Item No. 7G 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: 2003 Street Improvement Project Resolution No. 5870 Authorizing the preparation of a Preliminary Feasibility Report and Consultant Selection for the 2003 Street Improvement Project Meeting Date: October 28, 2002 Background: At the October Work Session, Council directed staff to proceed with a street improvement project to be implemented during the 2003 construction season. The streets to be considered for this project are those contained in the area bounded by County Road 10 to the north and east, County Road H2 to the south, and the Pleasant View Drive to the west. Discussion: Preliminary Report - The first step in a public improvement process is the preparation of a preliminary engineering report. It is recommended that the preliminary report be ordered at this time to determine the need and feasibility, both physical and economic, of providing the necessary public improvements. Consultant Selection – There are several engineering consultants within the City’s “consultant pool” from whom services could be obtained. Staff has interviewed two of these firms and found one to be best able to implement a project of this nature and serve the City’s needs. Staff recommends that the Council retain the services of the engineering firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik, and Associates (BRAA) to assist in the preparation of the preliminary engineering report and other aspects of this project, as directed by City Council. Recommendation: It is recommended the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the preparation of a preliminary feasibility report and the selection of a consultant for the 2003 Street Improvement Project. Respectfully Submitted, Greg Lee, Director of Public Works
