Rcsolution Ordering the Preparation ofa Feasibility Report For Year 2003 Street Improvements, This adion is the first step in the process of improving selected streets in 2003 and assessing abutting properties per City assessment policy. A petition to improve any of the proposed streets has not been submitted to the City. Ovcrvic",' The 2002-2006 CIP identifies street improvemcnts for the year 2003 along 2nd Street North (51h Avenue North to 6th Avenue North) and 5th Avenue (3rd Street South to Highway 7). The first step in proceeding with a 2003 project is ordering a feasibility report. After an extensive proposal and consultant rating process, starr has selected a qualified consultant to prepare the feasibility study/preliminary engineering report for the . project and requests City Council approval to proceed. The cost of the report, preliminury engineering, and geoteclmical evaluation is $14,920.

Project background The scope of t11..:.- proposed 2003 street improvements (which are assessable) includes: 2nd Street North 5lh Avenue North to 6th Avenue North 51h Avenue 3rt! Street South to Highway 7 These streets were selected for 2003 improvements because of their current pavement condition as detailed in the City Pavement Management Condition Survey and the perceived inadequacy of curh and gutter sections. Improvements "vi 11 cover the spectrum of mill/overlay, partial reconstruction, and fuIl reconstruction. Our main objective in the feasibility phase will be to determine the most cost-effective combination of street rchahilitation techniques that \vilI result in long-term pavement I ire. In addition to the roadway improvements, we will be evaluating potential . geometric, tratlic now, utility, signal, pedestrian, bicycle. railroad crossing, lighting, and streetscape improvements along the project arca. A current geotechnical report as \vell as supplementary subgrade horing and testing will be developed to define the project scope. . Why order a feasibility report? Minnesota Statute No. 429 - Assessment Procedures, requires preparation of a feasibility report on assessed projects. The report will provide preliminary engineering in formation. project cost estimates and preliminary assessment amounts to help City Council decide whether or not to proceed with the project. It is also used to present and discuss the project with the abutting residential and commercial owners. . Selection of consultant City Staff conducted an extensive consultant selection process for this project. ReqLlcst for proposal (RFP) Ictters were mailed to four top municipal roadway design consultants. We were very pleased when all four consultants expressed a high level of interest in this exciting project. Proposals were submitted by all four consultants and were evaluated by a team of six public works employees who will . ultimately work extensively vvith the selected consultant. --- .

The existing pipe, an I approximately 500 foot, 88"x64" corrugated metal arch pipe, had shown signs of deterioration and was determined to lack the I hydraulic capacity required by the City's storm water management plan. I II Originally, a 72" reinforced concrete pipe was selected to replace the existing arch pipe. However, a geotechnical exploration of the site revealed a substantial layer of organic peat I material extending along 400 feet of the proposed pipe, just below its invert. Preliminary designs for the storm sewer Date: August - October 1999 I included 50' concrete-filled steel friction piles to support the concrete pipe. Estimated Project Cost: $730,000 construction costs for this length of storm sewer, I including two large vault structures, were nearly Client: City of Hopkins $500,000. Project Manager: Marcus A. Thomas, P.E. I Working closely with the City of Hopkins' staff, Bolton & Menk, Inc., developed an alternative design for the stann sewer trunk line which I utilized dual 54" high density polyethylene (HOPE) pipes. The pipe's appeal for this project was its lighter weight. Using this pipe I required only soils corrections beneath the invert, as opposed to a set of friction piles at the ends of each pipe segment.

I I I In accordance with the City of Hopkins Capital Improvements Plan, the City has designated 5th Avenue between ]'d Street South and Trunk Highway 7 for rehabilitation in 2003. This approximately one-mile I segment of roadway is a Municipal State Aid route and a major collector serving the City of Hopkins. Additionally, 2nd Street North between 51h and 6th A venues North is scheduled for improvements. This is a local City street not designated as an MSA route. I The City of Hopkins has requested the services of a consulting engineer to assist in the preliminary engineering and feasibility study phase of this improvement project. In general, the City's consultant I will team with a geotechnical engineer to evaluate the existing street conditions and to determine the most cost-effective rehabilitation techniques to employ along this roadway. The consultant will prepare a written feasibility study report detailing the conclusions of the geotechnical evaluation. The report will it discuss the need for geometric and traffic operation enhancements along this corridor, including the evaluation of existing signal systems, and wi II address the conditions of existing trail systems, landscaping, and streetscaping. The report will review the existing underlying utilities and will make any I necessary recommendations for improvements. Finally, funding sources and preliminary assessment rates will also be discussed. I During the completion of the preliminary engineering and feasibility study phase and future phases of this project, Bolton & Menk intends on utilizing and adhering to the new City of Hopkins Engineering Guidelines developed by the City's Engineering Division earlier this year. I The following describes our understanding of the specific tasks required by the City of Hopkins to complete the preliminary engineering and feasibility study phase of this project. Section 5 details the person-hours we intend on committing to each task along with the total fees associated with each task. I Task 1.0: Pavement Testing and Street Section Design We propose to work with American Engineering Testing, Inc., to complete the geotechnical requirements I of this project. These requirements include an evaluation of the existing subgrades and pavements, auger borings to sample the underlying soil conditions, and pavement rehabilitation recommendations. The final product of this task will be a completed geotechnical report summarizing the evaluations, analyses, I and recommendations. The following are the specific work items of this task: Task 1.1: Analysis of Sub grade Soil Strength ~ Upon completion of the auger borings, the in-place subgrade soils will be categorized and evaluated to determine estimated R-values indicating subgrade strength. This information will be considered along with City-furnished PCI values, structural adequacy ratios, and visual field I Proposal for a Preliminary Engineering Report Submitted by I 2003 Street and Utility Improvement Project Bolton & Menk, Inc.

I Task 1.2: Auger Borings American Engineering Testing, Inc., will complete eight (8), 15-foot deep auger borings located I along 5th Avenue between 3rd Street South and Trunk Highway 7, and along 2nd Street North between 5th and 61h A venues. We will propose the exact locations of these borings for review and approval by City staff. The I purpose of these borings is to assist in the analysis of the existing pavement sections and subgrades, and to provide soils information with in the zones of possible utility improvements. I Task 1.3: Pavement Section Design Based on the information determined by Tasks 1.1 and 1.2, along with PCI values, traffic volume information, and input from the City of Hopkins staff, Bolton & Menk and American I Engineering Testing will determine the proper pavement rehabilitation techniques to employ along 5th A venue and 2nd Street North. We understand that varying pavement, subgrade, and curb conditions along this roadway may require different levels of rehabilitation, ranging from thin I mill and overlays to complete reconstruction. The objective of our final recommendations is to prav ide the City of Hopkins with the combination of rehabilitation techniques that will result in the most cost-effective design along the corridor. t' Our final recommendations will detail pavement sections including asphalt and aggregate base types and thicknesses, subgrade support, and drainage. In cases of partial or full street I reconstruction, we will evaluate the needs for special subbase considerations, drain tiles, geotextiles and any other pavement design details that may be necessary. I Task 2.0: Feasibility Study The preparation of the feasibility study will include the assembly of existing information fram the City of Hopkins and review meetings with City staffto discuss the existing street and utility conditions and I needs for improvements. This task will also include a review and discussion of the final geotechnical repol1, neighborhood meetings, and a City Council presentation of the final feasibility study report. The following are the specific work items of this task: I Task 2.1: Existing information Collection We will collect all available information relating to the project and adjacent areas from the City of Hopkins including street and utility as-builts, pavement maintenance reports, sewer videos and I logs, utility maintenance reports, and street light wiring diagrams. We will verify that we have the latest copies of the City's Water and Sewer Utility Master Plan and Storm Water Management Plan. We will also verify that we have the most recent electronic copies of the I City's GIS maps. Other mapping information we will compile includes available topographic maps and aerial photos from the City and location information from all private utility companies with facilities along this corridor. ~ During past projects, Bolton & Menk has coordinated efforts with the City of Hopkins to obtain neighborhood survey information assisting us in the identification of project area needs and I Proposaljor a Preliminary Engineering Report Submitted by I 2003 Street and Utility Improvement Project Bolton & Menk.

We would include this effort as a part of this task ifit is the City's desire to continue I this level of neighborhood involvement. Once all of the available information has been collected, we will prepare comprehensive maps of I the existing conditions for a meeting with the City's engineering staff. The purpose ofthis meeting is to confirm the accuracy of the compiled infOlmation and to solidify our understanding of the project issues and scope. I Task 2.2: Review Existing Utilities The review of the existing utilities will be initiated by a meeting with the City of Hopkins I engineering and public works staff. The purpose of this meeting is to receive input from the City's staff regarding their opinions of any necessary improvements. The City could consider combining this meeting with the meeting previously described in Task 2.1. This would be similar to how Bolton & Menk has worked with the City staff on past projects. The information I gathered at this meeting will then be reviewed along with the data obtained through Task 2.1. The RFP describes a sanitary sewer problem area between First Street North and Minnetonka Mills Road as well as a drainage problem in the area of Minnetonka Mills Road and 5th Avenue I North that we will pay special attention to during our meetings and our review process. t' A general review of the existing street lighting and signal systems will also be completed. We will analyze the street lighting for any illumination deficiencies or deficiencies in the conditions of the existing poles or bases. We will also evaluate and discuss the need for any wiring upgrades or feed point improvements. The traffic signals located at Excelsior Boulevard, I Mainstreet, and Minnetonka Mills Road will be inspected for adequate sight lines to the signal heads and EVP systems. The EVP functions will be reviewed for compliance with the City's requirements, and the conditions ofthe existing signal poles and mast arms will be evaluated. I We will evaluate and discuss the need for any timing improvements at each of the signals and will discuss the need for any wiring upgrades or feed point improvements. If the general reviews of the existing lighting and signal systems reveal a need to complete a more detailed traffic study, I signal timing modeling, signal justification reports, or actual field illumination measurements, we will discuss these needs with the City as well as the additional work required to complete the expanded scope. I Task 2.3: Evaluation of Surface Facilities within the Right-o.fWay The geotechnical report prepared under Task I will serve as the basis of this work item. The I evaluations, analyses, and recommendations of this report will be summarized for inclusion into the final feasibi I ity study. Other surface features to be evaluated for improvements include curbs, sidewalks, trails, I landscaping, and streetscaping. Special attention will be paid to streetscaping enhancements between Excelsior Boulevard and Mainstreet. We understand that the City is interested in extending the Mainstreet streetscaping theme along this block of 5th A venue, We assume these .. improvements would be similar to those Bolton & Menk prepared for the City of Hopkins along 81h Avenue South between Excelsior Boulevard and Mainstreet. We will also address the City's desire to upgrade and maintain a continuous sidewalk and trail system between Minnetonka I Mills Road and Trunk Highway 7. Proposal for a Preliminary Engineering Report Submitted by I 2003 Street and Utility Improvement Project Bolton & Menk, Inc. City of Hopkins, Minnesota Section 4 - 3 I .. I The RFP requests that special consideration be given to the need for traffic flow and operation I enhancements in the areas south of Exce]sior Boulevard and north of Minnetonka Mills Road. It is our understanding that future development south of Exce]sior Bou]evard and the potentia] redevelopment of the existing SuperValu site in the northeast quadrant of Trunk Highway 169 I and Excelsior Boulevard may have significant impacts within these project areas. It is understood that the project area south of Excelsior Boulevard also features pedestrian and railroad facilities as well as future driveway access points which we will need to consider in the I overall evaluation ofthe traffic flow through this area. Task 2. 4: Draft Feasibility Study A draft of the final feasibility study, defined as approximately 90 percent complete, will discuss I the existing conditions of the 5th A venue corridor and 2nd Street South and will present our proposed infrastructure improvements based on the work completed in Tasks 2.1 through 2.3. It will include a detailed cost estimate and discuss the funding sources for the various I improvements. Preliminary assessment rates will also be presented. Finally, detailed illustrations presenting the existing and proposed conditions along this corridor will be included. We intend to use these illustrations as visual aids as we present the final report to the City I Council. The overall format of the report will be similar to feasibility studies prepared for the City of Hopkins by Bolton & Menk in the past, most recently for the 2002 Street and Utility -- Improvements project. This draft report will be submitted to the City of Hopkins for staff review and a meeting will be held between the staff and Bo]ton & Menk to discuss the City's comments. Task 2.5: Neighborhood Meeting I Upon approval of the draft feasibility study by the City of Hopkins staff, we will present the repOlt at a public information meeting, reviewing the project scope and preliminary assessment rates. The purpose of this meeting is to solicit input from the effected residents for consideration I in the final draft of the report. The minutes of this meeting will also be included in the final report. I Task 2. 6: Final Report and Presentation at City Council Meeting on July 16, 2002 Upon receipt of the City's comments on the draft feasibility study and upon completion of Task 2.5, the final draft of the report will be completed and submitted to the City's Engineering I Division for final acceptance prior to presentation at the City Council meeting. With the City staff's consent, we will present the final feasibility study at the July] 6,2002 City Council meeting. This presentation will be a verba] SUl11maIY of the report with visual displays of the report's illustrations, cost estimates, and assessment rates. I I ..

I I Qu al ificati ons Remediation Services ~ AET's client-oriented, results-based approach to site remediation focuses on pro- viding timely, cost-effective and long-term solutions in a safe manner. In the event soil and/or groundwater contamination has been detected at a site, its extent and I magnitude need to be defined. If the contamination detected on-site is considered harmful for human health and safety, and/or is expected to adversely impact the environment, remediation is necessary. In developing a remediation strategy, a I number of remediation alternatives are considered and the most effective option is selected. Then, site specific remediation systems are designed, fabricated/pur- chased, installed, and operated. Based on client needs, AET's services may range I from performing any or all elements of the remediation process. Site Characterization I Site characterization defines the horizontal and vertical extent, type, and magni- tude 01 the contamination. AET's tiered approach to site characterization is results- based. It is designed to provide optimal information tor considering feasible reme- I diation alternatives which are in compliance with regulatory and legal require- ments. AET utilizes a variety of exploratory methods to characterize a site. Some of these methods include installation, sampling, and abandonment of soil borings I and groundwater monitoring wells; on-site services consisting of soil screening, sampling, air and soil-vapor monitoring; alternative groundwater sampling tech- niques such as drive point methods (SmartPoint, Geoprobe, HydroPunch); slug tests, permeability and percolation tests; site trenching; and computer modeling. I Remediation Alternatives II AET's staff is experienced in remediating sites haVing contamination ranging from petroleum and agricultural chemicals to coal tar and heavy metals. AET focuses on cost-effective, feasible and innovative technologies. A risk-based reme- diation strategy is developed after site characterization is completed. Depending I on the risks associated with the on-site contamination, remediation alternatives considered may include containment, recovery, treatment and/or no action. AET's professional staft is capable of evaluating, designing, implementing, operating, and I maintaining various site remediation systems which include: . Soil vapor extraction/soil venting I .

(AET) is pleased to offer you geotechnical drilling, testing, and engineering services tor the above referenced project. I Proiect Information We understand the project involves preliminary engineerinf and a feasibility report for street and utility improvements along 5th Avenue and a portion of 2n Street North in Hopkins, Minnesota. I Proposed improvements may include rehabilitation of the existing pavements or complete reconstruction. I Scope of Services Prior to drilling, AET will clear underground public utilities through the Gopher State One Call System. As requested, a total of 8 flight auger borings will be extended to depths of 15' below I the surtace. We assume the approximate boring locations will be provided by Bolton & Menk Inc. and/or the I City of Hopkins prior to drilling. The final boring locations will be documented in the field by AET personnel with a Trimble GPS Pathfinder Pro XR unit (which provides submeter horizontal accuracy). In addition, MnDOT coordinates will appear on the soil boring logs. We assume the I ground surface elevations at the boring locations will be measured and provided by Bolton & Menk, Inc. I. Soil samples will be returned to our facility and classified using ASTM, MnDOT triangular textural, and AASHTO methods. Soil boring logs will then be prepared using MnDOT's gINT software.

Thomas May 7, 2002 I Page 2 of3 I Selected soil samples will be submitted to the laboratory for index testing to aid in engineering I judgment. We have budgeted $400 for soil laboratory testing, which will include water content, sieve analysis, and/or Atterberg Limits tests. R-value testing has not been included in this testing budget. If required, R-value testing can be provided for a cost of $300 per test. I AET's services will include preparation of a report presenting the data results for the above field and laboratory work. We will also provide geotechnical engineering recommendations for I roadway construction, including sub grade preparation, estimated R-values, and pavement thickness designs. Utility support will also be addressed in the report, including bedding, backfilling, and compaction criteria. In addition, we will discuss constructability issues and frost I related considerations related to the on-site soil and ground water conditions. AET can also provide DXF electronic files of the soil boring logs to assist in preparation of soil profiles, however, we do not have the computer capability to prepare soil profiles in house. I The scope of work defined in this proposal is intended for geotechnical purposes only; it is not intended to explore for the presence or extent of any environmental contamination at the site. -- However, we will note any obvious contamination encountered which can be easily detected by sight or smell. I Fees The scope of services described in this proposal will be invoiced on a time and materials basis in accordance with the attached fee schedule minus a 10% discount. For the scope of services I described previously, we will establish $2,700 as a noHo-exceed fee. If our scope of services needs to be expanded, for proper evaluation, additional costs will be incurred. I Schedule Based on our current schedule and weather pennitting, we anticipate our field work can begin about one to two weeks after we receive written authorization to proceed. We expect our field I services will take one day to complete. Verbal results can be provided within about three days after completion of the drilling. The final report should follow the field work by about ten working days. I Terms and Conditions I Our services will be perfonned according to the attached two page "Service Agreement" and the one page "Subsurface Boring Supplement". ..

I ACS40 I (1 % 1 ) AMERICAN ENGINEERING TESTING, INC. I SUBSURFACE BORING SUPPLEMENT TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS Page 1 of 1 SECTION 1 - UNDERGROUND UTILITY AND STRUCTURE CLEARANCE 1.1 - It is necessary that borings, excavations and other penetrations be located such that they maintain a minimum I safe distance from underground utilities or other man-made objects. Client shall advise AET of all utilities that service or are located on the site, as well as any underground improvements located on the site. AET will contact state notification centers, where available, or individual utility owners where a state notification center is not available prior to drilling. I 1.2 - Public utility owners may not provide the locating service on private property. In such situations, the Client is responsible for location of such utilities prior to drilling. 1.3 - The property owner may have private underground improvements which cannot be cleared through the state I notification center or public utility owners. The Client is responsible for location of these improvements. 1.4 - AET will not be responsible for any damages to "non-located" or incorrectly located underground utilities or other man-made improvements. I SECTION 2 - SITE RESTORATION 2.1 - Client accepts that in the normal course offield exploration work, certain types of damage to the site may occur which are inherent with this type of work, such as tire indentations to lawns and landscape areas. It is the I responsibility of AET to take reasonable precautions to minimize such damage. It is also AET's responsibility to patch boreholes placed through pavement or slab areas after performance of borings. Otherwise, restoration of the site is the responsibility of the client. I SECTION 3 - CONTAMINATION 3.1 - Client acknowledges and accepts that unavoidable contamination risks may be associated with AET's subsurface drilling, sampling and installation of monitoring devices. Risks include, but are not limited to, cross II contamination created by linking contaminated zones to uncontaminated zones during the drilling process; containment and proper disposal of known or suspected hazardous materials, drill cuttings and drill fluids; and decontamination of equipment and disposal and replacement of contaminated consumables. Client and AET agree that the discovery of unanticipated actual or suspected hazardous materials may make it necessary for AET to take I immediate measures, including regulatory notification, to protect human health and safety, and/or the environment. Client and AET also agree that the discovery of such materials constitutes a changed condition which may result in added costs to the Client, and may require a renegotiation of work scope or termination of services. I 3.2 - Pursuant to risks set forth in Section 3.1, which are inherent with AET's work performed on the Client's behalf, Chent agrees to hold harmless and indemnify AET from and against liability associated with contamination resulting therefrom. I SECTION 4 - LOST EOUlPMENT Equipment lost in bore holes may be required to be retrieved or properly abandoned by government agencies. Client agrees to pay AET all costs related to retrieving and/or abandoning such equipment at AET fee schedule rates, unless agreed otherwise. I SECTION 5 - LIMIT A TIONS OF SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION Client recognizes that unavoidable risks occur whenever engineering or related disciplines are applied to identify I subsurface conditions. Variations in soil conditions usually occur between and beyond sampled/tested locations. Even a comprehensive sampling and testing program performed in accordance with a professional standard of care may fail to detect certain conditions, because the variability of conditions cannot be seen. For similar reasons, actual I environmental, geologic and geotechnical conditions that AET characterizes to exist between sampling points may differ significantly from those that actually exist. The passage of time also must be considered, and Client recognizes that, due to natural occurrences or direct or indirect human activities at the site or distant from it, actual conditions discovered may change. Client recognizes that nothing can be done to eliminate the risks associated with ~ these limitations. . A C5402(1 010 1) AMERICAN ENGINEERING TESTING, INC. I -- -- -- I Jeffery K.
