<br />NORTHSTAR COMMUTER RAIL <br />RAMSEY STATION <br />DRAFT <br />WORK PROGRAM <br /> <br />This Work Program has been prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. based on our understanding that <br />the Anoka County Regional Rail Authority (ACRRA) is looking to initiate engineering and environmental <br />services for the Ramsey Station. This station is within the project area ofthe currently proposed Northstar <br />Commuter Rail line from Minneapolis to Big Lake. Until the commuter line is constructed, this station will <br />continue to serve as park-and-rides. <br /> <br />The Ramsey Station was evaluated in the Northstar Corridor Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and <br />documented in the Record of Decision (ROD). A project memorandum was also prepared for a proposed <br />commuter coach facility in Ramsey. However, the site initially proposed and evaluated is different than the <br />current recommended site location. <br /> <br />The purpose of this work is to update previous analysis and conduct new analyses so this station can be <br />constructed. <br /> <br />lUMSEY STATION <br /> <br />Task 1.0 - Proiect.Mana!!ement <br /> <br />The project team will attend up to four (4) meetings. with the NCDA to present findings, and up to two (2). <br />meetings with the City ofRatru.>ey to brief on project status. KHA will document and distribute minutes for <br />each of these meetings. In addition, this task Will provide overall project management; including monthly <br />~eports summarizing the previous month's activities, <br /> <br />Task 2.0 - Preliminary Enlrineering <br /> <br />The Ramsey Station was previously designed to the preliminary engineering level during 2000-200l. <br />However, this design was completed on a different station site. The effort for this work plan is to update the <br />station design to the current NorthStar design standards. In addition, the City of Ramsey has constructed a <br />parking structure adjacent to the station site. In addition, the PE will include any adjustments to the station to <br />accommodate the current plans for BNSF improvements in this area. This station design will be similar to <br />the Coon Rapids-Riverdale Station in that it will have a pedestrian overpass across the BNSF tracks to access. <br />in the inbound platform. <br /> <br />It is anticipated that the following drawings will be provided: Existing conditions and demolition plan; site <br />plan; grading and drainage plan; utility plan; landscape plan; platform details, and other details as required. <br />The plans will be developed to a 30 percent design level. An engineer's cost estimate will be prepared based <br />on the development of these plans. <br /> <br />In addition, a review of the potential to construct a pedestrian link from the station to the existing Ramsey <br />parking structure. This review will include conceptual engineering and costs to evaluate whether this is a <br />viable alternative. <br /> <br />~-n Kimley.Horn <br />a.....J_U and Associates, Inc. <br /> <br />Page 1 on <br /> <br />3120/2008 <br /> <br />-47- <br />
