use of a smaller diameter outer casing. Costs are not impacted.
It is our opinion that the low Bidder, L.T.P_ Enterprises, Inc., submitted a responsive bid and is
qualified and capable of performing the Work as specified. It is therefore recommended that a
contract be awarded to L.T.P. Enterprises, Inc. in the amount of $ 114,405.00.
The Engineer's opinion of probable cost of construction was $ 200,000. The low bid is 42.8%
below this cost.
We respectfully present these recommendations for review and consideration.

Subject: Letter of Recommendation
Letting No. 14, Project No. 05 -18
Construction of 1.5 MG Water Storage Reservoir
Dear Mr. Rodeberg:
Pursuant to the Official Notice to Bidders, sealed bids for the above referenced Project were
received at the Office of the Director of Public Works at 10:00 am and publicly opened and read
aloud, We have reviewed all the Bids received for the Work and have enclosed a complete Bid
Tabulation for your information.
We take this opportunity to submit our written recommendations concerning the award of
contracts. Two sealed bids were received. The low bid was submitted by Natgun Corporation of
Wakefield. Massachusetts, in the amount of $ 1,427,700.00, The second low bid was submitted
. by Preload, Inc_ of Hauppauge, New York in the amount of $ 1,512,970,00.
It is our opinion that the low Bidder, Natgun Corporation, submitted a responsive bid and is
qualified and capable of performing the Work as specked. It is therefore recommended that a
contract be awarded to Natgun Corporation in the amount of $ $ 1,427,700,00.
The Engineer's opinion of probable cost of construction was $ 1,000,000. The low bid is 42.8%
above this cost. Since we prepared our estimate, unsuitable materials to depths of 8' to 12'
below the foundation were discovered, requiring the removal of substantial quantities of soils and
replacing it with structural fill. Foundation re- design was reviewed, as was relocation of the
reservoir, but neither option is cost - effective. The project completion schedule also caused a
premium in pricing, which may be addressed after the project is awarded.
We respectfully present these recommendations for review and consideration.
Sincerely,
colt L. Y rig;

ENGINEERING SERVICES PROPOSAL
WTP IMPROVEMENTS -Phase 3 Design Services
Hutchinson, Minnesota
February 25, 2005
Project Background
Earth Tech completed a "WTP Design Study ", dated April 2004, for the City of
Hutchinson recommending a membrane treatment facility utilizing reverse osmosis and
biological filtration to meet the City's desired water quality goals, including source water
iron and ammonia reduction and copper corrosion control. On April 27, 2004, the
Hutchinson City Council adopted the recommendations and supporting reports, and
authorized City staff to enter into an engineering services agreement with Earth Tech to
implement the project.
Earth Tech completed the "Water System Improvements Preliminary Design Report,
dated October 2004, which provides design documentation for the improvements and
was the basis for the "Value Engineering" review conducted by the City of Hutchinson.
Value Engineering was conducted on Tuesday, October 26, 2004, the findings of which
are documented in Meeting Minutes received November 14, 2004. City staff developed
action items from the value engineering review and a memo, dated December 14, 2004,
documents those items. The value engineering action items, together with the
preliminary design report, equipment procurement and the well & reservoir design,

RE; Consideration of Engineering Services Agreement with Donohue & Associates to
Complete Sewer Service Charge System Update
DATE: March 3, 2005
• As noted at the last City Council meeting, our sanitary sewer system rate study was last fully
reviewed in the late 1980's. We have completed a couple of updates, but due to changes in
technologies, industries and regulated materials, as well as having a clear background of treatment
capabilities at the facility, it is now important that the rate study be completely reviewed and
updated. The issue of the appropriate rates was raised by HTI, and we have moved forward in
addressing the immediate issues, but we now need to complete a review of the total system.
Donohue & Associates personnel completed the rate study in the late 19807s, and have the best
background, experience and familiarity with Hutchinson's systems to complete the work. This work
is budgeted in 2005.
We recommend approving the Engineering Services Agreement with Donohue & Associates in
the amount of $19,100.
