WS — Item 3 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 3 <br />Date: July 2, 2012 <br />To: City Council <br />From: Michael Grochala <br />Re: Traffic Signal Project update <br />Background <br />TKDA is nearing completion of design for the Lake /Main and Birch/Ware Intersection <br />Improvement projects. The tentative schedule is as follows: <br />Approve Plans & Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids - July 25 <br />Bid Opening — August 30 <br />Award Contract — September 10 <br />Start Construction — October 1st <br />Construction Complete — June 2013 <br />It is likely that the majority of roadwork will be completed in the fall and the signals <br />installed during the winter. Final restoration will be completed in the spring of 2013. <br />Anoka County is still in the right -of -way acquisition process. This will need to be <br />completed prior to award of the contract. <br />The city engineer has initiated contact with property owners along Sioux Lane and Hokah <br />Drive to discuss the improvements and potential impacts to adjacent yards. We will <br />likely schedule a more general informational meeting following selection of a contractor <br />for the project. <br />Staff will be available at the meeting to address any council questions or comments. <br />Council Direction <br />None required. <br />
