Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: WESTERN AREA PHASE 2 IMPROVEMENTS <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />. <br />As discussed at last week's public hearing for the Western Area Phase 2 Improvements, the <br />schedule calls for the approval of the plans and specifications and the authorization for the <br />advertisement for bids at this week's meeting. Attached is a resolution for your consideration <br />which accomplishes this. We would anticipate bids to be received in late August with the <br />Council considering award at that time, and the earliest work would start would be in <br />September. <br /> <br />The plans and specifications will be prepared such that the Contractor is to accomplish the <br />extension of utilities to the County facility in 1994, but not disrupt the remainder of Sandpiper <br />Estates until 1995. There will be other areas that, given appropriate weather conditions, the <br />Contractor can work this year if he so desires. However, the bulk of the project would likely <br />be completed in the 1995 construction season. Even though the project will be bid now, there <br />will likely be some issues that will need further clarification and may require some revision, <br />such as the alignment of Joplin and Orono Road near TH 10, the type of roadway section and <br />storm drainage improvements in Sandpiper Estates, and the future corridor for utilities to cross <br />the County property. These are all items which can be worked out during the bidding and <br />initial construction phases, and modifications can be made at a later date to accomplish the <br />desires of the City. Therefore, we believe we can proceed at this point with the main objective <br />of trying to get the utilities to serve the County Administration Building this year. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this information, I will be available at your August 1, <br />1994, City Council meeting. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br />Terry J.
