Item No. 7C Type of Business: CB WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Greg Lee, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Resolution No. 5762 Approval of Plans and Specifications, Authorization to Advertise for Bids, and Establish a Bid Date for the County Road H2 Street Project Meeting Date: May 13, 2002 Background: On October 8, 2001, the City Council authorized the pre paration of construction plans and specifications for the County Road H2 Street Improvement Project from Pleasant View Drive to County Highway 10. On January 7, 2002, the City Council authorized staff to execute the supplemental Letter of Agreement with the engineering firm of Short Elliot Hendrickson Inc. (SEH) that outlined engineering service proposed by SEH for the preparation of plans and specifications for the County Road H2 Street Improvement Project. Discussion: Plans and Specifications - Plans and specifications that meet the City of Mounds View standards have been prepared and are consistent with the preliminary report and direction given by Council. Design Items Parking -- On April 22, 2002, the City Council approved Resolution No. 5749, which prohibits parking on both sides of County Road H2 from Pleasant View Drive to County Road 10. Pathway on the North Side -- The City had previously received a petition to locate the pathway on the north side of H2 directly behind the curb at the west end of this project – from Pleasant View Drive to Knollwood Drive. This design proposal was investigated but did not prove feasible for several reasons. An over riding factor was that it did not meet the State requirement of a four foot separation between the roadway and sidewalk as a safety buffer.
