MEMORANDUM
TO: Utility Advisory Board
FROM: Bradley Vick, Water/Wastewater Superintendent
DATE: August 2, 2026
TITLE: RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL AWARD FOR SEWER
COLLECTION MANHOLE REHABILITATION
_____________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommend approval of a resolution recommending that the City Council authorize the contract
of sewer collection rehabilitation work from Total Excavating & Grading in the amount of $63,791
and authorize the City Administrator to execute all documents necessary to complete the project
work of sewer collection manhole rehabilitation for the manhole MH1101, the location of this
manhole is on a washed out riverbank that is located south of the Winter Street Substation and
Junction Falls Hydroelectric Dam on South Winter Street and runs underneath the Kinnickinnic
River that leads to the Wastewater Treatment Facility located on South Apollo Road .
BACKGROUND
The River Falls Municipal Water/Wastewater Utility department initiated a competitive solicitation
for the rehabilitation of Manhole MH1101 by
contacting multiple qualified contractors
capable of performing this specialized work.
Despite these efforts, only one contractor,
Total Excavating & Grading submitted a
proposal within the requested timeframe. No
additional bids or proposals were received.
The Water/Wastewater department evaluated
and determined the limited response was due
to contractors availability and the specialized
nature of the rehabilitation work, rather than a
lack of competitive outreach. The department made reasonable efforts to obtain multiple quotes
but was unable to secure additional responses. The rehabilitation of sanitary manhole MH1101 is
necessary to maintain the integrity of the wastewater collection system, reduce infiltration and
inflow, and ensure reliable system operation. Because the repairs are time-sensitive and delaying
the work could increase the risk of further deterioration and higher repair costs, staff recommends
proceeding with the sole responsive contractor.

DISCUSSION
Contractor availability has continued to be a challenge, particularly for specialized wastewater
structure rehabilitation work. Staff made multiple attempts to solicit proposals from qualified
contractors but received only one responsive proposal. Given th e limited number of contractors
that perform this type of specialized work, the lack of additional responses appears to be the result
of contractor availability rather than a lack of competitive solicitation.
The proposed work includes the rehabilitation of Sanitary Manhole MH1101, including all labor,
materials, equipment, and associated work necessary to restore both structures, improve their
long-term performance, and extend their service lives in accordance with the project
specifications. Total Excavating & Grading will mobilize to the site and install a floating silt curtain
to protect the waterway during construction. Their work includes removing the existing sanitary
manhole cone and two upper sections, then installing a new 48-inch sanitary manhole equipped
with a 4' x 4' steel weir wall while maintaining the existing bottom section in place. The contractor
will also core and reconnect the existing 12-inch DIP watermain. Sewer bypass operations will be
required for a minimum of one week and will be provided by others.
Due to the deteriorated condition of these manholes and the need to prevent further structural
degradation, infiltration, and potential impacts to the wastewater collection system, delaying the
project to re-advertise for additional bids is not recommended. Staff recommends proceeding with
the sole responsive contractor as the most practical and cost-effective approach to complete the
repairs in a timely manner and maintain the reliability of the City's wastewater infrastructure.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The total project cost is $63,791. Funding is available within the approved Fiscal Year 2026
Wastewater Utility Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for sewer collection manhole
rehabilitation, the total amount available is $100,000. Given the specialized nature of the work
that needs to be completed in the sewer collection manhole rehabilitation, this project is needed
to be completed in a timely manner and the project is consistent with the City’s planned
infrastructure maintenance and replacement program.
Completing this project at this time is expected to reduce future maintenance and repair costs
associated with aging infrastructure while minimizing the potential for emergency sewer collection
manhole repairs.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the Utility Advisory Board approve a resolution recommending that the
City Council authorize the approval of the sewer collection manhole rehabilitation contract award
to Total Excavating & Grading with the rehabilitation of Sanitary Manhole (MH1101) in the amount

PRV was repaired, pressure gauges and bleeder valves were installed, and testing confirmed the system is
operating properly.
Spring Creek Lift Station:
Replaced a failed transducer with a temporary unit. A permanent replacement has been ordered.

Projects & Inspections
BCR Dryer Discussion:
Met with Ryan Yentz from Strand Associates Inc. on July 2 and July 21 regarding the BCR dryer and continued work
with BCR to optimize dryer performance.
Schwing Press Update:
We are trying to get BCR optimal sludge that they need to run the dryer. Wastewater Operator Bill switched
polymer totes to use up old polymer from testing in the beginning stages of this process. He found that the BCR
dryer had better performance when it is ramped up to a throughput of over 700 lbs. Questioning if this is a polymer
performance problem the whole time? BCR is still on site and working on optimizing the dryer performance.

Water Property Management claiming that all the apartments had no water.
David pulled the meter from the basement of the Ground Zero building and confirmed municipal water was
available and identified a private electric shutoff valve as the likely cause. Was unable to get a hold of the property
management or a maintenance worker. Residents claimed they had been out of water since the morning and have
not been able to get a hold of management. The property owner addressed and resolved the issue the following
day. This is an example of how well our team handles all situations that occur.
