BACKGROUND
On April 12, 2010 the City Council authorized the preparation of Signal Justification
Reports for the intersection of Lake Drive and Main Street and the intersection of Birch
Street and Ware Road. The draft reports have been forwarded to the Anoka County
Highway Department for review. Anoka County is the roadway authority responsible for
the approval of proposed signal systems. No final decision on the signal projects has
been made. However, in preparation for a potential election on the proposed
improvements, it is necessary to develop a project layout and cost estimates.
TKDA, the city's consulting engineer, has provided a proposal for professional services
to prepare a Concept Layout and Construction Estimate for both intersections. The
estimated cost for the reports are as follows:
LakeDrive /Main Street: Not to exceed $6,300 , billed on an hourly basis.
Birch Street/Ware Road: Not to exceed $8,100, billed on an hourly basis.
The cost difference between the two projects reflects Anoka County's design assistance
for the Lake and Main Street intersection. The total estimated cost for both reports is
$14,400.
No funding was programmed in the 2010 budget for the preparation of these reports.
The City Council will need to determine a funding source, such as the contingency fund.
If the projects proceed to construction and a permanent funding source is determined
the costs can then be reimbursed. With the approval of these reports the total cost
authorized to date is $24,400.
Preparation of the reports will be terminated immediately in the event that one or both
of the SJR's are not approved by Anoka County. Results of the reports will be shared
with the City's Bond Counsel and Financial Consultants to begin preparation of a ballot
question for the 2010 General Election. The Council will also need to begin discussion
• on the development of a public information process in preparation for an election if the
project moves forward.
