on the agenda is item six our citizen comments there's anyone in attendance wishing to speak please feel free to do so at this time all right seeing none we will move on to item seven which is our consent agenda I'd seek a motion to approve the consent agenda motion to approve motion by Nick second by Steve all in favor say I hi all right item 121 under new business is Professional Services agreement with align engineering Incorporated for the 2025 Street Improvement final design and bidding John thank you mayor please give me a moment to get my presentation brought up through past action a feasibility report has been prepared for the 2025 Street Improvement project the project location included these streets Sunnyside Fair viiew Centennial Drive Centennial Court and Sunnyside Circle those streets are Illustrated in yellow excuse me on the attached on the uh map that's been displayed here Ash Street is on the North End of the project and Highway 3 is a short distance to the east this is directly south of the Sixth Street project that was completed last year the schedule uh to dat has included three neighborhood meetings and open houses ordering the feasibility report in this evening we're asking Council to consider approval of the final design and bidding the first open house is usually gaining background information that's really getting information from the property owners is to what channel es or concerns they have and then we try to address those through concept development and the third open house a lot of the illustrations the intersections the culdesac were sent out with the third openhouse invitation to get reaction and uh primarily the reaction has been you know if you're narrowing the streets or re re um configuring an intersection just make sure that you know emergency vehicles can get through there and that's a baseline of our design so that's not a problem so the proposed scope of roadways the existing roadways are 36 feet between the curb faces we're proposing and recommending a 32t between the curb faces the benefits of this include storm water runoff being reduced um new no new storm water treatment is proposed as we have very little space in the RightWay and easements to put ponds or rain Gardens or anything like that so reduction of the impervious surface means there's more Turf area and we get more infiltration before it hits the roadway long-term maintenance costs are reduced less surface to seal crackville snow plow Etc um on this particular project we do have some steep driveway gr driveway grades so the additional length to the roadway gives us more space to flatten out the slopes in the driveway um and then finally it's a visual cu to drivers to reduce speeds based on narrower roadways and it says narrower but this is really our standard 32 ft um but one of the issues and concerns that we did uh he expressed in those early meetings was speeding and non-compliance with stop signs so the roadway this is just a graphical illustration the top being 36 ft face to face and the bottom being 32 ft face to face between the curb ins set a is the pavement section which is our typical section 12 in of usually a sand uh subgrade 8 in aggregate base and then 4 in of pinus between base and wear that is consistent with the recommendations and the geotechnical report in the that was prepared along with the replacing the roadways slightly narrower we looked at a few areas in particular uh this is the Centennial Drive intersection um with Fairview Lane and prior the way it exists now is it's kind of a lot of pavement out there there's not a clear right of way or or T intersection so uh what we're trying to do with this and you can see where the existing curve line is is we're trying to create a a definite intersection there so it's very clear who has the right away and who may be turning additionally we are looking at uh trying to reduce uh the pavement areas uh one of the questions we had about this configuration is uh what will happen then to their driveways and whatnot those will all be extended to the new curb line so we're not going to stop it'll be extended in the new curve Line This was uh an attempt to reduce the hard surface in increase infiltration yet still provide a culdesac that meets our design standards this is another version uh that we explored uh creating essentially a longer Island um versus a a bubble type culdesac uh we haven't had specific responses from all the property owners on these culdesac so we will be reaching out to them to see if they have any concerns before we proceed with the final design on these so they're very clear as to what might be happening in front of their houses and then this is the um I guess bulge or or bump out um uh this creates an island uh of turf and actually we have a catch Basin in that Turf area so uh we can tip the flow to the center one of the challenges on a culdesac is when you have a crown roadway and it all runs to the curb line then having that slope to carry it all the way around the surface on along the curb line and if we pitch it to the center that gives us more flexibility and we can improve improve that slope and run off we also looked at sidewalks and trails uh the 2019 bike and ped plan showed an on uh proposed on Street Bikeway as an ongoing project along Sunnyside and then East along Centennial Drive to Highway 3 bike Lanes typically for oneway travel so if we want Lanes we have to have one on each side preferred width is 5 to 7 ft measured from the edge of the gutter pan so even with the existing Road of 36 ft 33 ft is between the gutter pans so if we take out the 25ft bike Lanes it only be 23 ft wide which is inadequate in addition to that the new bike Lanes would have to cross two intersections about 20 driveways and we would have to align a bike lane through that bump out and uh so we may have either two additional driveways or if we didn't put an island in there we'd be running a bike Lane right through an area where Vehicles could be coming in and out um not attractive options uh widening the pavement or installing a separated Trail or sidewalks is not feasible just from the amount of RightWay we have and the existing grades out there so from a storm sew standpoint another uh concern we had a lot of feedback on was drainage and usually that goes hand inand similar to Sixth Street the road's not draining the water's sitting on the roadway and it's essentially rotting the pavement and that's creating premature deterioration thankfully we were able to add storm sewer as shown in red here and uh increase the number of catch basins and get the run off off the pavement quicker instead of running it along a lengthy curb line and then maybe even around a curb or around a curve or through a valley gutter which is those concrete drainage ways that cross the roadway those are not preferred so if we take the center lines and and match those as long as we have catch basins on the sides we can take care of the drainage so we've eliminated a couple of um Valley gutters as part of this approach also and then this is the South End where we've we proposing additional storms through at the very south end of the project so for the recommendation of the water board all the 6in water M will be replaced and the main on sunyside Drive will be replaced with a 12in ductal iron pipe uh the remainder will be 8 in sanitary sewer uh was proposed to be lined under a separate contract as part of the 2025 sewer lining project Turf and trees 47 trees including Ash are expected to removed as part of the project uh we'll also include some tree pruning So based on your action tonight uh we would have the natural resource Specialists go out Mark the trees well before construction's going to start so Property Owners can have a look at them ask questions make appointments with Ben uh to get more information on maybe why a tree is or isn't being taken out if it's an as it's being taken out because it's an asry but there's a lot of others that are mature that are right on the edge of the road and they won't survive a construction project and we don't want unsafe trees when we're done this area similar to uh six and maple will be a we'll have a future tree planning contract so uh Ben humbley our natural resource specialist is right now working on a planting plan for six and maple that he'll be doing some Outreach with the property owners on so we'll get some trees back in there all Disturbed areas will be restored with top soil inside one thing we have on this uh project in frequent area a number of them are outw walks so if there's an outwalk coming from the house we'll replace the outwalk all the way out to the new curve line and again it'll be further away so I'll have more room to work and and take up that slope if they are steeper in the CIP we had a $3 million uh um Target uh with the identified funding sources bonds primarily for the roadway sewer storm water and water fund based on the feasibility report uh we are over that uh but with this number 3.8 million still includes the 10% contingency and includes 18% for indirect costs which I don't think we're going to reach that 18% on this project um so based on going through the final design we'll have a final estimated cost uh if we need to narrow the scope we can narrow the scope and uh essentially take a part of the project and put it onto a future project or allocate funding and look at next year's project to see where we'd make that up and I make those comments with knowing that I have to talk to the finance director and work through all that for so I'm not implying approval by anything I say here we have to work through that still so based on the estimated cost the funding sources would be as identified um the water trunk fund is included because we do have a 12-in dip water main which per our policy is a trunk water main so we can use the trunk water fund for that um based on approval this evening uh plans and specifications would come back in about a month uh for a bid opening in early April and contract Awards so we'd be looking to have a preon in April and then the other thing we do is once we have the contractor on board we have a neighborhood meeting with the contractor so the property owners can meet them before they're dropping off equipment and things like that and it takes a city out of the middle of conversations they may have about okay how are are you handling trash how are you handling other things they're responsible for that but they're talking directly with the property owners and starting to build that relationship before something happens on site where it's you know a tense relationship um substantial completion would be the end of September with final mid October and then our two-year warranty would be October of 2027 now if the final payment isn't processed until December of 2 then the 2-year warranty ends two years after that December of 2027 so it's two years from the final payment project scope unless directed otherwise final design would incorporate the scope presented this evening including the roadway narrowing intersection realignment culdesac treatments trunk and lateral water main replacement and storm sewer with that the requested action is to approve the Professional Service agreement for final design with Alliance engineering Inc final design and bidding assistance also I'd be happy to respond to any questions thank you sir Steve you know John I just really uh primarily have a couple of comments I've actually heard from a couple of residents out here that are uh really excited and really appreciative that this is going to be going on I know that you know council member Cordis used to live in this area too um so I I'm really excited about this project you know for those residents out there uh I did have a different resident too I don't know if this individual was at the meeting but the kind of concept to circle circle on Centennial Court um was not this resident's preferred option and that kind of the typical bubble that one or right was not too liked that particular concept but did not like concept to so that person showed up at the meeting I think we did have some feedback on one of the concepts but we we made it we intentionally sent those out with the notice so you know we were trying to solicit that feedback but before we move ahead with either concept we want to be sure we have a response one way or the other from the property owners on these culde acts and we do have some flexibility here we have two options um we don't want them to have a concern safety concern they've been used to driving into a the sa that looked a certain way and if there's a lot of concern with regard to that uh we would put that in the final design and make sure we highlight that uh when you approve the plans yeah and lastly I appreciate that and lastly um I think the deviation from our um bike and ped plan is makes sense in this area the neighborhood really wasn't built to accommodate you know without the sidewalks Trails it wouldn't make sense for um pedestrian safety bike safety and cars also so thank you mayor and council members and I did talk to the park and recreation director about that and she understands the recommendation yep that's all thank you Jake uh no questions for me just a few comments um like member Wilson said I lived in that neck of the woods for several years my grandma still lives in that neighborhood I have other family members and friends who live in that neighborhood and like Steve said they're excited to have this done as and as someone who frequents that neighborhood to visit family and friends I'm excited to not drive through uh roads no offense but their PCI scores are not uh the greatest um so I think there's a lot of excitement around this project and then in general the um Centennial and fair viiew intersection um kind of straightening that out I think personally have after having seen several uh incidents over the years in that or near incidents in that intersection um I think it'll be a good thing to straighten it out and provide a little more clarity on who has the right of way and and what the heck is actually going on there so thank you excited about this project May mayor if I might Jake brought up a comment that I actually did have a question about so is it going to be assumed at that Fair View and sunny side that there is a kind of a a know by the average driver or is there going to be a yield sign put there um at T seem logical you you know you could kind of presume what the average driver might do but at this intersection it would be assumed that Centennial would be the through and fa fa viiew would be the stop condition okay um it's a T intersection typically we wouldn't have to put a stop sign there but because this is a change and it's making sure that people I understand stop signs assigned right away you know as most they're not for slowing traffic or anything they're assign right away essentially and when we're making a change like this I think we'll go the extra step of making sure that people know that that's a stop condition there all right thank you sorry you're good H um nothing that hasn't already been addressed I mean first thank you so much for making it easy to understand things that uh are beyond the scope of what I would normally process on daily information so your thoroughness is is deeply appreciated I also really love how like there's so many aspects to this that I don't think residents necessarily realize or paid attention to right the the side benefit of narrowing the road is that people naturally feel the inclination to slow down a little bit um it's not always the case that you're going to keep everything you want to keep be that the bike path or the or the trees but the improvements can't um you can't make an argument for not for not going through the process of making those improvements and doing it right can you explain a little bit better for people that are looking at this and aren't familiar with the difference between the proposed funding sources and the estimated project scope it looks like we had yeah we had some indications on where money was going to come from and where it could come from now can you just in layman's terms a little bit for the person looking at that's saying well you said it was going to be 3 million or we hoped it would be 3 million now we're at 3.8 how how do we handle that like what happens in that I know you touched on it but just with a little bit more clarity yes mayor and council members I I would start off with we we tend to over scope these a little bit because it's much easier to pull back on the scope than okay we've got $500,000 that we we were allocated for a project and we're not going to get it done so we'd prefer to pull back on the scope so the street work is primarily General obligation bonds that's the debt the city issues and we have a five-year Street reconstruction plan that we review each of those years and allocate funding for that purpose on these projects sanitary sewer is paid by the sanitary sewer fund uh storm sewer similarly by the storm sewer fund as is water the trunk water fund is for um water main over 8 in in diameter and that was identified in the feasibility report as to how we Define laterals and Trunks the water trunk fund is different than the regular water fund uh so we use that for oversizing uh we also use that to uh reimburse developers if they oversize a public main because they pay for up toate inch and then we will usually give a credit to their um utility developer fees for the oversizing and so what we'll do is um as we go through the final design if we come back with the engineers estimate prior to bidding and it's still way over then we may decide to take um a section of the project and put it on a future uh project instead of this one so we would identify we wouldn't do you know the culd ACT are probably Sunny Side probably the south end of the project is what would get left off if we have to cut the budget or we do this project and I work with the finance director and we reduce the scope of next year such that we don't exceed our general obligated uh Bond funding but then we don't want to keep going up and down every year we have a Target but we do have some flexibility from year to year if we're a little over or if we're a little under I appreciate that I think you know one of the things that we've talked about as as a council before is that kicking of the can right that these are things that need to be done and all of the things that need to be done to maintain our community standards for what it is we want our residents to have every aspect of that takes money sometimes the estimates are exciting and we're happy when they come in under and sometimes they they come in over but um you know it for me it's just that reality that we we can delay something and move it but you can't just forget that it's there or you can't pretend that the need doesn't exist there always has to be that continued process of these things have to be done in the same way that we all have to maintain our own homes and you can defer maintenance for only so long before it becomes a problem so I appreciate all of that thank you thank you and that's why we look at the CIP on an annual basis in the 5year street reconstruction plan in case we need to move things and the preferred option as we've gone through all this and we've had the public in input would be to even if it comes in a little over move ahead with this project assuming I can work with the finance director and and make sure funding can be allocated and the next years we just reduce a little bit so I'm good okay um I was trying to find if I just missed it but with respect to like the bike and ped plan this is the first time I think I've ever seen us run into a situation where we talked about taking a bike lane out or even had it in part of the discussion what was do you have any insight into like the bigger picture what was supposed to go on in that neighborhood was it all supposed to kind of feed into 220th basically or uh the bike mayor and council members the bike and ped plan just showed uh on Street bikeways sunny side down to Centennial I think it was a way to get from Ash Street over to Highway 3 where I think there's an extension to the east shown in the bike and ped plan okay uh but we do look at that that's one of our reference documents um that when we have a project we want to be sure that we're looking at all the plans that we've prepared and taking care of things if we can if there's Ada improvements and things like that uh but here um we just didn't have the space for it uh to create either separated sidewalks separated Trails or an on street bike way I understand I guess my question is more in the topic of say it wasn't prohibitive down the road in a different project does does reconstruction dictate that you have to add say like a bike lane in at that time or is that kind of at a discretion thing if is you ought to adopt at that time no it's not required uh but we do you know that bike and ped plan was prepared not that long ago with a lot of thoughtful process that went into it so we want to respect the effort that went into that and the conclusions reached at the time but then that is always something that needs to be reconsidered as part of each individual project so we're not obligated except from an ada standpoint Ada we have to do any Ada corrections as part of the project but um the bike and ped plan that's a decision you have the discretion of including that or not including that but they at least tried to make a commitment that said like when we come along we'll try our best to put bike Lanes in here in fitting with that basically not just like leave space for it and then we'll do bike and pet as a separate project you know coming along in painting Lanes later kind of thing it all be one project basically right right if we were uh to try and do it as part of this project we would have to do some roadway widening um and we would do it as part of the project we when we go through here we don't want to leave anything to the future if we're going to do it we're going to do it now if we're not going to do it it's not going to get done this part of the project that that was kind of my question is was the bikeing plan like the bike Lanes would that be its own kind of thing where we tackle like the whole city and doing bike Lanes across the city as as one monolith or just piece meal like we're doing here as we repair the roads we add them into places where they can fit yep um we do have uh some roadways that are wide enough so if it calls for a bike lane we don't have to do any widening it'd be very easy to stripe those in uh but as part of a system plan and we work with Parks and Recreation on that uh to make sure that we had continuity and that we're not just striping and then leaving folks with nowhere to go that's kind of what my think was if you just added like one street at a time you got one street with the bely and then nothing else around it right trying to figure out how you would balance these things out to kind of come out with a cohesion and plan and that kind of thing so yeah we want to start and an end if we're going to do something like that and not leave people hanging I don't have any objection to it with what you're saying to why it's restrictive for here I'm just trying to get that piece in my head a little bit so for the sometime in the future here not a whole lot to add to what my peers have already stated um getting the te more formulated at Fair viiew uh and Centennial is key I mean that has been a nuisance intersection for as long as I've been around the community um whether it's a stop sign on Fair View and you know thway on Centennial or even a three-way just some type of control there um the other part you know like I I knew going through there years ago that you just the roads sit low right like there's everybody's driveway goes up so you knew that unless you were putting in retaining walls across everybody's um front yard you were going to end up with a a slop and grade issue and I guess the the only concern question I have is have we engaged the school district yet with any type of proposal on reducing the road widths and the reason reason I ask is if we're reducing the road widths most of that area I believe is still walking to FES it's not bust there may be some areas that are bust but I believe most of that is still within walking distance if we're going to reduce the roads and not have sidewalks um it'd be interesting to hear what the school district's response would be about adding busing in that area just because you had a vehicle parked on both side of the road from April through November not counting the summer when they're out of school for child safety and pedestrian safety just one more thing to to think about and um yeah just that I would ask to engage with the district and give them the option to start looking at the following school year as offering busing um because I could see that as being a potential issue for especially kindergarteners first graders the young young ones outside of that I love it I love the design I it's long overdue long overdue so thank you sir I appreciate it certainly uh with that I'd seek a motion to approve the Professional Services agreement with Alliant engineering Incorporated for the 2025 Street Improvement final design and bidding so moved second motion by Jake second by Steve call the role please council member Bernat yes council member ctis yes council member lean yes council member Wilson yes mayor Hoy yes thank you thank you sir All Right Round Table you get to start good evening mayor members of the council since the police chief outdid me last time with the top theater comment decided to try give another try see Chief so in honor of the Super Bowl coming on Sunday today Minnesota Vikings great Fran tkon is 85 years old it's his birthday today so um and for people who don't know like me who's not a native Minnesotan I had to look these things up um he played for the Vikings from 1961 to 66 and 1972 to 78 he went to three Super Bowls and bonus points to anybody you can tell me his nickname scramblin Fran because he was recently quoted as saying that Patrick Mahomes doesn't do anything that he didn't do with the scrambling around on the but I would say Patrick Mahomes has won the Super Bowl and anark went three times didn't which is you know kind of a through the heart thing but um so and because I need a legal connection to this I do have to say that um future at the time Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Alan paage was a teammate of yeah Fran T so there you go good segue there there you go well done Nick I believe Paul cross the Dakota County chair or commissioner was also the same years wasn't he not a Vikings fan one the random Vikings fact I mean that's all I had to contribute to this that was my R to okay good H all right I'm going to talk a little bit about Valentine's Day whether you love it or you think it's a Hallmark holiday it's a great opportunity that if you are interested in spoiling your sweetheart you can do it locally so just you know top of Mind remember that there are lots of establishments lots of businesses in Farmington um that would love to be patronized if that's something that you participate in so while it's perfect perfectly fine to go elsewhere I don't know keep your eyes on Farmington and see what's here for your sweetheart thank you Jake I do not think I can do any better than those so I will pass tonight oh but you could I I don't think I can Steve I have no comments either our next city council meeting will be on February 8th because uh Monday the 17th is President's Day or 18th I'm sorry we'll see you in five days well President's Day is on the 17th and our yeah right yes our meeting is on February 18th messed that one up all good nothing for me thanks nothing John thank you mayor uh with the mild weather aside from the cold snap uh that means we've between Public Works and I know Park and W is doing a similar effort we're able to get some trees out uh continuing our EAB management implementation so that's good news also the um well abandonment contract we've already talked to a well driller and I believe the option of accessing the wells pulling the top off and then doing the the video and Gamal
