C�BOLTON & MENK Real People. Real Solutions. July 19, 2017 City of Orono Attn: Adam Edwards PO Box 66 Orono, MN 55323 RE: 2017 Old Crystal Bay Road Corridor Study Dear Adam: 2638 Shadow Lane Suite 200 Chaska, MN 55318-1172 Ph: (952) 448-8838 Fax: (952) 448-8805 Bolton-Menk.com As requested, we have prepared a scope of services and estimated fee for studying needed improvements on the Old Crystal Bay Road Corridor. Proposed Scope of Engineering Services It is our understanding that the City would like us to evaluate the Old Crystal Bay Road Corridor based on information provided in previous studies. Improvement scenarios to be considered will include the addition of turn lanes, traffic control changes, and access consolidation. To assist the City with this improvement project, Bolton & Menk proposes the following scope of services: Review of Previous Studies - Bolton & Menk will review previous studies prepared by Bonestroo, in 2010 and by SRF, in 2016 to get a good understanding of the problem evolution and feasibility of recommended solutions. Circulation Studies and Scenarios Development — Bolton & Menk will use information available in previous studies to evaluate vehicle and pedestrian circulation to minimize conflicts at the intersections, increase safety for pedestrians, minimize queues at drop-off and pick-up locations, and improve traffic operations along Old Crystal Bay Road and adjacent streets. Up to two alternatives will be developed but preliminary design and cost estimates will only be prepared for the alternative selected by the City. Preliminary Desi - An exhibit will be prepared for the selected alternative, depicting the roadway and intersection improvements. A cost estimate will be also prepared for the selected alternative. Project Phasing. Priorities and Cost - The project will be evaluated, divided in phases and phase cost will be calculated. Report - A draft and a final report will contain the problem description, methodology, findings and recommendations. Fee Estimate Based on the scope of services described above, we propose a not -to -exceed of $24,900 to be billed on an hourly basis. Bolton & Menk will provide separate scopes and fees for survey, design and construction services if the City chooses to move forward with the project at the conclusion of this study.
