Funding of these projects will be primarily through 429 Assessment Bonds. In order to fund projects through 429 bonds, all projects to be funded must be listed throughout the entire public improvement process starting with the Feasibility Reports. Projects can be deleted but not added in the process. This Agenda item also recommends that MSA, Consulting Engineers, Inc. prepm'e the Feasibility Report. BACKGROUND: This Agenda item was discussed at the July 18, 1994 Council Meeting in which the Council adopted the 1995 Capital Improvement Program with modifications. Those modifications were to transfer the Lake Front Park Paving project to 1996 and move the Memorial Park restroom renovation to 1995. Staff has included the 1995 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for Council adoption. The 1995 CIP projects being included in Resolution 94-43 am as follows: CIP NUMBER PROJECT NAME CIP-25 Street improvement project on streets north of CSAH 42: Martindale Street, Henningway Circle and Hickory Avenue. CIP-26 Pike Lake Trail reconstruction from CSAH 42 to north line of proposed Knob Hill plat including sanitary sewer and watermain improvements. CIP-28 Ridgemont Avenue sewer, water and paving improvement from 300' north of TH. 13 to Rutledge Street. 4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 Most of the projects are funded through Chapter 429 Assessment Bonds. Chapter 429 Assessment Bonds can be leveraged to fund other similar projects as long as twenty percent (20%) of the bond issue is assessed. The primary projects proposed to be assessed are: CIP-25 Street overlay improvements project north of CSAH 42. Includes Martindale Street, Henning Circle and Hickory Avenue CIP-29 Street overlay/ reconstruction improvement project for Creekside Circle, Candy Cove area, Oak Ridge area, Pixie Point Circle, and Tower Street Any project which the City ultimately funds through the 429 Assessment Bond must be incorporated into the Preparation of Feasibility Report on 1995 Improvement Projects. Because of the 429 process, the City can eliminate projects, but cannot add projects to those listed in the aforementioned report except by amending the feasibility report. To proceed with the feasibility report, Staff has requested and received a cost estimate from MSA Consulting Engineers, Inc. on preparing the feasibility report for the 1995 CIP projects: CIP NUMBER PROJECT NAME CIP-25 Titus addition street overlay improvement project CIP-26 Pike Lake Trail CIP-28 Ridgemont Avenue CIP-29 Creekside Circle, Candy Cove area streets, Oak Ridge area streets, Pixie Point, Centennial Street and Tower Street CIP-40 Channel stabilization project in Fish Point Park. The total cost to prepare the Feasibility Report for the five (5) projects mentioned previously is estimated to be $32,340.00 and includes surveying. The total estimated cost of the five (5) projects is $1,905,000.00. It is the City's responsibility to pay for soil borings which are necessary for the report. The estimated cost for the soil boring work is $7,500.00. Feasibility report preparation DISCUSSION: this Agenda Report and Resolution 94-43. Staff is requesting to proceed with the 1995 City projects in order for those projects to be completed in a timely fashion. It is Staff's intent to present the Feasibility Report to Council later this year. Due to the amount of public and private projects proceeding at this time, Staff will need to utilize a consultant to prepare the vast majority of the Feasibility Report. Funding of the Feasibility Report work by the City's consultant will be from the City's Construction Fund. The Construction Fund will be reimbursed if the projects are approved and bonds issued. Staff feels sufficient funds exist in the Construction Fund to cover this expenditure. In order to construct the programmed CIP projects in 1995, Staff believes the 429 Process with the preparation of the Feasibility Report should start now. Resolution 94-43 has been prepared for authorizing the Feasibility Report on the 1995 improvement projects. Resolution 94-43 contains all potential projects for the 1995 construction year which are dependent on 429 bond financing. ALTERNATIVES: RECOMMENDATION: BUDGET IMPACT: ACTION REQUIRED: The alternatives are as follows: Approve Resolution No. 94-43 authorizing Staff to prepare a report on 1995 Improvement Projects and authorize MSA, Consulting Engineers, Inc. to prepare the Feasibility Report. 2. Table this item for a specific reason. 3. Deny Resolution No. 94-43. Recommendation is for Council to approve Resolution 94-43 to allow Staff to begin the process for implementing the 1995 CIP projects. Preparation of the Report will be done by the City's Engineers consultant and cost will be paid from the City's Construction Fund.
