Re: Letter Proposal for Anderson-Erickson Study of Existing Site Only
City of Scandia, MN
Stantec Project No.: 568-11000-0
Dear Ms. Hurlburt:
Thank you for the opportuniry to provide a proposal to complete a study on the Anderson/Erickson
Wastewater System in the City of Scandia for the existing drainfield site. Our team of licensed Engineers and
Specialists has the experience and qualifications to complete a study for the Anderson/Erickson Wastewater
System's existing drainfield sfte that will provide written recommendations to the City Council of what
improvements can be made to the existing drainfield site to increase capacity.
The Anderson/Erickson Wastewater is an important system that provides wastewater collection and treatment
for the homes along the east side of Big Marine Lake and Norell Avenue.
Our proposed scope of work to complete a study of the existing drainfield site will be organized into three
project tasks. We have organized our tasks into the following phases: review of existing collection and
treatment system, recommendations for drainfield expansion, and provide financial cost of recommended
improvements.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
TASK 1 -COLLECTION AND TREATMENT SYSTEM REVIEW
• A site visit will be conducted with the City and Washington County to physically walk the drainfield
site, complete hand-auger soil borings in the residual treatment area,and verify the treatment system
site conditions.
• A review of the current operations, maintenance practices,and records managemerns will be
conducted.
• Upon the system review we will provide comment on operational procedures and relatively simple
system repairs/upgrades that would improve the system performance and extend the drainfield's life.
. Also upon review of the system and soil conditions in the residual treatment area,we will make
recommendations for soil treatment system expansion or pretreatment options that would allow
additional connections to the system over the defined service area.
TASK 2- DRAINFILED EXPANSION RECOMMENDATIONS
• We will provide recommendations on expanding the existing drainfield and/or adding pretreatment to
serve all properties in the desired area to be defined by the City.

TASK 3-PREPARE FINANCIAL COSTS OF IMPROVEMENTS
• We will provide financial costs for system maintenance,system repair,and system expansion on the
existing drainfield site.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
If authorized by the City,we could begin the project in January of 2012 and complete it within 60 days. If
seasonal limitations such as frozen ground,very deep snow or excessively cold weather interfere with
accurate field work, it may be necessary to delay certain tasks until spring.
PROJECT DELIVERABLES
• 10 printed copies of the final master document of the Anderson/Erickson drainfield.
• An electronic(PDF) copy of the final master document.
COST PROPOSAL
TASK 1 -Collection and Treatment System Review $2,500
TASK 2- Drainfield Expansion Recommendations $400
TASK 3- Prepare Financial Costs of Site Im�rovements $1,100
Project 7ota1 $4,000
Our proposal is to complete the work on an hourly basis, not,to-exceed the total project cost listed above.
