X <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION ^0,% <br />DATE: <br />ITEM NO: <br />Administrator Reviewed: <br />fM <br />Agenda Section: <br />Administrator’s Report <br />Department Approval: <br />Name Ron Moorse <br />Title City Administrator_________________________________________________________________ <br />Item Description: ^ <br />County Road 15 Roadway Project - Orono Lane to Orono Eastern Border - Final Plans and <br />Cooperative Agreement <br />Hennepin County has now completed final plans for the reconstruction of County Road 15 from <br />Orono Lane to the eastern Orono border. County DOT staff will make a brief presentation <br />regarding the final design details and project costs at the November 25 Council meeting and will <br />be available for questions. <br />Construction Cooperative Agreement <br />A copy of the construction cooperative agreement, setting out the terms of the County and city <br />cooperation on the County Road 15 project, is attached. The main item in the cooperative <br />agreement is information on costs and cost sharing. This information is shown as Exhibit A <br />attached to the cooperative agreement. <br />A. Costs <br />The initial estimate of the city’s share of the County Road 15 project costs was $57,500 <br />(for right-of-way acquisition). The current estimate of the city’s costs, based on the final <br />project plans, includes $77,500 for right-of-way acquisition, $44,615 as the city’s share <br />of the $2,166,000 construction cost, and potentially up to $83,867 for storm water <br />ponding, flood plain mitigation, and wetland mitigation; for a total amount of $205,982. <br />The amount for ponding and mitigation could be substantially reduced if the Femdale <br />cut-off right-of-way property can be used for wetland mitigation as well as flood plain <br />mitigation. The County is attempting to determine if this is possible in time for the <br />November 25 Council meeting. <br />B.Parking Restriction <br />The agreement calls for no parking on County Road 15 along the entire project area. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />1. Motion to approve the final plans for County Road 15 roadway project #9222. <br />2.Motion to approve the construction cooperative agreement between Hennepin County and <br />the city of Orono for County State Aid Highway #15 Project #9222.
