• Scope of Improvements
In preparing the feasibility report the consultant relied on soil borings and testing analysis to augment the
City's pavement management analysis. A pavement evaluation report based on the additional soil tests
helped in determining the following recommendation:
5th Ave. S. (3 St. S. to the RR Crossing) Mill and overlay
5 Ave. S. (RR Crossing to Excelsior Blvd.) Reconstruct
5 Ave. S. (Excelsior Blvd. to Mainstreet) Mill and overlay
5th Ave. N. (Mainstreet to 1 St. N.) Reconstruct
5 Ave. N. (1 St. N. to 2'd St. N) Reconstruct
5th Ave. N. (2 St. N. to Minnetonka Mills Rd.) Mill and overlay
5 Ave. N. (Minnetonka Mills Rd. to Highway 7) Mill and overlay
2nd Street N. (5 Ave. N to 6 Ave. N.) Reconstruct
Water main upgrades include adding gate valves for system improvement and replacement of service lines
where necessary.
Sanitary sewer improvements include manhole reconstruction for system flow improvements and
replacement of service lines where necessary.
Storm sewer upgrades include additional pipe and catch basin systems to improve drainage and capacity
problems along 5 Avenue at Mainstreet and Minnetonka Mills Road.
Recommended amenities include the reconstruction of the sidewalk system along the west side of 5 Ave.
N. (between Mainstreet and 1 St. N. and north of Minnetonka Mills Road to Highway 7), the addition of
sidewalk along the north side of 2 Street North from 5 Ave. North to 6 Ave. North, and the continuation
of a sidewalk on the east side of 5 Ave. N. to Highway 7 that currently ends in between Minnetonka Mills
Road and Wayside Road. Street lighting and streetscape improvements are proposed along 5 Avenue
from 3 Street South to Mainstreet. Various pedestrian crossing safety improvements are proposed
throughout the project.
Upgrading of the 5 Ave. S. railroad crossing located just south of Excelsior Blvd. is also proposed for this
project. Options for these crossing improvements such as a concrete crossing and a "whistle free"
crossing are currently being explored and discussed with the railroad.
• Public Input
A public information meeting was held for all of the proposed improvement areas on July 9, 2002, and a
resident survey questionnaire was sent in the mail. Responses and feedback gathered at both the public
information meeting and through the returned questionnaires have generally been positive. The input
received from the meeting and the questionnaires will continue to be used and addressed throughout the
final design process should the projects be approved.
Pedestrian safety and traffic calming issues were a concern for the residents of the area. The feasibility
report proposes to address these issues by eliminating some crosswalks, accenting the proposed
crosswalk locations, and implementing traffic calming techniques where they could be most effective.
While we will continue to work on these issues through final design, recent pedestrian counts and traffic
•
Council Report 2002 -132
Page 3
speed monitoring, confirms that the placement of these improvements, as recommended in the feasibility
report, are proposed to be placed in the locations where they can be most effective and utilized.
Some residents were concerned with the placement and purpose of the sidewalk proposed to be installed
along the north side of 2hd Street North from 5 Avenue North to 6th Avenue North. Explanations of this
sidewalk segment being apart of the 2" Street North pedestrian corridor and agreement of explore all
potential placement options and work with the residents through the final design process, appeared to
satisfy the residents concerned about this issue.
Much of the discussion at the meeting and input we received focused around the truck restriction and state
aid funding issue along 5 Avenue North from Mainstreet to Minnetonka Mills Road. The main issues
surrounding this item seem to be centered around enforcement, cost, and the overall Hopkins state aid
system.
A major concern that has been expressed by the residents along 5 Avenue in relation to the state aid and
truck issue is the current lack of enforcement for the existing no truck signage and what enforcement
would be done if the segment were officially removed from the state aid system. Many residents have
stated that 5 Avenue may just as well stay state aid funded unless the truck restriction is enforced as they
feel the signage is ineffective without strict enforcement. The Hopkins Comprehensive Transportation
Plan designates 5 Avenue as a collector street and traffic volumes and corridor characteristics back up
this designation. As a result, regardless of designation or signage, it is likely that 5 Avenue will continue
to serve Hopkins in a collector capacity. In discussions with Police Chief, Craig Reed, he stated that even
if the roadway was removed from the state aid system and was legally signed for no trucks, the restriction
of trucks is "virtually unenforceable" due to legal truck exceptions (deliveries, etc.), equipment, personnel,
and response time limitations. City staff has performed both manual and automated truck counts over the
past week to determine the amount and type of trucks that currently use the 5 Avenue corridor. While the
number of trucks that could be restricted (ie. semis, tractor /trailer units, etc.) are few (less than 10 per
day), our counts confirm what the residents have stated, that many of the trucks don't follow the truck
restriction signage that is currently in place. Another common complaint received from the residents along
this corridor is that MTC often uses full sized buses instead of the small commuter buses through this
segment. Staff did a 12 -hour count (6 am to 6 pm) of all buses through the corridor on Wednesday, July
31, 2002, and found that of the approximately 30 MTC round trips through this segment during the 12 hour
period (4 full sized school buses were also counted), 2 round trips were made with large buses and the
rest were made with commuter size buses. In discussions with MTC regarding this issue, they have stated
that they only have a limited number of commuter size buses and they are often broke down, as a result,
they are forced to sometimes send out the larger buses to fulfill their scheduled routes.
Residents of the area were mixed on whether or not the cost difference of their assessments (50% vs.
70% of a standard local street assessed), based on if state aid funding could be used, mattered to them.
The results of the scenarios (state aid vs. no state aid) are a difference of approximately $600 to $1,000
for an assessment on an average 50 -foot single - family lot. Although they did understand the added
assessment savings and additional city funding received from being on a major state aid road, some
residents did feel that the City assessment policy for major roads such as this one should extend further
out than the adjoining properties and into other blocks east and west of the roadway.
The state aid designated roads are most often the major roads for most Cities (i.e. arterials and collectors).
One of the main reasons why the major roads are often designated as state aid roads is that they have a
higher volume of traffic than local roads and need to be designed to higher standards in order to handle
the traffic volume. Main collector corridors running through Cities that connect to State and County
arterials are most often the roadways designated as state aid roadways (i.e. 17 Avenue, 11 Avenue,
5 Avenue, etc.). The main way that Cities are able to pay for the additional cost of these high use
roadways is through state aid funds. Staff feels that the 5 Avenue corridor does and will continue to
•
O.
•
Council Report 2002 -132
Page 4
function as a collector road in Hopkins. As a result, we feel it is in the best interest of the residents and the
entire community to keep this entire corridor on the state aid system and make use of the state gas tax
funds that are intended to be used for roadways such as this one. It is our opinion that even if the No
Truck" signs are removed, there would not be an influx of trucks using this route that currently use other
routes.
• Costs and Assessments
The total estimated project cost is $1,320,682.73. This includes a 10% contingency and engineering/
administration costs at 25 %. Of this amount, $614,581.52 is subject to the special assessment process
based on the staff recommendation to keep 5 Avenue as a state -aid roadway. A detail of costs is found
on page 20 of the feasibility report.
The City's standard assessment policy provides for abutting property owners to be assessed 70% of actual
street reconstruction costs. However, for this project there is a wide range in preliminary assessment rates
due to the various project areas, property land use, and funding. The recommendation is to consult the
matrixes on pages 21 and 22 of the feasibility report.
• Project Budget
The CIP estimated budget for the proposed project is $780,000. While the CIP budgeted cost is
considerably lower than the estimated project cost, the CIP budget does not take into any proposed
account railroad or lighting upgrades, which are estimated to cost approximately $200,000. Staff is
confident that the estimated project costs are conservative and that the actual cost will likely be lower once
competitive bids are received early in 2003.

PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING REPORT
2003 STREET AND UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS
CITY PROJECT NO. 02 -10
SAP 132- 346 -010
HOPKINS, MINNESOTA
This report examines the proposed street and utility improvements including watermain, storm sewer,
sanitary sewer, street reconstruction, bituminous mill and overlay, trail construction, and the associated
boulevard restoration along the following streets:
• 5th Avenue from 3rd Street South to State Trunk Highway 7; and
• 2nd Street North from 6th Avenue North to 5th Avenue North.
Specifically the project involves:
1. Installation of watermain valves;
2. Replacement and improvement of storm sewer pipe and inlets and additions of new inlets
and structures;
3. Bituminous street removal and reconstruction; and concrete curb and gutter replacement;
4. Bituminous street milling and overlay;
5. Bike trail construction;
6. Sidewalk construction and repair; and
7. Turf restoration in all areas of construction.
2. BACKGROUND
This report was ordered by the City Council on May 21, 2002. Council Resolution No. 2002 -47 was
passed requesting that a study be completed analyzing the potential improvements of the streets noted
above. The improvements being considered include reconstruction of the bituminous street and concrete
curb and mill and overlays. As a part of this study existing drainage was evaluated and underground
utilities were checked for adequacy and structural integrity. The project location is shown in Figure 1.
A neighborhood meeting was held for the purposes of informing the affected property owners about the
improvements being considered and receiving their comments about problems and concerns to be

addressed. Also, a questionnaire was distributed to give the adjacent property owners the opportunity
to provide their input on various project related concerns including water and sewer services and
drainage. A copy of the questionnaire and meeting minutes are included in the Appendix.
3. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The project areas include single family, multi- family, and commercial properties. The neighborhoods
are fully developed and well established with mature trees along many of the boulevards. There are
existing sidewalks or paths along most of the streets.
3.1 Streets
The existing street widths are summarized in Table 1.
5th Avenue is classified as a collector street with a 9 ton weight limit within the project area.
The route is part of the Municipal State Aid System between Excelsior Boulevard and State
Trunk Highway 7. The City prohibits truck traffic between Mainstreet and Minnetonka Mills
Road. The street is flat to rolling in nature with a bituminous surface which is aged and
exhibits wear and distress to different degrees due to traffic loadings. This is evident on the
surface by transverse and longitudinal cracking, alligator cracking, the exposure of pavement
aggregates and minor rutting. There is evidence of previous maintenance including overlays,
seal coating, and patching. Subgrade soil strength testing and core sampling was completed
by American Engineering and Testing in June 2002 within the project areas. A summary of
the existing pavement conditions are listed in Table 1. A copy of the pavement evaluation
report is included in the Appendix.
Hopkins' pavement management system utilizes a pavement condition index (PCI) rating of
0 to 100. This rating is based on surficial pavement observations. Generally, the indices
correspond to a level of most cost effective improvement as follows: 0 -30 = pavement
reconstruction; 30 -60 = asphalt overlay; and 50 -90 = sealcoat and/or crack sealing. This
rating system assists in prioritizing roadway improvements and projecting costs for use in
the City's pavement management and capital improvements plan. Actual levels of
improvements are determined by completing a comprehensive geotechnical evaluation
(included in this report) and a preliminary engineering report.
Table 1 also itemizes California Bearing Ratios (CBR values - a measure of subgrade
strength) for each of the streets. Those street sections exhibiting an inplace CBR below 20
are considered poor structurally. Strengthening of these subgrade soils or reconstructing a
thicker pavement section is recommended for these streets if their surfaces have deteriorated
to the point that a mill and overlay or other maintenance procedures would not be cost
effective.
2003 Street and Utility Improvements, City of Hopkins
BMI Project No. T15.20896 Page 2
5th Avenue Soutlr13rd Street South to Excelsior Boulevard)
The bituminous street is delineated with concrete curb and gutter. The street is intersected
by the C.P. Railroad and the south corridor of the Hennepin County regional trail. The
existing rubberized railroad crossing shows some deterioration. The pavement condition
along this block of 5' Avenue South exhibits signs of distress including deep cracking and
edge deterioration. There is evidence of previous patch work, seal coating and crack sealing.
A driveway entrance exists on the west side of the street which serves the old Knox Lumber
site. It is across the street from a city parking lot which has no delineated driveway access.
Currently vehicles enter this parking lot by driving over the existing surmountable curb
anywhere between the Hennepin County Trail and the C.P. Railroad. The street, between
Excelsior Boulevard and the railroad, also has a vertical crest curve which peaks near the trail
crossing. This hill impedes drivers' sight lines between Excelsior boulevard and the railroad
crossing. An 8' wide bituminous trail exists along the both sides of the street. On the east
side, the trail is a continuation of the trail along 3rd Street and extends to the Hennepin
County trail crossing. The bituminous trail on the west side of the street begins just north
of the railroad crossing and extends to the Hennepin County trail crossing. The bituminous
trail on both sides of the street is aged and is exhibiting severe wear and distress. North of
the Hennepin County trail crossing, a 5.5' wide concrete walk begins on both sides of the
street. The condition of the walk is fair to good. The intersection of 5th Avenue South and
Excelsior Boulevard, a four lane divided highway, is signalized. Parking is not allowed on
either side of the street. The existing street layout is shown in Figure 4.
5th Avenue South (Excelsior Boulevard to Mainstreet)
The bituminous street is delineated with concrete curb and gutter. There is an existing
concrete sidewalk on the both sides of the street with decorative brick pavers at the
Mainstreet intersection. The width of the concrete walk on the east side of the street varies
from 5' to 8' wide. The width of the concrete walk on the west side of the street varies from
5' to 11' wide. There are a few panels of sidewalk, including some concrete driveway aprons,
which are cracked or are significantly weathered. There are also some curb segments which
have settled or have cracked, mainly along the south end of the east curb line. Overall the
curbs and sidewalks are in good condition. No parking is allowed on the either side of the
street. The Mainstreet intersection is signalized. The existing street layout is shown in
Figures 5 and 6.
5th Avenue North (Mainstreet to 1st Street North)
The bituminous street is delineated with concrete curb and gutter on the west side of the
street and concrete vertical curb with no gutter on the east side of the street. The street has
significant transverse cracking and some alligator cracking. There is evidence of prior
patching and pothole repairs as well as previous seal coating. There is an existing concrete
sidewalk on the east side of the street and there is a striped walkway on the west side of the
street along the bituminous parking lots on this side of the street. City staff has indicated that
this bituminous surfacing overlays an old concrete sidewalk. There are brick pavers at the
Mainstreet intersection. The boulevard on the east side of the street, between the curb and

sidewalk, has been paved with bituminous. The concrete sidewalk is in good condition. The
width of the walk on the east side of the street varies from 6' to 8' wide. The width of the
walk on the west side of the street is 8' wide. Parking is allowed along the east side of the
street and is not allowed on the west side of the street. The existing street layout is shown
in Figure 6.
5th Avenue North (1st Street North to 2nd Street North)
The bituminous street is delineated with concrete curb and gutter on the west side of the
street and concrete vertical curb with no gutter on the east side of the street. The street
exhibits transverse, longitudinal, and alligator cracking. The vertical curb on the east side
has not facilitated drainage, thus this pavement edge has also deteriorated. Prior
maintenance, including patching and seal coating, has been completed along this roadway.
There is an existing 6' wide concrete sidewalk on the both sides of the street. Overall, the
walks are in good condition. However, there are panels of walk and some concrete driveway
aprons that are cracked or broken. Crosswalks are currently striped on the north and south
sides of the 2n Street North intersection. Parking is allowed along both sides of the street.
The existing street layout is shown in Figure 7.
5th Avenue North (2 "`' Street North. to Minnetonka Mills Road)
The bituminous street is delineated with concrete curb and gutter on the west side of the
street and concrete vertical curb with no gutter on the east side of the street. The street has
some transverse cracking and shows some evidence of patching, pot repairs, and seal coating.
There is an existing concrete sidewalk on the both sides of the street. The width of the
concrete walk on the east side of the street varies from 6' to 8' wide. The width of the
concrete walk on the west side of the street is 6' wide. Most of the sidewalks and driveway
aprons are in good condition. Some segments of the vertical curb with no gutter on the east
side have sunk. The concrete curb and gutter on the west side of the road is in good
condition. Parking is allowed along both sides of the street. The intersection of 5th Avenue
North and Minnetonka Mills Road is a signalized intersection. The existing street layout is
shown in Figure 8.
5111 Avenue North (Minnetonka Mills Road to State Trunk Highway 7)
The bituminous street is delineated with a raised bituminous trail on the west side of the
street and concrete vertical curb on the east side of the street. The pavement has some
cracking and a significant number of patches. Because of the poor drainage along the east
side vertical curb, there are areas of edge deterioration and sunken curb. The west edge of
the road, just south of Trunk Highway 7, has no curb and has also deteriorated. Drainage
along this edge currently runs off the road into a ditch which flows north to the highway
intersection. There is an existing 6' wide concrete sidewalk on the east side of the street that
begins at Minnetonka Mills Road and ends before Wayside Road; there is no trail or walk
that extends north to T.H.7.. Most of the walk is in good condition. However, there are some
adjacent driveway aprons which have cracked or weathered significantly. On the west side
of the street there is a bituminous trail which varies in width from 6' to 9'. It appears, and

City staff has suggested, that this bituminous trail overlays old concrete walk and perhaps
curb as well. It is raised between two and six inches above the adjacent street and regularly
serves as additional street width for parked cars. The trail is aged and is exhibiting wear and
distress. There is a gap in the bituminous trail to allow for a right turn lane into the Mizpah
Church and Rosewood Apartments parking lot. A crosswalk currently exists at the
intersection of 5th Avenue North and Wayside Road. Parking is allowed along both sides
of the street. The intersection of 5th Avenue North and Trunk Highway 7 is signalized. The
existing street layout is shown in Figures 9 and 10.
2nd Street North (6th Avenune North to 5th Avenue North)
2nd Street North is presently classified as a local residential street with a 7 ton weight Iimit
within the project area. The street has moderate grade with bituminous surfacing and is
delineated with concrete curb and gutter on both sides of the street. The pavement shows
severe distress including transverse and alligator cracking. There is evidence of previous
maintenance including overlays, seal coating and patching. There is no trail or sidewalk on
either side of the street. Parking is allowed on both sides of the street. The existing street
layout is shown in Figure 1 1.

3.2 Watermain
Research of the available as -built information and a meeting with the water /sewer
department staff helped define the existing alignment and conditions of the watermain as
well as gain an understanding of what improvements are necessary within the project areas.
All of the watermain in the project area is cast iron pipe and is anticipated to have lead joints.
Service lines within these areas are typically 3/4" and their materials may be copper, steel,
or lead. Overall, each service line exposed as a part of any watermain improvement project
should be considered for replacement based on its material type, age, and condition. The
existing watermain systems are illustrated in Figures 4 -11.
5th Avenue South (3rd Street South to Excelsior Boulevard)
The watermain presently serving this segment of 5th Avenue South consists of a 6" pipe
which runs along the west side of the street and then crosses through the center of the
intersection of 5th Avenue South and Excelsior Boulevard. There is also a 16" main which
crosses 5th Avenue South just north of the 3rd Street South intersection. This 16" main
makes a 90 degree bend and then runs along the west side of the street until it makes another
90 degree near the Knox Lumber entrance and then heads west. Figure 4 illustrates the
existing watermain.
5th Avenue South (Excelsior Boulevard to Mainstreet)
The watermain presently serving this segment of 5th Avenue South consists of a 6" pipe
which runs along the west side of the street; approximately 200' south of Mainstreet, the pipe
bends and runs along the east side of the street. Approximately 100' north of Excelsior
Boulevard there is a 6" pipe extending off of the main to the east. Approximately 200' north
of Excelsior Boulevard there is a 6" pipe extending off of the main to the west. Currently
two hydrants extend from the watermain along this block. Figures 5 and 6 illustrates the
existing watermain.

3.3 Sanitary Sewer
The existing condition of the sanitary sewer system was acquired from as -built information,
sewer video tapes, the City's Sanitary Sewer Utility MasterPlan, as well as discussions with staff
from the water /sewer department. The Sanitary Sewer Utility Master Plan states that there is a
problem area between 1st Street North and Minnetonka Mills Road. City staff has indicated that
this is not an area of concern. The service lines within the area are 4 "- 6" vitrified clay or
orangeberg pipe. The existing sanitary sewer systems are illustrated in Figures 4 -11.
5th Avenue South (3rd Street South to Excelsior Boulevard)
The sanitary sewer presently serving this segment of 5th Avenue South consists of two 14"
pipes, one of which is a sanitary forcemain located on the west edge of the street. The other
2003 Street and Utility Improvements, City of Hopkins
BMI Project No. T15.20896 Page 7
is located farther to the west. Both of these pipes intersect a 24" east -west crossing at the
intersection of 5th Avenue and Excelsior Boulevard. There also is an east west crossing at
the Knox Lumber entrance. The size of this pipe is unknown. Currently there is no
information to indicate the condition of any of the sanitary sewer along this section of 5th
Avenue South. The City is proceeding to have this section televised to determine if any
improvements are necessary. Staff from the sewer department has indicated no concerns or
service calls for this area. Figure 4 illustrates the existing sanitary sewer system.
5th Avenue South (Excelsior Boulevard to Mainstreet)
The sanitary sewer presently serving this segment of 5th Avenue South consists of 8"
vitrified clay pipe which flows south. The sanitary sewer video logs revealed mineral
deposits in the pipe and some minor cracks in the joints. The logs also indicate that minor
roots are present in the joints. There is also evidence of minor sags. There is an 8" crossing
approximately 180' from the intersection of Sth Avenue and Excelsior Boulevard. There is
also an 8" pipe coming in from the west just north of the intersection with Excelsior
Boulevard. Staff from the sewer department has indicated no concerns or service calls for
this area. Figure 5 illustrates the existing sanitary sewer system.
5th Avenue North ( Mainstreet to 1st Street North)
The sanitary sewer presently serving this segment of 5th Avenue North consists of 8"
vitrified clay pipe which flows south. Televised recordings of the existing pipe revealed
mineral deposits in the pipe and some minor cracking in the joints. The sewer logs also
indicate a few minor sags and minor roots in the pipe. Information for the short section of
sanitary sewer near the intersection of Sth Avenue North and Mainstreet was not available
and therefore its condition is not known. The City is proceeding to have this section
televised to determine if any improvements are necessary. Staff from the sewer department
has indicated no concerns or service calls for this area. Figure 6 illustrates the existing
sanitary sewer system.
5th Avenue North (1st Street North to 2nd Street North)
The sanitary sewer presently serving this segment of 5th Avenue North consists of 8"
vitrified clay pipe which flows south. The sanitary sewer video logs revealed mineral

5th Avenue North (Minnetonka Mills Road to State Trunk Hi,thwav 7)
The sanitary sewer presently serving this segment of 5th Avenue North consists of 8"
vitrified clay pipe which flows south. The sanitary sewer video logs revealed some minor
cracks in the joints. The logs also indicate that minor roots are present in the joints and
services including a root which impeded the movement of the camera through the pipe.
There is also evidence of a several minor sags and a mineral deposit. Information for the
short section of sanitary sewer near the intersection of 5th Avenue North and Wayside Road
was not available and therefore its condition is not known. The City is proceeding to have
this section televised to determine if any improvements are necessary. Staff from the sewer
department has indicated that the invert of the existing sanitary manhole at the Minnetonka
Mills intersection is in need of improvements to facilitate flows through this structure.
Figures 9 and 10 illustrates the existing sanitary sewer system.
2nd Street North (6th Avenune North to 5th Avenue North)
Currently there is no existing sanitary sewer pipe along this segment of 2nd Street North.
3.4 Storm Sewer
The existing condition of the storm sewer system was determined from as -built information and
discussions with City staff. The assessment of the existing storm sewer revealed few problems.
However, modifications and extensions of the existing system are recommended later in this
report to compliment proposed street improvements. The existing storm sewer systems are
illustrated in Figures 4 -11.
5th Avenue South (3rd Street South to Excelsior Boulevard)
Storm sewer along this block of 5` Avenue South includes catch basins located at the
Excelsior Boulevard intersection, at the railroad intersection, and at the 3r Street South
intersection. Storm water entering these catch basins ultimately flow south to 3" Street
South, then east along 3' Street South. Some of this storm sewer was constructed as part of
recent improvements at the 3 Street South intersection. There are no evident or reported
drainage problems associated with this storm sewer.
5th Avenue South (Excelsior Boulevard to Mainstreet)
Two catch basins are located approximately 250' north of Excelsior Boulevard. Current as-
builts show that runoff collected in each of these catch basins drains into a pipe that flows
into the culvert located just north of Excelsior Boulevard. This configuration will be verified
and any necessary improvements to the storm sewer in this area will be incorporated into the
final design. There is a catch basin located in the parking lot on the west side of the street.
It drams into a catch basin on the west side of 5th Avenue and then continues to flow east

to a catch basin located approximately 80' north of the intersection. From this point, the
system flows south into the Excelsior Boulevard system.
Two catch basins are located approximately 100' south of Mainstreet. There are also two
catch basins located at the southeast and southwest corners of the Mainstreet intersection.
Runoff from all of these catch basins drains to a manhole in the center of Mainstreet, which
then drains west via a 15" pipe running down the center of Mainstreet.
5th. Avenue North (Mainstreet to 1st Street North)
One catch basin is located in the parking lot of the car dealership on the east side of the
street. Drainage from this catch basin flows into another catch basin located on the east of
side of 5th Avenue approximately 25' north of Mainstreet. This runoff drains into the
manhole in the center of Mainstreet. There is also another catch basin located in the
northwest quadrant of the Mainstreet intersection which drains into the same manhole.
Runoff then drains west via a 15" pipe running down the center of Mainstreet. City staff has
expressed concern that the inlet capacity is not being met in this intersection. Inlet and pipe
capacities will be verified during final design, and any necessary improvements to the storm
sewer in this area will be incorporated into the design.
A catch basin is also located in the northeast quadrant of the intersection. Runoff from this
catch basin drains to a manhole in the center of Mainstreet, then drains west via a 15" pipe
running clown the center of Mainstreet.
5th Avenue North (1st Street North to 2nd Street North)
Currently there is no existing storm sewer along this segment of 5th Avenue North. Runoff
flows overland to the south to 1st Street North, where it then runs south towards Mainstreet,
as well as to the east along 1st Street North.
5th Avenue North (2" Street North to Minnetonka Mills Road)
There is a catch basin located at each of the corners at 5th Avenue North and Minnetonka
Mills Road. Runoff collected from these catch basins flows into a 12" pipe which flows
northwest along Minnetonka Mills Road. City staff has indicated, and as -built information
has confirmed, that this 12" pipe is relatively flat and requires frequent maintenance to keep
the line clean. Additionally, the existing catch basins and network of pipes within the
Minnetonka Mills intersection have deteriorated to the point that they should be replaced.
5th Avenue North (Minnetonka Mills Road to State Trunk Highway 7)
Currently there is no existing storm sewer pipe along this segment of 5th Avenue North.
There is a high point in the road approximately midway between Minnetonka Mills
Boulevard and Trunk Highway 7. From this high point, runoff flows south overland to the
existing catch basins at the intersection of 5th Avenue North and Minnetonka Mills Road.
Runoff also flows north from the high point overland to a low point just south of Wayside

Currently there is no existing storm sewer pipe along this segment of 2nd Street North.
Runoff flows overland to the east to 5th Avenue North, where it runs south towards
Mainstreet.
4. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
4.1 Bituminous Streets
5th Avenue from 3rd Street South to State Trunk Highway 7 and 2nd Street North from 6th
Avenue North to 5th Avenue North are scheduled for improvements in accordance with the City
of Hopkins proposed Capital Improvement Plan. Table 2 describes the proposed street
improvements. Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the proposed street sections and summarize the levels
of improvement recommended for each street within the project area.
5th Avenue South (3rd Street South to Excelsior Boulevard)
The underlying aggregate base and subgrade layers along this portion of 5th Avenue South
consist of suitable soils. However, the bituminous pavement is in need of reinforcement.
From 3rd Street South to the C.P. Railroad, the street will be milled to a depth of 3 inches
and fortified with a 3 inch bituminous overlay. By preserving the existing curb lines along
this segment, the new vertical alignment will approximate the inplace alignment. A new
concrete railroad crossing is being considered to replace the existing rubberized and
bituminous crossings. The segment from the C.P. Railroad to Excelsior Boulevard will be
reconstructed. The existing vertical curve along this segment will be reduced to improve
sight lines; the road will be lowered 2' to 3' at the highest point of the vertical curve. New
curb and gutter will be placed along all of the east side and through the reconstruction area
on the west side of this segment of 5th Avenue South. A new concrete apron, defining an
entrance to the parking lot on the east side of the road, will be constructed directly across
from the existing Knox Lumber driveway entrance.
The bituminous trail on the east side of 5th Avenue South will be reconstructed as an 8' trail
from 3rd Street South to the Hennepin County regional trail. Concrete walk will be replaced
at the intersection of Excelsior Boulevard. The existing bituminous trail along the west side
of the street between the Knox Lumber driveway and 3 " Street South will be removed, given
its lack of connection to any other pedestrian way.
5th Avenue South (Excelsior Boulevard to Mainstreet)
The overlying bituminous pavement along this block of 5th Avenue South is in need of
reinforcement. Therefore, the street will be milled to a depth of 3 inches and fortified with

a 3 inch bituminous overlay. By preserving the existing curb lines along this segment, the
new vertical alignment will approximate the inplace alignment. The south half of the east
curb line will be replaced due to its poor condition. Remaining curb and gutter on both the
west and east sides will be spot replaced as necessary.
In order to extend the Mainstreet decor down 5 Avenue South to Excelsior Boulevard,
streetscaping elements including brick pavers, trees with cast iron grates, benches and trash
receptacles, and decorative street lighting are proposed along this block. In summary, these
improvements would be similar to those recently implemented along 8 Avenue South
between Mainstreet and First Street South. These streetscape improvements are illustrated
in Figures 13 and 14. Decorative brick pavers will be installed between the curb and
sidewalk along the east side of the street. Alongside the apartment building parking lot on
the west side of the street, there is an open space with a few existing trees. A decorative park
bench and trash receptacle on a new concrete pad are proposed in this area. Closer to the
north end of this block, additional trees, including decorative tree grates, are proposed to be
installed to soften the boulevards adjacent to the commercial properties. Finally, decorative
street lighting similar to the acorn style used along Mainstreet is proposed to be installed by
Xcel Energy.
5th Avenue North ( Mainstreet to 1st Street North)
The results of the soils and pavement testing indicate that the street section along 5th Avenue
North between Mainstreet and 1st Street North is underlain with fill containing mostly sand
with silt and gravel. The condition of the roadway has reached a point where maintenance
procedures such as seal coating or milling and overlaying are no longer cost effective.
Furthermore, the lack of an adequate curb and gutter system continues to promote drainage
problems along this segment. Therefore reconstruction of this street is recommended. The
recommended pavement section is 11 inches thick and includes a 5" bituminous pavement
and 6" aggregate base. Local soft, unstable areas will be excavated and replaced with select
granular material as they are encountered during construction. New curb and gutter will be
placed along the east side of this block, and curb and gutter that is severely damaged or
sunken on the west side of the street will be replaced as necessary.
New concrete walk will be constructed on the west side of 5th Avenue North in place of the
existing striped bituminous pavement. The existing concrete walk on the east side of the
street will be widened to the back of the curb, replacing the existing bituminous shoulder
with exposed aggregate concrete. Several trees will also be planted in tree grates along the
west side of the street.
5th. Avenue North (1st Street North to 2nd Street North)
The results of the soils and pavement testing indicate that the street section along 5th Avenue
North between 1st Street North and 2nd Street North is underlain mostly with lean clay with
sand as well as sand with gravel. The condition of the roadway has reached a point where
maintenance procedures such as seal coating or milling and overlaying are no longer cost

effective. Furthermore, the lack of an adequate curb and gutter system continues to promote
drainage problems along this segment. Therefore, reconstruction of this street is
recommended. The recommended pavement section is 11 inches thick and includes a 5"
bituminous pavement and 6" aggregate base. Local soft, unstable areas will be excavated and
replaced with select granular material as they are encountered during construction. New curb
and gutter will be placed along the east side of this segment of 5th Avenue North, and curb
and gutter that is severely damaged or sunken on the west side of the street will be replaced
as necessary. Individual panels of sidewalk and concrete driveway aprons which are found
to be cracked, broken, or otherwise deficient will be repaired or replaced. Curb bumpouts
are proposed for the north crosswalk at the 5th Avenue North and 2nd Street North
intersection to facilitate visibility between pedestrians and drivers and to shorten the length
of the crosswalk. The south crosswalk at this intersection will then be eliminated.
5th Avenue North (2 "` Street North to Minnetonka Mills Road)
The underlying aggregate base and subgrade layers along this portion of 5th Avenue North
are in acceptable condition. However, the bituminous pavement is in need of reinforcement.
The street will be milled to a depth of 3 inches and fortified with a 3 inch bituminous
overlay. New curb and gutter will be constructed along the east side of this segment of 5th
Avenue North and along the west side from 3rd Street North to Minnetonka Mills Road; curb
and gutter that is severely damaged or sunken on the west side of the street between 2nd
Street North and 3rd Street North will be replaced as necessary.
5th Avenue North (Minnetonka Mills Road to State Trunk Highway 7)
The underlying aggregate base and subgrade layers along this portion of 5th Avenue North
are in acceptable condition. However, the bituminous pavement is in need of reinforcement.
The street will be milled to a depth of 3 inches and fortified with a 3 inch bituminous
overlay. The new vertical alignment will approximate the inplace alignment. The existing
vertical curb on each side of the roadway will be removed and replaced with new concrete
curb and gutter. Additionally, concrete curb and gutter will be constructed along the west
edge of the roadway between Trunk Highway 7 and the Mizpah Church and Rosewood
Apartments parking lot. Currently this roadway edge is not protected by curb and gutter.
The existing bituminous trail along the west of this block will be replaced with a new
concrete sidewalk constructed directly behind the new concrete curb and gutter. The existing
sidewalk on the east side of the roadway, which terminates approximately mid - block, will
be extended north to Trunk Highway 7. The proposed sidewalk extension will eliminate the
need for a pedestrian crosswalk at Wayside Road. Pedestrians will be able to cross 5th
Avenue North at Trunk Highway 7 or Minnetonka Mills Road, both of which are controlled
intersections and will have pedestrian crosswalks.
2nd Street North (6th Aventine North to 5th Avenue North)
The results of the soils and pavement testing indicate that the street section along 2th Street
North between 6th Avenue North and 5th Avenue North is underlain will fill containing

mostly with silty sand as well as sand with gravel.The condition of the roadway has reached
a point where maintenance procedures such as seal coating or milling and overlaying are no
longer cost effective. Therefore reconstruction of this street is recommended. The
recommended pavement section is 9.5 inches thick and includes a 3.5" bituminous pavement
and 6" aggregate base. Local soft, unstable areas will be excavated and replaced with select
granular material as they are encountered during construction. This proposed pavement
section is typical for streets within the City with similar subgrade soils and traffic loadings.
Curb and gutter that is severely damaged or sunken will be replaced as necessary.
A concrete walk will be constructed on the north side of 2nd Street North. Concrete walk
currently exists on the north side of 2nd Street North from 12th Avenue North to 6th Avenue
North; the proposed walk will complete the pedestrian walkway between 5th and 12th
Avenues North.
A summary of the proposed pavement sections and street widths are described in Table 2
below. Figures 2 and 3 in the Appendix illustrate the typical cross- sections.

4.2 Watermain
The main water lines currently serving the project areas have been deemed adequate. However,
City staff has requested some minor improvements; these recommendations are detailed below.
Due to the relative age of the existing water service lines, it is recommended that any service
lines exposed as a part of these street and utility improvements be individually evaluated and
considered for replacement. Any exposed lead service pipes would be required to be replaced
by the Minnesota Department of Health. Repairs or replacements of existing water service lines
would be 100% assessable to the corresponding property owners. Proposed watermain
improvements are illustrated in Figures 12 -19.
5th Avenue South (3rd Street South to Excelsior Boulevard)
No watermain improvements are being recommended along this segment of 5th Avenue
South.

No watermain improvements are being recommended along this segment of 2nd Street North.
4.3 Sanitary Sewer
The information used to evaluate the sanitary sewer's existing conditions included televised
recordings of the sewers, as built information, manhole reports, and discussions with the City
staff.
Cracked joints are not uncommon in vitrified clay pipe, nor are they necessarily candidates for
repair or replacement. Those cracks which are wider than hair -line or are plagued with roots or
mineral deposits, however, have a higher potential for infiltration and should be repaired. Major
sags and flow obstructions such as roots will decrease the capacity of a sewer pipe and may result
in backup problems. Because there is little documentation of these types of problems and City
staff has indicated that there is no recent service problem history within these project areas, no
sewer pipe improvements are recommended at this time. It is recommended, however, that
typical maintenance procedures such as jetting and root cutting be continued as necessary along
these sewer lines.
Due to the relative age of the existing service lines, it is recommended that any service lines
exposed as a part of these street and utility improvements be individually evaluated and
considered for replacement. Any repair or replacement of existing sanitary service lines would
be 100% assessable to the corresponding property owner.
Some of the existing sanitary sewer manhole castings may have a smaller diameter. If any of
these are encountered during construction they will be replaced with larger castings to improve
safety and accessibility for maintenance workers when entering the structures.
5th Avenue South (3rd Street South to Excelsior Boulevard)

Minnetonka Mills intersection. The pipe connecting the catch basins will be reconfigured to
improve the system. The existing pipe flowing northwest along Minnetonka Mills Road out
of the existing manhole is relatively flat. The proposed catch basins in the intersection will
be set at elevations that will allow the replacement of this 12" pipe along Minnetonka Mills
to be reconstructed at a steeper grade in the future. The extent of storm sewer improvements
for this project is limited to the intersection only. Proposed improvements are illustrated in
Figure 17.
5th. Avenue North (Minnetonka Mills Road to State Trunk Highway 7)
Currently there is no curb and gutter along the west side of 5th Avenue North, and water is
able to flow directly into the ditch along the west side of the road. With the addition of curb
and gutter, two catch basins are proposed along the west side of 5th Avenue North to capture
this flow. Runoff from these catch basins would then outlet approximately 100' south of T.H.
7 into the existing ditch. Proposed improvements are illustrated in Figure 18.
2nd Street North (6th Avenue North to 5th Avenue North)
No storm sewer improvements are being recommended along this segment of 2nd Street
North.
4.5 Sidewalks
Bituminous trail and concrete sidewalk improvements will be made in accordance with
section 4.1 of this report. Additionally, individual sidewalk or driveway panels which are
severly cracked, heaving, or otherwise pose a danger to pedestrians will be replaced. Private
sidewalks leading from individual homes to the street will be removed and replaced as
necessary to facilitate the street improvements.
4.6 Driveway Aprons
Any existing driveway aprons along 5` Avenue and 2nd Street North will be replaced with
new concrete aprons as necessary to match the existing driveways to the new street grades.

BMI Project No. T15.20896 Page 18
4.7 Lawn Sprinkler Systems
There may be existing lawn sprinkler systems along the roadways scheduled for
reconstruction. The adjacent property owners will need to assist in locating and identifying
the types of sprinkler systems that are in place. The contractor will be required to make
every effort to preserve the inplace systems during construction.
4.8 Street Signing and Striping
The existing street signing, including stop signs and street name signs, will be removed and
reinstalled by the contractor as necessary. The existing street striping will be restriped by the
contractor when the project has been completed. Pedestrian crosswalks will be removed and
replaced as discussed earlier in section 4.1 of this report.
4.9 Turf Restoration
The existing trees will be protected from the construction as much as possible. In the event
a tree removal is necessary due to street grade changes or otherwise, they will be replaced.
The areas disturbed by the construction will be re- graded to match the new street grades and
restored with boulevard type sod. Boulevards will be regraded as necessary to facilitate
sidewalk drainage.
4.10 Municipal State Aid System) Truck Route Designations
Currently, 5 Avenue is designated as a Municipal State Aid (MSA) Route between 3rd
Street South and Trunk Highway 7. However, the City of Hopkins has signed 5` Avenue,
from Mainstreet to Minnetonka Mills Road, with truck restrictions. Under State Aid
Operations Chapter 8820, permanent truck restrictions are not allowed on MSA routes. In
conjunction with the improvements scheduled for 5' Avenue, the City should consider
whether or not to keep this roadway on its MSA system. It should be noted that given its
function as a collector roadway within the City of Hopkins, the designed pavement strength
of this street will be the same, regardless of its designation as a State Aid street and
regardless of any designated truck restrictions.
5. ESTIMATED COSTS
Estimated construction costs presented below include a 10 percent contingency factor. Overhead costs,
estimated at 25 percent, include legal, engineering, administrative and fiscal costs. Final costs and
assessments will be determined by using actual construction costs of the proposed work.

Proposed construction costs for the 2003 Street and Utility Improvements (including bituminous street,
storm sewer, watcrmain, and turf restoration) are itemized in the tables located in Appendix A and are
summarized below. These cost estimates are based upon public construction cost information. Since
the consultant has no control over the cost of labor, materials, competitive bidding process, weather
conditions and other factors affecting the cost of construction, all cost estimates are opinions for general
information of the client and no warranty or guarantee as to the accuracy of construction cost estimates
is made. It is recommended that costs for project financing should be based upon actual, competitive
bid prices with reasonable contingencies.
W Total costs not including contingencies, engineering and administration.

6. ASSESSMENT RATES
The street improvements proposed for 5th Avenue and 2nd Street North are eligible for assessments
according to the City of Hopkins assessment policy.
According to the policy, 2" Street North between 5' and 6 Avenues North is considered a local
roadway, and its improvements shall be assessed at a rate of 70% to the benefitting properties.
Benefitting properties include those lots adjacent to this block of 2° Street North, those lots along the
east side of 6` Avenue North between ls` and 3 rd Streets North, and those lots along the west side of 5th
Avenue North between lst and 3r Streets North.
5''' Avenue between 3rd Street South and Trunk Highway 7 is classified as a major roadway within the
City of Hopkins. This street is also currently classified as a Municipal State Aid Street between 3rd
Street South and Trunk Highway 7, making it eligible for state - funded subsidies if it is constructed and
operated according to State Aid Rules. According to the City's policy, assessments can vary depending
on the classification of the roadway and between residential and commercial properties. The following
table summarizes the applicable assessment rate percentages based on these variables, according to the
policy.
Note that the table references standard local roadway costs associated with the major roadway. This cost
is determined by reducing the actual costs of the major roadway. This reduction is based on the narrower
roadway width and thinner pavement section typically used along local roadways. Where applicable,
the Assessable Costs in the estimated assessments table reflect these reduced costs.
The following assessment rates were checked against the City's assessment cap policy. The assessment
cap does not apply to these rates.

GEOTECHNICAL EXPLORATION AND REVIEW FOR
2003 STREET /UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS
5 AVENUE
HOPKINS, MINNESOTA
AET JOB NO. 01 -01274
SUMMARY
Purpose
Street improvements are planned along 5 Avenue and a small portion of 2' Street in
Hopkins, Minnesota. The purpose of our work on this project is to explore subsurface
conditions and provide geotechnical engineering recommendations to assist you and your
project team in planning, design, and construction.
Scope
To accomplish the above purpose, you have authorized our firm to drill nine test borings at the
site, conduct soil laboratory testing, and prepare this geotechnical engineering report.
Findings
In general, the subsurface profile encountered at the boring locations consists of bituminous
pavement and fill over coarse alluvial sandy soils and then glacial till. Ground water was not
encountered within any of the boreholes during drilling. At many of the borehole locations,
the existing pavement was rather thick (91/2" to 111/2"), and a distinct aggregate base layer was
not discernable. In the remaining borings, the existing pavement ranged from 4" to 51/2" in
thickness. A layer of highly weathered bituminous material was encountered below the
pavement at two of these locations. Again, no distinct aggregate base layer was observed.
Most of the subgrade soils at this site are granular; however, some layers of clayey material
are present within the upper (and more critical) portion of the soil profile.
Recommendations
These recommendations are condensed for your convenience. Please study our entire report
for detailed recommendations.
• Some layers of frost susceptible and slow draining soils are present in the upper portion
of the soil profile across the entire site. Removal and replacement of these soils would
be needed in order to improve the frost and drainage characteristics of the subgrade.
This subgrade improvement may be more feasible in some areas of the site than in
others.
• In the project areas where rather thick bituminous layers currently exist and no grade
changes are anticipated, a deep (3") mill and overlay should be a reasonable approach.
Care should be taken to seal cracks within the existing pavement, and selective soil
correction may be needed in distressed areas.
• We must caution that the mill and overlay approach does include the likelihood that the
existing cracks and distress will become visible in the new pavement over time
(reflection cracking). However, the system will have structural integrity (sufficient
G.E.).
• In the areas of the site where the existing pavements are rather thin, it is our opinion
that reconstruction of the pavements is prudent. It appears that many of the subgrade
soils in these areas consist of granular material. However, some clayey layers are
present in the upper portion of the subgrade, and it is our opinion that the use of a sand
subbase should be considered in these areas.
• A drained sand subbase should create a more uniform subgrade for the new pavements
and improve the frost /drainage characteristics of the subgrade. A sand subbase should
be placed where the subgrade soils do not meet a Granular Borrow specification (per
MnIDOT Specification 3149.2B1). This specification requires soils contain less than
20% by weight passing the #200 sieve.
• The thickness of the sand subbase needed will depend on the soils present. At this site,
using a sand subbase of 1' to 1'/2' in thickness can increase the subgrade R -value used
for pavement design from 20 up to 50, resulting in thinner pavement sections.

INTRODUCTION
AET Job No. 01 -01274 — Page 3 of 19
This report presents the results of a subsurface exploration program and geotechnical
engineering review for the proposed street and utility improvements along 5 Avenue in
Hopkins, Minnesota.
To protect you, American Engineering Testing, Inc. (AET), and the public, we authorized use of opinions
and recommendations in this report only by you and your project team for this specific project. Contact us
if other uses are intended. Even though this report is not intended to provide sufficient information to
accurately determine quantities and locations of particular materials, we recommend that your potential
contractors be advised of the report availability.
Scope of Services
The scope of our work was outlined in our May 30, 2002 proposal, which was authorized by
you on June 5, 2002. The authorized work scope includes the following:
• Drill nine flight auger test borings to depths of 15' below the surface.
• Perform laboratory index testing of soils samples to determine engineering properties.
• Conduct a geotechnical engineering analysis and prepare this report.
The scope of our work is intended for geotechnical purposes only. This scope is not intended to explore
for the presence or extent of environmental contamination at the site or provide opinions regarding the
status of the site relative to "wetland" definitions.
PROJECT INFORMATION
Street and utility improvements are proposed for the portion of 5th Avenue located north of
Highway 3 and south of Highway 7 in Hopkins, Minnesota. A section of 2' Street North,
from 5 Avenue to 6 Avenue is also included in the project. Specific reconstruction plans are
not yet established for the project. We understand the purpose of this work is to assist in the
preliminary engineering and feasibility report phase of this project. Pavement design
alternatives may include thin mill and overlay, deep mill and overlay, complete reconstruction,
and partial reconstruction.

Based on the information provided, pavement rehabilitation for the 5 Avenue section is based
on a 9 -ton design. We understand the roadway ranges in width from 40' to 48' over the
project area. This road is classified as a collector street with 2001 ADT's ranging from 4363
to 7509 (assumed 2 -way). We understand the portion of 5 Avenue located south of Highway
3 services significant volumes of heavy commercial vehicles, due to the SuperValu warehouse
located nearby. We have assumed that the HCADT for this portion of the street is greater
than 1100.
We understand the 2" Street section is based on a 7 -ton capacity and is classified as a local
street. No ADT values were provided for this section. However, we have assumed a 2 -way
ADT of 2500. The 2nd Street section is 35' wide.
Most of the rehabilitation planned will not include any grade changes. However, 5 Avenue
will be flattened in the area of Boring 2. We understand grade in this area will be lowered
about 2' to 3'.
Pavement condition index (PCI) values were provided for each section of the two streets in
question. The PCI value for 5 Avenue south of Highway 3 was 42. Between Highway 3 and
3` Street North, the PCI values ranged from 47 to 71. North of 3' Street, the PCI values
ranged from 88 to 90. The PCI value provided for 2' Street was 16. We understand the PCI
values are taken from a survey conducted in May of 2000.
In addition, we were provided with a summary of nondestructive testing results that were
conducted in 1994. This information included Structural Adequacy Ratios (SAR) for each
block of the two roadways in question. The SAR values for 5 Avenue, south of Main Street,
ranged from 1.38 to 3.16. Between Main Street and Minnetonka Mills Road, the SAR values
for 5 Avenue ranged from 0.66 to 0.95. These values increased to 1.72 and 1.73 north of
Minnetonka Mills Road. An SAR value of 0.94 was given for 2n Street. It should be noted
that an SAR value of 1.0 indicates the section is structurally adequate for the traffic and
loading levels at the time of testing.
We have not been provided with the details of possible utility installation to be associated with
the street reconstruction work. We assume that if utilities are included, the amount is minimal
and the utilities will be shallow. This report provides standard recommendation sheets for
utility installation, but it is primarily intended for street reconstruction.
The presented project information represents our understanding of the proposed construction. This
information is an integral part of our engineering review. It is important that you contact us if there are
changes from that described, so that we can evaluate whether changes in our recommendations arc
appropriate.
SITE CONDITIONS
AET Job No. 01 -01274 Page 5 of 19
Surface /Existing Pavement Conditions
The project area has about 20' to 25' of relief. Surface elevations ranged from 918.6 at
Boring 1 up to 939.4 at Boring 9. Two low areas at the site include the intersection of 5
Avenue with 3r Street South and then again at Minnetonka Mills Road. High spots include
the intersection of 5 Avenue with 2nd Street and also with Highway 7.
Bituminous pavement was encountered at the surface at each of the boring locations. In the
southern portion of the site the existing pavement ranged from 101/4" to 111/2" thick. The
pavement thickness decreased in central site areas, where it ranged from 4" to 5 The
existing bituminous ranged from 9 to 11 in thickness in northern site areas. In general,
no distinct aggregate base layer was encountered below the pavement. In two of the borings
located in the central portion of the site, a layer of highly weathered bituminous pavement was
observed below the existing pavement. This layer ranged from about 11/2" to 4" in thickness.
Subsurface Soils /Geology
Logs of the test borings are included in Appendix A. The logs contain information concerning
soil layering, soil classification, geologic description, and moisture.
The boring logs only indicate the subsurface conditions at the sampled locations. Variations often occur
between and beyond borings.
AET .lob No. OI -01274 — Page 6 of 19
Native geology at the site includes alluvium (soil deposited by water) over glacially deposited
till soils. The alluvium consists predominantly of coarse alluvial sandy soils, but also includes
mixed alluvial sandy lean clay at one location. The glacial till at this site consists of sandy
lean clay, clayey sand, and silty sand.
Existing fill is often present above the alluvium. The fill soils include sandy lean clay, clayey
sand, silty sand, sand with silt, and sand. Clayey topsoil is present below the fill at two of the
boring locations.
Water Level Measurements
The boreholes were probed for the presence of ground water, and water level measurements
were taken. The measurements are recorded on the boring logs. A discussion of the water
level measurement methods is presented in the SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION section of
this report.
Ground water levels usually fluctuate. Fluctuations occur due to varying seasonal and yearly rainfall and
snow melt, as well as other factors.
A water level was not encountered in any of the boreholes during drilling. In addition, none of
the soils sampled were significantly wet or waterbearing. In our judgment, the ground water
level at this site is likely below the depth explored by the borings. Although not encountered in
our borings, perched water conditions can develop where faster draining sandy soils overly
slower draining clayey materials.
GEOTECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
The following geotechnical considerations are the basis for the recommendations presented
later in this report. In addition, we refer you to the attached standard sheet entitled
"Bituminous Pavement Subgrade Preparation and Design" for further information on subgrade
strength and frost /drainage needs.
Review of Soil Properties
AET Job No. 01 -01274 — Page 7 of 19
Strength /Stability
A high level of strength/stability is needed from the upper 21/2' to 3' of the subgrade to resist
yielding from wheel loads. Allowing for bituminous and base, this would generally refer to
the upper 31/2' to 4' of the profile show on the boring logs. Based on sample review and
moisture content determinations, Borings 3 and 5 appear to have unstable soils within this
described zone. The clayey sands present in the upper portion of Boring 2 are also potentially
unstable. The topsoil and clayey materials in Borings 8 and 9 may also be unstable, although
they are located below a depth of about 4'. These judgments are based on the relatively high
water content of the clayey soils versus their estimated optimum water content.
Please note that conditions will likely vary throughout the site, and other areas may exhibit
instability. Stability should be evaluated on an individual basis as the subgrade soils are
exposed. Soils at the remaining boring locations appear to have more favorable stability.
Although, where clayey or existing fill soils are present in the upper profile, greater variability
can be expected.
Compressibility
In general, the soils at this site are not considered significantly compressible. We assume site
grades will not be increased, therefore, soil compressibility should not be an issue at this site
provided the subgrade is prepared as recommended.
Shrinkage /Swelling Potential
The soils encountered within the borings generally do not experience significant shrinkage or
swelling due to changes in water content.
Drainage
The site soils have a wide range of permeability properties. Water can be expected to perch
over the clayey materials and also over the more fine grained silty sands.
AET Job No. 01 -01274 — Page 8 of 19
Frost Susceptibility
Except for the sands and sands with silt (SP and SP -SM), the on -site soils are considered at
least moderately frost susceptible. These soils can heave approximately '/" or more for each
foot of frost penetration. The soils with higher silt content are susceptible to ice lens
formation where water is available. When ice lenses form or if soil types are mixed
(increasing the possibility of trapped water), frost heaves can be greater and differential.
R -Value
In general, the limiting subgrade soils at this site are generally clayey sand and sandy lean clay
(A -6) soils, with an estimated R -value of 20. In the areas of thick existing pavements, these
limiting soils tend to be interbedded with higher R -value sandy soils. Similarly, A -6 soils, as
well as some lean clay (A -8) soils, where encountered within one of the borings in the area of
the thinner existing pavement. However, in the thin pavement areas it appears that the
predominant subgrade soils consist of sand, sand with silt, and silty sands with less than 20%
passing the #200 sieve. These sandy soils have an estimated R -value of 50 or higher.
Approach Discussion
Soil subgrade quality becomes worse as silt and clay content increases. Higher silt content
soils are more frost susceptible, and higher clay content soils tend to trap water. When these
soils are present in the upper portion of the subgrade, it is preferable to place a sand subbase
layer to improve uniformity and the frost /drainage properties of the subgrade /pavement
system.
We understand that subcutting the poorer subgrade soils and replacing them with a sand
subbase may not be feasible in areas where thick pavements currently exist. However, we
believe this approach should be considered in the areas of thinner existing pavements. By
subcutting the lean clays, sandy lean clays, and clayey sands and placing a 11/2' thick drained
sand subbase layer, a more uniform subgrade can be achieved. In addition, the design R -value
will be consistent with the existing Granular Borrow subgrade areas.
New Pavement Subgrade Preparation
RECOMMENDATIONS
AET Job No. 01 -01274 — Page 9 of 19
Existing Pavement
We understand the City of Hopkins has previously utilized a deep mill and overlay procedure in
areas where thick pavements are present. We understand that complete reconstruction is
considered unfeasible in these areas. The thick existing pavements appear to be structurally
adequate. However, current pavement cracks and distress will likely become visible with time in
the new overlay. Care should be taken to seal existing cracks, and selective soil
correctionlstability improvement is advisable in highly distressed areas.
General
Subgrade preparation in new pavement areas will depend on the soil types present within the
upper zone of the subgrade. In addition to observing the soils exposed during construction,
auger borings or test holes should be performed, in order to evaluate the soils present within
the upper 21/2' to 3' of the subgrade. Observation during any utility installations is also a
favorable time to make subgrade evaluation opinions.
Subcutting
We recommend a sand subbase layer be placed where the subgrade soils do not meet a
Granular Borrow specification (per MnIDOT Specification 3149.2B1). This specification
requires soils containing less than 20% by weight passing the #200 sieve (fines). This
specification includes sands, sands with silt, and some silty sands. Where clayey soils or soils
containing more than 35 % fines are present (such as Boring 4), the thickness of the sand
subbase should be 11/2'. In areas where silty sands with 20% to 35% fines are encountered,
the thickness of the sand subbase layer can be reduced to 1'.
To prepare the existing subgrade for pavement placement, we recommend removing the
existing materials to "grade". Our definition of "grade" is the contact with the bottom of the
sand subbase layer, or the bottom of the aggregate base layer if no sand subbase is needed. If
organic soils are exposed, we recommend they be subcut to underlying inorganic materials.
AET Job No. 01 -01274 —Page 10 of 19
The soils exposed in the final subcut should then be evaluated for stability using a test roll
process, as described on the attached standard sheet. Soils which are found to be unstable
during the test roll either should be removed and replaced, or they should be scarified, dried,
and recompacted.
If the roadway is widened, the subcut will extend off the existing road surface and soil
conditions may be different than those found beneath the existing street. It is desirable to
correct these areas to a condition similar to the existing street area in regards to subgrade
strength/stability, drainage, and frost uniformity. Stability evaluation in these areas will be
very important. Final judgments should be made by a geotechnical engineer /technician at the
time of construction.
Geotextile Fabric
If stabilization of clayey or silty soils is difficult, a geotextile stabilization fabric could be
used. However, the use of a geotextile fabric over unstable soils may not necessarily provide
an equivalent off -set as compared to proper soil stabilization. For stability improvement, the
fabric should be placed below a sand subbase layer, in order to better utilize the tensile
properties of the fabric. The geotextile should be as taut as possible, and it should be sewn or
sufficiently overlapped at the seams.
Sand Subbase
Sand subbase material should meet the requirements of a Select Granular Borrow (Mn/DOT
Specification 3149.2B2), which requires a sand containing less than 12% by weight passing
the #200 sieve. This specification does allow for the possibility of fine grained sand material,
which approaches a silty sand classification. This type of material does not necessarily allow
for free drainage, which can affect frost heave performance and stability. Therefore, we
prefer the use of a Modified Select Granular Borrow, which we define as a sand with less than
5% passing the #200 sieve and less than 40% passing the #40 sieve (by weight). Value
engineering judgments of intermediate gradations can also be considered. Where there is a
need to vary the thickness of the sand subbase, we recommend the thickness have a taper of no
steeper than 20:1 (horizontal to vertical).

I Compaction
New fill placed should be compacted per Mn/DOT Specification 2105.3F1 (Specified Density
I Method). This specification requires the soils placed within the upper 3' subgrade zone be
compacted to a minimum of 100 % of the Standard Proctor maximum dry density
I (ASTM:D698). Soils within this upper zone should also maintain a water content ranging
from 65% to 102 % of the "optimum water content" based on the Standard Proctor. A
I reduced minimum compaction level of 95 % of the Standard Proctor density can be used below
the upper 3' zone.
I Subsurface Drainage
Where a sand subbase layer is placed over slower draining soils, the sand subbase should be
I provided with a means of subsurface drainage to prevent the build up of water within the
subbase. This can be accomplished by placing short segments of properly engineered drainage
I lines which are connected to catch basins in low elevation areas (finger drains). Where the
P street is relatively level and forger drains are not frequent, the placement of a longer parallel
drainage line through the level area should be considered to better remove infiltrating water.
I Shorter paths to draintile lines are needed as the sand subbase becomes less permeable.
Therefore, more draintile would be needed for a Select Granular Borrow subbase versus a
I Modified Select Granular Borrow subbase.
I When sand subbase placement (or general placement of sand fill) takes place over slower
draining soils, the final scope /shape of the subcut bottom should promote drainage to relief
I areas. It is preferable not to create depressions in the native soil subgrade, which act as
reservoirs for water collection.
1 Pavement Design
Our pavement design recommendations at the boring locations where new pavement
I construction is anticipated are illustrated in the table below. Our designs are based on the
MnDOT "State Aid Manual", the traffic information described previously, and the assumed
11111 R- values show in the table. The R- values shown are based on the conditions encountered at
the boring locations and on the recommended subgrade preparation described previously.

CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
AET Job No. 01 -01274 — Page 12 of 19
Utility Support /Backfilling
If utility installation or replacement takes place, we recommend trenching, installation, and
backfilling be performed prior to final street subgrade preparation and sand subbase
placement. Based on the conditions encountered in the borings, the soils present should
provide adequate support for utility construction. Special bedding may be needed in cases
where the pipe is placed within soils which may create point loads or where the trench bottom
is unstable. We refer you to the following standard data sheets for additional
recommendations on utility bedding and backfilling: "Standard Recommendations for Utility
Bedding /Support Fill" and "Standard Recommendations for Utility Trench Backfilling".
Potential Difficulties
Some of the materials excavated may be wet or dry, making proper compaction of those
materials difficult unless they are mechanically moisture conditioned to near the optimum
water content. The instability of the soils beneath the fill layer being compacted may also
limit the ability to compact the upper soils.
Cobbles and boulders can be present within the alluvial and glacial till soils. This may make
excavating procedures more difficult than normal if they are encountered. If oversized
particles are encountered, they should be removed and replaced with compacted fill, in order
to reduce point loads.
The drainage properties of some of the on -site soils can result in water becoming perched at
varying levels. This perched water can increase soil instability.
Excavation Sidesloping /Retention
Excavations should maintain minimum sidesloping, unless they are retained. Sideslopes
should be maintained in accordance with OSHA Regulations (Standards 29 CFR, Part 1926,
Subpart P, "Excavations"), which can be found at http: / /www.osha.gov . Even with the
required OSHA sloping, ground water seepage can induce sidesiope raveling or running,
which would require maintenance.
Observation and Testing
The recommendations in this report are based on the subsurface conditions found at our test
boring locations. Since soil conditions can be expected to vary away from the soil boring
locations, we recommend on -site observation by a geotechnical engineer or technician during
construction to evaluate these potential changes. Soil density testing should also be performed
on fill in order to document that the project specifications for compaction and water content
have been satisfied.
SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
AET Job No. 01 -01274 — Page 13 of 19
General
The subsurface exploration consisted of nine flight auger borings, which were performed at
the site on June 5, 2002. The approximate soil boring locations are shown on Figure 1. The
boring locations were documented in the field by AET personnel after drilling using a Trimble
Pathfinder Pro XR GPS unit, which typically has horizontal accuracy better than one meter.
The coordinates of the boring locations are provided in the attached Table 1. The ground
surface elevations at the boring locations were measured by AET personnel using an
engineer's level. The benchmark references used are the top nut of two hydrants shown on
Figure 1; these elevations were provided by you.
AET Job No. 01 -01274 — Page 14 of 19
Drilling Methods
The soil borings were performed with a 6" diameter flight auger. The boring method consisted
of drilling into the ground with 5' sections of auger. The auger was pulled out of the ground and
samples were collected directly from the flights of the auger. Although the pulling method
results in a smaller sample size than the spinning method, it generally provides a more
representative indication of the material at a certain depth.
Sampling Methods
Disturbed Samples
Soil samples were collected directly from the flights of the auger at each change in soil type.
These samples were returned to our laboratory for further classification and testing. In addition,
composite samples from Borings 2, 5, and 9 were collected for future R -value testing, if deemed
necessary.
Sampling Limitations
Unless actually observed in the sample, contacts between soil layers are estimated based on the
spacing of the samples and the action of the drilling tools. Cobbles, boulders, and other large
objects generally cannot be recovered from the test borings. However, they may still be
present in the ground, even if they are not noted on the boring logs.
Classification Methods
Soil classifications shown on the boring logs are based on the Unified Soil Classification
(USC) system. The USC system is described in ASTM:D2487 and D2488. Where laboratory
classification tests (sieve analysis or Atterberg limits) have been performed, classifications per
ASTM:D2487 are possible. Otherwise, soil classifications show on the boring logs are visual -
manual judgments. We have attached charts (Appendix A) illustrating the USC system, the
descriptive terminology, and the symbols used on the boring logs.
In addition to the USC system classification, we have judged AASHTO Group Classification
(which appears following the USC description). A sheet describing the AASHTO Soils
Classification System is also attached.
AET Job No. 01 -01274 — Page 15 of 19
The boring logs include judgments of the geologic deposition. This judgment is primarily
based on observation of the soil samples, which can be limited. Observations of the
surrounding topography, vegetation, and development can sometimes aid this judgment.
Water Level Measurements
The ground water measurements are shown at the bottom of the boring logs. The following
information appears under "Water Level Measurements" on the logs:
• Date and Time of measurement
• Sampled Depth: lowest depth of soil sampling at time of measurement
• Casing Depth: depth to bottom of casing or hollow -stem auger at time of measurement
• Cave - Depth: depth at which measuring tape stops in the borehole
• Water Level: depth in the borehole where free water is encountered
• Drilling Fluid Level: same as water level, except the liquid encountered is drilling fluid
The true location of the water table at the boring locations may be different than the water
levels measured in the boreholes. This is possible because several factors can affect the water
level measurements in the borehole. Some of these factors include the following:
permeability of each soil layer in the profile; presence of perched water; amount of time
between water level readings; presence of drilling fluid; weather conditions; and use of
borehole casing.
Sample Storage
We will retain representative samples of the soils recovered from the borings for a period of
180 days. The samples will then be discarded unless you notify us otherwise.
LABORATORY TESTING
The laboratory testing program consisted of 7 sieve analysis tests and 4 water content tests.
The sieve analysis test results appear on the data sheets following the boring logs. The results

AET Job No. 01- 01274 Page 16 of 19
of the water content tests are show on the individual boring logs, opposite the samples upon
which they were performed.
LIMITATIONS
The data derived through this sampling and observation program have been used to develop our opinions
about the subsurface conditions at this site. However, because no exploration program can reveal totally
what is in the subsurface, conditions between borings, between samples, and at other times may differ
from conditions described in this report. The exploration we conducted identified subsurface conditions
only at those points where we took samples or observed ground water conditions. Depending on the
sampling methods and frequency, every soil layer may not be observed, and some materials or layers
which are present in the ground may not be noted on the boring logs.
If conditions encountered during construction differ from those indicated by our borings, it may be
necessary to alter our conclusions and recommendations, or to modify construction procedures, and the
cost of construction may be affected.
The extent and detail of information about the subsurface condition is directly related to the scope of the
exploration. It should be understood. therefore, that information can be obtained by means of additional
exploration.
STANDARD OF CARE
Our services for your project have been conducted to those standards considered normal for
services of this type at this time and location. Other than this, no warranty, either express or
implied is intended.

AET Job No. 01 -01274 - Page 17 of 19
BITUMINOUS PAVEMENT SUBGRADE PREPARATION AND DESIGN
Biturninous pavements are considered layered "flexible" systems. Dynamic wheel loads transmit high local stresses
through the biturninous/base onto the subgrade, Because of this, the upper portion of the subgrade requires high
strength /stability to reduce deflection and fatigue of the binuninous/base system. The wheel load intensity dissipates
through the subgrade such that the high level of soil stability is usually not needed below about 2' to 4' (depending
on the anticipated traffic and underlying soil conditions). This is the primary reason for specifying a higher level of
compaction within the upper subgrade zone versus the lower portion. Moderate compaction is usually desired below
the upper critical zone, primarily to avoid settlements /sags of the roadway. However, if the soils present below the
upper 3' subgrade zone are unstable, attempts to properly compact the upper 3' zone to the 100% level may be
difficult or not possible. Therefore, control of moisture just below the 3' level may be needed to provide a non-
yielding base upon which to compact the upper subgrade soils.
Long -term pavement performance is dependent on the soil subgrade drainage and frost characteristics. Poor to
moderate draining soils tend to be susceptible to frost heave and subsequent weakening upon thaw_ This condition can
result in irregular frost movements and "popouts," as well as an accelerated softening of the subgrade. Frost problems
become more pronounced when the subgrade is layered with soils of varying permeability. In this situation, the free -
draining soils provide a pathway and reservoir for water infiltration which exaggerates the movements. The placement
of a well drained sand subbase layer as the top of subgrade can minimize trapped water, smooth frost movements and
significantly reduce subgrade softening. In wet, layered and/or poor drainage situations, the long term performance
gain should be significant. If a sand subbase is placed, we recommend it be a 'Select Granular Borrow" which meets
Mn/DOT Specification 3149.2B2.
PREPARATION
Subgrade preparation should include stripping surficial vegetation and organic soils. Where the exposed soils are
within the upper "critical" subgrade zone (generally 21/2' deep for "auto only" areas and 3' deep for "heavy duty"
areas), they should be evaluated for stability. Excavation equipment may make such areas obvious due to deflection
and rutting patterns. Final evaluation of soils within the critical subgrade zone should be done by test rolling with
heavy rubber -tired construction equipment, such as a loaded dump truck.. Soils which rut or deflect 1" or more under
the test roll should be corrected by either subcutting and replacement; or by scarification, drying, and recompaction.
Reworked soils and new fill should be compacted per the "Specified Density Method" outlined in Mn/DOT
Specification 2105.3F1 (a minimum of 100% of Standard Proctor density in the upper 3' subgrade zone, and a
minimum of 95% below this).
Subgrade preparation scheduling can be an important consideration. Fall and Spring seasons usually have unfavorable
weather for soil drying. Stabilizing non -sand subgrades during these seasons may be difficult, and attempts often result
in compromising the pavement quality. Where construction scheduling requires subgrade preparation during these
times, the use of a sand subbase becomes even more beneficial for constructability reasons.
SUBGRADE DRAINAGE
If a sand subbase layer is used, it should be provided with a means of subsurface drainage to prevent water build -up.
This can be in the form of draintile lines which dispose into storm sewer systems, or outlets into ditches. Where sand
subbase layers include sufficient sloping, and water can migrate to lower areas, draintile lines can be limited to finger
drains at the catch basins. Even if a sand layer is not placed, strategically placed draintile lines can aid in improving
pavement performance. This would be most important in areas where adjacent non -paved areas slope towards the
pavement. Perimeter edge drains can aid in intercepting water which may infiltrate below the pavement.

STANDARD RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
UTILITY BEDDING /SUPPORT FILL
1
GENERAL
' Support of utility systems often involves subcutting below pipe invert for the purpose of placing a granular
bedding material for uniform pipe support, or to remove unstable and/or compressible soils. The material used
as bedding or to reattain grade in subcut areas should depend on the conditions in the trench bottom. The use
' of sand or gravel bedding below the pipe is recommended where trench bottoms are unstable; or where in -place
soils have gravel, cobbles, and/or boulders which create point loads. Also, the use of a uniform granular
bedding would be more important in the case of flexible pipe (such as PVC) versus a rigid pipe (such as RCP).
' BEDDING MATERIALS
Where bedding material or new support fill is needed below utility systems, the following materials would be
appropriate for varying trench conditions:
• General Refilling of Subcuts /Stable Trench Bottoms - Granular bedding per Mn/DOT Specification
I 3149.2F
Mild Instability/Minor Ground Water Conditions - "Fine Filter Aggregate" per Mn/DOT Specification
3149.27
High Instability or Substantial Ground Water Conditions - "Coarse Filter Aggregate" per Mn/DOT
' Specification 3149.21-1
When using a coarser material which includes significant void space, we recommend completely enveloping
O the gravel within a geotextile separation fabric. The gravel material includes open void space, and the fabric
would act as a separator and minimize the intrusion of fines into the void space.
COMPACTION
Granular bedding should be tamped into place in thin lifts. hi those areas where fill thicknesses exceed 1' due
to deeper subcuts, the bedding should be compacted to a minimum of 95% of the Standard Proctor density
(ASTM:D698). In the case where granular bedding is not compactable due to poor stability, rock bedding
1, should be used (which is usually tamped with a backhoe bucket but not tested).

GENERAL
STANDARD RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
UTILITY TRENCH BACK-FELLING
AET Job No. 01 -01274 — Page 19 of 19
Clayey and silty soils are often difficult to cornpact, as they may be naturally wet or may become wet due to
ground water or surface /rain water during construction. Soils will need to be placed within a certain range of
water (moisture) content to attain desired compaction levels. Moisture conditioning to within this range can be
time consuming, labor intensive, and requires favorable weather.
The degree of compaction and the soil type used for backfill within open cut utility trenches depends on the
function of the overlying land surface. Details are as follows:
ROADWAYS
Where trenches are located below roadways, we recommend using inorganic fill and compacting these soils per
Mn/DOT Specification 210.5.3E1 (Specified Density Method). This specification requires 100% of the Standard
Proctor density in the upper one meter subgrade zone, and 95 % below this. Note that this specification includes
moisture content range requirements which are important for proper subgrade stability.
Where available soils are wet or of poor quality, it may be possible to use the "Quality Compaction Method"
(Mn/DOT Specification 2105.3F2) for soils below the upper one meter subgrade zone if you can tolerate some
subsidence. However, a high level of stability is still important within the upper subgrade zone and recommend
that the "Specified Density Method" be used in this upper subgrade area. We caution that if bacicfrll soils in the
lower trench area are significantly unstable, it may be difficult or even impossible to properly compact soils
within the upper one meter subgrade zone. In this case, placing a geotextile fabric directly over the unstable
soils can aid in offsetting the instability.
STRUCTURAL AREAS
If fill is placed beneath or within the significant zone of influence of a structure (typically a 1:1 lateral oversize
zone), the soil type and minimum compaction level will need to be evaluated on an individual basis. Because
trenches result in variable fill depths over a short lateral distance, higher than normal compaction levels and /or
more favorable (sandy) soil fill types may be needed. If this situation exists, it is important that special
geotechnical engineering review be performed.
NON - STRUCTURAL AREAS
In grass /ditch areas, backfdl soils should be placed in reasonable lift thicknesses and compacted to a minimum
of 90% of the Standard Proctor density (ASTM:D698) and/or per the Mn/DOT "Quality Compaction Method. "
If lower compaction levels are attained, more noticeable subsidence at the surface can occur. Steep or high
slopes require special consideration.

STANDARD PENETRATION TEST NOTES
The standard penetration test consists of driving the sampler with
a 140 -pound hammer and counting the number of blows applied
in each of three 6" increments of penetration. If the sampler is
driven less than 18" (usually in highly resistant material),
permitted in ASTM:D1586, the blows for each complete 6"
increment and for each partial increment is on the boring log.
For partial increments, the number of blows is shown to the
nearest 0.1' below the slash.
The length of sample recovered, as shown on the "REC"
column, may be greater than the distance indicated in the N
column. The disparity is because the N -value is recorded below
the initial 6" set (unless partial penetration defined in
ASTM:D1586 is encountered) whereas the length of sample
recovered is for the entire sampler drive (which may even
extend more than 18 ").

PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING: JULY 9, 2002
2003 STREET AND UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS
• Steve Bot welcomed the meeting attendees and introduced the project areas.
• Steve Bot referenced the City's Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) and Pavement
Management Program (PMP) in conjunction with the costs of repairing or replacing
aging streets.
• Marcus Thomas discussed the purposed of a feasibility report and described the existing
street and utility conditions along 5"` Avenue and 2nd Street North. Proposed
improvements were also reviewed.
• Steve Bot discussed the options of State Aid vs. non -State Aid designations and truck
restrictions vs. no truck restrictions and what impacts these alternatives have on
assessment rates. Steve presented a tabulation of estimated assessment rates for this
project based on these options. Steve explained that utility improvements, including
watermain, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer, are not assessable, but rather paid for by
their respective utility funds.
• Steve Bot reviewed the preliminary schedule for the project.
• Issues and concerns expressed by attendees included:
- truck route enforcement issues
- the possibility of assessing more than the adjacent properties along 5t` Avenue
- the patterns and safety of pedestrians crossing 5"` Avenue at 2" Street North;
feasibility of a traffic signal at this intersection
- proposed sidewalk purpose along 2' Street North

Resolution Approving New Member Department Needed.
At our last Southwest Mutual Aid Association meeting we approved the change from
Excelsior Fire Department to Excelsior Fire District as a SWMAA member Department. To
complete this we must each pass a resolution approving the new "exhibit A" to our
agreement. Included in this packet is a copy of the agreement, a copy of the new exhibit
A., and a sample resolution. The agreement has already been approved by our councils.
It is only enclosed for reference purposes.
Please be sure to have the City Clerk send a certified copy of the resolution to me.
