CR 98-189 feasibility Report Engineering Service Agreement CiTY OF ~ e November 24, 1998 HOPKINS Council Report 98-189 Feasibility Report Engineering Service Agreement Alley Reconstmction Proposed Action. Staffrecommends adoption ofthe following motion: Move that Council adopt Resolution 98-85, Resolution Ordering Preparation of Feasibility Report - Alley Reconstmction Project 98-09. and authorize agreement with Bolton and Menk Inc. for engineering services. Overview. Staff had identified an alley immediately south of Main street between 12thl13th Avenues South as a potential reconstmction project in the near future. Because the City is proposing to undetiake street improvements adjacent to this alley in 1999, it is deemed advisable to move this project ahead on the schedule. Staff proposes to have Bolton and Menle prepare a feasibility repOli and design of this alley reconstruction in conjunction with their already authorized services concerning improvements on 12th and 13th Avenues South. Primary Issues to Consider. · Existing alley conditions . . Need for feasibihty report · Engineer's proposal . Recommendation Supporting Information. . Location map · Bolton and Menk proposal · Resolution 98-85 ~ ~ James Gessele Engineering Superintendent . . Analysis. · Existing alley conditions The current alley south of Mainstreet between 12th/13th Avenues South is completely deficient in design and condition. The roadway is entirely of aggregate and other soil type materials. Stann drainage is a problem because of minimal and critical grade. · Need for feasibility report Where the City anticipates special assessments to fund all or portions of public improvements, feasibility reports are a mundatOlY procedure in the MS Chapter 429 process. Feasibility reports provide detailed information as to costs and design considerations. They also discuss potential assessment costs and the City's share ofthe project cost. Present policy calls for the City to assume a 20% share of the reconstmction cost. · Engineer's proposal Bolton and Menk has proposed consultant services for field topography, feasibility reporting and design at a total cost of $2, 100.00. Alley projects are usually designed and administered in-house. fn this case stuff feels the consultant is better able to coordinate alley constmction with proposed street improvements on both 12th and 13th Avenues because the consultant is already retained to design those pending improvements. Staff also finds the proposed fee to be reasonable and fair. . . Recommendation Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 98-85 and authOlizing an agreement with Bolton and Menk for consultant services. . 7 '(,v ------ 1445 1 I -- j- ~- SOl - - - - - - - - . - - - 270 .4 45 45 2 W 24 ;is"3 8 4 ~ 5 @ ~,' - - , , , 4 ( I) , ,-' 126.12 ~2.75 ~ , 8 J 26 -"'{ ?49) ~ 2p 9 " , , , . .".. ~ ~. ,1..' 124.44 1~ , 18'24. 53; 124.75: t7 4 f5 . \l 1ST 1 12 . 126 ( 102) 2(91) :t: S 2 126 t- 126 N ( 103) 3 rI - ~ J26 , "3 16 ~ 126 ~ , ... . , , 2 5~ 7 I~ ,'(g2) , 126 .......~ -- ! 4 (10.4) E30L- TOf'J & ~ E:f'J I<. f I ('.....Ie.
