Highway 3 Overlay Project, 145th Street to 147th StreetCITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR DISCUSSION COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE DATE: MAY 9, 2001 AGENDA ITEM: HIGHWAY 3 OVERLAY PROJECT, 145T STREET TO 147 STREET AGENDA NO. 2.B. DISCUSSION PREPARED BY: JIM PARSONS, COMMUNITY DEV. DIR. ATTACHMENTS: WSB MEMO Background Dave Hutton of WSB has written a memo regarding design elements of the Highway 3 overlay project (attached). WSB is also preparing a bird's -eye view of the existing and proposed streetlights along Highway 3. Staff requests discussion of the streetlights and the pavers. RECOMMENDED ACTION NOTES: Memorandum To: Honorable Mayor and City Council, City of Rosemount Tom Burt, City Administrator From: Dave Hutton, P.E. Project Manager Date: April 25, 2001 Re: TH 3, 145 Street to Lower 147` Street City Project No. 318 WSB Project No. 1191 -20 In February, 2001 the City Council of Rosemount directed the preparation of plans and specifications for the TH3 Enhancement Project from 145 Street to lower 147 Street. In March, 2001 the City was notified by Mn/DOT that they had received the maximum funding of $540,000 from their Cooperative Agreement Program, although funding was delayed until their 2001 Fiscal Year (July 1, 2002). In discussing the project with Mn/DOT, they encouraged the City to complete the design as soon as possible as there is a good chance a portion of the money would be available this Fiscal Year (July 1, 2001) due to other project slippage, which is quite normal. Based on this discussion, it was felt that the project should be broken up into 2 phases with the segment between 145 to Lower 147 being designed for construction in 2001 and the segment from 147 to County Road 42 being designed for 2002 or 2003 construction. The plans for the segment located between 145 and lower 147 are now substantially completed and ready to submit to Mn/DOT for review and comment. Once comments are received, the revised plans would be presented to City Council for permission to bid, if Mn/DOT can advance this project to Fiscal Year 2002 (July 1 2001) If they can't advance the money into Fiscal Year 2002, then this phase cannot be bid until July 1, 2002 (Fiscal Year 2003). The design issues regarding the plans are as follows: The plans do not show the signal at TH3 being replaced as Mn/DOT does not have this item funded in their signal program (which is separate from their Cooperative Agreement Program). The City could include this signal replacement in the project, but the 50% Mn/DOT share of the signal (approximately $75,000) would come out of the Cooperative Agreement money already committed, reducing the ability to use the full amount of this money on other portions of the project. We will continue to discuss this item with Mn/DOT. This is a change from previous discussions with Mn/DOT based on new information.

All existing trees will remain in their current location. 3. The driveway accesses are consistent with the layout approved by Council in February. The following driveways are shown on the plans: Rosemount Mall Terry's Hardware /Shenanigans Rosemount Floral Total Gas Station McDivitt's Complex Ratzlaffs Commercial home Commercial home = two 32' wide driveway = two 32' wide driveway =one 18' wide driveway = one 32' wide driveway = one 28' wide driveway = one 24' wide driveway = one 18' wide driveway = one 12' wide driveway 4. Storm sewer will be included in the project, on the east side of the road, but catch basins will be installed on the west side as well, including 2 stubs to pick up low drainage areas on the back side of the sidewalk on private parking lots -one each at Terry's and Rosemount Mall_ 5. A small section of watermain will be replaced and upgraded to 8 ". 6. All sidewalks will maximize the walking area within the current right -of -way constraints outside of the street light bases. NSP WORK NSP has provided the City with two proposals. One is for undergrounding the overhead lines and one is for installing the decorative street lights. In regards to the decorative street lights, the estimate cost is S330,000 for 68 street lights, which go all the way from 145' street to County Road2. The spacing is similar to that used on last year's project, approximately 75 -100' apart: The existing lights on top of the signals at 145 Street would be utilized. The exact location of each pole would be determined in the field. The proposed light poles consist of the following options on all poles 1. Flag Holders (68) 2. Banner Arms (68) 3. GFI Outlets (68) 4. Flower Pot Holders (22 poles) 5. Irrigation Lines (22 poles) r C:\%ind0ws\TENfP %042501 hmc.doc Honorable Mayor and City Council, City of Rosemount Tom Burt, City Administrator April 25, 2001 Page 3 The City Council should discuss whether they want all of these options. In regards to the irrigation lines on the poles, there would be additional costs to run water service lines along the sidewalks on both sides of the street and install shut off valves at each pole. These water line costs are not included in the original feasibility report costs, so these costs would be extra. We do not feel that the additional benefits achieved are justified due to the higher costs. Once the City decides on the final options, NSP will reNise their costs and submit a new contract to the City for consideration. The second NSP contract calls for burying all overhead electric lines. This cost is estimated at $88,921. Attached are both tentative draft contracts. These contracts cover the entire project from 145 Street to County Road 42. The actual work would be done in two phases consistent with the City projects. It is planned to construct the project under traffic, with 1/2 the road closed at a time similar to last years project. There will be two times during the project that the road will be closed completely and traffic detoured; once when the storm sewer lines are installed across the street and once when the final paving is done. In both incidents, the work will be completed on a Saturday and be completed in one day or less. The Council is being asked to approve the plans and authorize the submission of them to Mn/DOT for review and consideration.
