MOTION As part of Consent Agenda
AGENDA ITEM: Engineering Design and Construction Standards Manual – Resolution to
Adopt Manual
SUBMITTED BY: Jack Griffin, City Engineer
THROUGH: Dean A. Zuleger, City Administrator
REVIEWED BY: Mike Bouthilet, Public Works
Kyle Klatt, Planning Director
Ryan Stempski, Assistance City Engineer
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The City Council is respectfully requested to
consider approving Resolution No. 2013-09, adopting the Engineering Design and Construction
Standards Manual.
STAFF REPORT: In preparation for upcoming development, the city engineering staff has
prepared and developed engineering design standards, standard specifications, and standard
details for public infrastructure within the city, including streets, sanitary sewer, watermain,
storm water facilities, right-of-way and boulevard layout. This information has been compiled
into an Engineering Design and Construction Standards Manual for use by staff and the
development community.
The standards have been established to set minimum requirements to be met for all public
infrastructure projects in the city in the spirit of promoting consistent infrastructure systems
throughout the community; to clearly communicate with the development community these
minimum expectations and requirements; and to expedite plan design, preparation and city plan
review and approvals. The standards are not intended to be all inclusive and shall be used as a
design guide, thereby allowing exceptions to these standards to be considered on a case by case
basis when deemed appropriate for a specific application.
This manual will be a living document that is reviewed and updated annually by the Engineering,
Planning and Public Works Departments to ensure they remain current, address best practices,
and consider improvements recommended by the development community and other
stakeholders.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council consider approving
Resolution 2013-09 Adopting the Engineering Design and Construction Standards Manual.
