Memorandum
DATE: October 1, 2021
TO: Joint Water Commission
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Crystal Director of Public Works
Pat Sele, Crystal Utilities Superintendent
SUBJECT: Crystal Pump House effluent meter replacement
In 2022 the valves outside the Crystal Pump house will be replaced. As part of the scope of this work the
contractor will need to replace pipe that is directly connected to the flow meters. Since the additional scope of
work to replace the flow meters is minimal compared to replacing the flow meters in the near future, it is
proposed that the flow meters be replaced as part of the valve project at the pump house.
Replacement of the flow meters is part of the programmed maintenance at the pump house. Due to the
successful history with the current Rosemount Mag Meter in the Crystal pump house it is proposed to use the
same manufacturer for the replacement meter. Total Control Systems is the only authorized vendor of the
Rosemount Mag Meter in Minnesota so only Total Control Systems provided a quote.
Quote
• Total Control Systems $38,543
Project funding
This project will be funded using the capital project fund for flow meter replacements.
Attachment
• Total Control Systems quote
Recommended action
Motion approving the purchase of effluent meter replacement.

Underpass Project WM Relocation.docx
Joint Water Commission TAC Memo
October 6, 2021
Agenda Item #4
Adopt Resolution 21-05 for Joint Water Commission 2022-2031 CIP Amendment to Add Douglas
Drive and Highway 55 Pedestrian Underpass Project
Prepared by
Joint Water Commission Technical Advisory Committee
Summary
In 2020, the City of Golden Valley submitted for State funding through the State Capital
Investment Committee for funding of a pedestrian underpass project at Douglas Drive and
Trunk Highway 55. The submission was successful and the bill was signed by the Governor in
October of 2020. Working through the funding details, it was determined that the bill needed
to be amended to include the proper language, however, once the amendment was approved
in the summer of 2021, eligible expenses still did not cover utility relocation, such as watermain
or sanitary sewer.
The Joint Water Commission owns a 16-inch Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe that runs
parallel to Trunk Highway 55 across Douglas Drive. This pipe will need to be lowered as part of
the underpass project to create vertical separation between the JWC pipe and the new
pedestrian underpass. As mentioned above, it was recently discovered that the cost to relocate
the JWC pipe is not eligible for state funding. Therefore, the TAC is recommending an
amendment to the 2022 – 2031 JWC CIP to include $290,000 for JWC pipe relocation as part of
the Douglas Drive and Trunk Highway 55 Pedestrian Underpass project. The funding would be
included in the year 2023, which is when construction will take place.
Recommended Actions
Motion to adopt Resolution #21-05 for Joint Water Commission 2022-2031 CIP amendment to
add Douglas Drive and Highway 55 Pedestrian Underpass Project.

D. Golden Valley Meter Pit Issues either install electronic actuators or install pressure
reducing/anti-cavitation valves (possible long-term fix). Got pricing for installing
electronic actuators, will get all costs for approval at future JWC meeting.
• Received quote from vendor who visited the site, should be able to
