LARRY ANDERSON, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING MSA CONSULTING ENGINEERS TO
PREPARE FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR CARRIAGE
HILLS PARKWAY WITHIN KNOB HILL PLAT (PROJECT #95-05)
FEBRUARY 6, 1995
INTRODUCTION:
BACKGROUND'
The purpose of this Agenda item is to authorize MSA Consulting
Engineers to prepare plans and specifications for Carriage Hills Parkway
within the west portion of the Knob Hill Plat.
The developer in order to facilitate the collector street improvements for
the plat agreed to grade Carriage Hills Parkway in order to have the west
segment of Carriage Hills Parkway included in the 1994 ClP. As a result
this road segment was included in the 1994 ClP for construction in 1994.
The east segment of Carriage Hills Parkway is included in the 1995 ClP
for 1999. The Update from January 27, 1995, indicated that this project
(the west segment) would need to be accelerated from 1999 to 1995.
This statement is in error since the west section was previously included ·
in the 1994 ClP construction in 1994.
By having the developer grade the roadway this stretches the City's
Municipal State Aid dollars, and provides the City an incentive to make
this a higher priority. Grading is normally a City responsibility and cost.
On August 1, 1994, the City Council approved Resolution 94-46 providing
Preliminary Plat approval for the plat of Knob Hill. Preliminary Plat
approval was subject to 35 conditions. The developer has submitted a
petition to remove the 35 conditions.
Item No. 29 of the approving Resolution is as follows:
"Grading, utility, lighting, and street plan needs to be provided acceptable
to the City Engineer. Developer agree to pave the area within Carriage
Hills Parkway as part of the Developer's Agreement."
Please note that the requirement is to pave Carriage Hills Parkway. All
the discussions with the developer were to grade Carriage Hills Parkway
and not to pave the Parkway. Item No. 29 is in error. In speaking with
Planning Director Don Rye, the appropriate method to correct this would
be to amend this condition as part of the Final Plat approval.
The estimated project cost without grading is $530,000. The grading cost
for this segment would be $65,000 based upon the average grading cost
of Carriage Hills Parkway from CSAH 21 to Pike Lake Trail. The funding
mechanism would be from a combination of Municipal State Aid dollars
and street collector fund.

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNf['Y EMPLOYER
DISCUSSION:
MSA Consulting Engineers have quoted the City for design and
construction services on an hourly basis with a cost not to exceed
$29,400 for design and $36,900 for construction services. This amounts
to 7% for design and 8.8% for construction services.

A2695C.ENG95
Staff requested the developer provide security for the cost of the design in
the event the plat is not finalized. Prior to the meeting, the developer is to
provide a deposit of either a Letter of Credit or cashier's check in the
amount of $29,400 to be used for payment of any engineering design
services if the plat is not approved by June 1, 1995.
The issue is whether the design should proceed prior to the Final Plat
approval. By commencing with the design, bids can be received at an
earlier date, thereby reducing City expenditures. In the event the plat is
not finalized, the City can recoup the design costs through the security
described above.
The alternatives are as follows:
,
Approve the authorization of MSA Consulting Engineers to
prepare final plans and specifications for Carriage Hills Parkway
from Pike Lake Trail to Chatonka Beach Trail in accordance with
the costs set forth above.
.
Do not authorize the preparation of plans for Carriage Hills
Parkway.
,
Table this item for a specific reason.
The recommendation is to approve Alternative No. 1.
Project 95-05 will be paid through Municipal State Aid Funds and Street
Collector Funds.
Make a motion to authorize MSA Consulting Engineers to prepare plans
and specifications for Carriage Hills Parkway between Pike Lake Trail and
Chatonka~~each/~il.
