This request is for $1.5 million in state bond funding to assist in the design and construct a system of ground water wells and pipelines. The system would provide an alternative water source for Minneapolis and our suburban customers. Currently, the Mississippi River is the only source of water for about a half million people in the region. While the River has been a reliable source for over 100 years, we believe it is prudent to construct an alternative source to allow us to overcome potential future natural or man-made disasters that could affect the River or the treatment plants. Many residents fully rely on Minneapolis water, including the whole city of Minneapolis and customer cities of Golden Valley, New Hope, Crystal, Columbia Heights, and Hilltop. The population in these cities is over 465,000. MSP Airport (with an average of over 90,000 passengers per day) and Fort Snelling also fully rely on Minneapolis water. Further, several sectors of economic activity rely on water to be successful daily. Data from the 2007 Economic Census reveal that about $77,000,000 of business is conducted each day in sectors such as Retail trade, Accommodations, Food Services, Health Care and Social Assistance, Arts, Entertainment, and Manufacturing. The proposed project would fortify the region's economy and personal welfare by improving the reliability of continuous water supply even if there is a problem in the Mississippi River. The system would be operated on a very limited basis to make sure it remains operational when needed. The limited use would maintain the goal of Metropolitan Council to use surface water wherever possible to preserve Ground Water resources in our region. 8) Square Footage: NA III. Project Financing The following table describing the total amount of financial resources needed and the proposed uses of funds must be submitted for each project. Enter amounts in thousands ($100,000 should be entered as $100). Enter the amount of state funding requested on the line State GO Bonds Requested. Uses of Funds must show how all funding sources will be used, not just the state funding requested. Sources of Funds total must equal Uses of Funds total. In most cases, the state share should not exceed 50% of the total project cost.

10) Project schedule. Identify the date (month/year) when construction crews are expected to first arrive on site, and the date (month/year) when construction will be completed with a certificate of occupancy. Anticipated Start Date: 2014 Anticipated Occupancy date: Step-wise through 2024 Each year, added capacity will become useful to the supporting of the water supply as wells and pipeline segments are completed. The project will be conducted incrementally until the needed water capacity is achieved, currently predicted to be completed over 10 years, beginning in 2014. Each well may have more or less capacity than predicted, so the final number of wells, and the number of years to complete the whole system will be adjusted based on capacity gained in each well. Tentative work in first year: Develop standard design details for common items in the overall project, like structures to hold meters, valves and control systems. Computer modeling and test drilling. Begin well drilling on east side of river, near Fridley campus. Design the piping system near the treatment plant to maximize redundancy. Tentative work in following years: Drill more wells on east side of river. Drill test well in Tunnel City-Wonewoc formation on west side of river. Construct piping from wells on east side of river to treatment plant.

(For facilities projects, this information will also be used to calculate an inflation cost, using the Building Projects Inflation Schedule posted on the Minnesota Management and Budget website. 11) Predesign. For projects with a total construction cost of $1.5 million or more: Has a project predesign been completed? Yes X No

If so, has the predesign been submitted to the Commissioner of Administration? Yes No

12) State operating subsidies. Identify any new or additional state operating dollars that will be requested for this project. NA

13) Sustainable building guidelines. Discuss how the project meets or exceeds the Minnesota Sustainable Building Guidelines established under Minnesota Statutes, section 16B.325, which may be found at http://www.msbg.umn.edu/. These are now mandatory for all new buildings or major renovations receiving state bond funding. The project will not include building structures except as needed for equipment protection. 14) Sustainable building designs. Explain the extent to which the project will use sustainable building designs, if applicable. The project will not include building structures except as needed for equipment protection. Related design standards within the Minnesota Sustainable Building Guidelines will be followed to maximize energy efficiency and minimize impact to the environment around each well site. 15) Resolution of support and priority designation. Has the governing body of the applicant passed a resolution of support (which indicates the projects priority number if the applicant is submitting multiple requests)? X Yes No If so, please attach the signed resolution. If not, please indicate when the resolution will be coming (and forward the resolution to MMB when available): _______________, 2013
