REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />JUL 2 6 1999 <br />Cl 11 uh OHONO <br />DATE; July 26, 1999 <br />ITEM NO.: // <br />Department Approval: <br />Name Gregory A. Gappa <br />Title Director of Public Services <br />Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: <br />Engineer ’s Report <br />Item Description Stubbs Bay Road Cul-de-$ac MNDOT Cooperative Agreement <br />Attached is the MNDOT Cooperative Agreement for the Smbbs Bay Road closure project. This <br />project includes closure of the Stubbs Bay Road/TH 12 intersection and construction of a cul-de- <br />sac south of the railroad tracks, plus the reclaiming and repaving of Stubbs Bay Road north of <br />Watertown Road. <br />Bids have been received for this project, and a bid tabulation is attached for your information. <br />Buffalo Bituminous is the lowest responsible bidder at $118,000. Per the Cooperative Agreement, <br />MNDOT will pay for construction costs plus 8% of the construction cost amount for construction <br />inspection and engineering services, up to a maximum cost of $132,000. Based on the project bid <br />received the estimated construction and engineering costs are $127,500. <br />The City is responsible for the design engineering costs, which are 8% of construction cost <br />amount, and any costs associated with easement acquisition. We are working on acquiring the <br />easements for t^ project. The easement areas required are relatively small, plus the existing <br />Right of Way could be vacated so the property owners would not lose any land area. The residents <br />are also supportive of this project as it will eliminate the noise from train horns at the railroad <br />crossing. <br />We are recommending approval of the MNDOT Cooperative Agreement for the Stubbs Bay Road <br />cul-de-sac project. The project construction contract cannot be awarded until after MNDOT <br />approval and signature of the Cooperative agreement. We are anticipating award of the <br />construction contract at the August 9th Council meeting. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Motion to approve resolution authorizing the execution of the MNDOT Cooperative Agreement <br />for the Stubbs Bay Road CuI-de-Sac project.
