A. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Prior Lake is contemplating upgrading Mushtown Road from approximately 1400 feet
south of County Road 23 to the southeast for 2900 feet to provide a southerly access to the
Pond's Athletic Field Complex. The Mushtown Road upgrading would include construction of
storm sewer, grading, aggregate base, bituminous surfacing, concrete curb and gutter,
bituminous trail, and other pertinent work.
The City is also proposing to upgrade Pike Lake Trail from CSAH #42 to the south to the
proposed Knob Hill development. The upgrading of Pike Lake Trail would involve the
construction of an 8 inch sanitary sewer, trunk watermain, trunk storm sewer, grading of the
street, placement of aggregate base, bituminous surfacing, construction of concrete curb and
gutter, concrete sidewalk, bituminous path, and pertinent work.
The public hearing for the two projects is scheduled to be held on Monday, April 7. If the
projects are approved, the City Council would be selecting a consulting engineering firm to assist
the City with the design of the two projects. RCM's personnel are readily available to assist the
City of Prior Lake with the design of Mushtown Road and Pike Lake Trail. If the design of the
two street projects is approved by the City Council, RCM will work quickly to prepare the plans
and bid documents.
Mushtown Road is a gravel road along the south edge of the city limits adjacent to Wood ridge
Third Addition and the proposed Windstar Addition. The gravel road receives traffic from the
township residents that travel northerly up to T.H. #13. The annexation agreement that was
implemented with the Wood ridge Development requires that the City upgrade Mushtown Road
to a bituminous surface during the last phase of the Wood ridge Development. Residents of the
Woodridge Development whose property abuts Mushtown Road have complained in the past
about dust problems and are most anxious to get the street upgraded. Some residents along
Toronto Avenue might express concerns at the public hearing regarding the increased traffic on
Toronto Avenue with the new connection to Mushtown Road. Toronto Avenue has been
constructed to a 9-ton design to allow for the connection to Mushtown Road.

The upgrading of Mushtown Road should include an analysis of future sanitary sewer and water
extensions to the Spring Lake Township property that is adjacent to Mushtown Road. The
design of the project should include sanitary sewer and watermain crossings to serve possible
future annexation areas that are adjacent to Mushtown Road.
The City is intending to upgrade Mushtown Road to the southeast to provide an alternate access
to the Pond's Athletic Field Complex. The secondary access will help to relieve the congestion
along the 170th Street access that is currently the only access to the athletic field.
The soils in the area of Mushtown Road are a clayey type soil that can make construction of
streets difficult and expensive. The Woodridge Development used a subcut of 1 to 3 feet and
placement of 3 inch minus aggregate subgrade material to help support the normal 7 -ton or 9-
ton design. The design of Mushtown Road will need to include some similar corrective work in
the subgrade materials to allow the street to support truck traffic. RCM would recommend that
the City hire a soil testing firm to help make recommendations to the pavement design
thicknesses.
The Pike Lake Trail project would involve the upgrading of a gravel road that would provide
access to the Knob Hill Development, Holy Cross Church, Maple Hill Development, and the
Wensmann Industrial Park. The design of Pike Lake Trail should include the extension of an 8
inch sanitary sewer from the 8 inch line that was installed previously by the church. The 8 inch
sanitary sewer line will serve the Maple Hill Development and the Wensmann property and
possibly some of the lots along the north edge of the Knob Hill Development. The upgrading of
Pike Lake Trail would include a trunk watermain that would provide a northerly loop for the water
system through the Knob Hill Development up to County Road #42. The County Road #42
upgrading project is intending to extend the trunk watermain to the east to Ferndale Avenue to
complete the loop of the city's water system.
The surface water runoff from Pike Lake Trail will drain at a northerly direction to the city's
regional pond that is proposed to be constructed in the northwest corner of County Road #42
and Pike Lake Trail. The design of the upgrading of Pike Lake Trail will need to coordinate the
Rieke Carroll Muller Associates, Inc.
City of Prior Lake
storm sewer sizing and pond layouts with the design of the regional pond and the design of the
Wensmann Development.
The street would be designed to a 9-ton design to handle the truck traffic from the Wensmann
Industrial Park. The City has designated Pike Lake Trail to be a state aid street so the design
should meet state aid standards. This work has been included in our fee. RCM feels that a copy
of the plans should be sent to the state aid office for their review, even though the City is not
intending to use MSA funds for the funding of the street work for Pike Lake Trail.
The design of Pike Lake Trail should identify alternate access for the residents of Maple Hill
Subdivision plus the visitors that attend the Holy Cross Church site. Pike Lake Trail is the only
access for these two areas. The access will need to be maintained during the upgrading of Pike
Lake Trail.
Both projects will require additional right-of-way or easements to allow the improvements to be
constructed. The grading that will be required to convert Mushtown Road from a rural design
to an urban design will require slope easements. The construction of Pike Lake Trail will require
the acquisition of additional right-of-way from the Wensmann property to allow the street and
sidewalkltrail to fit into the steep slopes.

Mission
The primary mission of RCM is to provide quality professional engineering
services. These services must protect the public health and welfare, provide
challenging and professionally rewarding work opportunities for employees,
and result in satisfied clients.
History
In 1955, Del Rieke started what is now known as Rieke Carroll Muller
Associates, Inc. (RM) in Gaylord, Minnesota. Providing municipal
engineering, surveying, and by establishing a good reputation, the firm
flourished.
Growth favored RCM. In 1972, with the increased demand for professional
staff, the Corporate Headquarters was moved from Gaylord to Hopkins.
In November 1978, both Rieke and Carroll died suddenly and unexpectedly.
Rieke was 51, Carroll was 53, and RCM was suddenly a second generation
firm. Due to the foresight of Rieke and Carroll in establishing the firm,
ownership transition was very smooth and RCM was able to remain a local
employee owned firm.

cluded stormwater utility funds, tax incre-
ment financing, and property assessments
TH 13 Recons' 'ruction Project
Montgomer~ Minnesota
The City of Montgomery,
ReM and MnDOT worked
on a cooperative project
through Montgomery to
completely reconstruct sani-
tary sewer, watermain,
service lines, storm sewer,
highway, curb and gutter,
and sidewalk along a 1.5
mile segment of Trunk
Highway 13. RCM was
responsible for design of
underground utilities and
worked closely with the
City Council, staff and residents to design the
$1,500,000 project.
The sanitary sewer line was made larger and deeper
to eliminate sewer backups and provide service to
future development areas. Watermain pipes were
increased to provide a trunk water supply system.
Storm sewer lines were made larger to address
flooding problems along TH 13 and also in lateral
lines which extend into the City. Special efforts
were needed to continue sewer and water service
to residents during construction and to address
access across TH 13. As a result of new sanitary
sewer construction, the City has reduced III flows
to the wastewater treatment by 150,000 gallons
per major rain event.
Project Features
· Cooperative project with the City of
Montgomery, RCM, and MnDOT
· Flooding problems along TH 13 were addressed

Project site conditions included a high water table
that necessitated utilization of underdrains and
geotechnical fabric. The alignment also contained
areas of unstable soils. A combination of sur-
charge techniques as well as conventional excava-
tion and backfill were utilized to provide for the
required subgrade stability.
This project is a part of the

c. DETAILED WORK PLAN
RCM currently serves as city engineer for over 50 cities and also provides specialty services on
a project by project basis for many other municipal clients.
Our experienced engineering and surveying staff can assist the City in water, sanitary sewer,
storm sewer, storm water ponds, streets, parks, trails and other municipal improvement projects.
Our staff includes registered professional engineers, registered land surveyors, and certified
technicians to serve the City. We have trained people who understand their role in the process
of planning, design and construction of municipal projects.
Transporting people from home to work, and goods from manufacturer to consumer requires
safe, durable and well-designed municipal streets, county roads, state highways, bridges, and
airports. RCM has engineered such transportation systems in communities ranging in size from
200 to over 50,000 residents. RCM's experience and capability includes the planning and
design of multi-span highway bridges, retaining walls, signalization, parking facilities, bike paths,
intersection geometries, signage, and airport runways.
Municipal State Aid (MSA), County State Aid Highway (CSAH), Federal Aid Urban (FAU) street
projects, county roads, and trunk highways are a significant portion of the design service that
we provide. Our engineers and technicians have the experience to plan and design quality yet
economical transportation systems.
To be successful, RCM and the City need to work together as a team. We also realize that other
public agencies, developers, and contractors also need to work together as a team to allow the
City to be successful. The RCM team is headed by the Project Manager who is responsible for
overseeing the work of the team and providing an interface between the City of Prior Lake and
the team from project conception to completion. This team concept provides the City with an
RCM contact person who is familiar with the citizens of Prior Lake, the engineering procedures
of the municipality, the City's future needs and desires, and the methods of fulfilling those needs.
Sections D and E identify a detailed schedule and a detailed budget with the key work tasks
required to complete the design of the two projects.
Rieke Carroll Muller Associates, Inc.
City of Prior Lake
The two projects will require a considerable amount of field survey work. RCM's survey crew
would use its Geodimeter Total Station to cross section and topo the two sites. The information
would then be downloaded into the computer for processing and layout for AutoCAD.
All plans would be prepared using AutoCAD Version 13 in Windows 95. The specifications and
proposal form would be prepared using Corel WordPerfect 7 for Windows 95, and sent to the
City in Word 6.0 with Windows 95 format.
RCM will prepare cost estimates of prior to the bid opening. Then, atter the bid opening, RCM
will prepare the bid tabulation and assist the City in evaluating the bids.
At the completion of project design and approval of plans, RCM will provide the City a computer
disk of all the data and AutoCAD drawings on the City's format.
r-
Both projects will require the acquisition of additional right-of-way or easements to allow the
improvements to be constructed. Our level of compensation includes preparing easement or
right-of-way descriptions for the parcels to be acquired. We have also identified 8 hours of RCM
staff time toward negotiations to acquire the easements or right-of-way. We feel that some of
the property owners will ask for money from the City in exchange for the easementlright-of-way
rights. Therefore, the City's staff should be involved in the negotiations. RCM's fees do not
include any costs to conduct appraisals of property to be acquired.
RCM's philosophy is to provide professional service at an economical price. We will do our best
to satisfy the City to help build a lasting relationship.
We feel that our familiarity with both projects will give us an advantage of being able to work
efficiently and effectively. The compensation levels shown in Section E reflect the cost for us
to design these two projects without asking the City for extra fees at the end of the project
because of unknown or unforseen factors.
