ITEM 4.9. <br />1SULTINGEN6lNEERS 7une22, 1995 - <br /> File: 230-277-20 <br />1326 Energy Park Drive <br />St. Paul, MN 551 OB <br />612-644-4389 Mr. Pat Klaers <br />1-800-688-2923 City Administrator <br />Fax: 612-644-9446 City of Elk River <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> P.O. Box 490 <br /> F1k River, MN 55330 <br />RE: TRUNK HIGHWAY 10/70PLIN STREET INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS <br />Dear Mr. Klaers: <br />As you recall from our spring tour with MnDOT, they indicated that they would have <br />funding available in fiscal year 1996 (starting July 1, 1995) for the improvement of the <br />awL ENC~NEERING intersection of TH 10 and Joplin Street. This includes signalization of the intersection and <br />ENwRONMENrAL the connection of the frontage road through the Guardian Angels and the Hartman property <br />n+uNiaRAL on the north side. The portion of Joplin south of this intersection is included in the <br />"`^""'NO Bazbarossa project by change order. There will also be some minor modification to the <br />~uownsTE highway turn lanes. <br />RUCNRAL <br />suevEnN~ Since the spring tour with MnDOT, we have been working with the District Traffic <br />TRAEFic Engineer to fum up a cost estimate and a splitting of these costs between the City and the <br />TRnNSroRTAno" State. At this point in time, we believe that the total project cost will be approximately <br />ELECTRicnun+EaANicu $200,000 with approximately $110,000 to $115,000 funded by MnDOT. The remaining <br />ENGINEERING: $85,000 to $90,000 would be a City expense. These estimates aze based on percentage of <br />aunt participation; therefore, the actual cost split would be determined on actual bid quantities <br />RowER oisTRisuTioN used once construction is complete. <br />SCADA <br />svsTEn+coNTROLS <br />The process this project should go through would be to undertake the preparation of plans <br /> and specifications yet this year and be prepazed to bid the project late in the fall of 1995. <br /> This will give us an opportunity to pre-order signal equipment or have the City purchase <br /> it and have it available once construction begins in the spring of 1996. By having funding <br /> available in fiscal year 1996, we are obligated to have a contract awarded by June 30, <br /> 1996. This schedule would give us ample opportunity to meet those expectations and to <br /> have an operating signal at that intersection during the summer of 1996. I have attached <br /> a draft resolution for the City Council's consideration which authorizes work to begin on <br /> the preparation of plans and specifications for these improvements. <br />OFFICES IN: <br />MINNEAPOLIS <br />~IOR LAKE <br />ST.
