Background. Watertown Road is a collector road for the City of Orono. From Willow Road to Brown <br />Road responsibility for its care is shared with the City of Long Lake due to the alignment of the cities’ <br />boundaries. Orono owns 29.5% of the road surface by square footage along this stretch of road with Long <br />Lake owning the remainder. Long Lake is proposing to rebuild this section of the road in 2016 and is <br />looking to partner with Orono to do so. Long lake is considering rebuilding the road and replacing the <br />utilities that currently run under this section of Watertown Road. Orono does not have any utilities under <br />this section of Watertown road. In May of 2015 both Long Lake and Orono approved a Joint Powers <br />Agreement (JPA). The JPA authorizes Long Lake to manage the project with Orono participating through <br />funding. At the September 28th, 2015 Meeting the Council accepted the feasibility report. The JPA <br />requires both City Councils to approve the final plans and the award of the project. Long Lake <br />authorized the soliciting for bids at their March 3rd meeting. <br /> <br />3. Scope of Work. The project consists of the reclamation of the bituminous pavement, select subgrade <br />corrections, and the replacement / improvement of the associated Stormwater system. <br /> <br />4. Cost/ Funding. Per the JPA Orono shall contribute to 29.5% of a road reconstruction, storm sewer, <br />construction administration and materials testing costs up to $133,800.
