Services will be extended as needed along the corridors. The City will televise the existing sanitary sewer lines in the areas during the design phase of the project. • Storm Sewer will be installed along the corridors, with connections made to the existing systems in Armstrong Boulevard and Bunker Lake Boulevard. We will work with the City to determine storm water treatment needs for the proposed improvements. The City will televise the existing storm sewer lines in the areas during the design phase of the project. • Right -of -Way and/or easements will be required for the project. New Right -of -Way (ROW) will be required for the Ferret Street extension. ROW and easements may be required along Bunker Lake Boulevard, depending upon the final scope of the improvements. • State Aid formatted plans and specifications, will not be required for the project. • Traffic Control will be designed per the Field Manual for Temporary Traffic Control Zone Layouts, and no project specific traffic control layouts will be created. The Traffic Control and Staging plans listed above will provide guidance to allow the contractor to prepare detailed plans for submittal and review. • The City will forward existing plans and record drawings for the corridor for use in creation of the base drawings. • On-line bidding through QuestCDN will be used for procurement of bids, with the on-line bid opening facilitated at Bolton & Menk' s Ramsey office location. • Construction related services such as staking, administration and observation are not included in this proposal. A separate proposal can be submitted once the extent and timing of the improvements is finalized. BUNKER LAKE BOULEVARD Ferret Street is proposed to connect to Bunker Lake Boulevard. The Future Business Park report, completed in 2015, provided recommendations for the long-term configuration of the roadway. A right- in/right-out access is depicted near the proposed connection of Ferret Street to Bunker Lake Boulevard. A full access is shown to the west of the proposed access location. See attached figures 5 and 8 from that study for reference. The report was prepared prior to significant development in the area and included assumptions of businesses with high traffic volumes being developed in the area. We are proposing to update the traffic analysis completed with the study as a portion of this proposal. Recommendations from a traffic study update could include: • Allow for right-in/right-out connection, • Allow for right-in/right-out connection with addition of an eastbound right turn lane, • Allow for full access with creation of westbound left turn lane in median, • Allow for full access with creation of westbound left turn lane in median and additional long-term improvements to Bunker Lake Road. This proposal assumes minor improvements to Bunker Lake Boulevard to allow for the connection of Ferret Street. Depending upon the outcome of the traffic study, additional improvements to Bunker Lake Bolton & Menk is an equal. opportunity employer.
