BACKGROUND: Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 429.011 to 429.111, a Public Improvement Hearing was noticed for November 19, 2024, to consider making the improvement necessary for the connection to City water and sanitary sewer to the Oak-Land Middle School, and connection to City sewer to the new Lake Elmo Elementary School. The attached notice was published in the official newspaper and individual notifications were sent to each address that will be wholly or partially assessed for the improvements. A feasibility report was accepted by the City Council on October 15, 2024 in order to ready these improvements for 2025 construction. The feasibility report is needed to meet state statutory requirements if any portion of the project is to be assessed. The report identifies the necessary improvements, the estimated project costs, the assessment methodology and preliminary assessment amounts to be levied against benefitting properties. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: The s Stillwater Area School District Utility Improvements proposes the extension of City utilities to accommodate the requested water and sanitary sewer connections for the 2 school sites. The improvements include the following: • Extension of gravity sanitary sewer to the Oakland Middle School property, from the existing RGC lift station located at Palmer Drive and 10th Street (to be City owned/maintained). • Extension of 12-inch watermain to the Oakland Middle School property, from the intersection of Palmer Drive and 10th Street (to be City owned/maintained). • Construction of a new 4,200 LF, 8-inch forcemain along 10th Street, from the existing RGC lift station located at Palmer Drive to Lake Elmo Avenue. Abandon the existing 6-inch forcemain in place. • Construction of a new 3,100 LF, 10-inch forcemain along Lake Elmo Avenue, from 10th Street to an existing gravity sewer at Lake Elmo Avenue and 5th Street. • The school district would be required to make private utility extensions on each school site as needed to connect to the public water and sewer improvements. The total estimated project cost is $1,752,000. For water and sanitary sewer improvements, 100% of the project is assessed to the benefitting properties. Project costs were apportioned based on the Residential Equivalent (REC) Units. In addition to the Oak-Land Middle School and new Elementary School properties, there is one additional benefitting property located at 11817 10th Street North. To proceed with the improvements, the City Engineer worked with Bolton and Menk to provide a work plan and scope of services to oversee the project design and construction phase services. Bolton and Menk assisted the city with the preliminary design work on the Project. The scope of services, project delivery schedule and fee proposal are summarized in the attached Amendment #1 to Task Order No. 24. The services and associated fess are consistent with the Feasibility Report Cost Estimate and remains within the overall project budget. FISCAL IMPACT: The total estimated project cost is $1,754,000, including $1,584,000 for sanitary sewer extension and improvements, and $169,200 for watermain extension. The improvements will be funded 100% through Special Assessments. In order to ensure that the City will have valid and collectable special assessments related to the Improvements, the Stillwater Area School District has signed and submitted a Petition and Waiver Agreement as prepared by the City Attorney. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt a Resolution Ordering the Improvements and the Preparation of Plans and Specifications for the Stillwater Area School District Utility Improvements as outlined in the Feasibility Report approved on October 15, 2024. The recommended motion for this action is as follows: “Move to adopt Resolution No. 2024-119, Ordering the Stillwater Area School District Utility Improvements as outlined in the Feasibility Report approved on October 15, 2024, and ordering the Preparation of Plans and Specifications.” Staff is also recommending that the City Council approve Task Order No. 24, Amendment #1 for Design and Construction Phase Engineering Services to be provided by Bolton and Menk, Inc. in a not-to-exceed amount of $207,972, and authorize the City Administrator to sign a Geotechnical Service Design Contract in the not-to-exceed amount of $25,000, for the Stillwater Area School District Utility Improvements.
