The project will include street and drainage improvements along and within the public right-of-way, with the type and <br />extent of the street improvement to be based upon a geotechnical services investigation of the existing pavement <br />sections and conditions. Existing storm sewer inspections will be conducted to identify storm sewer repairs or <br />corrections deemed necessary to restore or improve the existing roadway drainage. The neighborhood resides outside <br />of the City’s planned MUSA boundaries; therefore, no sanitary sewer extensions are planned with this Project. City <br />water is not available to the area and analysis of a possible extension is not included in the scope of services for this <br />project. <br />To initiate the improvement, the council must authorize the preparation of a feasibility report as required by the <br />statutory process for public improvements that are specially assessed. The feasibility report will advise on the scope of <br />recommended improvements; provide estimated project costs; identify easement and right-of-way, permits and other <br />requirements of other local agencies needed to implement the improvements; recommend whether the improvements <br />should be best made as proposed or in connection with some other improvement; and advise if the improvements are <br />necessary, cost effective, and feasible. The report will also provide a proposed preliminary assessment roll for each of <br />the benefitting properties based upon the City’s Special Assessment Policy for Local Improvements. <br />The City Engineer has prepared the project work plan and engineering services task order to initiate detailed <br />topographic survey and preliminary design for this Project. These preliminary design efforts are recommended for this <br />Project to better identify the specific infrastructure improvements that will be needed, before reliable costs and <br />proposed assessments can be determined and brought forward in the feasibility report. <br />Staff is recommending that the City authorize the City Administrator to sign a Task Order for Preliminary Design Services <br />and Preparation of a Feasibility Report with Bolton & Menk in the amount of $106,441. <br />The City Engineer is also recommending the City Council authorize the City Administrator authority to sign a <br />geotechnical services agreement in the amount not-to-exceed $25,000. Geotechnical Services will review the in-place <br />roadway structure and soil conditions and provide recommendations on proposed roadway improvements. The City <br />Engineer will request proposals from two firms and make a recommendation based when they are received. <br />A project schedule is attached and outlines the implementation timeframe necessary to address public involvement, <br />acquire field survey, identify and obtain project related easements, complete the detailed design, and receive contractor <br />bids to ready the improvements for construction in 2027. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />The 2026 – 2035 CIP has a budget for the project of $2,900,000 which draws from the following funding sources: <br />$1,711,000: Bond Proceeds – Tax Levy <br />$870,000: Bond Proceeds – Assessment Funded <br />$319,000: Infrastructure Reserve Fund (409) <br />All CIP funding sources are tentative and will be adjusted based on final project costs and future financial planning, <br />including the addition of funding from the Stormwater Fund per recent Council discussions. <br />If authorized, Bolton & Menk will complete topographic survey and preliminary design services in a not-to-exceed <br />amount of $83,625; City Engineering staff will be the engineering lead for all services and prepare the feasibility report in <br />a not-to-exceed amount of $22,816 and Geotechnical Services will be completed in a not-to-exceed amount of $25,000. <br />The total fiscal impact for Preliminary Design and Feasibility Report services is estimated to be $131,441.
