History Each year the City reconstructs street segments that are scheduled for recon- struction as part of its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and have exceeded their useful design life. The City uses the Capital Improvement Program and its Pavement Management Program to plan for infrastructure improvements and the financing for capital improvements. At its August 25, 2014 meeting the City Council adopted Resolution 14-124 authorizing staff to prepare a Feasibility Re- port for the Credit River Road Improvement Project as outlined in the CIP. The M.S. Chapter 429 process applies to all projects that will be financed in whole or in part through special assessments or bond proceeds. The Credit River Road neighborhood is considered in the report and includes improvements to Borgerding Addition, Brooksville Hills 1St Addition, Brooksville Hills 8th Addition, Costello's Addition, S 02, T 114, R 22 Block 001, Lot 002&003 and portions of Sections 1 &2, Township 114, Range 22. These properties were platted and developed from as early as 1920's to as late as the 1990's. A map of the project area (Figure 1) is included in the Feasibility Report. The proposed improvements include street reconstruction, storm sewer, storm water quality, sanitary sewer, watermain, concrete curb and gutter, and appurtenant work. Current Circumstances The Feasibility Report includes total estimated costs, preliminary assessment amounts, and a project financing summary. Also included in the report are de- sign criteria, estimates and information on watermain, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and streets. Details on each can be found in the Feasibility Report. At the November 10, 2014 City Council meeting, the Council requested additional information pertaining to possible impacts to Credit River Road due to future plans for the Trunk Highway 13/County Road 21 Intersection Project and addi- tional information relating to the forcemain and Credit River Road lift station re- placement. The Council also requested that the Assessment Review Committee review and evaluate the information prior to bringing the agenda item back to the Council. The Assessment Review Committee subsequently met on November 14th to review the additional information including a three page memo which out- lined the issues associated with sewer capacity together with a proposal for avoiding such issues in the future. A copy of that memo has been shared with the rest of the council and is attached to this report. Conclusion A public hearing is proposed for December 22, 2014. At that meeting the pro- posed improvements, project schedule and assessments will be presented to residents. The information contained in the Feasibility Report will also be pre- sented at a neighborhood meeting that will take place prior to the public hearing. The attached Feasibility Report outlines which portions of the cost for the above project will be assessed to the benefiting properties. If the Council approves the Feasibility Report, the Chapter 429 special assessment statute requires a public hearing be conducted prior to proceeding with the project to determine if it is to move forward. In summary,the project is feasible from an engineering and economic standpoint. Approval of the Feasibility Report does not grant final approval of the project. ISSUES: The Assessment Review Committee (ARC) convened on November 14, 2014 to review additional information in regards to the Credit River Road Project per the request of City Council at the November 10, 2014 meeting. The two items re- viewed were: • Forcemain and Lift Station Replacement— History and capacity issues • Trunk Highway 13/County Road 21 Future Plans — Impacts to Credit River Road at Evanston Avenue The capacity issues related to the Credit River Lift station were discussed. A memo dated November 13th drafted by Larry Poppler was reviewed. Due to the circumstances, the replacement of forcemain under Credit River Road from Ev- anston to the Credit River Lift Station is necessary to gain the needed capacity. Due to this replacement and disturbance to Credit River Road, the Assessment Review Committee is recommended proceeding with the project. The ARC reviewed 3 options for the TH 13/CR 21 future plans. The options included: 1. Existing Alignment-Reconstructing Credit River Road with the City's typical section within the existing road alignment at Evanston Ave- nue. Option 1 would likely mean that this stretch of Credit River Road (approximately 300 feet) would be reconstructed again when the in- tersection project takes place. 2. Shift Alignment - Reconstructing Credit River Road with the City's typical section and shifting road alignment to account for expansion of County Road 21. The shifting of the road alignment (option 2) would require property acquisition and would cost approximately $9,000. This option would not necessarily mean this area of Credit 2 River Road would not be impacted again with the TH 13/CR 21 inter- section. It would give the City an opportunity during the design of the intersection project to try to minimize impacts or avoid reconstructing this portion of Credit River Road again. 3. Temporary Road Section -Building a temporary street section for the area that may be impacted by future construction of the TH 13/CR 21 intersection. Option 3 would provide a cost savings of approxi- mately$33,000. The ARC recommended that if this option were cho- sen the assessed parcels would be the same as the other two options as they would not be assessed with the TH 13 and CR 21 project. The ARC recommended that the final decision on which road option to use at this location be deferred until additional design information is available that would better illustrate impacts of each option.

Date: November 13,2014 To: Frank Boyles, City Manager From: Larry Poppler,City Engineer/Inspections Director Subject: Southeast Sanitary Sewer Area This memo addresses the sanitary sewer capacity in the southeast region of the City. 2005 Comprehensive Plan The City uses the Comprehensive Plan to guide development within the City and trunk improvements. The most recent Comprehensive Plan update was created in 2005 and is typically updated every 10 years. A Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan includes a section on the sanitary sewer system. This chapter is created from a separate document titled"Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan". This plan assigns and guides sanitary sewer districts within Prior Lake. It includes chapters on Land Use,Design Criteria,Full Development System Descriptions, Cost Analysis, Summary,and Recommendations. In terms of sanitary sewer it is the guiding document for the City and includes Capital Improvement Recommendations. When a new development is being planned,this document is referenced to determine if it is consistent with the Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan. It was also used to calculate the trunk area charges. It is not uncommon that development densities or flows vary from the Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan, especially in a commercial/industrial area of the City. The plan typically assumes a flow rate for various land uses. A factor of safety is also used in the planning effort because of the many variables. Due to these variables,at times specific studies are completed to affirm specific sub-areas within the City. Other study examples include the Lime Lift Station Study. This study helped pinpoint the amount of flow capacity available to serve the annexation area ahead of the sewer extension from CSAH 82, 2007 Credit River Lift Station Standardization The lift station serving this area was built in the 1970's and was designed and operated by the Metropolitan Council before 2007. Since the 70's some areas that historically flowed through the lift station were re-directed to flow directly to the trunk gravity piping. Other areas have been added to flow through this lift station. In 2007,the Credit River Lift Station was standardized to City Specifications and turned over to the City from the Met Council. The standardization included pump replacement,controls,and forcemain replacement. The existing wet well was re-utilized. 2014 Sanitary Sewer Study In the Winter of 2014 as the City was evaluating the layout for the Enclave at Cleary Second Development Project, it was discovered that a property within the City limits west of the Enclave at Cleary Development(Radanke Property)was not addressed in the Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan. The City was also reviewing the CR 44 sanitary sewer capacity in this area to nt. ..:ACS A 9 nonn I r._.. ncn AA7 A 1 A t.....-..-:...,.c_:..-t..t... determine if it could extend sewer to serve property outside the municipal boundary. Due to these factors a sanitary sewer study was commissioned to review the sanitary sewer in this area. The 2014 sanitary sewer study confirmed that the Credit River Lift Station and forcemain piping is undersized to serve the region. Details can be found in the study completed by WSB & Associates,but generally there are two problems; 1)The wet well for the lift station is undersized for the area served resulting in frequent pump run times 2)The forcemain pipe is undersized for the projected flows. The results of the study were surprising to City Staff,but they were reviewed and confirmed using pump down testing of the lift station. Using this information, City Staff suggested that a lift station upgrade be completed in conjunction with the planned Credit River Road project. The Credit River Road project was adjusted from 2017 to 2015 in the Capital Improvement Plan. If the work is completed as contemplated in 2015,the City avoids overextending the capacity of the lift station. The wet-well and forcemain pipe upgrades are needed per the feasibility report for the Credit River Road Project. It was also discovered that the Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan contained an error in the forcemain size assumptions. Specifically, a critical pipe was shown as 10"diameter when in reality it was 6"diameter. The Plan also did not provide guidance on the replacement of the wet well for the Credit River Lift Station as one could expect from the guiding document. 2014 CIP Discussion In a general way, City Staff discussed the capacity issue with the City Council at a worksession held in June of 2014. Ultimately the City Council agreed to include the Credit River Road Project in the CIP for 2015 including the Lift Station. But in retrospect,we should have been more in depth and detailed so the Council was aware of this important issue. Other Issues 1. Since the Comprehensive Sewer Policy Platt did not include upgrade of the Credit River Road Lift Station,the costs are not pant of the trunk acreage charges which are charged to developers. In short,since 2005 we have been"undercharging"development fees for this specific lift station upgrade. There are many variables when determining the fees collected. The Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan makes assumptions on land use, development scenarios,and includes contingency for the costs. Generally,the actual expenditures are less than predicted because of the contingency or value engineering (designing more cost efficient ways to deliver the trunk improvement). However,some land areas which were planned to be served and fees collected have been purchased by the SMSC which also affects the formula. 2. It is uncertain if other errors exist in the Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan. An update to this document will be prepared for the 2040 Comprehensive Plan beginning in 2016 to verify the assumptions and flow projections. The City Council has already directed City Staff to proceed with this update which includes updates to the trunk acreage charges. 3. In 2007,the City had an opportunity to address the lift station and forcemain needs when upgrades were completed to meet City standardization requirements. It is uncertain what assumptions this consultant made for that project or whether they relied on the Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan. 4. Persons responsible for the oversight for the creation of the Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan and the 2007 lift station standardization project are no longer employed by the City of Prior Lake. Their institutional knowledge may have assisted in alerting the City to this situation sooner. Recommendation Without the completion of the 2014 Sanitary Sewer Study,the City would have been vulnerable to over-taxing the Credit River Road Lift station without knowledge. It is recommended that the City proceed with the improvements contemplated in the feasibility report for the Credit River Road Improvement Project, The costs are contained in that document. Because forcemain replacement is necessary to build the necessary capacity and because the forcemain is located beneath Credit River Road for most of the length of the project,it is most cost effective to complete the road improvements to Credit River Road at the same time. As discussed in the feasibility report,the condition of Credit River Road is poor and extensive watermain replacement is also needed. The City can avoid a repeat of this scenario in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan by taking the following steps: i 1) Lengthen the time taken to prepare the plan. We were the first Metropolitan Area City to submit a Comprehensive Plan during the last round of updates. More time should have been spent cross checking the work of the consultant. 2) Review each study step by step during preparation and completion to double check accuracy. Since these documents are used for a decade both to build our system and collect fees,they must be accurate. i I _ --- - O� PRIO V � j r ESO�� PRELIMINARY REPORT FOR THE CITY OF PRIOR LAKE CREDIT RIVER ROAD 2015 PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (PROJECT #TRN15-000006) UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS, GRADING, CONCRETE CURB & GUTTER, BITUMINOUS PAVING AND APPURTENANT WORK NOVEMBER 2014 fi PRELIMINARY REPORT FOR THE CITY OF PRIOR LAKE CREDIT RIVER ROAD 2015 PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECT INCLUDING UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS, GRADING, CONCRETE CURB & GUTTER, BITUMINOUS PAVING AND APPURTENANT WORK NOVEMBER 2014 I hereby certify that this Feasibility Report was prepared by me or under my direct supervision and that I am a duly licensed Professional Engineer under the laws of the State of Minnesota. 11/4/14 Seng Thongvanh, P.E. Date Reg.No. 44666 G:\Recon_Projects\TRN15-000006 Credit River Road\Feasbility Report\2015 Credit River Road Feasibility Report.doc Page 2 INTRODUCTION On August 25, 2014, the Prior Lake City Council adopted Resolution 14-124, which ordered the preparation of a Feasibility Report for improvements to the project area listed below: Credit River Road, located within Sections 1 and 2, Township 114 North, Range 22 West, Scott County,Minnesota. SCOPE This report evaluates the feasibility of reconstructing the street and installation of utilities in the project area. All existing infrastructure (streets, watermain, sanitary sewer, storm sewer) elements were evaluated, improvements recommended, cost estimates of the proposed improvements prepared and funding strategies developed in this report. Additional evaluation of future County Road 21 and Trunk Highway 13 plans are also included in this report to ensure proposed improvements are completed efficiently and account for future needs where feasible. BACKGROUND The proposed project area is shown on Exhibit 1. Credit River Road currently has a failing bituminous surface and is 25 feet in width. The west curb line is currently concrete curb and gutter while the east contains a bituminous curb. I""� fie¢• ��}�`._'?" Credit River Road Existing Condition: Deteriorated bituminous surface The street no longer meets a desired level of service and has reached a point in which maintenance by the use of a bituminous overlay or patching is of limited value. The geotechnical report indicates fill sections below the existing streets. The fill varied from sandy lean clay to clayey silt to silty sand. The report also noted that petroleum odors were encountered in one of the soil borings from a depth of 2-feet to 4-feet. A contingency will be included in the engineer's estimate for removal of contaminated soils. Roadway sections are proposed to be constructed per the recommendation of the Geotechnical Engineer. GARecon_Projects\TRN15-000006 Credit River Road\FeasbiIity Report\2015 Credit River Road Feasibility Report.doc Page 3 The sanitary sewer system for the project area was installed in the 1950's. The sanitary system north of Franklin Trail on Credit River Road consists of 8-inch vitrified clay pipe that flows north to a 24-inch sanitary sewer line located on Evanston Avenue. Currently, a 6-inch forcemain that runs from the Credit River lift station(LS58)discharges to this system. The sanitary system that flows south towards the Credit River lift station consists of 10-inch vitrified clay pipe that starts approximately 800-feet north of Franklin Trail and runs along Credit River Road down to the lift station. The 10-inch sanitary sewer line serves approximately 15 properties on Credit River Road and is considered under-utilized. Televising of the sanitary sewer pipes was completed in September 2014. The televising shows the existing sanitary pipe to be in a deteriorated condition with numerous cracks, spot replacements, and root intrusions. The Credit River lift station(LS58)was originally constructed in the early 1970's. The lift station was owned and operated by the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission which is now known as the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES). Through an agreement with MCES in 2005,the lift station, forcemain, and gravity sanitary sewer from the lift station to County Road 82 was conveyed to the City. As part of the agreement,the lift station was upgraded to meet City standards in 2007. The upgrade was paid by MCES as part of the agreement. The forcemain from the lift station to Franklin Trail was also replaced in 2007 as part of the County Road 21 improvement project. Due to current growth and future developments within the service area of the lift station,the lift station and forcemain would be undersized to meet future needs per the sewer analysis completed by WSB &Associates as shown on Exhibit 3A. The 6-inch cast-iron pipe watermain located on Credit River Road was installed in the 1970's. The watermain located on Credit River Road between Evanston Avenue and Franklin Trail has experienced approximately 15 pipe break incidents within the last twenty years with the last incident occurring in January 2014. The watermain from Franklin Trail to Fish Point Road has experienced approximately 6 incidents within the same time period. The watermain is extremely deteriorated and in need of replacement. The majority of the Credit River Road neighborhood currently drains through a series of catch basins and connects onto Scott County's trunk storm sewer system located on County Road 21. The trunk storm sewer pipes drain to two separate ponds located along the County Road. The storm water pond located at County Road 21 and Fish Point Road was built in 2007 as part of the improvements on County Road 21. This pond was upgraded again in 2013 as part of the Eagle Creek Estates Development. The other storm water pond is located on the south side of County Road 21 and east of Trunk Highway 13. It is anticipated that minor revisions or additions to the storm sewer system will be necessary to meet requirements for rate control, water quality treatment, and volume control. A small area of the Credit River Road neighborhood also drains to the wetland located adjacent to Brooksville Hills Park. G:\Recon_Projects\TRN15-000006 Credit River Road\Feasbility Report\2015 Credit River Road Feasibility Report.doc Page 4 �A ` a ,,.t {pit• t i Existing storm sewer inlet ` d a eta PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS Roadway Proposed improvements for the project area include storm sewer, concrete curb and gutter, driveway restoration, and bituminous surfacing. The existing concrete walk would be replaced as part of this reconstruction project. The concrete walk is currently on the residential side of Credit River Road. During the final design, placement of the concrete walk between County Road 21 and Credit River Road will be evaluated. Placement of the concrete walk closer to the county road would provide a regional usage and a continuous connection for the trail located on County Road 21 just south of Fish Point Road. It would also provide a cost savings of approximately $10,000 due to elimination of concrete driveway aprons. The drawback is that the street alignment would need to be shifted approximately 5' towards the residential side to make room for the side walk. The Credit River Road street section will be designed to meet seven-ton requirements per the City standard for residential streets. The proposed street section per the recommendation of the geotechnical engineer includes: geotextile fabric, 24 inches of granular borrow, 8 inches of Class 5 aggregate base, 2.5 inches of bituminous base course, and 1.5 inches of bituminous wear course. Sub-cutting the roadway and placement of the granular borrow enlarges the scope of the street reconstruction and increases the cost of the project. The typical street section is shown on Exhibit 2. The existing right-of-way for Credit River Road varies from approximately 138 feet wide to 210 feet wide in portions of the roadway. The existing right-of-way is part of the County Road 21 right-of-way. The existing right-of-way width will be sufficient to reconstruct the roadway but Right-of-Entry agreements will be obtained in case restoration work is necessary beyond the right-of-way width. Even though the City standard street width is 32 feet, numerous roadways within the City limits are less than 32 feet wide. In an effort to reduce impervious surface and long term infrastructure replacement costs, the City has utilized narrower street widths. These streets are usually located GARecon_Projects\TRN15-000006 Credit River Road\Feasbility Report\2015 Credit River Road Feasibility Report.doc Page 5 in older residential neighborhoods or if they are located within a new residential development, environmental sensitivity necessitated their approval. Due to the narrower width, on street parking on both sides of the street can create a situation that disrupts the free flow of traffic. Vehicles may encounter one another in an area that has cars parked on the roadway. In those cases, one car must wait while the other car proceeds through the area. For low volume roadways, typically this would not be an issue. As in the case for Credit River Road, the proposed width would be 24 feet wide, which would closely match the current width of 25 feet. This would mirror the reconstruction project protocol of replacing street widths in kind where feasible and deemed appropriate. The final design of Credit River Road will also take into consideration future plans for the County Road 21 and Trunk Highway 13 intersection. The impacts, as shown in the diagram,will be most substantial where Credit River Road curves towards Evanston Avenue. Although the details regarding the future plans at the intersection are not known,there are options that could be taken into consideration during the design of Credit River Road. The first option would be to design Credit River Road per the impacts shown on the concept plan. This option would shift the roadway closer to approximately four homes and may require property acquisition. Although this option would plan ahead for the future, there is no guarantee that Credit River Road would not be impacted by the County Road 21 and TH 13 project. The second option would be to design Credit River Road to follow the existing alignment with the understanding that the section of Credit River Road at Evanston would need to be reconstructed with the County Road 21 and TH 13 project. This option would minimize impacts to the four properties with the current project but future impacts could be substantial. This option would also mean that this section of street would be reconstructed twice,now and in the future.

Concrete pavement typically costs more up front, but has less maintenance over time. An annualized life cycle cost analysis was performed to compare bituminous paving versus concrete paving for this project. The analysis revealed that concrete paving cost$0.64 per linear foot per year more than bituminous based on a 40 year service life. This amounts to a difference of nearly $70,000 over the 40 year service life for the .56 miles of street in this neighborhood based on a similar level of service. In addition to the cost difference for maintaining the pavement, future utility repairs will also cost more if concrete were utilized. The soils in this area need to be replaced under the streets for both the bituminous and concrete paving. If better soils were encountered, the upfront costs for concrete could be comparable to the cost of bituminous as soil correction under a concrete street is typically less than bituminous. Concrete must cure for a 5 day period before vehicles can travel on the pavement. Bituminous can be driven upon within 1 to 2 hours after placement. Using concrete paving presents access challenges to the neighborhood, especially with the cul-de-sac situation for both stretches of Credit River Road. Citizen expectations regarding access would need to be adjusted if concrete were utilized. Sanitary Sewer Proposed sanitary sewer improvements are shown on Exhibit 3. The televising report shows the 8-inch vitrified clay pipe and 10-inch vitrified clay pipe to be in various states of deterioration. The proposed improvements include replacement and upsizing of the existing sanitary sewer to an 18-inch PVC pipe and redirecting sanitary sewer flow on Credit River Road north to the larger existing 24-inch sanitary sewer pipe. The upsizing is required to provide the necessary capacity for discharge of the Credit River lift station into this reach of the sanitary sewer system. The 18- inch sanitary sewer will be installed from Fish Point Road to Evanston Avenue along Credit River Road. Redirecting the sanitary sewer flow in this manner will also eliminate approximately 1,800 feet of gravity sewer pipe from Fish Point Road to Adelmann Street. The improvement project will also include upgrading the existing forcemain and components for the Credit River Road lift station. The lift station and forcemain improvements will be completed per the recommendation by WSB & Associates as part of their sewer analysis dated June 20, 2014 as shown in Exhibit 3A, with modifications. The sewer analysis contemplates replacement of the 6-inch forcemain with a larger size pipe and discharging into the existing 24- inch sanitary sewer on Evanston Avenue. After evaluation of the system layout, the existing forcemain will be replaced with a 10-inch forcemain that will discharge into the proposed 18- inch gravity sewer located on Credit River Road at approximately the Fish Point Road intersection. This option would reduce the length of forcemain installed as well as the size of the proposed forcemain. The forcemain length will be reduced by approximately 2,100 feet. The forcemain pipe size is reduced from 12-inch to 10-inch because of the shorter run of pipe. The lift station component upgrades of the wet well, pumps, and control panel will also be included as part of this project. The proposed improvements to the gravity sanitary sewer, forcemain, and lift station takes into consideration future service needs of platted and undeveloped areas to the south of Credit River Road and west of Revere Way (as shown as highlighted areas in the G:\Recon—Projects\TRN15-000006 Credit River Road\Feasbility Report\2015 Credit River Road Feasibility Report.doc Page 7 diagram). If additional areas within Credit River Township, that extend further to the southeast, are proposed for City sewer services, additional capacity needs should be considered for all components proposed for upgrading along Credit River Road. A sewer analysis covering the additional areas would be required since the analysis by WSB did not contemplate services to these areas. H t L ,M ate' G' FLL _ F , a & . N I r DM Credit River Road Lift Station Service Areas NAME Fully Developed Plat ApprovediPartially Developed Undeveloped/Unse,vered Watermain Proposed watermain improvements are shown on Exhibit 4. It is proposed that the existing 6- inch watermain from Evanston Avenue to Fish Point Road be replaced with 8-inch ductile iron pipe. The watermain within the project has a history of breaks with incidents occurring almost on an annual basis. The latest incident occurred in January 2014. The watermain breaks are disruptive,costly to repair, and waste valuable natural resources. All water service connections will be replaced from the main to the property line and new curb boxes will be installed within the entire project area. Gate valves, hydrants, and curb stops will also be replaced with the mainline pipe. It is anticipated that only existing hydrants within the project area will need to be replaced with no additional hydrants proposed. G:\Recon_Projects\TRN15-000006 Credit River Road\Feasbility Report\2015 Credit River Road Feasibility Report.doc Page 8 Storm Sewer Proposed storm sewer improvements are shown on Exhibit 5. The storm sewer system improvements will consist of adding additional storm sewer collection system designed to capture the 10-year event. Storm sewer currently exists on Credit River Road that is connected to the storm sewer system on County Road 21. The areas north of Franklin Trail drains to the storm water pond located on the south side of County Road 21, approximately 750 feet from the intersection of County Road 21 and Trunk Highway 13. The areas south of Franklin Trail drains to the storm water pond located on the northwest corner of the Fish Point Road and County Road 21 intersection as well as to a wetland adjacent to Brooksville Hills Park. It is anticipated that minimal upgrades to the storm water ponds may be necessary. Residential Access During Construction Providing access to residential properties has always been a difficult issue during heavy construction activities. It is even more challenging when construction takes place within a dead end street. In the case of Credit River Road, both sections are dead end cul-de-sacs. The portion north of Franklin Trail will be less of a challenge as there is another access located off of County Road 21. The Credit River Road section south of Franklin Trail currently has only one access in an out of the neighborhood. To help alleviate access issues during construction, it is anticipated that a temporary access drive would be built at the north end of the cul-de-sac providing access immediately onto Franklin Trail. The temporary access would only be used during construction hours and with limited turn movements to the right onto Franklin Trail. Safety is paramount and City field staff will monitor the temporary access to ensure traffic movements are not creating hazardous conditions. Urban Reforestation Program A voluntary urban reforestation program is proposed to promote a dense urban forest canopy. While this solution is not expected to pay off in the near term,the water quality benefits of an urban forest are well documented. The proverb goes: "The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago,the second best time is now." A mature tree can use 200-1500 gallons of water a day in the summer, and the canopy can intercept rains before they even hit the pavement or other hard surface. The water use does not starve nearby plants for water however,because trees shade the soil below them and protect them from winds, soil evaporation is lessened. The caretaker effect of large trees, along with their ability to bind soils and prevent erosion makes trees very beneficial to water quality. The Urban Reforestation Program, in its current form, is being discontinued for the upcoming reconstruction projects. Instead,residents are encouraged to partake in the Annual Arbor Day Tree Sales which are held in May. The sale takes place at the Savage Public Works Facility. Additional information will be shared with the residents regarding the annual sales event. Drivewav Reconstruction Program As a part of the 2008 Reconstruction Project,the City introduced a driveway reconstruction program. Residents within the project area could reconstruct their driveway using the City's Contractor. The driveway work was bid through the large City contract allowing for reduced G:\Recon_Projects\TRN15-000006 Credit River Road\Feasbility Report\2015 Credit River Road Feasibility Report.doc Page 9 pricing on the driveway work. Residents were required to pay the costs up front prior to construction based on the calculation and letter from the City's Engineering Department. In 2013,the City revised the program in order to streamline the process. Private driveway bid items were still included in the project bids but estimates and payments for the private driveway was between the property owner and contractor. The City was not involved in the transaction except for auditing of the contractor's quotes when requested by the property owner. This program in the revised form is proposed to be continued for the 2015 Improvement Projects Street Lighting Street lighting is proposed to be installed on Credit River Road per City guidelines. It is anticipated that six traditional style lights will be furnished and installed by Xcel Energy at a total estimated cost of $10,000. Street signage will also be replaced with this project. The street lighting and new signage will be an assessable component of the project. Typical traditional style street light .Z:11&11 ;�- Funding It is proposed that the benefiting property owners will be assessed for street and storm sewer construction. The property tax levy will be used to finance the City's portion of the street reconstruction costs including all costs associated with the construction of the concrete sidewalk. The Sewer and Water Enterprise Funds are proposed to finance the water and sanitary sewer improvements including the restoration of yards and driveways beyond the street impact. The Sanitary Sewer Trunk Fund is proposed to finance the forcemain and lift station improvements. The Water Quality Fund will be used to finance construction items relating to water quality benefits. The driveway reconstruction program will be entirely funded by private households participating in the program.

With a total estimated project cost of$2,660,276.54 and estimated bond issue of$1,094,617.77 the assessed amount of$399,185.10 would be equivalent to 36.5% of the total bond issue. The estimated assessment amount is proposed to be $14,785 per unit based on calculations per the assessment policy. This amount is higher than past amounts for the same type of improvement project due to frontage of properties on one side of Credit River Road. This type of street configuration reduces the number of assessable units for the entire project. The estimated assessment amount could be reduced to bring the amount in line with past assessments for similar projects. Since use of bonding available through MN Statutes Chapter 429 requires that a minimum of 20% of the total bond issue amount be recovered through special assessments, the total assessment amount would need to be at least $218,924 to meet the requirement.

The total estimated cost of the recommended improvements is $2,660,276.54. The estimated total project assessment amount is $399,185.10. A portion of the cost of this project is proposed to be assessed to the benefiting property owners with watermain and sanitary sewer improvement costs being funded through the Sewer Fund, Water Fund, and Trunk Sewer Fund. The estimated assessment amount needs to be a minimum of 20% of the bonding amount to meet MN State Statute Chapter 429 requirements to use bonding for the improvement project.

Date: June 20, 2014 Re: Sanitary Sewer Study Franklin Trail Area Enclave at Cleary Lake Area WSB Project No. 1964-17 The City of Prior Lake asked WSB &Associates to evaluate the capacity of the sanitary sewer system in the southeast region of the City. Two lift stations are critical to the system capacity in this region. These two lift stations are the Franklin Trail Lift Station and the Credit River Lift Station. A Location Map for both of these lift stations and the proposed additional service areas is shown in the Appendix. FRANKLIN TRAIL LIFT STATION The Franklin Trail neighborhood currently serves 432 existing homes. The waste water from these homes flows by gravity to the Franklin Trail lift station which is located between 16253 Franklin Trail and 16281 Franklin Trail,on the east side of the roadway. The forcemain exiting the lift station flows south on Franklin Trail across CSAH 21 and connects to a gravity sanitary sewer located within Franklin Trail south of CSAH 21. The gravity sewer ultimately connects into the 24-inch trunk sanitary sewer that is located along the east side of TH 13. There is an existing 8-inch sanitary sewer stub, located between 16147 Crossandra Circle and 5798 Crossandra Street, located to the east along CSAH 44,that was installed to provide future service to the vacant property and existing homes that are currently on well and septic. The existing capacity of the lift station and improvements that would be needed to accommodate approximately 300 additional homes was evaluated. Franklin Trail Lift Station Capacity: Currently,the existing Franklin Trail Lift Station has a wet well diameter of 6-feet and a depth of about 24-feet. The pumping capacity of the existing lift station is 277,920 gpd(gallons per day) based on the pumping capacity of 193 gpm which was provided by the City. The current flow to the lift station is 61,142 gpd which was also provided by the City. Per Ten State Standards,we need to use a peak factor of four when computing peak flows. The existing peak flow is therefore 244,568 gpd(61,142 x 4). St.Cloud• Minneapolis•St.Paul Equal Opportunity Employer wsbeng.com KA01964-170V.dmin\DoosV.4emo-Ipoppla•061914.doo Mr. Poppler June 20, 2014 Page 2 Based on this,the excess capacity of the existing lift station is as follows: 277,920 gpd—244,568 gpd= 33,352 gpd Converting 33,352 gpd into the number of additional homes that can be added is calculated as follows: 33,352 gpd x(1 person/100 gpd)x(1 home/2.5 people)x(1/4 peak factor)=33 homes The current lift station can therefore accommodate 33 additional homes without any improvements. This is a conservative number and likely adding between 30—50 homes should be feasible. Franklin Trail Lift Station—Additional Service Area: WSB first looked at the current configuration of the Franklin Trail lift station to determine if we could gain capacity be adjusting the allowable levels within the wet well. Unfortunately,there is not enough height available in the existing wet well to accommodate any additional flow. Therefore,to facilitate the addition of 300+additional homes to the system either the pumps will need to be replaced with larger pumps with Variable Frequency Drives(VFDs)or an entire new lift station will need to be installed. It was confirmed that the existing 6-foot diameter lift station would be large enough to fit new larger pumps. Estimated construction costs for these two options are as follows: • Renovation(new pumps,valve vault, etc.) $150,000 • Full Replacement $250,000 In addition,with the proposed increase to the discharge coming from the lift station,the existing 6-inch diameter forcemain will be inadequate. A full replacement with 8-inch forcemain will be required for both lift station options. There are two potential alternative routes that could be used for the replacement of the forcemain. Alternative No. 1 would be to install all new forcemain from the Franklin Trail Lift Station south to CSAH 21 and then west all the way to the existing 8-inch gravity sewer located along CSAH 21. The estimated construction cost to replace the forcemain as Alternative No. 1 is as follows: • 1,850 linear feet= $134,500 01,050 linear feet x $90 per linear foot(assumed directional drilling) = $94,500 0 800 linear feet x$50 per linear foot(assumed open cut) =$40,000 This assumes that the new forcemain is constructed using directional drilling along Franklin Trail from the lift station and south to Credit River Rd and using open cut installation along Credit River Road. Credit River Rd is slated for reconstruction in the City's CIP and the installation of new forcemain should be scheduled accordingly. Alternative No. 2 would be to install all new forcemain from the Franklin Trail Lift Station north to the 24-inch trunk sanitary sewer located along TH 13. Franklin Trail, from the lift station to CSAH 44 is slated for reconstruction in the near future. The estimated construction cost to KA01964.1701Adn in\D.,%1 .-1popplc-061914.d- Mr. Poppler June 20,2014 Page 3 replace the forcemain considers open cut installation for the portion of forcemain from the lift station to CSAH 44 and considers directionally drilling the force main from CSAH 44 to the 24- inch trunk sanitary sewer located along TH 13: • 2,500 linear feet= $165,560 0 1,486 linear feet x$50 per linear foot=$74,300 0 1,014 linear feet x $90 per linear foot = $91,260 Franklin Trail is slated for reconstruction in the City's CIP and the installation of new forcemain, should Alternative No. 2 be selected, should be scheduled accordingly. A Franklin Trail Lift Station Forcemain Alternatives map is included in the Appendix outlining both of these alternatives. The best alternative should be selected based on project scheduling and annexation timing. It should be noted that we are assuming the 24-inch trunk sanitary sewer can handle the additional flow proposed throughout this study. A 24-inch gravity sewer,placed at minimum grade, can handle approximately 2,900 gpm of flow. The addition of the annexation area of 300 homes is approximately 115 gpm making it a 4%addition if considered conservatively. Adding the additional 300 homes would be considered negligible. CREDIT RIVER LIFT STATION The Credit River Lift Station currently serves a significant area in eastern Prior Lake. Currently, the lift station serves approximately 277 residential units and 136 acres of industrial land use. The lift station is platted for 151 additional residential units that are currently under development. Additional acreage may be served by the Credit River List Station and has been analyzed as part of this study.A Credit River Lift Station Service Area Map is included in the Appendix. The areas being served can be broken down into three categories: Fully Developed Plat Approved/Partially Developed Undeveloped/Unsewered The neighborhoods that are Fully Developed include the following: A) Wilderness Ponds and Deerfield Single Family homes B) Deerfield Condominiums C) Courtwood Village D) Enclave at Cleary Lake 1St Addition E) City of Prior Lake Fire Station The neighborhoods that are Plat Approved/Partially Developed include the following: F) Courtwood Village (Lot 1 Block 1) G) Deerfield Industrial Park H) Welcome Avenue Industrial Park K:W 1964-170\dmio\Dws%1emo-Ipoppla-061914.dw Mr. Poppler June 20, 2014 Page 4 I) Eagle Creek Estates J) Enclave at Cleary Lake 2nd Addition The properties that are currently Undeveloped/Unsewered but will ultimately be served by the Credit River Lift Station include the following: K) The unsewered property located to the west and east of the Enclave at Cleary Lake L) The undeveloped land immediately to the east of Welcome Avenue that is within Credit River Township. M) The existing small lot single family homes located within Credit River Township to the east of Welcome Avenue. I) The unsewered property located south of the Deerfield Industrial Park. O) The undeveloped land immediately east of Enclave at Cleary Lake 2nd Addition. Credit River Lift Station Capacity: Currently,the existing Credit River Lift Station has a diameter of 6-feet. The first step in our review of this area was to perform a pump down test on the Credit River Lift Station to confirm its current capacity. The test was held the morning of March 10, 2014 between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. The results of the test were that the lift station has a current capacity of 160 GPM. Based on a capacity of 160 GPM,the current Credit River Lift Station has the capacity to serve all of the existing fully developed property. However, depending on the intensity of the build out of the neighborhoods that have already received plat approval but are partially developed,the Credit River Lift Station may not have the capacity to serve all of these areas. For example, once the Eagle Creek Estates and Enclave at Cleary Lake 2nd Addition are built out,the Credit River Lift Station will be at capacity. This does not leave any capacity for the remainder of the build out of the Courtwood Village,Deerfield Industrial Park or the Welcome Avenue industrial park. Fortunately,the industrial development that has occurred in the City to date has not been very intense and doesn't create a lot of waste water flow. It is also likely that the full build out of the Eagle Creek Estates and Enclave at Cleary Lake 2nd Addition will take 3 to 5 years to complete. We therefore strongly recommend that the City include in your 5-year Capital Improvement Plan the replacement and upgrade of the Credit River Lift Station. Included with the lift station upgrade will be the need to replace the existing forcemain from the lift station to the west along CSAH 21. The new forcemain should connect into the existing 24-inch trunk main and not the existing 8-inch gravity line. The existing 8-inch gravity sewer does not have capacity to accommodate the flow from the Credit River Lift Station. It is recommended to construct a new lift station and abandon the existing lift station. A dual lift station option would require an upgrade of the existing pumps to provide proper head when the two units pump concurrently, addition of a diversion structure with a weir plate, and would require twice the operation and maintenance cost. A dual lift station at this time is not cost- effective. The estimated cost for the construction of a new lift station is as follows: K:W1964-170\dmin\DmsW=o-1poppla.061914.dm Mr. Poppler June 20, 2014 Page 5 • Lift Station=$350,000 o Pumps=$100,000 o Valve vault=$50,000 o Motor Control Center= $75,000 o Wet well=$125,000 • Forcemain=$360,900 0 2,135 LF x$90/LF (assumed directional drilling)_ $192,150 0 3,375 LF x $50/LF (assumed open cut)_ $168,750 This assumes that the new forcemain is constructed using directional drilling from the lift station along Credit River Rd to Fish Point Rd and using open cut installation along Credit River Road from Fish Point Rd to the existing 24-inch trunk sanitary sewer. Credit River Rd is slated for reconstruction in the City's CIP and the installation of new forcemain should be scheduled accordingly. A figure showing the forcemain replacement is provided in the Appendix. In the meantime,we recommend that the City increase their monitoring efforts at this lift station to ensure that capacity is not exceeded. Credit River Lift Station—Additional Service Area: In addition to reviewing the capacity of the Credit River Lift Station, WSB also analyzed the ability of the City's sanitary sewer system to serve the undeveloped property to the west and east of the Enclave at Cleary Lake. These 140 acres are shown as areas K and O on the Credit River Lift Station Service Area map in the Appendix. We reviewed three potential alignments for providing sanitary sewer to this area. Alternative No. 1 included connecting to the existing sanitary sewer located at the intersection of Parkwood Drive and Ridgewood Court. The sanitary sewer at this location is 8-inches in diameter and has an invert elevation of 996.04. Alternative No. 2 involves connecting to the existing sanitary sewer located at the southern terminus of Fish Point Rd. This is also 8-inches in diameter and has an invert elevation of 947.68. Alternative No. 3 would connect to the proposed stub that will be constructed as part of the Enclave at Cleary Lake 2nd Addition. The stub will be 8-inches in diameter and will have an invert elevation of 954.4. A map showing these three alternatives is included in the Appendix. The topography in this area ranges in elevation from 942 to 996 feet and generally slopes from southwest to northeast. Alternative No. 1,which is the connection to the existing sanitary sewer at Parkwood Drive and Ridgewood Court, is not feasible because the sanitary sewer is not deep enough to service this area. Alternative No. 2,the connection at the south end of Fish Point Rd, has the necessary depth to serve this area. Unfortunately,the existing Deerfield Lift Station and forcemain,which this sewer line flows to, lacks the capacity to take on this additional flow. The forcemain leaving the Deerfield Lift Station is approximately 4,000-feet of which 3,500-feet is placed in a heavy residential area making construction costly. In addition,the forcemain connects into an 8-inch gravity sewer line near the intersection of Hillcrest and Lyons that does not have the capacity to support the additional flow from the Enclave Area. Replacing the Deerfield Lift Station,the existing forcemain, and a portion of gravity sewer near the Deerfield area proves this option not cost-effective. K:\01964-170\6.dmin0—Nemo-1popple.061914.dm Mr. Poppler June 20,2014 Page 6 Ultimately, our recommendation is Alternative No. 3 which is to serve this area utilizing the proposed sanitary sewer stub from the Enclave at Cleary Lake 2nd Addition. Our analysis confirms the capacity of the existing downstream sanitary sewer system, including the existing lift station currently located within the Enclave at Cleary Lake 1St Addition, all the way to the Credit River Lift Station. Depending on how this property is mass graded in the future it may require a new lift station to be constructed to service the northwest portion of the property. It is also important to note that no development should occur until the Credit River Lift Station and forcemain have been improved. ENCLAVE AT CLEARY LIFT STATION The Enclave at Cleary Lift Station currently serves approximately 119 residential units as shown as Areas D and J on the Credit River and Enclave at Cleary Lift Station Service Area map in the Appendix. In the future,the lift station is proposed to serve an additional 140 acres of potential residential area shown as areas K and O on the Credit River and Enclave at Cleary Lift Station Service Area map in the Appendix. The additional acreage may be served by the Enclave at Cleary Lift Station and has been analyzed as part of this study. Enclave at Cleary Lift Station Capacity: Currently,the existing Enclave at Cleary Lift Station has a diameter of 6-feet and has a pumping rate of 207 gpm as calculated by City Staff. Based on the assumption of 2.5 homes built per acre on the undeveloped 140 additional acres proposed to be served by the Enclave at Cleary Lift Station,the existing lift station has capacity to serve the proposed areas. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS During an initial review, City staff's concern was that the Credit River Lift Station was of less capacity than the Franklin Trial Lift Station. However, based on discussion with Public Works staff, it was determined that the Franklin Trail Lift Station does not flow to the Credit River Lift Station as suggested by GIS records. The capacity of one lift station does not relate to the capacity of the other. Overall,the sanitary sewer flow in this region is less than generally anticipated. Exfiltration may play a role in the reduced flows measured at lift stations throughout the City. Based on the overall analysis the following are suggested recommendations: Upsizing of the forcemains for both the Franklin Trail and Credit River Lift Stations should be scheduled to occur with scheduled road reconstruction projects of Credit River Rd and/or Franklin Trail to reduce the cost of replacement.

We understand a geotechnical exploration program was required to depict the subsurface conditions in the proposed pavement areas and provide boring logs depicting the subsurface conditions. This report presents the results of the field exploration, our laboratory testing, geotechnical review, and recommendations. 1.1 Scope of Work We recently performed a geotechnical exploration program in accordance with our September 12, 2014, proposal and your subsequent Standard Agreement for Professional Services dated September 22, 2014 as authorization by the City of Prior Lake to proceed. The scope of our work for the project was as follows: 1. Arrange to have buried public utilities marked through the Gopher-State-One-Call System. 2. Explore the subsurface conditions by performance of ten (10) standard penetration test borings to unit depths ranging from 10' to 24' in various roadway/pavement areas. Soil boring B7 was deleted from the work scope due to an existing on-going construction project/utilities at that location limiting site access. 3. Visually classify the extracted soil samples and perform laboratory testing including moisture content, gradation tests and Atterberg Limit tests as needed to aid in soil classification and to determine engineering properties. 4. Prepare a formal geotechnical report which includes the following information: a. Logs of the soil test borings showing the existing pavement profile where applicable, soil and groundwater data, including the N-values. b. A site plan showing the approximate boring locations. c. Written description of encountered soil and groundwater conditions. Project Number ESP017939P October 31,2014 Page 3 of 16 element' d. Results of any laboratory testing performed. e. Pavement recommendations for bituminous pavement design for Credit River Road (7-ton standard). f. Provide alternative concrete pavement design recommendations. The scope of our work is intended for geotechnical purposes only. This scope is not intended to explore for the presence or extent of environmental contamination at the site. However, through normal human sensing, it should be noted that petroleum type odors were detected within soil samples from boring B2 from 2' to 4' below the drilling surface collected in the field at the time of drilling operations. 2.0 FIELD TESTING PROGRAM 2.1 Soil Borings A total of nine (9) soil test borings were drilled on Credit River Road or planned future alignment between September 30 and October 2, 2014. The approximate boring locations are shown on the attached site plan. The borings were field staked by our drill crew based on the plan provided by the City of Prior Lake. It is our understanding that the elevations of the borings were to be performed by others during the project survey and provided at a later date. The standard penetration borings were performed with a truck mounted rotary drill rig using split-barrel sampling procedures. Water level observations were made in the boreholes during and upon completion of the drilling and sampling operations. During the field operations, the drill crew maintained logs of the subsurface conditions including changes in stratigraphy and the observed groundwater levels. The boring logs are attached. After completion of the drilling operations, the boreholes were backfilled with auger cuttings to the existing surface. Soil borings drilled in existing pavement areas were patched at the surface with cold bituminous patch matching the thickness of the existing pavement. Project Number ESP017939P October 31,2014 Page 4 of 16 element' Sampling and classification of soils were performed in general accordance with American Standards for Testing and Materials (ASTM) procedures, and are described on an attached sheet. 2.2 Surface Conditions The soil borings were drilled within existing roadway areas of Credit River Road within the City of Prior Lake. Soil borings 131-136 were drilled in areas of existing bituminous pavement of Credit River Road, soil borings 69-1310 were drilled within existing sand with gravel base aggregate shoulder, and boring B8 was drilled in green space (proposed future utility alignment) as depicted on the boring location plan. The majority of the street topography was relatively level with slight inclines and declines. Residential properties were located along the north side of Credit River Road from soil borings 131-136. Eagle Creek Avenue SE was located parallel to the south of Credit River Road. A small previously constructed pond was located at the northwest corner of Credit River Road and Fish Point Road. The surface of the pavement of Credit River Road was in poor to fair condition. The surface of the bituminous showed signs of medium severity weathering, with minor signs of pitting. Isolated portions of the pavement were observed to have fatigue (alligator) cracking or rutting. Some of the cracks observed in the pavement appeared to have been previously sealed. However, some cracks observed were not sealed or the previously sealed crack had expanded. Several utilities were observed overhead, mainly electric services. During the utility clearance process through the Gopher-State-One-Call system, several below grade utilities were identified and marked on the pavement or aggregate base by utility locate contractors. These included water, gas, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, phone and cable. Project Number ESP017939P October 31,2014 Page 5 of 16 @ element" 2.3 Subsurface Conditions The subsurface conditions encountered at the test boring locations are shown on the test boring logs. The boring logs also indicate the possible geologic origin of the materials encountered. We wish to point out that the subsurface conditions at other times and locations on the site may differ from those found at our test locations. If different conditions are encountered during construction, it is necessary that you contact us so that our recommendations can be reviewed. 2.3 Subsurface Conditions The boring logs indicate a generalized soil profile consisting of fill at the surface, extending to 2' at boring location B1 up to the termination depth of 14' at boring location B6, underlain by buried topsoil (boring B1), glacial till (borings B2, and 133), glacial outwash (borings B5, B8, B9 and B10). Generally, the fill was comprised of a layer of bituminous pavement at the surface ranging from 4" to 8'/z"thick underlain by sand and gravel aggregate ranging from 2" to 20" thick underlain by mixtures and layers of sandy lean clay, silty sand, clayey sand, sand with silt and sand with various amounts of gravel. The fill profile in borings B5, B8 and B10 also included lenses of organic lean clay topsoil. The base aggregate as observed in its current condition may not meet the current requirements for Mn/DOT Specification 3138 Aggregate for Surface and Base Courses. The fill was found to be very loose to medium dense, based on the penetration values (N-values) obtained during drilling activities. Buried topsoil and weathered soil was encountered directly below the fill within boring B1. The topsoil/weathered soil extended to a depth of 7'/2' below the surface of the boring. The topsoil was comprised of organic lean clay (CL-OL), and the weathered soil was comprised of lean clay (CL). The topsoil/weathered soil layers were in a soft to firm condition based on the N- values obtained during drilling. Project Number ESP017939P October 31,2014 Page 6 of 16 @element' The glacial till encountered below the fill within borings B2 and B3, below the weathered soil within B1,and within outwash layers of boring B5 included sandy lean clay (CL) and lean clay with sand (CL) and various amounts of gravel. The glacial till was generally in a soft to firm condition, based on the penetration values (N-values)obtained during drilling activities. The glacial outwash encountered below the fill within borings B5, B8, B9 and B10 was mainly comprised of sand (SP), clayey sand (SC) and silty sand (SM) with various amounts of gravel. A cobble was encountered in boring B5 at a depth of 4'/2 feet below the drilling surface. The glacial outwash was in a medium dense to dense condition, based on the penetration values (N-values) obtained during drilling activities. Fine alluvium comprised of lean clay (CL) was encountered within the till layers of boring B3, and below the fill layers of boring B4. The fine alluvium was generally in a firm condition based on the N-values obtained during drilling activities, however, a very soft layer was encountered within boring B3. Based on normal human sensing, product odors were detected within fill of boring B2 from a depth of 2' to 4' at the time of drilling activities. Product odors were not detected within the remaining soil samples collected at the site. This does not eliminate the possibility that petroleum based products may be present at other locations within the reconstruction project area away from our boring locations. Environmental screening and laboratory tests were not included in our work scope for this project. 2.4 Water Level Conditions Water level observations were made during and after completion of the drilling operations. Groundwater was not encountered within borings B2-B3, and B5-B9 at the time of drilling operations. Groundwater is most likely just beneath the depths of these shallow borings or due to the soil types encountered not risen to its hydrostatic level during drilling operations as the mottled soils would indicate. Groundwater was encountered within soil boring B1 at a Project Number ESP017939P October 31,2014 Page 7 of 16 element'" depth of 19.3', soil boring B4 at a depth of 10.0', and within soil boring B10 at a depth of 21.9' below the drilling surface. The glacial till soil above the groundwater elevation in several borings showed signs of mottling and iron oxide staining. The mottled or iron oxide stained soil is an indication of water being present within the soil mass previously, most likely during previous periods of wet weather. Since the clayey and silty soils encountered in the borings are relatively impervious or slow draining, it may take several days for groundwater in a borehole to rise to its hydrostatic level. If more accurate water level determinations are required, piezometers should be installed and the water level monitored over a period of time. In general, water levels may fluctuate throughout the year depending on variations in the amount of precipitation, degree of evaporation, surface run-off characteristics and other related hydrogeological factors. 3.0 LABORATORY REVIEW AND TESTING The soil samples obtained during the drilling operations were logged, labeled, sealed and delivered to our laboratory for further review. An Element geotechnical engineer classified the soil samples in general conformance with ASTM standards. Representative samples were submitted to the laboratory for moisture content and gradation testing and the results are attached or shown on the boring logs. 4.0 REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the information obtained from our geotechnical work and our understanding or assumptions of the project data, we made our engineering review which resulted in recommendations which are presented in the following sections. If any of our understanding or assumptions are not correct, or if conditions observed during construction are significantly Project Number ESP017939P October 31,2014 Page 8 of 16 r►; element' different than those encountered in our geotechnical work, we should be contacted immediately so we may review our recommendations. 4.1 Proiect Data We understand the project will include street reconstruction on Credit River Road within the City of Prior Lake as defined by the 2015 Improvement project. The street reconstruction area for Credit River Road was bounded by Evans St. to the north and Adelmann St. to the south. The street reconstruction areas are shown on the attached boring location plans. It is our understanding that the reconstruction will include milling/excavating the existing pavement section where applicable and installing/repairing utilities as needed then placing a new pavement section upon approved subgrade. The exposed roadway subgrade would be test rolled and any soft areas detected by the test rolling would be corrected prior to continued construction. We were informed by the City that Credit River Road will be constructed to a 7- ton design standard. We understand that local storm sewer, watermain and sanitary sewer construction would also be installed along portions Credit River Road. Our design recommendations were based on a 20-year pavement design life with associated routine maintenance being performed as applicable to the types of pavements being constructed. We were provided estimated traffic counts by the City assuming 10 trips per day/per house along the proposed route with possible additional trips for garbage carriers and school buses. 4.2 Utility Installation Utility plans were not available at the time of this report. Based on the borings, utilities placed within the upper 10' of subgrade will generally bear upon granular or cohesive fill or naturally deposited glacial outwash, glacial till or fine alluvium soil types. In many areas, the granular or cohesive fill could be found to be in a low density condition. In some areas, soft clays and/or Project Number ESP017939P October 31,2014 Page 9 of 16 @element" soft existing fill may be encountered. This was especially apparent at boring locations B2 and B3. If very soft soils or uncompacted fill soils are encountered at pipe invert elevation, these soils may not be suitable for pipe support. We recommend unsuitable fill or very soft natural soil be over excavated, by a minimum of 1', to place a foundation or bedding for pipe support. Additional aggregate bedding material may be required if very soft wet conditions are encountered at the time of construction at the bottom of pipes/manholes, etc. Manholes or utility structures may require a minimum of 2' of aggregate bedding materials. Any organic materials found during construction should also be removed. Organic soils were encountered within soil borings 131, B5, B8, and B10 at the time of drilling operations. The foundation should be of coarse, granular material or pea gravel. The granular or aggregate materials may be separated from the subgrade by geotextile fabric, especially in loose/wet conditions. We recommend at a minimum that the exposed soils in the utility trenches be recompacted prior to new utility placement unless groundwater is present. After the foundation bedding and pipe placement, fill should be placed to attain final grades. Where pavement may be placed, the fill should be compacted to at least 95% of the Standard Proctor density (ASTM D: 698). Fill placed in the top 3 feet of subgrade for pavement should be compacted to at least 100% of the Standard Proctor density. In addition, the moisture content of the fill should be within 3% of the optimum as determined by the Standard Proctor test. Backfilling operations should be performed uniformly around structures as to not to damage them during construction. Selected on-site clays and silty soils may not be suitable for reuse as engineered fill within roadway areas due to their high moisture content and as a result their inability to obtain proper compaction during backfilling operations. As a result, some replacement of excavated soils with soils that can be readily compacted as structural backfill may be required. Project Number ESP017939P October 31,2014 Page 10 of 16 M element' Based on the soil borings isolated dewatering may be required to facilitate utility placement, especially in the area of soil boring B4 where groundwater was encountered at a depth of 10.0' below the drilling surface. Proper shoring or sloping of the excavation for utility placements per OSHA guidelines should be provided for at all times. Care should be provided by the contractor as to not to damage surrounding structures/properties. If exposed soils supporting the utilities are disturbed or become saturated they may no longer be able to support the utility. Care should be provided by the contractor as to not to disturb supporting soils otherwise additional corrective measures may be necessary. 4.3 Pavement Subwade Preparation Based on the borings, we recommend the subgrade preparation should consist of removing the existing pavement section where encountered. Any organic soils where encountered within the upper 3' of existing road grade should also be excavated. This would include within the area of boring B1, B5, B8, and B10. Consideration should also be given to excavating clayey soils within the upper 3' of subgrade where encountered and replacing them with granular soils as described below to aid in increasing the R-value at these locations. Only limited soil corrections may be required where more granular soils where encountered while drilling (i.e. boring 138). These areas should be further evaluated during construction. However, if these soils are disturbed during utility placements and mixed with clayey soil types additional corrective work may be needed. Additional excavation may also be required to allow for proper placement of the new pavement section where thinner and/or no existing pavement and aggregate base or granular section were encountered. Proper draintile systems would need to be incorporated into the design where more granular fill was placed/encountered at the surface underlain by relatively impervious clay soil types. Any contaminated soils encountered during construction should be properly tested and disposed of Project Number ESP017939P October 31,2014 Page 11 of 16 element' under standard construction practices per the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) guidelines. After the recommended excavation and ordinary surface compaction of exposed soils, engineered fill may then be placed to attain final grades. We recommend all exposed soils are thoroughly surface compacted with a large vibratory self-propelled compactor. Fill placed in the upper three feet of the subgrade should be compacted to 100% of the Standard Proctor density. The moisture content should be within 3% below and the optimum as determined by the Standard Proctor test. Moisture conditioning the soil may be required to attain the proper soil compaction. We recommend where additional fill is required within the upper 3' of subgrade be granular soils meeting Mn/DOT Specification 3149.26 Select Granular having no greater than 12% fines passing the #200 sieve and preferably no greater that 50% passing the #40 sieve. The subgrade surface, as well as the pavement surface, should be uniformly sloped to facilitate drainage of the base and sand subgrade material within the pavement system, and to avoid any ponding of water beneath the pavement. We also recommend proof-rolling the pavement subgrade to aid in detecting any loose or unstable zones. This proof-rolling should be performed with a fully loaded tandem axle dump truck. In those areas where deflection or rutting is obvious, additional excavation or reworking may be necessary. 4.4 Pavement Thickness Design Assuming the pavement subgrade preparation is performed as recommended in the preceding section and the subgrade soils are judged suitable based on a proof-roll test, we recommend the following pavement design be used: Project Number ESP017939P October 31,2014 Page 12 of 16 element' Credit River Road 7-Ton Street Section Thickness Mn/DOT Spec. 2360 Type SP12.5 Bituminous Wear Course 2" Mn/DOT Spec. 2360 Type SP12.5 Bituminous Non-wear Course 2" Mn/DOTSpec. 3138 Class 5 Aggregate Base 8" Mn/DOTSpec. 3149.2B Select Granular Fill 24" Mn/DOTSpec 3733 Type V Non-Woven Geotextile Fabric -- Approved Sub rade -- Transition zone tapers should be constructed where Credit River Road connects to existing construction and where pavement section thicknesses vary to minimize differential movement between different pavement sections. The transition tapers should begin at the bottom of the lowest section and transition to the higher section at a grade of 20 horizontal to 1 vertical (20:1). Depending on the actual site conditions at the time of construction the transition zones may need to be adjusted to properly support the new pavement. By reducing the sand section it is more likely that during periods of freezing and thawing that expansion and contraction of the subgrade soils may occur in a manner that may affect pavement performance. The City should be made aware that additional maintenance may likely be needed to sustain the slightly shorter pavement life with this option. The thickness of each of the components of the street section indicated above is assumed a minimum for construction. The design also assumed the aggregate base will be compacted to a minimum of 100% of the Standard Proctor density and the bituminous pavement placed and compacted to a minimum of 92% of the maximum specific gravity. We recommend for increased pavement performance that Mn/DOT Class V supporting the pavement be comprised of crushed limestone aggregate base. The City may consider utilization of a concrete pavement section in lieu of the bituminous pavement discussed above to add long term value to the street reconstruction projects. The concrete pavement provides for a durable long lasting surface with relatively low maintenance costs. The concrete pavement is also a more reflective surface that can add both beauty and Project Number ESP017939P October 31.2014 Page 13 of 16 AOMAVAL %) element minimize street lighting. Typical concrete pavements may last thirty to forty years with proper construction and maintenance thus greatly extending the life cycle of the pavement. We recommend placement of six inches of compacted aggregate base supporting a minimum concrete slab thickness of five inches for 7-ton roads after the subgrade is prepared as outlined above. The aggregate base provides a constructible base for concrete placement, reduces faulting, and helps dissipate loads. It is very critical for the proper performance of the concrete pavement section to be placed over approved subgrade. Proper soil compaction of the subgrade and around utilities is critical in the performance of the pavement and to minimize pavement settlements. If the subgrade fails the proof-rolling tests and is not suitable additional corrections and evaluation of the pavement section thicknesses should be performed. Additional pavement section thicknesses along with subgrade corrections may be required to properly support the concrete rigid pavement. Appropriate panel sizing, jointing, doweling, and edge reinforcement are critical for performance of the rigid pavement. The concrete should have a minimum 28-day unit compressive strength of 4000 psi and a minimum flexural strength of 580 psi. We recommend specifying 5 to 8 percent air entrainment to provide resistance to freeze-thaw deterioration. The designer should also designate a maximum water-cement ratio of 0.45 using a water-cement ratio of 0.40 or less for concrete exposed to deicers. We recommend the pavement be constructed in accordance with the American Concrete Institute: ACI 330-"Guide for Design and Construction of Concrete Parking Lots". Project Number ESP017939P October 31,2014 Page 14 of 16 element 5.0 CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS 5.1 Excavation Safety All excavations should comply with the requirements of O.S.H.A. 29 CFR, Part 1926, Subpart P, "Excavation and Trenches". This document states that excavation safety is the responsibility of the contractor. Reference to these O.S.H.A. requirements should be included in the project specifications. 5.2 Quality Control Testing We recommend that all geotechnical related work, including subgrade preparation, and engineered fill placement, be observed by the project geotechnical engineer or their representatives. The geotechnical engineer will perform appropriate testing to verify the geotechnical conditions that have been anticipated during preparation of this report. As variations in soil conditions may exist at locations and elevations other than those of our borings, we recommend the geotechnical engineer be retained to observe the soil conditions during site preparation. We recommend in-place field density testing be performed in the compacted new fill as detailed in the Appendix. 5.3 Cold Weather Conditions Construction during cold weather should be exercised with care. We have included a sheet entitled "Precautions for Excavating and Refilling During Cold Weather." Please refer to this sheet in the Appendix for specific details. 5.4 Soil Sensitivity The silty and clayey soils at this site are susceptible to disturbance from construction traffic, especially in wet conditions. If the soils become disturbed, additional excavation may be required. Therefore, proper excavation equipment during construction should be used to minimize the potential for disturbance.

Using this procedure, a 2" O.D. split barrel sampler is driven into the soil by a 140 pound weight falling 30". After an initial set of 6", the number of blows required to drive the sampler an additional 12" is known as the penetration resistance, or N value. The N value is an index of the relative: density of cohesionless soils and the consistency of cohesive soils. Thin wall tube samples were obtained according to ASTM D 1587 where indicated by the appropriate symbol on the boring logs. Rock core samples, if taken, were obtained by rotary drilling in accordance with ASTM D 2113. Power auger borings, if performed, were done in general accordance with ASTM D 1452. Soil Classification As the samples were obtained in the field, they were visually and manually classified by the crew chief in accordance with ASTM D 2488. Representative portions of the samples were then returned to the laboratory for further examination and for verification of the field classification. Logs of the borings indicating the depth and identification of the various strata, the N value, the laboratory test data, water level information and pertinent information regarding the method of maintaining and advancing the drill holes are attached. The descriptive terminology and symbols used on the boring logs are also attached. Form GEO.005 element Element St. Paul PREREQUISITES FOR SOUND ENGINEERING PRACTICE In order to properly evaluate the foundation soils at a building site, it is imperative for our firm to know exactly where the building will be placed, its size, and the elevation of the foundation elements. Without this information, a judgment regarding the adequacy of the preparatory foundation earthwork is not possible. This project data is especially critical in situations when the excavation extends below the footing grade and compacted fill is required to attain building elevations. In these situations, the excavation would require lateral oversizing to provide suitable lateral distribution of the footing loads. Offset batter boards of the building lines stakes provide the best on-site verification of the building location and size. It must be recognized that Element St. Paul does not practice in the field of surveying. Therefore, we must rely on staking by others. If Element St. Paul is required to perform the survey, we will retain a licensed surveyor and invoice our client for the amount per our current fee schedule. Provision of the building foundation plans is also important so that we may properly perform our engineering judgments. If the construction is redesigned or otherwise moved subsequent to our work, we should be informed so our firm can assess if additional engineering observation is required or suggest sound engineering alternatives. We cannot be responsible for any soil foundation system if the structure has been relocated with respect to the excavation subsequent to our observations. Form GEO_007 element* Element St. Paul CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATIONS AND TESTING The recommendations made in this report have been made based on the subsurface conditions found in the borings. It is possible that there are soil and water conditions on site that were not represented by the borings. Consequently, on-site observation during construction is considered integral to the successful implementation of the recommendations. We believe that qualified field personnel need to be on site at the times outlined below to observe the site conditions and effectiveness of the construction. We recommend that the completed excavation and prepared subgrade be observed and tested by a soils engineer/technician prior to fill placement or construction of any foundation elements. These observations would be necessary to judge if all unsuitable materials have been removed from within the planned construction area and that an appropriate degree of lateral oversize has been provided for in those areas where fill will be placed below the bottom of foundation grade. We recommend a representative number of field density tests be taken in all engineered fill placed to aid in judging its suitability. We suggest that at least one density test be performed for at least every 2,500 square feet of engineered fill placed for every 2' of fill depth. Additional tests should be taken where confined areas are compacted. Any proposed fill material should be submitted to the laboratory for tests to check compliance with our recommendations and project specifications. Form GEO_009 element' Element St. Paul PRECAUTIONS FOR EXCAVATING AND REFILLING DURING COLD WEATHER The winter season in this area presents specific problems for foundation construction. Soils that are allowed to freeze undergo a moisture volume expansion, resulting in loss of density. These frost-expanded soils will consolidate upon thawing, causing settlement of any structure supported on them. To prevent this settlement, frost should not be allowed to penetrate into the soils below any proposed structure. Ideally, winter excavation should be limited to areas small enough to be refilled to grade higher than footing grade on the same day. Typically, these areas should be filled to floor grade. Trenching back down to unfrozen soils for foundation construction can then be performed just prior to footing placement. The excavated trenches should be protected from freezing by means of insulating or heating during foundation construction. Backfilling of the foundation trenches should be performed immediately after the below-grade foundation construction is finished. In addition, any interior footings or footings designed without frost protection should be extended below frost depth, unless adequate precautions are taken to prevent frost intrusion until the building can be enclosed and heated. In many cases, final grade cannot be attained in one day's time, even though small areas are worked. In the event final grade cannot be attained in one day's time, frost can be expected to develop overnight. Leaving a layer of loose soil on top of the compacted material overnight can minimize the depth of frost penetration. However, any frost that forms in this loose layer, or snow that accumulates, should be completely removed from the fill area prior to compaction and additional soil placement. Frozen soils or soils containing frozen material or snow should never be used as fill material. After the structure has been enclosed, all floor slab areas should be subjected to ample periods of heating to allow thawing of the soil system. Alternatively, the frozen soil can be completely removed and be replaced with an engineered fill. The floor slab areas should be checked at random and representative locations for remnant areas of frost and density tests should be performed to document fill compaction to slab placement. Due to the potential problems associated with fill placement during cold weather, a full- time, on-site soils technician should monitor any filling operations. Full-time monitoring aids in detecting areas of frozen material, or potential problems with frozen material within the fill, so the appropriate measures can be taken. The choice of fill material is particularly important during cold weather, since clean granular fill material can be placed and compacted more efficiently than silty and clayey soils. In addition, greater magnitudes of heaving can be expected with freezing of the more frost susceptible silts and clays.
