Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for March 18,2019 Page 6 of 8 Lakes staff(Mayor Reinert was unable to attend due to weather conditions) to discuss a joint project. Staff from both Lino Lakes and Hugo felt it was important that both projects move forward concurrently and that economies of scale would provide efficiencies resulting in lower project costs and would help with traffic patterns and maintenance needs. Mark explained the proposed improvements and the Joint Powers Agreement that would include both cities being responsible for their share of engineering and design cost and prorating fees bases on the percentage of construction costs. WSB would design the project on behalf of both cities, and since Lino Lakes has a larger share of the project, it was proposed they would be the primary holder of the construction contract. Lino Lakes approved the agreement at its March 11, 2019, City Council meeting, and Mark recommended Council approve the agreement also. Mark explained the cost would be $785,000, and Hugo would be responsible for 37% of the project, $295,000, and there would be no assessments for Hugo's share. Cost of improvements were discussed with Finance Director Ron Otkin, and since other projects came in under budget, the City could incorporate it into the road improvement program and use road improvement funds. No acquisition of right-of-way was anticipated. Weidt asked how it would be put out to bid, and Mark replied that the City would be on a similar track with the Lino Lakes. At Lino Lakes' next meeting, they will be requesting authorization to prepare plans and specifications, and Hugo would do the same at its next Council meeting. Lino Lakes would then accept bids and, prior to awarding the Contract, the City of Hugo can review them.
