<br />Request for Action <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To Item Number <br />Mayor and City Council 8.3 <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />General Business October 18, 2021 Zack Carlton, Planning Manager <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />Business Center Drive Extension Cal Portner, City Administrator <br />Reviewed by <br /> <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />Approve, by motion, Hakanson Anderson’s proposal to complete the engineering, surveying, and design services <br />associated with the extension of Business Center Drive. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />Staff has been speaking with property owners impacted by the potential expansion of Business Center Drive from <br />the Beehive Homes facility to Waco Drive and based on those conversations staff believes we are ready to move <br />forward with engineering and design services to fully identify project impacts and design. <br /> <br />The city will fund the roadway and utility extensions using tax abatement captured from the Broadway on 10 <br />apartment project. That project is expected to break ground later this year and staff will bring the abatement action <br />forward once permits for the project have been issued. Beginning engineering and design services prior to the <br />abatement project is necessary to ensure the wetland delineation can be approved yet this year, setting the stage for <br />roadway construction next summer. Costs incurred prior to establishment of the abatement district can be repaid <br />once established. <br /> <br />Staff solicited bids for preparation of the required surveying, engineering, and design services. After reviewing the <br />proposals, staff recommends Hakanson Anderson. The initial design services are approximately $38,000 and the <br />construction services are estimated at $39,000. Engineering and surveying will begin immediately. Construction is <br />optimistically planned for summer 2022. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />A combination of city funds will pay for the engineering services ahead of the planned abatement district over the <br />Broadway on 10 apartment site. <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br /> Facilitates growth and development of the city. <br /> Improves public safety and mobility. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Hakanson Anderson Proposal <br /> <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br /> <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity. <br /> Updated: August 2020 <br />
