STEVE ALBRECHT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AWARDING THE CITY'S
STANDARDIZED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT FOR THE CR 21
EXTENSION UNDERPASS STUDY AND UTILITY DESIGN BY WSB &
ASSOCIATES
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is for the City Council to award the City's
Standardized Professional Services Contract for the CR 21 Extension Underpass
Study and Utility Design.
Historv
Scott County in cooperation with the City of Prior Lake, City of Shakopee and
SMSC will be extending CR 21 from CR 42 to TH 169 starting in 2009. The
County is in the process of finalizing the layout for the roadway which will be
presented to the City Council for review this summer.
Current Circumstances
The City of Prior Lake has substantial development and park infrastructure
(present and future) in the proximity of the CR 42 and CR 21 intersection. City
Staff believes that the future traffic volumes on these roadways will make
pedestrian crossings more difficult. For that reason Staff believes the City
should evaluate whether pedestrian underpasses can be constructed under the
existing CR 42 and future CR 21 as part of this project. The County has a
contract with WSB and Associates to design this project. WSB is on the City's
Municipal Engineering list and therefore Staff believes it is appropriate to have
them complete the study prior to City Council review of the project layout so
pedestrian facilities can be properly evaluated. The City does not have the staff
expertise to complete these studies as it involves substantial structural analysis.
The City of Prior Lake will also be extending sewer and water north along the
new CR 21 as part of the project for future development. The County desires to
install these utilities as part of the initial project starting in 2009. For this reason
it is important to complete the design this year. Current City Staff levels and
ongoing projects will not permit City staff to complete this design work in house
by this fall which is required to keep the project on schedule. For this reason
City Staff is also recommending WSB be utilized to complete the work and
provided construction survey services.
In order to ensure the best design for the residents of Prior Lake and that the
project is kept on schedule these services are important.

FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
Funding for the underpass study and utility design should come from Street
Oversize Fund and Trunk Utility Fund respectively. The extension of CR 21 is
needed due to development and therefore these funding sources are
appropriate. The proposed Underpass Study is to be completed for a not to
exceed price of $10,000. The proposed Utility Design and Surveying service are
to be completed for a not to exceed cost of $30,000.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives are as follows:
1. Approve a resolution authorizing preparation of a underpass study and utility
plans by WSB & Associates for a cost not to exceed $40,000.00
2. Deny this item for a specific reason and provide Staff with direction.
3. Table this item until some date in the future.
