Resolution No. 06 -120, Authorizing
Comprehensive Plan Update Consultant
Contract with DSU, Inc.
Simple Majority
The City of Lino Lakes is required to update its Comprehensive Plan to meet the
requirements of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act and the information in the Met
Council system statement for the City. The plan update is due in 2008. The City began
the initial steps of the planning process with the completion of the Community Survey in
the spring of this year.
City staff has requested a proposal for professional services from DSU, Inc. to lead the
Comprehensive Planning effort. DSU is one of the premier land use planning firms in
the upper midwest and has extensive knowledge of Lino Lakes based on their
involvement in the I -35E Corridor AUAR. DSU has proposed a Comprehensive Plan
Update process that supports and integrates the Community Visioning Process being
directed by Carl Neu. The process is also designed to complement and conform with
the development of a Resource Management Plan staff is pursuing separately with Rice
Creek Watershed District.
The DSU planning team also includes the services of SRF Consulting Group and
TKDA. SRF completed the City's 2001 Transportation Plan, and is involved in several
transportation studies in the Lino Lakes area including Mn /DOT's 1 -35 Interregional
Corridor Study, CSAH 14 Reconstruction Project, CSAH 14/35E Concept and
Preliminary Design. The City also recently retained the services of SRF to complete a
transportation cost allocation model for the 35E corridor. TKDA is the City's engineer
and will be teaming with DSU to complete the sanitary sewer, water and surface water
management components of the plan.
The process is proposed to begin immediately with the Inventory and Analysis work and
result in the submittal of the plan update to Met Council, for formal review, in January of
2008. DSU proposes to complete the work program for an estimated $216,785
including expenses. All billings will be based on an actual time plus materials basis. As
an optional service SRF has proposed the development of a City wide Transportation
Cost Allocation Model for an additional $15,804.
• The project is proposed to be funded by the City's General fund, Trunk Utility and
Surface Water Management Fund. In anticipation of the plan update the City has
previously budgeted and set aside funds in 2005 and 2006 for this purpose. Additional
general fund dollars will be required in 2007 and 2008. City staff will also continue to
seek other potential funding sources including the Met Council's Local Planning
Assistance Loan Program.
RECOMMENDATION:
Given the considerable involvement of the consultant team with previous city planning
initiatives it is staff's opinion that the approval DSU proposal will result in a cost
effective and stream Tined planning process.
Staff is recommending approval of the Comprehensive Plan Update consultant services
contract with DSU, Inc., including the additional development of a Transportation Cost
Allocation Model.
