ATOR <br />rf'! <br />MARCH 2, 1994 :r/ <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: HIGHWAY 101/169/10 MNDOT <br />COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT <br /> <br />Attached for your information is a cover letter from City Engineer Terry <br />Maurer regarding the MnDOT Cooperative Agreement, a resolution <br />approving this agreement, and the actual MnDOT/City agreement. Also <br />attached are some maps showing the drainage improvements that are being <br />discussed in the agreement. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Terry Maurer is out of town on vacation and I have asked one of his <br />employees, Dave Nyberg, to attend this meeting to review the proposal with <br />the City Council. Dave has been working with MnDOT on behalf of the City <br />in the development of the drainage improvements plans. <br /> <br />The improvements call for the construction of a new 72 inch culvert through <br />the intersection and into a drainage pond. Improvements also call for the <br />reconstruction of an existing drainage pipe. This reconstruction is for a 60 <br />inch pipe on the west side of the project that would flow into an existing <br />drainage pipe and into the drainage pond. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />When this agreement was first received last week, I had some concerns over <br />the cost associated with the 60 inch pipe and whether or not the City was <br />paying a disproportionately large share for this pipe. Initially, the City <br />understood that MnDOT needed to upgrade this pipe anyway and this was <br />part of the initial discussions. However, the final design for the 72 inch pipe <br />on the other side of the intersection did not flow into the existing 60 inch <br />culvert pipe, but was a completely separate drainage pipe into the pond. <br />Based on this design, MnDOT had no need to upgrade anything on the west <br />side of the intersection. With this being the case, most of the cost to upgrade <br />this existing 48 inch and 36 inch pipe to the 60 inch pipe on the west side <br />becomes a City responsibility. This 60 inch pipe is to drain all of the area <br />that flows from the Main and Evans intersection that is scheduled to be <br />improved in 1994. <br /> <br />P.O.
