RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt a Resolution Receiving the Bids and
Awarding the Contract for Trunk Highway 3 Drainage Improvement Project, CP 2019-13.
BACKGROUND
The Minnesota Trunk Highway 3 (TH 3) Drainage Improvement Project, CP 2019-13, is proposed to
connect the Harmony development on the east side of TH 3 to the regional pond constructed within the
Dunmore development west of TH 3. The City intends to use the existing MnDOT culvert under TH 3 to
make this connection. Due to the culvert’s structural condition, MnDOT has required the City to line the
culvert and make a piped connection to Rosemount’s stormwater system prior to crossing the MnDOT
right-of-way. This project meets those requirements.
At the January 21, 2020 meeting, City Council approved the plans and authorized the advertisement for
bids on this project.
COSTS & FUNDING
MnDOT has acknowledged this project will include improvement of TH 3’s drainage infrastructure.
Therefore, MnDOT has agreed to provide some of the materials for the stormwater pipe and manhole
structures at no cost to the City.
Some of this stormwater construction was intended to be performed as part of the Dunmore 1st Addition
development for a stormwater trunk fee credit. That anticipated work has changed as a result of MnDOT’s
requirements, and the City anticipated getting better bids from contractors by having the whole
improvement performed as one City contract. The stormwater credit will need to be reduced accordingly
for the Dunmore 3rd Addition.
Bids were opened on February 7, 2020 and there were three bids for the project. The apparent low bidder
is Alcon Excavating, Inc. at $159,580.35. Alcon Excavating has not previously performed work in the
City, so staff has checked references and recommends awarding the contract.
