CC Regular Session 5.7. Meeting Date: 11 / 10/2020 By: Bruce Westby, Engineering/Public Works Information Title Adopt Resolution #20-258 Approving Cooperative Construction Agreement #1044547 for Bunker Lake Boulevard/CSAH 116 and Saint Francis Boulevard/TH 47 Intersection Improvements Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #20-258 approving Cooperative Construction Agreement #1044547 for the Bunker Lake Boulevard/County State Aid Highway 116 & Saint Francis Boulevard/Trunk Highway 47 Intersection Improvements. Background: 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), pavement striping, signing, and replacing the existing traffic control signal system with a new signal system. On October 27, 2020, City Council approved Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) #C0007856 that defined costs and certain responsibilities for Anoka County and the City of Ramsey related to the construction and maintenance of the proposed improvements. The City Council is now asked to approve attached Cooperative Construction Agreement (CCA) #1044547 between the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Anoka City, and the City of Ramsey, which supersedes and terminates Traffic Control Signal Maintenance Agreement #75315 associated with the existing signal system at this intersection. Public Works Superintendent Riemer has reviewed and approved the attached CCA. City Attorney Langel has also reviewed and approved the attached CCA. Approving attached CCA #1044547 will not obligate the City to any new costs related to operating and maintaining the traffic control signal system at this intersection. Observations/Alternatives: The City generally maintains separate maintenance agreements for all traffic control signal systems in Ramsey, which are owned by either Anoka County or MnDOT. City crews do not typically perform signal maintenance work. Instead, the City typically reimburses Anoka County or MnDOT on a quarterly basis for any maintenance work completed or directed by Anoka County or MnDOT.
