VII.3. Order Final Plans and Specifications Artery Project City Project 2014-09 (CR 2015-097) \\ / �� September 15, 2015 City of Kopkias Council Report 2015-097 ORDER FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS ARTERY PROJECT CITY PROJECT 2014-09 Proposed Action Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Adopt Resolution 2015-065, Resolution Ordering Final Plans and Specifications, Arter �� Project, Project 2014-09. Overview For the last several years the City of Hopkins has had the desire to create a more visible presence for powntown Hopkins to the travelling public. The expansion of the Southwest Light Rail Transit (LRT) line and planned station at 8`�' Avenue and Excelsior Boulevard creates potential for growth, redevelopment, and a great opportunity to create a connection to showcase Downtown. The vision for 8`" Avenue is to create a vibrant multimodal corridor opening up Mainstreet to the large volume of people passing through Hopkins. City staff has worked to develop the concept to realize this vision. Input from the public and City Council have played a major role in the design recommendations. Preliminary design has been completed and the results are now submitted to Council for review and further action. A brief summary of the recommendations and issues is provided in this report, and a copy of the Streetscape Master Plan is attached. The project consultant, Bolton & Menk, will be accompanying staff to present the plan in detail to the City Council. Primarv Issues to Consider.

The roadway will be rebuilt to allow for expansion of pedestrian and bicycle facilities and amenities throughout the corridor. A cycle track is proposed along the west side of the roadway and widened pedestrian ways are proposed for both sides of the road. The cycle track will provide a connection from the Mississippi River Bluffs Regional Trail south of Excelsior Boulevard at the LRT station to the Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail north of Mainstreet. 8t" Avenue will remain as a two-way street between Excelsior Boulevard and 1 S` Street South, but will be narrowed to allow for only northbound traffic froin 1 S' Street South to Mainstreet. Access from 2°d Street South to 8t�' Avenue is proposed to be closed. The city and consultant have coordinated with Hennepin County to establish a new access for properties east of 8`h Avenue. A new right-in/right-out access to Excelsior Boulevard is proposed between 7"' Avenue and 6`" Avenue to serve the area. The 2°d Street South right-of-way between 8`" and 9t" Avenues will be abandoned and used in the redevelopment of the Johnson building. The water main and sanitary sewer systems along 8t" Avenue will be improved to allow for redevelopment in the area. The systems will be analyzed and upsized to allow for additional demand. Establishing a maintainable corridor with an attractive, timeless look to showcase the history of Hopkins was a top priority. The theme for the corridor will be based on post- industrial elements, which have been coordinated in conjunction with the aesthetics of the new public plaza adjacent to the LRT station. The corridor will also have the ability for greater public use than traditional streets. A plaza space will be defined near Municipal Lot 200, by use of alternative paving materials and strategic placements of streetscape amenities. Allowance for installation of public art has also been considered in the proposed layout. The street drainage system will be a blend of traditional storm sewer and innovative improvements. Pervious pavers and rainwater gardens will be used to create an attractive, yet maintainable environment. Streetscape and lighting improvements will be provided to create a safe sense of place. LED lighting, trees, landscaping, wayfinding signage, and furniture will contribute to establish the look and feel. \\LISA\Engineering\Council Reports�2015�2015.09.15�Artery Project-Accept Prelim Design,Order Final DesignACR2015-097 Order Final Design for Artcry.docx Council Report 2015-097 Page 3 Public Input An open house was held on Septe�nber 3, 2014 for residents in the area bounded by Excelsior Boulevard, 5`" Avenue, Mainstreet, and 8th Avenue to present and discuss the proposed closure of access at 2°d Street South and 8�" Avenue. Staff also met separately with business owners along 2°d Street South to discuss the plan. The overwhelming response to the closure was favorable. Most indicated they deemed the access unsafe and that it wouldn't adversely affect transportation in the area. During the fall of 2014, staff inet individually with property owners along 8t" Avenue to discuss the concepts for the roadway. At all meetings owners indicated they viewed the project favorably, but had concerns regarding loss of on-street parking. A public open house was held December 16, 2014 at LTD Brewing in Downtown Hopkins to present the Artery concept. There was a good turn-out for the event and feedback received was positive. At the event, attendees were asked about several preferences for aesthetics and could actually cast votes for themes and other design elements. In advance of this year's Raspberry Festival the city held an open streets event along gtn Avenue, in which a test run of the Artery concept was conducted. 8`h Avenue was closed between 1 S` Street South and Mainstreet, a cycle track was laid out along the west side of the road, temporary landscaping was brought in, and artists and performers were invited to set up at various locations. Approximately 2,000 people came out, and overall feedback was very positive. Project Budget and Costs The total project cost for the project including 20% contingency and 25% for engineering and administrative is currently estimated at $4,826,800. The city has received several grants and commitments from other agencies to contribute to funding of the project. No assessments are proposed for the project. The CIP budget for this project currently is as follows: CIP Budget Grants/Other Governmental Units $2,445,000 PI-PIR/General Obligation Bonds 1,518,600 Storm Sewer Fund 305,000 Sanitary Sewer Fund 100,000 Water Fund 165,000 Total $4,533,600 \\LISA\Engineering\Council Reports�2015�2015.09.15�Ariery Project-Accept Prelim Design,Order Final Design\CR2015-097 Order Final Design for Artery.docx Council Report 2015-097 Page 4 The preliminary estimate exceeds the amount budgeted by approximately 6%. Contributing to the overage are the large contingencies currently in place in the estimate. These have been inflated since detailed analysis of the project has not yet been completed. Staff anticipates that as final design progesses the estimate will reduce. Construction is not scheduled to begin until 2017 which allows ample time far refinement of the scope to reduce costs and/or acquire additional funding if necessary. Staff will be providing updates back to council as design progesses. Project Schedule Construction is not scheduled to begin until 2017, but it is recommended to advance to final design now to allow for coordination with the Southwest LRT project and adjacent redevelopment of the Johnson Building site.

Artery Experiment Report Executive Summary � Downtown Hopkins is a vibrant and evolving city-center rich in historic character. For a long time, the city has had a desire to make this "hidden gem" more visible from Excelsior Boulevard and other major roadways.With the expansion of the Southwest Light Rail Transit(LRT) line,there exists enormous potential for growth, redevelopment, and the ability to make a stronger connection to downtown for residents and visitors. The future Downtown Hopkins station will be located at 8th Avenue and Excelsior Boulevard, just two blocks from Hopkins Mainstreet.The vision for 8th Avenue is to create a vibrant, interactive and pedestrian-seductive, multimodal connection into downtown Hopkins that announces to all those passing by on Excelsior Boulevard and the future LRT that this is a special place,inviting them to come and explore. This unique connection has been named the Artery. The Artery The City's mission is to Inspire, Educate, Involve, and Communicate.The 8th Avenue Artery will become a corridor that is imbued with this mission by creating places that people can experience each of these ideals. It is a place that will be sensitive to the history of Hopkins and also provides a progressive multimodal connection opportunity to the Downtown Hopkins LRT station. The design for the Artery enhances the experience for pedestrians and cyclists by creating bike and pedestrian focused infrastructure while allowing for efficient vehicular circulation. The Artery will be a vibrant public space that can accommodate events and activities at multiple scales that encourage social interaction, gatherings, experience and creation of art, while enjoying this active public realm. Proposed improvements for the Artery include: • Two-way cycle track connecting the Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail with the Cedar Lake Regional Trail/ Minnesota River Bluffs Tail • One-way vehicular traffic from 1st Street to Mainstreet • Art installations from local & regional artists • Places that invite pop-up art performances • An iconic gateway feature • Interactive "art rooms" • Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), including bio-filtration opportunities • Connection to the Hopkins Downtown LRT Station • Decorative street closure gates for community events • The Artery Plaza, a community gathering space • Energy efficient and interactive lighting for both pedestrian and vehicular use • Informational kiosks � Streetscape Improvements A key component to the Artery is creating a safe and accessible pedestrian environment that is inviting for residents and visitors. Elements of the streetscape will create a consistent theme and evoke a specific character throughout the Artery. Specific improvements with a consistent thematic presence for sense of place include: • Decorative concrete paving and unit pavers within the sidewalks • ADA compliant pedestrian ramps • Decorative crosswalks at intersections • New street paving with minimal use of curb and gutter • Differentiation of paving between sidewalk and cycle track • Decorative lighting armatures unique to the Artery and history of Hopkins • A family of site furnishings including: planter pots, bike racks, benches, litter/recycling receptacles, and bollards • Efficient overhead lighting, as well as interactive art/sculpture lighting • Seasonal planting design consisting of low maintenance, regional specific plant species • Food truck or food cart opportunity areas . \ BUS STOP PROGRESSIVE MULTI-USE V ' DEVELOPMENT W� PARK � RIDE � I .

Figure 1.2-The Artery Overall Plan Background & Project Goals � Project Location The proposed Artery corridor is located along 8th Avenue South from the Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail system, located one-half block north of Mainstreet, to Excelsior Boulevard. Downtown Hopkins Station The Downtown Hopkins Station is part of the proposed Southwest LRT,an extension of the Green Line LRT transit system. It is located at the intersection of Excelsior Boulevard and 8th Avenue South, adjacent to the Cedar Lake LRT/Minnesota River Bluffs Trail. This station will serve as the transportation hub for the area, with the Green Line Extension, commuter parking, and Metro Transit bus facilities. The Downtown Hopkins Station also provides opportunity for pedestrians and cyclists to connect to multiple trail systems, adjacent residential neighborhoods, and the commercial district of downtown Hopkins. Project Goals The City's mission is to Inspire, Educate, Involve, and Communicate. The 8th Avenue Artery will become a corridor that is imbued with this mission by creating places that people can experience each of these ideals. It is a place that will be sensitive to the history of Hopkins and also provide a progressive multimodal connection opportunity to the Downtown Hopkins LRT station. The vision for 8th Avenue is to create a vibrant, interactive and pedestrian-seductive, multimodal artery into downtown. It will include signature gateway features and art pieces along the corridor to capture the interests of users and serve as a catalyst for special events and activities, large and small. People will be invited to make the space their own with places for pop-up art, interactive features, and gathering places. The design for the Artery enhances the experience for pedestrians and cyclists by creating a bike and pedestrian environment,while also allowing for efficient vehicular circulation. The development of the Artery will also be integrated and designed in collaboration with future private transit oriented redevelopment along the corridor. Project History The concept for the Artery emerged early in LRT station area planning. In 2012,the City of Hopkins received a Local Implementation Capacity grant from the Metropolitan Council to begin planning for a pedestrian corridor that would connect the future Downtown Hopkins LRT station with Hopkins' Mainstreet. The project included an Art Summit that was held in February of 2013 with the community to create a vision and process for the integration of public art into the experience of the corridor project.The City hired IBI group to assist with the work, and they produced a report that began to outline the elements that would ultimately be included in the Artery plans, as well as an outline for the implementation and financing for the project. In the summer of 2013,the City heid a Visioning Hopkins Mainstreet event that included several PechaKucha style presentations from a variety of stakeholders.One of them included a vision for the Artery that began to help shape the collective concept for this street project in the minds of the community. � In the spring of 2014,the City engaged Bolton & Menk to begin preliminary design and engineering on the corridor and to assist with the preparation of documents that would be included in an application for an LCA-TOD grant from the Metropolitan Council to fund the construction of the Artery. The City received $1.325 million of LCA-TOD funds through this process.A community open house was held at LTD Brewing on 8tn Avenue and Mainstreet to depute the preliminary design work and elicit feedback from the community. =�ii�" � ��. k�. ��:;. � � 'M t . .... .. ._...._.�. ._.., � E .. r �.` ,. ;*. � t y f �.�Il. - J I ..jt� �� - Y`'• _�� `` � .� ��t�l� ' •� �� ✓!.

At this open house people were asked to vote on a preferred visual aesthetic for the corridor among a series of options, and a "post-industrial" look was strongly favored among participants. Following the open house the City continued to work with Three Rivers Park District on the design of the cycle-track and the park district agreed to fund 50 percent of the cost of the cycle-track, up to $375,000. The City also continued to work with the new owner of the Johnson Building site,a key redevelopment site needed to accommodate the additional right of way that the design of the Artery would require. Based on the timing of the redevelopment of this site,the Artery project is being planned for 2017 construction. � : ._.,> .��A. . � �:` �� .

In the summer of 2015,the City held the Artery Experiment, a three day"test run"of the Artery. With the help of grants from Blue Cross Blue Shield and Hennepin County, the city was able to temporarily lay out the Artery along 8`h Avenue. A festival was held on a Saturday, which tested out closure of the road and invited the community into the space to try it out and give feedback.Approximately 2,000 people came out to test ride the cycle-track, buy art, listen to music, eat food, hang out, and experience what the corridor might be like once completed. 161 people filled out surveys indicating which elements of the Artery they thought were most important (See Appendix E). Overall feedback was extremely positive. The City will also inform the final design with a series of focus groups intended to identify how best to create a space that will be able to be embraced and used by the community and artists to inject life into the space. � . � � .., : , � , ,,. � . f., �,� _ ...... � w � � �f ��' �L3,• , . �. � a`:'tqti x� �..,i-,,.�� ..w "yJ�i tlfl�`"� � �`,✓I�_ ��C,i :r�a-� .t ' . :* 1J � ' '+.r _. -e. .. • L . � � � , _. � � :�. � �� . , . , . . � _ - , � _. .� y_ _ �� ,. }� ; ��, �:4'� .. � f �' ,� qA"e- . .

Hopkins will likely see an influx of visitors, and the ability to adapt and cater to this increase in circulation is a critical step in the growth of Hopkins. The timing of the Artery construction and the proposed circulation improvements will help improve the efficient flow of traffic to and from the Downtown Hopkins LRT station and Mainstreet. The following is a description of the analysis of the preliminary street design: Multiple circulation alternatives were considered to the Artery corridor based on existing and proposed traffic volumes and flows. This included one-way and two-way alternatives on 8th Avenue South,the potential for roundabouts within the system, and the adjustment of intersections at 8th Avenue South and Excelsior Boulevard, and 9th Avenue South and Excelsior Boulevard. The preferred concept was ultimately arrived upon based on the impact level of existing properties,the abilityto convey proposed pedestrian and vehicularvolumes, and the flexibility to use the Artery for special events. This includes two-way traffic on 8th Avenue South from Excelsior Boulevard to 1st Street South and one-way traffic northbound from 1st Street South to Mainstreet. This allows full access to the signalized intersection at Excelsior Boulevard but also allows more flexible space in the existing corridor north of 1st Street South. (See Appendix C) Second Street at the intersection of 8th Avenue South is also planned to close and a right in, right out with turn lane will be developed off of Excelsior Boulevard to 2nd Street midblock between 6th and 7th Avenue South, providing a direct connection to businesses that front Excelsior and also eliminating a dangerous intersection. (See Appendix B) In addition to the roadway,a two-lane cycle track is planned for the west side of the corridor that ties into the Downtown Hopkins station and connects the Cedar lake Regional Trail with the Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail to the north. This allows a safe, separated cycle corridor that connects through the heart of Hopkins. Pedestrian sidewalks are planned for both sides of the corridor, with wider sidewalks on the west side of the corridor to allow a safe and efficient corridor for walking traffic. The City intends to require additional right of way in the event of future development on the east side to allow for wider sidewalks at that time. . , � � 'l� .� x �� ` • �: `. ` � ��t }A'�, REDUCED BUS PULL-OFF AREA,BASED ON ` + � �.{,. ` METRO TNANSIT CURRENT DfSIGN � � r:• �� i �. �� t TRAFfIC SIGNAL POLE WITN ARM , ,A�,�+S �' , �� ,e S � �, :'' �� ``�, (.�, � j�'I,�.�" ' �(� •� ,� , CYCIE TRACK CROSSING PAINTED GREEN �� T` /� .ya • Y G '� �.. �� .Y � ;� A 1 � '"'. �Q . �� ,;S ~ � � PEDESTRIAN PUSH BUTION � , � �� 1 ��+� ° , i; � ( � �I��Y ,��t�iW`,�.2 ,�� TRAFFIC SIGNAI POIE W/BIKE SIGNAI AND .�,�^` { �� y � VEHICIE SIGNAL UGHT �� 1 � � 1 �;.

F��;u�e 5 Right-in/Right-Out On 2nd Street Preliminary Design Concepts � Downtown Hopkins Station Plaza The Downtown Hopkins station is unique along the Southwest LRT corridor in that it will have a large station plaza that ties together multiple Metro transit bus stops, a 190-stall park and ride, and the Downtown Hopkins LRT station. The plaza is highly visible from Excelsior Boulevard and will be the terminus for the Artery corridor. The concept for the plaza at the Downtown Hopkins station incorporates a similar design aesthetic as the Artery and includes similar principals: promoting pedestrian circulation, public art, interaction, ciecorative paving, and using plant material for its form and functiori. The goal for the Downtown Hopkins station plaza is to provide a unique pass-through experience for users of the regional trail system and the LRT line, including people transferring from Metro transit buses and residents from nearby neighborhoods. For LRT passengers, the station plaza is the first impression of Hopkins and this arrival experience should be intriguing and reflect the character of the corridor. The station plaza is to be considered as an extension of the Artery with similar materials, form, and details. Final design and construction of the Downtown Hopkins station plaza will be done by the Southwest LRT Project Office. EXCELSIOR BIVD.

The setback and fa�ade of the building should allow for an expanded pedestrian space and interaction with the streetscape. The concept for this parcel includes a street level plaza at the southeast corner of the building to include an iconic sculpture enhancing the arrival experience to the Artery. Preliminary concepts for the multi-family housing development include an imbedded parking structure with vehicular access from 1st Street that will serve both the public park and ride and residential units. Among the opportunities to enhance the streetscape along the Artery, the city's design team envisions a public/private"biker's lounge"that will include outdoor gather space, bike fix-it stations,water bottle filling stations, trail maps, seating and charging areas, and potential vending opportunities for various bike gear.

The vision for this space is to provide a reprieve from the sun and heat,allow people to take in the sights and sounds of passersby and create an opportunity for pop-up performances. During street closure events,the plaza expands into the street to accommodate large gatherings and performances. This space has a unique character with contrasting paving to the surrounding sidewalk and cycle track. Seating opportunities will incorporate stone benches and moveable table and chairs. An overhead shade structure will provide filtered shade to the space. The support of this structure shall not impede circulation but rather fit into the context of the space. With close proximity to adjacent public parking, separation of the plaza will be achieved through a combination of plant material and decorative fencing. To accommodate proper drainage while also presenting a seemingly "flat" surface for gathering without hindrance by curbs, the Artery Plaza is proposed to be located at a high point. Drainage is proposed to shed away from the center of the corridor in each direction. {iRMAiURES CAfE TFBIE AND CHRIRS OvERnEA�CANOYY SiR11CtURE VEGEiAiEO SCREEN C:�'.�...�.F.��.� P�.'viNG �IMESIONE BIOCK SEAIING S10RMWAiER PIRNiER ,ti '��I � .,:, ��i—._ � — _ _ +��f, }, Y4 .,� I 1 l- .�t 4` � -_:�, '�'"�� a�`- ;:�r � ,.�.,..,�,,.. :�� "? , � ' '�` : . ,� �� . �.�� .��3r...;�.j 1iY" .��' R �.!��--�!�— .�_��_—�.

Figure 11 -Artery Plaza Concept Plan � Sustainability One of the critical success factors behind the design for the Artery is to incorporate sustainable solutions into the paving, stormwater management, lighting and planting design. Diverse use of BMPs strategically designed into the corridor will provide interaction and interpretation as well as a functioning stormwater management system. With the creative use of stormwater management, the Artery will be used as a catalyst for incorporating sustainable design into the progressive development that will continue within the city of Hopkins. Beyond ecological sustainability, the Artery corridor also functions to be economically and socially sustainable. This is achieved by using tried and true, available materials that the City can maintain long- term. By creating usable pedestrian space and connection to local circulation routes,the Artery is promoting local businesses. People affiliate with areas where they can socialize, eat, and recreate, and the Artery provides all of these opportunities. The increased activity, timeless furnishings/finishes, and usability will attract more users, thus promoting economic and development growth.

Figure 12 - Interactive Stormwater Management BMPs Art Rooms � Public art is building a presence in the community of Hopkins and part of the vision for the Artery is to create more opportunities for pubtic art. Art within the corridor will be an integral component and not used as a filler in leftover space. The master plan identifies strategic locations for iconic pieces and outdoor "rooms" that will suggest the history of Hopkins as well as contribute to the place-making of the Artery. Interaction and education through art is encouraged through art rooms which are designed as part of the Artery. These are locations that incorporate art and sculpture in a way that allows users to touch, feel, listen and experience art in a way typically not provided by public art sculptures. A specific example of this is an opportunity to develop an interactive pump and cistern system that is part of the overall stormwater management integration. The artful use of stormwater also brings an educational value to the user interacting with the artwork as they feed the network of troughs and bowls. : ., �. .-� -�, - -- � �! �' t,*�, , ^ / I ��-�I 4.; w ♦� , -. �� ' . . .':� �'4.

Digital kiosks will be incorporated into the streetscape at key locations to help orient visitors through the Artery and into Downtown,as well as post information for local events. Related features will also include a family of wayfinding and informational signage. Character Preference Survey � The location of the Artery is unique as it is the link between the LRT Line, which is a very progressive project with modern technology;and downtown Hopkins,which has a rich historical character. The vision for the Artery is that the design incorporates contemporary nuances but marries them with some of the historical/industrial character that is the backbone of Hopkins, specifically the Minneapolis Threshing Machine (MTM) Company (later merged to form Minneapolis Moline.) At a community open house, attendees were asked to share their opinion about what character they preferred for the Artery. The four choices were: Historic, Contemporary, Post Industrial, and Whimsical. The character imagery used specific to each of the four styles can be viewed in Appendix D.The preferred character style is shown here, Post Industrial, receiving the most"likes"while whimsical received the least. As such, it is recommended that final design proceed with further development of the Artery corridor plans utilizing a post-industrial theme. , r,rt � �, -- -..�,, w " � .� , i - � ` �.;„ . s ti.' .. , ,-, '� , .

Phase two includes the area from Excelsior Boulevard to 1st Street. This will allow traffic to flow around the Artery when Phase Three is under construction. Phase three will be the remaining portion of the Artery between 1st Street S. and Mainstreet. In order to provide a successful project with minimal disturbance, final completion date will vary based on coordination efforts and construction timeline of other development projects within the corridor.Construction completion is targeted to be completed on or before the opening of the Hopkins Downtown station. �;i �� ,3'�;r�� `} .��- L _ 1 . ;.. � _ , ��'� , •..� ��+ �+ �� .^ � D�� ( a�' r,�''�, � .� z� �.. y r� _ —I ' � .,�' � �'��'�i'�R�r► .Z7-� .

Landscaping Maintenance Overview The improvements to the 8th Avenue corridor should be contemplated simultaneous with an ongoing maintenance considerations. The Artery will require ongoing, routine maintenance to be a viable public feature in the long term. The recommendations for this section of the report deals with elements which require monitoring and/or maintenance corresponding to that of the materials installed along the Artery corridor. Plant materials are only one component included within the Artery that will require periodic maintenance to maximize the Artery's longevity and timeless design. Street Trees Though these make up a small fraction of the total vegetation within the project area, street trees require annual monitoring to ensure that they remain healthy. Major pruning projects should be generally be undertaken during the winter months when trees are dormant. Trees should be monitored so that any problems can be accessed and treated promptly.The fall months provide opportunity to plant trees, after the heat of summer has passed.Collection of leaves in late fall for mulching or composting is another activity to address prior to the onset of winter. As part of the final design of the project, it is recommended street trees be designed with appropriate underlying conditions for retention of moisture, perhaps through a combination of drain tile and structure soils. Perennials and Ornamental Grasses The window for maintenance on most perennials and ornamental grasses is much reduced from that of trees and shrubs. With the onset of winter,these plants mainly die back until the warmth and moisture of spring. Therefore, maintenance really begins in early spring with cutting back of ornamental grasses to 6 inches above ground before new growth occurs.Ornamental grasses could be trimmed back in November, but plants are typically maintained to provide color and interest during the winter months. Waiting until the spring also allows for this material to be removed during cleanup of the beds which occurs in early spring.These plantings are not proposed to be irrigated,therefore it is recommended that hardy plantings be selected during final design to be tolerant of dry conditions. Additionally, many of the plantings are proposed to be located in areas receiving salt laden runoff during winter and early spring conditions. It is recommended plantings in these spaces be selected which are generally more salt tolerant to some degree. Bioretention Celis Bioretention cells are designed to infiltrate water through the planting medium. In order to provide adequate infiltration the planting median is designed with a modified soil mix and plant material that will require additional water the first year to aid in establishment. The plant material used for bioretention cells are tolerant to this modified soil and extremes of wet and dry conditions once established requiring similar maintenance requirements as typical planting beds.The removal of trash and sediment buildup from within the bioretention cells will need to be done periodically as these are collection areas for the streets and sidewalks. The addition of pre-treatment devices, such as a "Rain Guardian" which has successfully been used elsewhere in Hopkins, can be used to filter out the unwanted sediment and trash prior to entering the bioretention cells, thus minimizing the maintenance and extending the lifespan of the bioretention cell modified soil. It is recommended that pretreatment devices be considered at bioretention basins and � implemented where appropriate. It is also recommended underdrain cleanout risers be provided to enable cleaning of the underdrain system. Pavers Maintenance of concrete pavers should be minimized to placing additional sand periodically and replacing broken pavers. This can be any time when temperatures are sufficient to allow the sand used in the setting bed to be leveled without freezing. However, it would be best to check pavers It is recommenedrecommended pavers be inspected once each spring and fall when checking plant material for pruning and general bed maintenance. Cracked, severely chipped, or sunk pavers should be removed and replaced. When you inspect pavers, check for cracked or chipped pavers. Permeable Pavers Maintaining surface infiltration and resulting underdrain exfiltration is key to long-term pavement performance. Permeable areas should be observed periodically during rain events for proper drainage. After several years, it may be necessary to enlist a commercialutilize a vacuum truck to remove existing aggregate and accumulated sediment and refill the voids with clean aggregate. No special requirements are needed for snow removal other than de-icing chemicals can be used sparingly because of the insulated qualities of the system and the warmer temperatures in the substrate. Due to the modular make-up of the pavers, repairs are easily made by removing the damaged paver and replacing it with a new one. Lighting Maintenance of lighting includes not only street lighting but also up-lighting of corridor elements.The use of LED fixtures will help ensuring ensure that all lights remain in working order and not become a burdening maintenance burden activity for the City, . as anAn LED luminaire will typically last 20 years without replacement. Networking platform control systems are available now that make it easy and affordable to increase the efficiency, safety, and versatility of a municipal lighting system. These wireless systems can provide user control over each individual light as well as provide usage and failure analysis creating a more efficient and scheduled maintenance regime. Snow Removal It is recommended the efficient collection and removal of snow from the Artery be thoroughly and routinely considered as part of the final design elements. During the winter months, the Artery can will require snow clearing and removalbe cleared with large equipment as preferred to be used by the city of Hopkinsby the City.. DuringCity. During final design of the Artery in consideration of large equipment use, the Artery amenities should be strategically positioned along the sidewalks and cycle track to minimize non-accessible areas for larger snow clearing equipment,thereby minimizing the use of smaller equipment or hand operated tools. TFrom the preliminary design plan, the proposed median between the cycle track and roadway is considered a maintenance median allowing for snow to be temporarily stored in small events, or pushed across to the parking stalls on 8th avenue for temporary storage in large following extreme events. It is recommended that all central biofiltration facilities be designed with median noses or other creative means to prevent damage to the Artery facilities, maintenance equipment, or discomfort/ injury to equipment operators. Minimal use of blunt edges in the Artery's final design is proposed. It is ' recommended a maintenance review be conducted at various milestones with appropriate City Staff to further guide the project in addition to the design team's considerations. In designing forlarge equipment use, the Artery amenities are strategically positioned along the sidewalks and cycle track to minimize non-accessible areas. Specialty Items Within the Artery corridor will be specialty items that will each have their own maintenance requirements that cannot be detailed at this time. As design moves from concept into reality, it is our intention to design each specialty item with maintenance and longevity in mind. Assistance will also be provided in the programming and commissioning of artist and art installations within the corridor. Upon final design of the Artery corridor,a maintenance guidelines can be provided to assist in managing the overall corridor and individual items within. � Appendix A - Design Recommendation Graphics Presentation and Deliverables 1 � � • • . ., ,. ;'��-, ; ��'� f' , -MAINSTREEf -' w _. - . -"'�'� � F�� .

Subject: 2°d St S Analysis of Traffic& Impacts I. Introduction The purpose of this study is to analyze the operational impacts of the proposed access changes on 2"d St S between 6"'Ave S and 7`�'Ave S in the City of Hopkins. There is currently a commercial properties located on 2°d St S between 7`�'Ave S and 6`�'Ave S that generates heavy vehicle traffic. Local residents have voiced concern over the amount of heavy vehicles accessing the site via 7th Ave S and 6"'Ave S. A concept layout that closes access to both 6`�'Ave S and 7`�'Ave S and creates a right in/right out intersection on Excelsior Blvd(C.S.A.H. 3) for the commercial properties was proposed to the City of Hopkins. Figure 1 details the concept layout showing the proposed 2°d St S access changes. II. Data Collection 24-hour turning movement counts were completed at the intersections of 2"a St S/7"'Ave S and 2"a St S/6`�'Ave S on February 19,2014. Additionally, a tube count was completed on westbound Excelsior Blvd(C.S.A.H. 3)between 5`�'Ave S and 8`�'Ave S on March 5, 2014. Turning movement counts collected from previous work in the area were also used to fill in gaps around the study area. Figure 2 displays the traffic volumes in the study area for the existing conditions and the rerouted voluines for the proposed 2"d St S access change condition. III. Traffic Operations Analysis Intersection Delay/Level of Service (LOS) Intersection Delay/Level of Service(LOS) The LOS results are based on average delay per vehicle as calculated by the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual(HCM),which defines the level of service,based on control delay. Control delay is the delay experienced by vehicles slowing down as they approach the intersection,the wait time at the intersection, and the time for the vehicle to speed up through the intersection and enter into the traffic stream. Intersections and each intersection approach are given a ranking from LOS A through LOS F. LOS A through D is generally perceived to be acceptable to drivers. LOS E indicates that an intersection is operating at, or very near,its capacity and that drivers experience considerable delays. LOS F indicates an intersection where demand exceeds capacity and drivers experience substantial delays.

The delay threshold for unsignalized intersections is lower for each LOS compared to signalized intersections, which accounts for the fact that people expect a higher level of service when at a stop- controlled intersection. Signalized Intersection TWSC/AWSC* Intersection LOS Delay(sec) Delay (sec) A < 10 < 10 B > lOto<20 > lOto< 15 C >20 to<35 > 15 to<25 D > 35to<55 >25to<35 E >SSto<80 >35to<50 F >80 >50 *TWSC=Two-Way Stop Control,AWSC=All Way Stop Control Modeling Methodology Synchro/SimTraffic was used to analyze the following intersections for LOS,delay,and queuing: • Excelsior Blvd at 8�h Ave S • Excelsior Blvd at 5`�'Ave S • Proposed Commercial Entrance on Excelsior Blvd (C.S.A.H. 3) Three different scenarios were modeled and analyzed to detennine the traffic impacts of the proposed 2nd St S Access Change including 2014 Existing Conditions and with the proposed 2°d St S Access Change. Both the AM and PM peak hours were modeled for the scenarios,however traffic volumes were significantly higher during the PM peak hour so only those results are discussed below. Existing Conditions The existing conditions were analyzed to determine the current level of operations of the study area and to set a baseline for the existing intersections. Table 2 summarizes the results of this analysis for the PM peak hour.

Table 3 summarizes the results of this analysis for the PM peak hour.

There are no unacceptable traffic movements. Overall,the proposed condition is anticipated to operate acceptably. IV. Truck Traffic The traffic going to and from the commercial properties includes both passenger vehicles and heavy vehicles. Figure 3 details the specific types of truck traffic and heavy vehicles observed daily within the study area under existing conditions. Approximately 4.4°/o of the traffic on 6`�'Ave S and 7`�'Ave S are trucks. A typical residential street has about 2%heavy vehicles,primarily consisting of garbage trucks, delivery vehicles,and school buses. The proposed condition would be anticipated to reduce the truck traffic using both 6`�'Ave S and 7`''Ave S as depicted in Figure 4.With the proposed access changes,the proposed Commercial Entrance on Excelsior Blvd(C.S.A.H. 3) should be designed to accoimnodate a WB-62 truck which was the largest H:\HOPK\T16107809�2_Preliminary_Design\C_Reports\2nd S[Memo�2014.03.26_2ndSt_Traffic_Analysis_Memo.docx DESIGNING FOR A BETfER TOMORROW Boli�on 8 Menk is an equal opporluniy employer. 2"a St S Analysis of Traffic& Impacts March 28,2014 !,;�� , City of Hopkins � �' Page 4 , heavy vehicle observed accessing the commercial properties. V. School Bus Traffic Of special significance in this area are the multiple school buses that routinely travel from 6"'Ave S and 7°i Ave S to 2"d St S and vice versa on weekdays as identified in the vehicle classification tables shown on Figure 3. If access is restricted on 2"d St S as shown in Figure 1,these school buses are going to have to back up in order to drop children off along 2"d St S,6'''Ave S,and/or 7`�'Ave S. Currently,the school buses are able to circle around the block,but under the proposed condition,they will be unable to do so. School buses do not routinely back up due to safety considerations of making such movements around children. Figure 4 illustrates the redistributed school bus traffic within the study area under the 2"d St S access change condition. VI. County Road Access Considerations The concept layout depicted in Figure 1 shows an additional intersection on Excelsior Blvd(C:S.A.H. 3). Excelsior Blvd is an A Minor Arterial roadway under the jurisdiction of Hennepin County. The new Commercial Entrance would be approximately 525 feet from both 5`�'Ave S and 8`�'Ave S which are the adjacent signalized intersections. Based on the functional classification of the roadway, partial access (unsignalized) intersection spacing as consistent with Hennepin County access management guidelines is 1/8 mile. These guidelines are also consistent with MnDOT's access management guidelines. A review of the existing access points in the study area and the proposed access point indicate that the intersection spacing is sufficiently close to meeting the recommended guidelines. The operational analysis confirms that the access location spacing can operate acceptably. � � � �r,- . ��,� , � � � � Intersection Spacing Typical Functional Area or Facility Class Full Movement partial Access Access Minor Arterials Urban (Divided) 1/4 Mile 1/8 Mile Source: Hennepin County Access Management Brochure VII. St'' Ave S Intersectio� The concept layout depicted in Figure 1 shows the reinoval of the existing southbound, eastbound,and westbound channelized right turns at the intersection 5`�'Ave S and Excelsior Bivd (C.S.A.H. 3). All three inove�nents would be signal controlled instead of yielding free-right turns. An exclusive right turn lane is shown for the southbound movement as well.This alternative was analyzed and the results are suimnarized in Table 3. Two other alternatives for the southbound right turn at this intersection were also analyzed. Figure 5 depicts a southbound channelized right with a yield sign and no added westbound lane.This alternative is currently what exists at this intersection. Figure 6 depicts an uncontrolled southbound channelized right turn with an added lane that becomes the right turn lane for the Commercial Entrance. Table 5 summarizes the results of the three different southbound right alternatives.

Conclusion The proposed 2°`� St S access changes do not significantly impact the existing intersections in the study area and would reduce the truck traffic on 6`�'Ave S and 7`�'Ave S. However,there are some operational issues with school bus traffic and their access to and from 2°d St S with the access changes. Further discussion should be completed with the school district to understand the current bus routes and their access needs along 2"d St S, 6`�'Ave S,and 7`�'Ave S. Removing the channelized right turns at the intersection of 5"'Ave S and Excelsior Blvd (C.S.A.H. 3) for southbound,westbound and eastbound would impact right turning trucks. Further investigation into the design would need to be completed to make sure truck movements are accoimnodated. The vehicle weaving that occurs for westbound traffic for the alternative shown in Figure 6 is also a concern that should be taken into account if this alternative is selected.

Subject: ARTery Analysis of Traffic, Intersection Configurations& Impacts I. Introduction The purpose of this study is to detennine whether alternatives exist to effectively control traffic and increase the availability of physical space along 8`''Ave S referred to as"the ARTery",through the use of one way pairs on 8'�'Ave S and 9`�'Ave S. This analysis proposes several options for traffic operations for 8`�'Ave S and consequently 9`�'Ave S under some alternatives. The study involves documenting the conditions as it relates to operational impacts of the different corridor alternatives for key intersections in the study area. Figure 1 illustrates the study location and the key intersections analyzed. The outcome of this analysis is to define available options for the development of street and intersection layouts which will then be developed further during preliminary design of the ARTery corridor and related improvement projects. II. Data Collection Traffic counts were collected on 9`�'Ave S between 1 s' St S and 2°`�St S, 8"'Ave S between 1 S' St and Excelsior Blvd(C.S.A.H. 3), and 1 S` St S between 8`''Ave S and 9"'Ave S on March 5, 2014. Turning movement counts collected from previous work in the area were also used to fill in gaps around the study area. Figure 1 displays the existing 2014 traffic volumes in the study area. III. One Way vs Two Way Considerations When considering whether to go with a one way or two way street design the following should be considered: • Two way streets are preferred by local businesses that depend on their visibility from passing vehicles • Two way streets are typically less confusing for visitors to the area than one way streets. • One way streets would provide additional space for amenities both on and off the roadway. • One way streets typically result in higher traffic flow and have increased capacity over two way streets • One way streets typically have fewer conflicting turning movements at their intersections.

Traffic Operations Analysis Intersection Delay/Level of Service (LOS) Intersection Delay/Level of Service(LOS) The LOS results are based on average delay per vehicle as calculated by the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM),which defines the level of service based on control delay. Control delay is the delay experienced by vehicles slowing down as they approach the intersection,the wait time at the intersection, and the time for the vehicle to speed up through the intersection and enter into the traffic stream. Intersections and each intersection approach are given a ranking from LOS A through LOS F. LOS A through D is generally perceived to be acceptable to drivers. LOS E indicates that an intersection is operating at, or very near,its capacity and that drivers experience considerable delays. LOS F indicates an intersection where deinand exceeds capacity and drivers experience substantial delays. The LOS and its associated intersection delay for signalized and unsignalized intersections is presented in Table 1. The delay threshold for unsignalized intersections is lower for each LOS compared to signalized intersections, which accounts for the fact that people expect a higher level of service when at a stop- controlled intersection. !� �� i � , � Signalized Intersection TWSC/AWSC* Intersection LOS Delay(sec) Delay(sec) A < l0 < 10 B > lOto<20 > lOto< l5 C >20to<35 > 15to<25 D >35to<55 >25to<35 E > SSto<80 >35to<50 F >80 >50 *TWSC=Two-Way Stop Control,AWSC=All Way Stop Control Modeling Methodology Synchro/SimTraffic was used to analyze the following intersections for LOS,delay, and queuing: • Mainstreet at 8`�'Ave S • Mainstreet at 9'�'Ave S • ls' StSat8`hAveS • 15tStSat9`"AveS • Excelsior Blvd (C.S.A.H. 3) at 8"'Ave S • Excelsior Blvd(C.S.A.H. 3)at 9°i Ave S Six different alternative concepts were developed for the study area. The existing conditions and these alternatives were modeled and analyzed to determine the traffic impacts of each. 2014 existing volumes were used and redistributed based on the roadway changes for each alternative. Both the AM and PM peak hours were modeled for the existing conditions and all six alternatives,however traffic volumes were significantly higher during the PM peak hour therefore those results were used for comparison and are discussed below.

This additional traffic is distributed through the study area and the key intersections are analyzed to detennine the anticipated impacts.

C��t�a�~t i Restricted by budgetary,information,and time constraints,governments are often unable to produce community projects that truly reflect the preferences and needs of the community.The City of Hopkins did not want to fall victim to such a circumstance when planning one of its major undertakings,the Artery; rather,it wanted to actively ensure that the money it would be spending on a large-scale reconstruction project would be well spent and that the project itself would be beneficial to and desired by the community. Enter the Artery Experiment. Held on Saturday,July 11,2015,this well attended one-day event was designed to introduce to Hopkins residents and visitors plans for the Artery-a reconstruction of gth Avenue South-and to seek their feedback on the proposed designs. Featuring nearly twenty different temporary installations,meant to mimic permanent components featured in the initial plans,the Artery Experiment provided guests with an opportunity to experience what is proposed currently for 8th Avenue South and to influence what will actually be built. This report presents a summary of each of the installations featured at the Artery Experiment. When relevant,a"lessons learned"section is included and is intended to aid people who may be planning similar events in the future.The report also contains summaries of the feedback provided in the preference surveys that were distributed to guests at the event.

Hopkins Plaza,an apartment and townhome complex,was an enthusiastic and supportive community partner.When alerted that the road closure for the open streets event would block access to one of their resident parking lots,the development and management teams happily agreed to turn the situation into a positive and host complementary activities on their property. Mr.Michael Boyd,property manager of Hopkins Plaza,programed various activities for their parking lot, including:a photography exhibit and sale,a food truck,a paintball fundraiser,and a fire truck. Management also allowed Jimmy Longoria's interactive mural installation to be located in the parking lot. Gallery Flats,another apartment complex on 8�h Avenue,permitted the City to use its Wi-Fi for credit card transactions made at the Art from the Attic Sale. Little Blind Spot,a window covering store and showroom,allowed the City to station its bike corral in one of its parking lots. Members of the Hopkins Elks Lodge#2221 granted the City permission to use its yard and parking lot for the lawn games installation.They also had a cookout open to the public. myHealth for Teens and Young Adults,a medical clinic,graciously permitted the City to place a large vertical wooden structure in front of their building days before the event for Shawn McCann to create his 3-D chalk rendering. Mainstreet Bar&Grill had an outdoor setup near Artery Plaza from which they sold various lunch items. '�' �,`. _ �`, �� :�. f ' -��.� ��.y �� + _ ___.�. r ,��, �� .,........ Right.

BASIC SERVICES In accordance with the preliminary design report, the City of Hopkins is interested in developing plans and specifications for construction of the Artery along 8`� Avenue S between Mainstreet and Excelsior Boulevard. The Artery will also require construction of improvements along 2nd Street S, between 5`h Avenue and 8`h Avenue, and along 8`h Avenue N, from Mainstreet to the existing regional trai] near Is` St N. Bolton & Menk, Inc. will provide professional engineering, surveying, and landscape architecture services to meet this need. Bolton & Menk will also contract with others to provide geotechnical engineering, architectural/structural engineering, and professional lighting design services. A description of proposed services is detailed herein. Task 1: Final Design and Bid Phase Services Bolton & Menk, Inc. will develop final design construction documents based on the Artery Master Plan/preliminary design. Final design and bid phase services shall include the following: 1.1 Public Utilities Detailed design for sanitary sewer and watermain improvements. Maintenance of sanitary sewer service and water service (domestic and fire protection) will be considered and incorporated into the design. This task includes preparation of the following plans: • Removal plans • Plan and profile sheets for sanitary sewer and watermain improvements, including coordination with appropriate City Staff inembers and developers regarding utility service sizes for individual properties • Construction details 1.2 Roadway Corridor Geometry Our team of engineers and technicians are committed to providing comprehensive, detailed construction plans that are legible, constructible, and ultimately improvements that are maintainable. This task includes preparation of the following plans: • Removal plans � Plan and profile sheets (20 scale) showing plan dimensions; profiles on roadway centerline, curb, and cycle track; spot elevations and grades on sidewalks, pervious pavers, and biofiltration facility borders • Construction details, including intersection details, building entrance details, special pavement details, and biofiltration facility borders City of Hopkins ] DRAFT September 3,2015 • Internal QA/QC reviews for constructability and maintainability including but not limited to snow removal and proper drainage � Typical sections 1.3 Storm Sewer, Pervious Paver Systems, and Miscellaneous Drainage Stormwater management features of the Artery are a unique and vital element of the corridor's success. The design of these feature is intended to provide a mixture of stormwater management benefits to adjacent properties, provide a source of water for corridor plantings, and adequately drain the corridor facilities for safe and efficient use by the public and maintenance staff. Careful consideration and critique of all elements will be critical to achieving success. This task includes preparation of the following plans and efforts: • Creation of removal plans • Further detailed consideration of regional stormwater management opportunities for use by adjacent developments • Stormwater management calculations to meet Nine Mile Creek Watershed District Standards for permitting and potentially stormwater management credit banking • Spread analysis on both the standard easterly curb line and the central pervious paver drainage pan system as well as citing drainage structures/overflows at appropriate locations for extreme rainfall events • Storm pipe and system capacity analysis using the previously developed Citywide Storm and Sanitary Analysis (SSA) model • Plan and profile sheets (20 scale) showing proposed starm sewer and underdrain layout • Details of biofiltration facilities including excavation depths, planting/filtration materials, underdrains, and storage capacities/depths/overflow elevations • Coordination with the landscape plan for suitable plantings given anticipated drainage conditions • Creation of details and tabulations of storm sewer piping and structures 1.4 Signal Improvements—Mainstreet and 8rn The project includes signal revisions to the Mainstreet/8`� intersection to accommodate new 8`h roadway alignment and cycle track. This will include the development of a revised signal plan for each signal, wiring diagrams, and Special Provisions. Signal plans will follow MnDOT standards. The existing signal timings will be evaluated and a coordination plan will be developed to fit with the coordination of signals completed under the Mainstreet Improvements Project. 1.5 Signal Improvements—Excelsior and gtn Between the LRT and Artery projects, major revisions to the traffic signal at Excelsior Blvd and 8`� Avenue are anticipated. The signal cabinet and equipment will need to be upgraded to include the LRT preemption, cycle track signals, APS improvements, exclusive left turn signals for N-S traffic, and possibly flashing yellow arrow for some or all directions. Signal pole relocations and mast arm modifications are also anticipated. City of Hopkins 2 DRAF`T September 3,2015 Interconnection with the signals along Excelsior Boulevard may be necessary as dictated by Hennepin County. Bolton & Menk's project team is experienced and qualified in all of these signal modifications, however we recognize the majority of these efforts would be a necessary improvement of the LRT project without the presence of Artery. Therefore, we are proposing they be completed by the LRT project at the cost of the SPO. As such, no work is proposed within the scope of this agreement. Bolton & Menk would be pleased to design these improvements for the City of Hopkins as an alternative,but would suggest all costs should be borne by the SPO for our efforts. This agreement can be revisited to include such scope or a separate proposal can be provided to include this work. 1.6 Staging and Temporary Traffic Control Our team will develop a construction staging plan that manages effective movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic while maintaining efficient construction progress throughout construction. The staging plan will be developed through consideration of working days necessary to complete the project, cost effectiveness of various staging/traffic control alternatives, the access needs of adjacent properties and impact of parking and access restrictions, and function of the City's roadway network while access is restricted along 8`h Avenue S . This is especially important for redevelopment along 8`h that may have limited construction access. Staging plans will address traffic control needs for each stage of construction and include quantities and bid items far temporary items. This task includes preparation of: • Construction Staging and Traffic Control Plans 1.7 Landscape Plan Development Develop detailed landscape plans in accordance with the preliminary design plan and in collaboration of stormwater best management practices for the corridor that contain the following: • Typical sections, details and tabulations • Landscaping plans and details including planter locations, plant type and size • Specifications for planting and structural soils 1.8 Streetscape Plan development Detailed construction plans and details shall be developed for the following: • Special paving plan for sidewalks and intersections • Plans and details including planter locations, plant type and size • Streetscape amenities plan and details including bench and litter receptacles, planter urns, bicycle racks, and signage 1.9 Art Rooms and Unprogrammed Seating Space The Design team shall develop final design documents for Art Rooms and spaces along the corridor to create a unique pedestrian attractive use including the use of special materials and layout and the development of seating nodes. 1.10 Armatures, Site Furnishings, and Amentities City of Hopkins 3 DRAFT September 3,2015 The Design team in collaboration with the City and stakeholder group shall develop signature armatures for the corridor to serve as a brand identity and art component of the Artery. The armatures shall also serve as the basis for area lighting design for pedestrian and vehicular areas. A family of site furnishing and amenities shall be developed to complement the Armatures. The plans shall include the following: • Armature layout, details and specifications • Site furnishing and amenities layouts, details and tabulations 1.11 Development of Stormwater Interactive Kiosk As part of the corridor design, an interactive kiosk shall be designed to educate the community regarding stormwater quality practices that are integrated into the Artery design. The plans will include elevation layouts of the proposed kiosk with required dimensions and components including electrical, structural (footings, columns, etc), and aesthetic qualities. Project specifications will provide material components of the kiosk and require submittal of shop drawings by the construction contractor for development of final structural details. 1.12 General Plan Production The project team will assemble the plan sheets described in previous tasks. This task includes preparation of other general sheets such as: • Title Sheet � Legends • General Layouts • Statement of Estimated Quantities • Miscellaneous Details • SWPPP 1.13 Specifications and Project Manual Prepare project manual for the project, including: • General Information for Bidders: Advertisement for Bids, Instructions to Bidders, Special Bidding requirements/provisions • General Conditions and Supplementary Conditions • Information to be submitted with bid: Proposal, Bid Bond, Information requested from Bidder, etc. • Agreement, Performance Bond and Payment Bond forms • General Conditions � Technical Specifications /Special Provisions • Reference Information: Geotechnical Investigation, other applicable information 114 Bidding The following services will be provided during the bidding phase: • Assist City staff in the preparation of advertisement for bids and submittal to the local newspaper and other required publications; secure affidavits of publication. • Post advertisement for bids on the Bolton & Menk and Quest CDN websites. City of Hopkins 4 DRAFT September 3,2015 • Upon request by prospective bidders, subcontractors or suppliers, distribute copies of the contract/bidding documents—hard copy, electronic documents or both. A nominal fee may be charged to prospective contractors for bidding documents. � Maintain and update a plan holders list throughout bidding period. � Address questions from prospective bidders, subcontractors and suppliers, and prepare and issue addenda as reyuired. � If requested by the City, conduct a pre-bid meeting for prospective bidders, subcontractors or suppliers. • Assist City staff with the public opening and reading of the bids. • Review bids and prepare bid tabulation and abstract of all bid items. • Assist City staff in preparing recommendation for City Council regarding the award of the bid. • lf requested by the City, attend a City Council meeting to answer any questions regarding the award recommendation. 1.15 Private Utility Coordination The project team will coordinate with private utilities to attempt to avoid and prevent conflicts that may arise during construction. Efforts associated with this task include: • Early notification letters to utility owners listed on the project topographic survey Gopher One ticket requesting property owners to review conditions of their utilities through the corridor, provide maps for verification, and consider improvement of private utilities in conjunction with the project. • Inviting private utility owners to a design coordination meeting • Hosting the private utility design coordination meeting � Routine coordination phone calls with owners of private utilities • Developing and mailing a secondary follow-up letter with non-responsive private utility owners Task 2: Meetings & Coordination The Artery Improvements have many stakeholders with various interests in the corridor and its connections. In addition to the City, agency stakeholders key to the project's success in addition to the public at large include Three Rivers Park District, Met Council's Southwest Project Office (SPO), Met Transit, Hennepin County Public WarksBngineering, Nine Mile Creek Watershed District (NMCWD), and developer(s) working on adjacent property. Bolton & Menk is proposing both a coordination plan and public outreach plan to efficiently deliver the Artery project. 2.1 City Staff coordination meetings (5 meetings) Five meetings are proposed to be held with City of Hopkins staff throughout the final design process. These meetings will discuss findings, issues, schedule, and needs to keep the project progressing. 2.2 Stakeholder Group Meetings (4 meetings) To efficiently facilitate permitting and buy-in from the key stakeholders, Bolton & Menk is proposing to develop a project stakeholder focus group to meet on a regular (perhaps a City of Hopkins 5 DRAFT September 3,2015 bi-monthly or quarterly) basis. Such meetings are proposed in addition to meetings with City Staff who wouid be able to provide guidance and direction prior to each stakeholder group meeting. Specific discussion topics will be developed prior to each meeting, but in general these meetings would entail: • Meeting 1 —The public infarmational meeting will begin early in the final design process in order to communicate to the stakeholders owners the general nature of the project and to gather information and ideas. Some final design input would also be sought at this meeting. • Meeting 2— Input session for final design options. This is an opportunity for the stakeholders to react to the various design options and verify the design direction. • Meeting 3 —Input session for final design options. Again, this is an opportunity for input for the more refined final design options. • Meeting 4—Final presentation of streetscape plan with acceptance from Stakeholder. 2.3 Public Engagement The project team will conduct a public engagement meeting to be held midway through the final design process to solicit input from the community on the final design options. While not led by Bolton & Menk, we will also attend other public coordination meetings including the integration of artistic features. 2.4 City Council Meetings (1 Workshop and one Regular Meeting) Two meetings will be held with City Council during the design process to keep Council Members apprised of the process and to answer any questions about the project. 2.5 Coordination with Johnson Property Developer (2 Meetings) Two detailed design meetings are anticipated with the developer to coordinate the design interface between the proposed development and Artery project. This includes subsurface and surface treatments, space needs, construction scheduling, and stormwater coordination. 2.6 Coordination with Owlize for Development of 3D Model Bolton & Menk will coordinate with Owlize in their efforts of creating a 3D model for the City's use. 2.7 Assist with Artist Coordination and Commissioning Bolton & Menk will assist the City in developing guidelines for public art in the corridor and for Commissioning art work for defined art space areas. Task 3: Contracted Services Bolton & Menk will secure a geotechnical consultant for the project to collect soil borings and provide recommendations for pavement design and design parameters for on- site infiltration. More specifically, services to be reyuested of the geotechnical subconsultant will include collection of six soil borings to l5 foot depth and two infiltrometer tests, determination of an estimated R-value and soil infiltration City of Hopkins ( DRAF"I'September 3,2015 capacity/rate, and documentation of these parameters and recommendations related to the proposed design in a geotechnical report. Bolton & Menk will also contract with a professional architect for design of signature archway and gathering space pavilion. It is anticipated that Bolton & Menk shall contract with 292 Design Group for these services. For design of professional lighting and electrical design of the corridor, Bolton & Menk will contract with Barr Engineering. A summary of Barr Engineering's proposed scope of work is as follows: • Coordinate new electric service for proposed new feedpoints, or upgrade of existing feedpoints as necessary to be determined in the course of design. • Meet with Bolton & Menk and City Staff to develop electrical design (and lighting design if applicable). Three in-person meetings have been budgeted in Hopkins or Burnsville. • New load calculations, as well as voltage drop calculations for powering of lighting and system components. • Relocation of three (3) existing poles/luminaires along Excelsior Boulevard. • Lighting design services including product selection assistance and lighting layout with photometric analyses of product options and recommendations. • Proposed electrical and lighting system design documents, developed to the appropriate stage, consisting of plans and specifications. These will be developed to 60°Io, 90°Io, and full construction document stages. • Opinion of Probable Cost to 60°Io, 90°Io, and full construction document stages. • Bid-phase assistance in the form of answering bidder questions via telephone. Costs for services by companies other than Bolton & Menk are proposed to be furnished at cost plus 10°Io overhead fee, consistent with our standard agreement.
