Letters were mailed to business and property owners on January 28th notifying them of the proposed street reconstructions in Business Park 95. Only one response has been received to date, which generally stated that they approved of the project but did not approve of extending McKinley Street to the east and constructing a cul-de-sac as this was a waste of taxpayer money in their opinion. Notification: If Council approves plans and specifications and authorizes advertising for bids, bids will be advertised on Friday March 26, and again on Friday, April 2, both in the City's official newspaper, the Anoka Union Herald, and in Finance & Commerce. Observations/Alternatives: Motion to adopt Resolution #21-060 approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids for Business Park 95 Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project #21-03. Funding Source: Funding for this improvement is proposed to come from the Pavement Management Fund, Stormwater Utility Fund, Public Improvement Revolving Fund (if Council awards the alternate bid on April 27th), plus $250,000 of the budgeted 2020 sealcoat funds that were reallocated to overlay the streets in Business Park 95, which were ultimately deemed unfit to overlay and must instead be reconstructed. Staff has estimated project costs for the proposed improvements based on the final plans and anticipated 2021 construction costs at $1,432,846.43, which includes 23-percent indirect costs for administrative, engineering, finance, and legal costs. A breakdown of the base bid and alternate bid project costs is below. • Base Street Project Costs $ 1,106,461.01 • Base Storm Sewer Project Costs $ 124,049.19 • Alt CDS Street Project Costs $ 139,354.08 • Alt CDS Storm Sewer Project Costs $ 62,982.15 • Total Estimated Project Cost $1,432, 846.43 Recommendation: Staff recommends adopting Resolution #21-060 approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisements for bids for Business Park 95 Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project #21-03. The Public Works Committee reviewed the Business Park 95 Street Reconstructions project on March 16, 2021 and recommended that the City Council approve the plans and authorize advertisements for bids. The committee recommended the alternate bid be paid for with Public Improvement Revolving (PIR) Funds since this work involves construction of a new street and cul-de-sac and not maintenance of existing pavement, which is what the Pavement Management Funds are intended for. Additionally the committee recommended approaching the City of Anoka to discuss a future street connection via McKinley Street. Action: Adopt Resolution #21-010 approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisements for bids for Business Park 95 Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project #21-03.
