CC Regular Session 5. 12. Meeting Date: 10/27/2020 By: Bruce Westby, Engineering/Public Works Information Title Adopt Resolution #20-247 Approving Joint Powers Agreement for Bunker Lake Boulevard/County State Aid Highway 116 & Saint Francis Boulevard/Trunk Highway 47 Intersection Improvements Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #20-247 Approving Anoka County Joint Powers Agreement #C0007856 for the Bunker Lake Boulevard/County State Aid Highway 116 & Saint Francis Boulevard/Trunk Highway 47 Intersection Improvements. Background: Proposed Improvements To improve operations and safety for traffic at the intersection of Bunker Lake Boulevard/ County State Aid Highway 116 (CSAH 116) & Saint Francis Boulevard/Trunk Highway 47 (TH 47), Anoka County is proposing to construct improvements in 2021 on CSAH 116 between 250 feet east of Tower Pond Drive and 1,200 feet east of Trunk Highway 47, and on TH 47 between Coolidge Street NW and 142nd Avenue NW. The proposed improvements generally include the construction of new turn lanes and concrete median islands, extending existing turn lanes, reconstructing the existing concrete bridge deck, reconstructing several bituminous trail segments and concrete pedestrian curb ramps, milling and overlaying existing bituminous pavement sections (through lanes, turn lanes and shoulders), constructing a new traffic control signal system, and striping and signing. Anoka County has prepared attached Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) #C0007856 to clearly define the responsibilities of both Anoka County and the City of Ramsey as related to the construction and maintenance of the proposed improvements. Exhibit A of the attached JPA shows the overall scope of the proposed improvements. Funding/Cost Breakdown Total construction costs for the proposed improvements are estimated to be $3,388,818.51. The City of Ramsey's total cost share for the improvements is $62,502.72 based on estimated project costs as outlined in the italicized text below, which was copied from page 5 of the JPA. Federal funds originally available for the Project were capped at $1,868,000.00. Those funds were reallocated. This amount of federal funding will now be covered by Anoka County and will be referenced herein as `A/C replacement federal funds." The A/C replacement federal funds are split based on the ratio of the eligible cost incurred by each party to the total eligible project cost. Eligible costs were the costs of items that could participate in A/C replacement federal funding as shown on Exhibit B. The total estimated construction cost to the City is $119,817.00 (prior to application of the A/C replacement federal funds that are available). After the A/C replacement federal funds percentage is applied, the cost to the City for their share of the construction items of the Project is $52,917.36 ($119,817.00 minus $66,899.64, which are the A/C federal funds that are available to the City).
