Monday, May 13th, and will again present a summary of the comments received during the Council meeting. Council should also be aware that staff intends to meet with plan holders in early June to discuss options for minimizing the duration of road closures and traffic detours in response to comments received from local businesses and residents. Staff will then meet again with area businesses and residents to present any findings as a result of the plan holders meeting. Then at the time staff requests the City Council to accept bids and award a contract, any new developments can be discussed with Council including revisions to construction staging plans, road closures and detours, project schedule, etc. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 13-05-079 accepting plans and specifications and authorizing advertising for bids for Riverdale Drive Reconstruction and Extension; City Improvement Project 12-22. Funding Source: The current estimated construction cost is just over $3.1 million, including % for indirect costs and 10% for contingency costs. The estimated fund amounts and sources are as follows: $702,000 Cooperative Agreement Grant $1,639,830 MSA Fund $217,800 Sewer Fund $560,370 Water Fund $3,120,000 Total Engineering was completed using in-house staff with some assistance from Hakanson Anderson. Construction administration (staking, inspections, etc.) is proposed to be completed using city staff. There will be costs for material testing but these costs, along with a few other outstanding project costs, are as yet undefined but will be estimated and presented to Council at the time Council is asked to award a construction contract. As was noted in the Feasibility Report, the city received a $702,000 grant to help in the funding of the reconstruction and extension of Riverdale Drive from Armstrong Blvd (CSAH83) to Traprock Street, but the grant requires the city to award a construction contract by June 30th, 2013. A Memorandum of Understanding and Easements is also required between the city of Ramsey, Anoka County, and the private property owners of the lands that the extension of Riverdale will encumber. The draft MOU is presented in a separate case in the consent agenda. The MOU outlines the terms associated with the provision of easements for the extension of Riverdale Drive as it crosses these properties. Anoka County noted in their plan review response letter that the city will need to purchase roadway easements across their property. At this time these costs are unknown, but staff will work with the County and will present the easement purchase costs at the time Council is asked to award a construction contract. Council Action: Motion to adopt Resolution 13-05-079 accepting Plans and Specifications and authorizing Advertisement for Bids for Riverdale Drive Reconstruction and Extension: City Improvement Project 12-22.
