Final Preparation of Plans and Specifications and Advertisement for Bids
BACKGROUND
The 2023 Neighborhood Infrastructure Improvement Project, City Project 2023-04, was included as part
of the 2023-2032 Capital Improvement Plan. The streets identified for this improvement through the
City’s pavement management evaluation are shown in the attached map. The project is proposed to
consist of full reconstruction with the addition of utilities (water, sewer and storm) as this neighborhood
was included in the 2040 Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA) with the most recent Comprehensive
Plan update.
The Improvement Hearing for the 2023 Neighborhood Infrastructure Improvement Project, City Project
2023-04 is the next step as required under Minnesota Statute Chapter 429. Ordering of the improvement
allows the final design and planning to progress for this project. Upon completion of the final design,
advertising for bids will begin. There are several additional steps in the process prior to assessments being
levied including awarding the contracting and holding an Assessment Hearing. There will be additional
discussion and details provided during the Assessment Hearing, including the final proposed assessments.
Scope
The project consists of full pavement reconstruction along with the extension of utilities into this
neighborhood. The streets included are:
• Bacardi Avenue West between the edge of pavement and the Stillwell Pond north of 128th Street
West, approximately 820 feet north
• 128th Street West between Bacardi Avenue West and Bengal Avenue West
• 130th Way between Bengal Avenue and 130th Street West
• Bengal Avenue between 128th Street West and 130th Street West
A feasibility report was prepared by WSB and Associates, Inc. (WSB) for this scope of work and was
provided at the February 7, 2023 Council meeting. A copy is also available for review in the City
Engineer’s office as well as the project website. The report reviews the existing conditions, proposes
improvements, details costs and funding sources and estimates proposed assessments. The report found
this project, as proposed, to be feasible, cost effective, and necessary.

The existing streets in this area are in poor condition and staff has spent considerable time maintaining
them. Reconstructing these streets would substantially reduce maintenance expenses while also improving
the roads for the traveling public. The roads would remain a rural section with no curb and gutter. It
should be noted that some existing bituminous curb would be replaced with concrete curb and gutter, but
existing areas with ditches would remain. Some grading is anticipated to ensure positive drainage can be
established.
One change staff is recommending from the project scope presented in the Feasibility Report is to adjust
Bacardi Avenue to a rural section thus eliminating the curb and gutter. The road width would also be
rebuilt to a narrower width than previously proposed, providing only two through lanes and a 3-foot-wide
paved shoulder on each side for a total pavement width of 30 feet. The paved trail would remain but
eliminating the curb would require a 10-foot-wide clear zone between the road and trail. Altogether, these
changes would reduce the surface improvement costs and likely provide some cost savings for
assessments. The narrower road would also reduce the size of additional needed stormwater
improvements.
The planned extension of city water and sanitary sewer into the neighborhood is based on the 2040
Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary from the city’s Comprehensive Plan. Due to the street
condition, extending utilities now is appropriate, since a full reconstruction of these streets would be
unlikely to occur again for 30 years or more. Additionally, staff has reviewed available historical
information on the septic systems within the neighborhood. The table below details that information
which was broken into three categories:
• Septic systems known to be compliant.
• Septic systems with an installation year known, but compliance status unknown.
• Septic systems with both an unknown installation year and compliance status.
Total
Number
Average
Age Oldest Newest
Home Construction 34 47 82 26
Septic System Compliant 4 9 14 1
Septic System Install Date Known, but Compliance
Unknown 17 18.8 36 1
Septic System Install & Compliance Unknown 13 49.5 82 26
Based on this information that extension of the utilities into the neighborhood is a recommended action to
allow property owners quick access to the city system in the event of a failure.
Cost and Funding
The Feasibility Report prepared an initial estimate for the work to be performed. This cost will be refined
during the final design should City Council order the project at the Improvement Hearing. The table
below details the estimated total project cost for each of the areas. These costs include 5% construction
contingency and a 25% indirect cost. A detailed estimate is included in the feasibility report.
Work Item Amount
Surface Improvements 2,217,628$
Sanitary Sewer Improvements 929,762$
Watermain Improvements 1,238,980$
Storm Sewer Improvments 612,865$
TOTAL PROJECT COST 4,999,235$

This project would be funded via a combination of funds as estimated below. Assessments are based on
35% of a residential street design section only. The assessments are NOT applied to the utility extensions.
Because the utility system is being extended the cost for that work would be funded by the appropriate
trunk fund. Finally, Bacardi is a Municipal State Aid Street and is eligible for MSA funding. The estimated
amounts are detailed in the table below.
Should the City Council proceed with this project more refined information will be provided for costs,
funding and final proposed assessments at a future meeting.
Schedule
Should the Council approve this resolution, the proposed project schedule is shown below. Items marked
“CC” will require City Council approval in order to move forward. Items in italic font have been
