Operating Standards for all Parks and Public Areas
Operating standards for each park or public area have been established through careful
consideration of several factors, including public visibility, safety, overall functionality,
and frequency and type of use. TABLE 1 indicates the amenities that are available at each
location, along with a number indicating the assigned maintenance level. Maintenance
levels are defined on pages 23-29.
Each park and public area will undergo an annual, pre-season general inspection in
March. The purpose of the inspection is to identify any major areas of disrepair to
fencing, benches, parking lots, playing fields, irrigation systems, sidewalks/trails, turf,
shelters, play equipment, or any other amenity located within each area. Those repairs
deemed necessary and immediate by the Parks Foreman shall be assigned a priority
above that of regularly scheduled maintenance.
All inspection observations, actions and repairs shall be documented in Cartegraph.

Bidding Policy
S:\POLICIES\Bidding Policy\BIDDING POLICY.docx
BIDDING POLICY
Adopted January 4, 2021
SUMMARY/PURPOSE
This policy sets forth the general requirements for bidding and advertising for competitively bid
projects that are estimated to exceed $175,000. It defines and clarifies the city’s bidding process
that is established by state law, including processes specific to electronic bidding. Contracts that
involve public improvements under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 429 may have additional
requirements. The city of Prior Lake follows Minnesota law regarding municipal contracts,
including procedures for competitive bidding and all public contract requirements.
PROCEDURE
1. Approval. Projects or procurements must be either in the approved budget or require city
council authorization prior to bidding. All competitively bid contracts require city council
action awarding a contract.
2. Plans and Specifications. Prior to seeking bids, the city must prepare plans and specifications
that meet all laws and requirements. A standard contract template shall also be used and
will be modified as necessary for any given project. The plans and specifications shall include
the city's contract requirements based upon the estimated contract amount. Bid bonds,
responsible bidder, insurance, performance and payment bonds, and withholding affidavits
are required for all competitively bid contracts. Other submissions may also be necessary.
3. Advertisement for Bid. Specific language is required for the advertisement for bids. The city's
standard advertisement for bids should be used to ensure required language is included.
When using electronic bidding, the notice will clearly state that paper bids will not be
accepted and it will further specify the form and manner required for all electronic
submissions. Projects estimated to exceed $175,000 require publication in the city's official
newspaper at least ten days prior to the last day for submission of the bids (publication in
an industry trade journal is optional). An affidavit of publication is required from each entity
that published an advertisement. Minnesota Statutes, section 331A.03 authorizes the city to
replace publication in the city’s official newspaper with dissemination on the city’s website,
provided that the city follows the procedural requirements contained in said statute.
4. Bid Requirements. Required documents from the bidders may include but are not limited to
a bid bond, bid form containing responsible contractor language, human rights certification,
and affidavit of non-collusion. All paper bids must be sealed and identified on the outside
wrapper. When using electronic bidding, staff shall ensure that the bidding website has the
functionality to facilitate submission of all required information and documents to comply
with all state bidding laws.
S:\POLICIES\Bidding Policy\BIDDING POLICY.docx
5. Bid Opening. The bid opening will take place in a conference room, council chambers, or
other public place where any person present may observe. Two city staff or agents will be
present when the bid time expires. All bids shall be opened or, in the case of electronic bids,
viewed online, acknowledged and read aloud. Bid results will become available after this
process is complete, provided that only the name of the bidder and the bid amount is made
public until after the city council awards a contract. For electronic bids, all bid submittals and
documents for the winning contractor, including the bid tabulation and abstract, shall be
scanned and retained.
6. After Bid Opening. Bids should be evaluated to determine the responsibility of the bidder. If
a contract is awarded, it must be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. The City has the
right to reject all bids. If city staff determines the lowest bidder is not the lowest responsible
bidder, the city attorney shall be contacted for consultation and justification prior to
recommendation and action by the city council. Once a contract is awarded, a signed
contract, certificate of insurance, performance bond, payment bond, and any other items
required by the city shall be provided before a notice to proceed is issued.
7. Record Retention. All bid submissions and documents, including those submitted
electronically, shall be retained in accordance with the city’s record retention schedule.

APPENDIX B
Winter Maintenance Policy
V. WINTER MAINTENANCE POLICY
Adopted October 2002
Last Revised October 2019
Revised November 2020
This policy supersedes all previously written or unwritten policies of the City regarding snow and ice
removal. Public Works staff will review this policy periodically and will amend it as needed.
SUMMARY/PURPOSE
The purpose of this Policy is to define and outline snow and ice control objectives and procedures as
established by the City of Prior Lake.
The City of Prior Lake believes it is in the best interest of the residents for the City to assume basic
responsibility for snow and ice control on City streets. Effective ice and snow control is necessary for
routine travel and emergency services. The City will attempt to provide such control in a safe and
cost-effective manner, keeping in mind safety, budget, personnel, and environmental concerns. The
City will use City employees, City-owned or rented equipment, and/or private contractors to provide
the following level of service:
STREETS
Snow accumulation amount 1-2 inches 3-6 inches 6+ inches
Avg completion time* 8 hours 11-13 hours 13+ hours
* Avg completion time is the time necessary to remove snow from all City streets at least one time
PARKS, TRAILS, SIDEWALKS, PARKING LOTS
Snow accumulation amount 1-3 inches 4-12 inches 12+ inches
Avg completion time 10 hours 1-2 days 2-4 days
It should be noted that every winter storm has different temperatures and intensities that can affect
the amount of time crews spend with snow and ice control.
WHEN WILL CITY START SNOW OR ICE CONTROL OPERATIONS?
The Maintenance Superintendent or his/her designee will decide when to begin anti-icing, snow
removal, or ice control operations. The criteria for that decision are:
1. Air and pavement temperatures
2. Anti-icing operations may occur 48 hours in advance of an approaching storm or anticipated
frost, or prior to weekends in which forecasts call for some form of precipitation
3. Drifting or accumulation of snow that causes problems for travel
4. Icy conditions which seriously affect travel
5. Time of snowfall in relationship to heavy use of streets
Snow and ice control operations are expensive and involve the use of limited personnel and
equipment. To remain cost-effective, the Public Works Department will utilize a variety of ice control
products and continually monitor the effectiveness, environmental impact and costs of each product
applied. The Maintenance Superintendent or his/her designee will determine the appropriate
combination of chemicals to effectively control ice in the given weather conditions. Effects on the
environment are of the highest priority in selection of ice control products.
To ensure completion of priority areas, snow removal may be conducted on a 24-hour basis, which
may result in snow removal equipment being operated in residential areas during the evening, night,
and early morning hours.
ANTI-ICING
This is a common practice of being proactive to an impending snowfall or frost event. This practice
prevents the snow or frost from bonding or compacting to the pavement surface at a much lower cost
than applying dry salt products. The product most often used is salt brine, which is chloride diluted to
a 23% solution with water (one gallon of brine contains 2 pounds of salt).
HOW SNOW WILL BE PLOWED
Snow will be plowed in a manner that minimizes any traffic obstructions. Generally, the center of the
roadway will be plowed first. The snow shall then be pushed from left to right. The discharge shall go
onto the boulevard area of the street. In times of extreme snowfall, the process of clearing the streets
of snow may be delayed, and it may not be reasonably possible to completely clear the streets of all
snow.
Generally, operations shall continue until all roads are passable. Widening and clean-up operations
may continue immediately, or on the following working day depending upon conditions and
circumstances. Due to safety concerns for the plow operators and the public, operations may be
suspended after 10-12 hours to allow personnel adequate time for rest.
Cul-de-sacs will be plowed with one pass along the curb to provide an outlet for the driveways, with
snow being piled in the middle of the cul-de-sac where possible. Crews will clean up the cul-de-sac
later that day or the following workday as time permits. Snow removal will only occur when no
storage space is available in the cul-de-sac area.
DOWNTOWN SNOW REMOVAL
The downtown area will be plowed from right-of-way to right-of-way (generally storefront to
storefront) with the snow pushed into piles where feasible. Crews will remove the snow piles during
non-business hours on the day of the event if possible. Snow removal operations may be delayed
depending on weather conditions, time of day, personnel, and equipment availability.
SNOW REMOVAL
The Maintenance Superintendent or his/her designee will determine when snow will be removed by
truck from an area. Such snow removal will occur in areas where there is no room on the boulevard
for snow storage, and in areas where piles of snow have been created by City crews. Snow removal
operations will not commence until other snowplowing operations have been completed. Snow
removal operations may also be delayed depending on weather conditions, personnel, and equipment
availability. The snow will be removed and hauled to a snow storage area.
PRIORITIES AND SCHEDULE FOR SNOW REMOVAL
The City has categorized City streets, facilities, trails, sidewalks, and recreational facilities based on the
function, use volume, and importance to the welfare of the community.
Streets
Priority Plow Routes: These are high volume streets that connect major sections of the City and
provide access for emergency fire, police, and medical services.
Daytime Snow Emergency Routes: These are high volume streets that are critical to general traffic
flow and access for the City.
School and Commercial Routes: These are high to medium volume streets that provide access to key
areas in the City.
Medium Volume Residential Streets: These are medium volume streets that provide access to
multiple properties.
Low Volume Residential Streets: These are low volume streets providing access to a limited number of
properties. These routes include cul-de-sacs and alleys.
Non-Street Facilities
Non-street facilities are categorized according to the following three priorities:
High Priority Medium Priority Low Priority
Safety High-use recreation Community trails
Emergency Hockey rinks Pleasure rinks
School access
Public building access
Timetables for snow removal are based upon the priority of the trail, sidewalk, parking lot, skating
rink, or access as set forth below.
Priority 1 - Those streets classified as "Priority Plow Routes" will be plowed first. These are high
volume streets, which connect major sections of the City and provide access for emergency fire,
police, and medical services. Exhibit A illustrates the "Priority Plow Routes" and the "Daytime Snow
Emergency Routes." Non-street facilities classified as "High Priority” include the Fire Halls,
downtown area, and pedestrian routes for schools and public safety.
Priority 2 - Streets providing access to schools and commercial businesses
Priority 3 - Low volume residential streets and alleys
Priority 4 - Medium priority non-street facilities
Priority 5 - Low priority non-street facilities
PARKING RESTRICTIONS
Refer to City Code 901.207 Winter Parking Restrictions for full details.
WORK SCHEDULE FOR SNOW AND ICE CONTROL EQUIPMENT OPERATORS
Equipment operators will be expected to work 8-10 hour shifts on a regular basis. In severe snow
emergencies, operators sometimes work more than 10 consecutive hours. After a 12-hour shift, the
operators will be replaced if additional qualified personnel are available.
WEATHER CONDITIONS
Snow and ice control operations will normally be conducted only when weather conditions do not
endanger the safety of City employees and equipment. Factors that may delay snow and ice control
operations include severe cold, significant winds and/or limited visibility.
USE OF SALT AND OTHER CHEMICALS
The City will use salt and other chemicals when there is hazardous ice or slippery conditions. The City
is concerned about the cost and the effect of such chemicals on the environment and may limit its use
for that reason.
SIDEWALKS/TRAILS/PARKING LOTS
The City plows certain sidewalks and trails as illustrated on the Sidewalks and Trails Plowing map on
the City website. The following standards are adopted for providing winter maintenance to
designated trails, sidewalks, parking lots, and winter lake access:
1.Sidewalks and trails which abut private property shall not normally be cleared of snow by the
City unless designated within this Policy. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to
keep sidewalks clear of snow or ice in accordance with City Code 701.100. If notice has been
sent to owner/occupant and snow has not been removed, the City may choose to remove the
snow and ice and charge the cost of removal to the property owner in accordance with the
current Fee Schedule. Exceptions to this standard are as follows:
a.Sidewalk/trail immediately adjacent to curb or with less than 3 feet of boulevard
between sidewalk/trail and curb.
b.Sidewalk/trail along school routes (non-bus zone).
c.Sidewalk/trail adjacent to City property.
d.Sidewalk/trail located in high use recreational areas.
2.The designated sidewalks, trails, parking lots, accesses, and rinks are normally plowed, blown, or
swept. The method of snow removal depends on the amount and type of snowfall.
3.Designated trails and sidewalks will be cleared as thoroughly as possible but need not be cleared
of all ice and snow, nor maintained to bare pavement.
4.As time permits, City facilities and downtown sidewalks will be treated by City staff with salt or
other chemical to reduce ice. Other sidewalks and trails throughout the City will not be salted or
treated with chemicals.
SKATING RINKS
The following standards are adopted for providing winter maintenance to hockey and pleasure
skating rinks:
1.All rinks with warming houses will be swept and flooded Monday through Friday, as needed.
2.If rinks become rough or uneven due to weather conditions (i.e. warm weather, frost boils, or
freezing rain) rinks will be shaved as time allows during normal working hours.
3.In the event of snow:
a.No rink will be maintained until snow fall ceases.
b.Maintenance crews will generally maintain rinks during normal working hours. The
Maintenance Superintendent or Parks Foreman may decide to call in a crew on
weekends or holidays to maintain rinks if snow fall exceeds 2" and it provides efficiency
to remove snow (i.e. freezing conditions).
c.Hockey rinks are considered a medium priority and therefore will not be maintained
until high priority winter operations are completed.
d.Pleasure rinks with warming houses are considered a low priority and therefore will not
be maintained until high and medium winter operations are completed.
4. If the condition of the ice becomes a safety concern, rinks may be closed at the discretion of
the Maintenance Superintendent or his/her designee.
5. For safety reasons, the City has a weather policy which determines rink closing. The warming
house and rinks will be closed if the actual air temperature is -5 degrees Fahrenheit or colder,
or the wind chill is -25 degrees Fahrenheit or colder. The weather cancellation hotline is
952-447-9825.
RIGHT-OF-WAY USE
The intent of the right-of-way is to provide room for snow storage, public and private utilities,
sidewalks, streetlights, traffic signs and other City uses. However, certain private improvements such
as mailboxes are permitted within this area. Other private improvements (such as irrigation system
components, fences, landscaping, or other fixtures) are not permitted.
MAILBOXES
Mailboxes must be installed in such a manner as to provide access by Post Office personnel or other
parcel carriers, and to allow for Public Works equipment to maintain the streets. Newspaper boxes
installed under mailboxes in most cases do not provide enough room for snow equipment to pass
under and can cause an indirect hit to the mailbox. A drawing showing the proper details for mailbox
placement is attached as Exhibit B. Mailboxes and posts should be constructed securely enough to
withstand the force of snow rolling off a plow or wing. Any posts that are rotten or too weak to
withstand winter weather will not be repaired by the City.
Each incident of mailbox damage will be reviewed by Public Works staff to determine whether the
mailbox damage was from plow impact or snow load. Staff will then contact the resident with their
findings. If it is determined that the plow hit the mailbox, the City will make temporary repairs, if
necessary, to ensure the resident can continue to receive mail until conditions allow for replacement
in the spring. The City will provide $75 to the property owner to make their own repairs according to
the City specifications detailed in Exhibit B. A secondary option is to have the City repair the post
and/or mailbox with a standard size, non-decorative type.
Damage resulting from the force of the snow is the responsibility of the property owner/resident.
Removing snow from the mailbox and maintaining access to the mailbox is the responsibility of the
property owner.
A property owner assumes all risk and responsibilities for replacement of mailboxes and supports that
are constructed of materials such as, but not limited to, brick and mortar, stone aggregate,
ornamental railings, or antique type support.
Snowplow operators make every effort to remove snow as close to the curb line as practical to
provide access to mailboxes for the postal department. It is not possible to provide perfect conditions
and minimize damage to mailboxes with the size of equipment the City operates. The final cleaning
adjacent to mailboxes is the responsibility of each property owner/resident.
TURF REPAIR
All instances of turf damaged by City plows shall be reported by the property owner to the Public
Works Department by May 15 for review. The damage will be reviewed by Public Works staff in the
spring when the extent of the damage can be verified. Frequently, the damage looks more severe
immediately after the occurrence than it does when the snow has melted in the spring. If the turf
needs repair as determined by Public Works staff, Public Works staff shall seed the damaged area. The
City will determine the appropriate turf repair material based on site conditions, materials, and
available City resources. It is the property owner’s responsibility to water and maintain the restored
area. The City covers the cost of one (1) restoration service per property, per year.
To reduce the likelihood of turf being damaged by City equipment, the City will provide markers free
of charge to residents to mark the edge of the road for the equipment operators. Markers can be
picked up at the Public Works Maintenance Center (17073 Adelman St SE) beginning October 1, while
supplies last. If there is damage to a boulevard area caused by City equipment, the City maintenance
crews will give priority to those residents who placed the markers along their property.
IRRIGATION, LIGHTING, TREES, FENCES, ETC.
The City will assume no responsibility for damage to underground irrigation systems, private lighting
systems, trees, shrubs, specialty grasses, rocks, fences, underground dog containment wires, retaining
walls, basketball hoops or other landscaping installed in City-controlled rights-of-way or easements.
Garbage cans and recycle bins must be placed in the driveway of the residence. Placement of garbage
cans and recycle bins in the roadway is prohibited.

Street Sweeping Policy
S:\POLICIES\Street Sweeping Policy\2021 Street Sweeping Policy.docx
STREET SWEEPING POLICY
Adopted May 2007
Last Revised December 2009
Revised July 2021
INTRODUCTION
The City of Prior Lake assumes basic responsibility for sweeping City streets. Sweeping is necessary to
promote clean and clear driving and walking surfaces, and to remove pollutants before they enter
natural waters. The City shall provide street sweeping services in a safe, cost-effective, environmentally
sensitive manner using City employees and equipment, and/or private contractors to provide this
service. Operation dates are dependent on weather conditions, personnel, and equipment availability.
The Maintenance Superintendent or his/her designee will be responsible for scheduling personnel and
equipment.
STATEMENT OF NEED
In an effort to create a consistent and measurable sweeping effort, this policy sets forth goals and
recording requirements that will allow the City of Prior Lake to monitor and improve its street sweeping
effort as new information, practices and techniques are developed in the City and the sweeping
industry.
TIME OF OPERATION
Street sweeping will occur seasonally when roads are clear of snow and ice, generally from March
through October, and generally during normal working hours (M-F 7 am - 3 pm). Extended workdays
may be utilized for spring sweeping or emergency operations.
The first sweeping will generally take place in early spring when roads are mostly dry and gutters are
clear from snow and ice. A follow-up cleaning may occur a few weeks later, after the risk of late snow
has passed. The fall sweeping will begin 1-2 weeks after leaves start to drop and will continue until the
first snowfall.
METHOD OF OPERATION
The City owns two street sweepers: a mechanical broom sweeper and regenerative air sweeper. Both
machines are generally operated at a speed of 2-5 mph, allowing for safe and efficient pickup. These
two pieces of equipment vary in utility and efficiency. The following is a summary of capabilities of each
piece of equipment:
The mechanical brush sweeper is good for picking up pollutants such as gravel and coarse sand.
The mechanical brush is well-suited for streets with heavy loads of construction material. The
mechanical brush is best for dry sweeping of roads, using its brushes to loosen up any caked-on
mud and then lifting it into its hopper. The mechanical brush is less effective for picking up fine
grain sand and silt material and does not clean out cracks well.
The regenerative air sweeper is good for picking up a wider array of sediment and is especially
effective at picking up finer grained pollutants such as coarse sand to silt and can clean into
cracks. The regenerative air is also well-suited for wet biomass such as grass clipping and leaves
and can be used on wet surfaces.
S:\POLICIES\Street Sweeping Policy\2021 Street Sweeping Policy.docx
AREAS OF OPERATION
The following tiers are established under this policy and are depicted on the Street Sweeping Map
available on the City website. These tiers are based on environmental susceptibility and/or specific
water quality concerns:
Tier 1 – Areas with drainage to Spring Lake, Upper Prior Lake, or and Lower Prior Lake
Tier 2 – Areas with no direct drainage to Spring Lake, Upper Prior Lake or Lower Prior Lake
Sweeping may occur outside Prior Lake city boundaries under agreement with other municipalities or
agencies. Sweeping efforts within the watershed that drains to Spring Lake, Upper Prior Lake and Lower
Prior Lake has a benefit for the City of Prior Lake due to the connectivity of water resources.
FREQUENCY OF OPERATION
The frequencies noted below are the minimum standards. More sweeping may occur if/when
conditions dictate and City resources allow.
Tier 1 – 5 times per year (spring, fall, and once per month in May, June, and July)
Tier 2 – 2 times per year (spring and fall)
RECORD KEEPING AND USE OF DATA
The City will collect and track data related to the sweeping effort. Information will be collected for two
purposes:
•To track the short-term variations in time, distance and volume of material collected
•To analyze the long-term effectiveness of sweeping operations
Through frequent evaluation of the data collected, the City will strive to continually improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of the operations.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE MATERIAL
Material gathered through sweeping operations will be stockpiled at a City stockpile site. This and all
stockpiles are inspected for erosion at least once annually as part of the City’s MS4 Permit. Disposal or
reuse of the material is dependent upon whether potential contaminants exist. Some material may
require disposal in a sanitary landfill; however, if tests show material to be under the recommended
thresholds for tested pollutants, other appropriate uses may be available such as miscellaneous fill
material or topsoil.

APPENDIX D
Right-of-Way and Boulevard Maintenance Policy
RIGHT-OF-WAY AND BOULEVARD MAINTENANCE POLICY
Adopted July 2021
PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to define roles and responsibilities for right-of-way and boulevard
maintenance within the City. The City will save valuable time and resources by involving
property owners and homeowners’ associations with responsibility for maintenance of these
areas. Establishing this Policy will also prevent confusion over maintenance responsibilities and
expectations in future developed areas.
The following definitions are utilized in the Policy:
right-of-way – a street, alley or easement permanently established for the passage of
persons and vehicles and the installation of public utilities, including the traveled
surface of lands adjacent that are formally dedicated to such usage
boulevard – area of land between the street and the sidewalk or bike trail (properties
without a sidewalk or bike trail do not have a boulevard as defined here, but do
contain public right-of-way)
collector street – a locally significant street that provides connectivity between
arterial streets or other important activity centers such as commercial areas, schools,
parks or neighborhoods
local street – a low-volume street (neither arterial nor collector) that connects City
blocks and individual land parcels, with its main function being access rather than
mobility
businesses – all properties included in the Commercial or Industrial zoning
classification
homeowners’ associations – single or multi-family housing developments governed
by an association
Right-of-way and boulevard maintenance includes the following components:
1. Boulevards and rights-of-way area shall be mowed when grass/vegetation exceeds twelve
(12) inches.
2. Boulevards and rights-of-way area shall remain cleared of debris and noxious weeds.
3. Proper drainage shall be maintained on sidewalks and trails to avoid areas of water
ponding. Turf that is preventing proper drainage along a trail or sidewalk must be re-
graded to ensure proper drainage.
4. Boulevard and right-of-way trees and brush shall remain pruned so that no part is within
fifteen (15) feet of the ground, no part is within five (5) of the edge of a trail, and no part is
restricting the view or safe passage of any pedestrian or vehicle traffic, or obstructing the
view of street signs, streetlights, or intersection sight-distance.
POLICY
Under most circumstances, the maintenance designations enumerated below shall apply.
Certain exceptions exist for the sake of efficiency and continuity. The Boulevard Mowing Map
on the City website designates the boulevard and right-of-way areas that will be mowed by the
City. The map supersedes the designations below in the case of any exception.
Residential property that is not part of an association, abutting a local street
• Property owners shall be responsible for components 1, 2 and 3.
• The City shall be responsible for component number 4.
• Removal of a damaged or dead tree located in a boulevard or right-of-way shall be
performed by the City, at the City’s discretion.
Residential property that is not part of an association, abutting a collector street
• Property owners shall be responsible for components 1, 2 and 3 for front boulevards and
rights-of-way area.
• The City shall be responsible for components 1, 2 and 3 for side and rear boulevards and
rights-of-way area.
• The City shall be responsible for component number 4.
• Removal and replacement of a damaged or dead tree located in a boulevard or right-of-
way shall be performed by the City, at the City’s discretion.
Other Properties
• Businesses, churches, schools and homeowners’ associations are responsible for
components 1 - 4.
• Removal and replacement of a damaged or dead tree located in a boulevard or right-of-
way is the sole responsibility of the business, church, school or homeowners’ association.
Replacement trees must be planted at least 20-feet behind the back of the curb.
IRRIGATION FACILITIES
• Irrigation systems constructed in the right-of-way will be held subject to the terms and
conditions of the City of Prior Lake Code Section 707: Right-of-Way Management.
• Private irrigation systems may be built in the right-of-way in conjunction with a public
improvement project. Once the public improvement project has received the base course
of bituminous, no street crossings, borings or open trench excavations will be allowed.
• Location, maintenance and repair of all private irrigation facilities is the sole responsibility
of the property owner or homeowners’ association.
• Private irrigation systems within right-of-way and public roadway crossings shall be
registered with Gopher State One Call.
• The City will have no responsibility for maintenance, operation or replacement of private
irrigation systems.
OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS
• The City will remove any portion of a tree located on private property that falls into the
public right-of-way due to a storm or other such natural occurrence, up to the point at
which it is no longer blocking pedestrian or vehicle traffic. Removal of the remaining
portion and its subsequent replacement is the sole responsibility of the property owner.
Replacement trees must be planted at least 20-feet behind the back of the curb.
• The City prohibits property owners from planting new trees in the boulevard or public
right-of-way. Developers and builders that are required to plant front yard trees shall
ensure the trees are planted at least twenty (20) feet behind the back of the curb. If
special consent is granted by City officials to plant a tree in the public right-of-way, the
property owner or homeowners’ association shall be solely responsible for the
maintenance of such trees.
• All boulevards and rights-of-way area established through future development shall be
maintained as defined in this Policy.
PROCEDURES
The Public Works and Community Development Departments will work together throughout
the development approval process to ensure that developers are informed and educated about
their right-of-way and boulevard maintenance responsibilities.
When the City becomes aware of a situation where the Policy is not being followed, Staff will
inform the property owners about the Policy and provide enough information to encourage
future compliance.

APPENDIX E
Retaining Wall Policy
S:\POLICIES\Retaining Wall Policy\2021 Retaining Wall Policy.docx
RETAINING WALL POLICY
Adopted July 2021
INTRODUCTION
Establishing a policy for maintenance, repair and replacement of City-owned retaining walls is both
reasonable and desirable considering the monetary investment and potential risk involved with the
disrepair of these assets.
POLICY
A comprehensive inventory of retaining walls must be performed to establish the ownership, location,
size, and condition of all walls. This inventory will be maintained and updated in GIS/Cartegraph.
Privately-owned retaining walls are subject to the rules and regulations of all City Codes pertaining to
the installation and maintenance of such structures.
City-owned retaining walls shall be inspected every three years on a rotating basis and documented in
Cartegraph. Walls shall be scheduled for immediate repair when there is obvious indication of a
weakness or failure that presents a safety issue. Walls shall be scheduled for future repair when the
following conditions exist but do not pose a safety issue:
• cracking or settlement exceeds 2 inches
• portions of the wall are missing or broken
• portions of the wall are significantly deteriorated
Within 24 hours of notification that a hazardous condition may exist, a qualified staff member will
inspect and assess the situation, scheduling repairs as indicated above.
The City reserves the right to remove retaining walls on City-owned property if proper stabilization of
the surrounding landscape can be achieved without the wall.
PROCEDURES
Precautions will be taken to ensure public safety prior to the repairs being carried out, which may
involve the placement of barricades, warning signs and/or temporary fills.
City staff will periodically inspect the site, ensuring the safety measures remain in place until the repairs
are completed, and monitoring for other potential hazards.
When cost effective or necessary to do so, repairs may be completed on portions of retaining walls
which do not meet the requirements of this policy.
All public or private property that is disrupted during the repair process shall be restored to its original
condition with dirt and grass seed, as best as is practicable, when the project is complete. Private
property owners are responsible for watering new seed/sod once the project is complete.

APPENDIX F
Storm Damage Response Policy
S:\POLICIES\Storm Damage Response Policy\2021 Storm Damage Response Policy.docx
STORM DAMAGE RESPONSE POLICY
Approved October 2016
Updated July 2021
SUMMARY/PURPOSE
The City of Prior Lake occasionally experiences severe weather events that can include heavy rains,
strong winds, lightning, hail, and tornadoes. The purpose of this Policy is to define how the City will
respond when such an event occurs and causes damage to public and private property in the
community.
POLICY
Damage can occur during severe weather events, including the disposition of litter, loss of small
branches, and large tree and structure damage. Any damage that occurs on public property that is
owned and maintained by the City is the responsibility of the City.
When a severe weather event occurs, City staff will focus on the following priorities:
1. Ensure water and sewer facilities are operating, utilizing temporary power when necessary
2. Ensure public streets are passable for emergency purposes
3. Ensure public buildings and associated infrastructure is accessible and operating
4. Clear debris from streets and active use areas in the parks
5. Address any other debris removal from public property
PUBLIC ASSISTANCE FOR PRIVATE PROPERTY DAMAGE
Generally, any damage that occurs on private property is the responsibility of the private property
owner. However, there may be instances when City officials determine that it is in the community’s best
interest to assist in clean-up efforts. This determination will be made by on a case-by-case basis and will
be based on the following factors:
1. Risk to public safety (if private clean-up efforts are leading to traffic congestion or other
obstructions in the right-of-way)
2. Extent of damage both in severity and in geographic spread (the damage is severe causing
widespread loss of trees or large limbs)
3. Availability of City resources to assist
When the City decides to assist in private property clean-up efforts, it will only include removal of tree
and brush material. The City will not pick up any non-organic material such as siding, shingles, carpet,
and other household items. The City will not enter private property to move materials. Property
owners must follow these steps to prepare the material for pick-up:
1. Cut all logs and brush into segments measuring 8 feet or shorter
2. Material must be stacked neatly with the stump side to the street
3. Material must be behind the curb (not in the street)
4. Material must be within 10 feet of the back of the curb (crews will not go further into private
property to access the material)
S:\POLICIES\Storm Damage Response Policy\2021 Storm Damage Response Policy.docx
Failure to follow this protocol will result in pick-up cancellation. Residents should call Public Works at
952-447-9896 to schedule a pick-up. Scheduling of pick-ups will occur based on the volume of calls,
location of pick-up, and other workload constraints.
OTHER RESOURCES
Residents have the following options available for disposal of storm damage material:
1. The SMSC Organics Recycling Facility is located at 1905 Mystic Lake Drive South in Shakopee.
Call 952-233-9191 or visit their website at www.smscorf.com for hours of operation and more
information about what is accepted.
2. Contact your garbage hauler to see if they will accept the yard waste.
3. Contact a tree removal vendor.
POLICY IMPLEMENTATION
This policy will be implemented after severe weather events in the following manner:
1. Public Works staff will survey the damage and report the severity and locations of visible
damage to City officials.
2. City officials will decide whether public assistance will be provided, based on the parameters
outlined above.
3. When a decision has been made to provide public assistance, information will be posted on the
City website and applicable social media outlets. This communication will include instructions
on how to request public assistance.
4. All calls received by residents will be documented, whether City assistance is provided or not.

APPENDIX G
Frozen Water Service Policy
1
Frozen Water Service Policy
City of Prior Lake
VII. FROZEN WATER SERVICE POLICY
Adopted November 2016
Last Revised January 2018
Revised July 2021
SUMMARY/PURPOSE
Typically, water service connections are buried below the average frost table depth to ensure
they do not freeze. If the water service is above the average frost table, or we experience an
extended period of severe cold that drives the frost table deeper, some service lines become
susceptible to freezing. When this happens, the City receives requests for assistance in thawing
service lines. The City has created this policy to define how the city will respond to these
requests.
POLICY
The service line is the responsibility of the property owner from the meter (inside the home) all
the way out to the curb stop (typically located near the front property line). The curb stop and
the remaining pipe to the watermain are the responsibility of the City. If the service line
freezes, it is sometimes difficult to determine where the issue has occurred and who is
responsible.
The City has historically worked with property owners to address frozen service lines. This
policy was developed to standardize the practice of thawing service lines to the best of our
ability, while keeping in mind our limited resources and reducing our liability when entering
into private properties.
The following parameters are hereby established:
a. The water service lateral from the curb stop to the meter is the responsibility of the
property owner.
b. The City will assist property owners by offering, at no charge, to thaw the service if it can
be accomplished without digging and if it is the first occurrence of the season for the
property. A fee will be charged for subsequent thawing services within a single season
(November-March). The current fee for this service can be found on the City’s fee
schedule.
c. The City will attempt to thaw the service for up to four (4) hours. If unsuccessful, staff will
evaluate the availability of resources to continue or suspend the attempt.
d. The property owner must sign a Right of Entry and Release of Liability before any work is
completed.
e. The City will not assist with any frozen water pipes on the house side of the meter.
2
Frozen Water Service Policy
City of Prior Lake
f. The City has the right to refuse to enter a residence due to health and/or safety concerns.
g. The City of Prior Lake does not guarantee a frozen water service can be thawed with City
resources.
h. The City reserves the right to deviate from this policy at any time if deemed to be in the
best interests of the City and its residents based on safety, political and economic
considerations. Any deviation and the reason for the deviation shall be documented in
writing.
PROCEDURES
1. Property owners who believe their service line may be frozen should call Public Works at
952-447-9896 for assistance during normal working hours (M-F, 7 am - 3 pm). For
assistance outside normal working hours, property owners should call non-emergency
dispatch at 952-445-1411.
2. The property owner must request the service, sign the Right of Entry and Release of
Liability forms, and be present during the service call.
3. The City will respond to calls during normal working hours in the order they are
received, as resources allow.
4. Calls received outside of normal working hours will be responded to by on-call
personnel who will assess the situation, determine the appropriate actions, and assist as
resources allow.
5. Property owners shall not be allowed to use electrical welding methods to thaw
services.

APPENDIX H
Flood Response Policy
City of Prior Lake
Flood Response Policy
1
FLOOD RESPONSE POLICY
Adopted June 26, 2017
Updated July 2021
SUMMARY/PURPOSE
The purpose of this Policy is to define and outline the City’s response to high lake levels and lake
flooding on Spring Lake, Prior Lake, and Markley Lake. Lake levels have historically been one of the most
important issues for the community, impacting residents living around the lakes, many businesses, and
local transportation corridors. Spring Lake rises and falls quickly based on its large drainage area and
natural outlet channel. Prior Lake does not have a natural outlet and lake levels have fluctuated by 15
feet or more, from extreme low water levels in the 1930s and late 1980s to the flooding of the 1960s
and high-water records in 2014. Markley Lake is landlocked and has experienced periodic flooding
during periods of wet weather.
After significant study, public process, and agency coordination the establishment of the Prior Lake
Outlet and Channel (PLOC) was selected as the first flood mitigation effort by the newly-formed Prior
Lake-Spring Lake Watershed District (PLSLWD) and the outlet system to the Minnesota River was first
used in 1983. The regulatory flood zone for Prior Lake did not originally account for the benefit of the
outlet structure and the 100-year flood elevation remained at 908.9 until it was revised to 906.9 in 2018.
The Prior Lake outlet structure, owned and operated by the PLSLWD, constitutes the beginning of the
PLOC and includes a fixed weir set at an elevation of 902.5 and a low-flow slide gate to allow manual
discharge of water down to a lake level elevation of 902.0.
The Prior Lake area experienced record amounts of precipitation in 2014, leading to a historic flooding
event. This event highlighted the need to develop watershed modeling and evaluate flood mitigation
and response strategies for future events. The PLSLWD and the City of Prior Lake, in collaboration with
Spring Lake Township, completed the Prior Lake Stormwater Management and Flood Mitigation Study
(2016) that includes a calibrated modeling of the Prior Lake watershed, review of flood-related issues
and projects, identification and evaluation of a suite of potential flood reduction strategies, and
implementation plan recommendations. Public input was used to guide the development and evaluation
of the available flood mitigation options described in the flood study. Development of a City Flood
Response Policy addresses one of the major study implementation plan recommendations.
Markley Lake is located within the Scott Watershed Management Organization (WMO). The Cities of
Prior Lake and Credit River both have land use authority for areas draining to Markley Lake. High water
levels in the 1990s led the cities (Credit River was a township in 1999) and WMO to develop a temporary
drawdown plan for the lake in 1999 that included pumping water from the lake to the Credit River using
an abandoned sanitary sewer line. Above-average precipitation through the 2010s led to more high-
water levels on Markley Lake, leading to record-high water levels in 2019. Flooding on Markley Lake has
the potential to impact Whitewood Avenue, septic systems, and homes in Credit River, as well as a City
of Prior Lake trail and yards/landscaping within the City of Prior Lake. To address high water levels, the
cities and WMO partnered to temporarily draw down Markley Lake in 2019 and 2020 under 1-year cost-
share agreements. All three organizations entered into a 5-year cost-share agreement in 2021 to
address future temporary draw down needs while also working jointly on a Markley Lake Study that will
guide long-term flood response.
City of Prior Lake
Flood Response Policy
2
This policy supersedes any and all previously written or unwritten policies of the City regarding lake
flood response. The City will review this policy periodically and will amend it as appropriate.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR FLOOD PROTECTION
During flooding conditions, both the City and its residents have responsibility for different aspects of
flood protection. The priority for Prior Lake City government, as evidenced by the City’s Mission
Statement, is to enhance the quality of life for citizens by providing quality services which result in a safe
and healthy community.
City of Prior Lake: The City’s primary responsibility during a flooding event is to protect public safety.
City goals and priorities during flooding conditions include:
1. Protect public safety – maintain emergency vehicle access
2. Protect public health and safety – protect public utility infrastructure (i.e., sanitary sewer and
water distribution)
3. Maintain traffic flow through the County Road 21 corridor
4. Maintain access to private property through public rights-of-way
The City will coordinate with other agencies and provide updated information to residents in
anticipation of flooding events. This communication will continue during flooding events.
Property owners: Property owners are responsible for protecting their own private property during
flooding events. Property owners may take advantage of City flood protection efforts to enhance private
property protection efforts; an example of this would be connecting private sandbag walls to road right-
of-way barriers.
City of Prior Lake
Flood Response Policy

PRIOR LAKE WATER LEVEL-BASED FLOOD RESPONSE
City flood response is based on factors such as Prior Lake levels, weather forecasting, watershed
conditions, and existing and projected system flow. The City’s Public Works Director will consider these
factors when directing implementation of the City’s response. Lake levels and ice-covered status are
determined by the PLSLWD. The following approximate lake level responses apply to Prior Lake:
Lake Level 903.0. Levels below this point are typically not a cause for concern in relation to potential
flooding events.
When Prior Lake reaches 903.0, the City may initiate the following actions:
Category Action
Shoreline Erosion Prepare to deploy “Save Our Shores” signs at DNR public access
points. Not applicable when the lake is ice-covered.
Equipment Find a source of pumps and storm sewer plugs, various sizes &
configurations; take inventory of sanitary manhole sealing devices;

CITY FLOOD OPERATIONS PLAN
Emergency Declaration: The Mayor of the City of Prior Lake has the authority to issue a Declaration of
Local Emergency based on Minn. Stat. Sections 12.29 and 12.37 and Prior Lake City Code section
201.700.
Significant rainfall or snowmelt causing rapid increases in water levels, dangerous flooding conditions, or
imminent danger to persons and property shall constitute a Local Emergency with respect to this policy.
The City Emergency Management Director will advise the City Manager and Mayor/City Council of
conditions that may lead to a Local Emergency.
Emergency Management Structure: A Declaration of Local Emergency activates the City’s Emergency
Management operations. The City developed its Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) in 2008 and the
document is periodically reviewed and updated (last updated 2/27/2017). The EOP guides emergency
operations for the City. It assists key City officials and emergency organizations to carry out their
responsibilities for the protection of the public under a wide range of emergency conditions, including
flooding. The EOP is also used to:
• Mitigate the loss of life and property
• Prepare for emergencies
• Respond to emergencies
• Recover from the emergency
• Provide support to other political subdivisions in the County that may require assistance
The Basic Plan section of the EOP outlines the basis and purpose of emergency planning. The EOP also
contains several Annexes that describe the basic functions of emergency response and includes specific
responsibilities delegated to the Public Works Department related to utilities and debris clearance.
Direction and control of the City response to an emergency will be carried out at the Emergency
Operation Center (EOC). The City EOC is located at the Prior Lake Police Department office, 4649 Dakota
Street, Prior Lake. Per the National Incident Management System (NIMS), Prior Lake uses the Incident
Command System (ICS) to manage and coordinate incident response. Upon activation of the EOC, City
departments will respond to the emergency as coordinated by the City’s designated Emergency
Management Director.
To increase local agency coordination during emergencies, the City adopted the Scott County All-Hazard,
Multijurisdictional Mitigation Plan on November 14, 2016. The plan includes risk assessment, mitigation
strategy, and an implementation process. Participating jurisdictions are eligible for FEMA hazard
mitigation assistance grants.
Protecting Public Safety: The primary focus of the City will be to employ measures that provide
emergency vehicle access to flooded areas to the maximum extent practicable. Emergency vehicles can
travel through a water depth of approximately 1.5 feet or less. The Lake Level-Based Flood Response
section of this policy outlines the measures to be taken to protect flood-prone areas and thereby public

safety. There are seven Flood Watch Areas (FWAs) affected by Prior Lake flooding (first inundated at
approximate lake level in parentheses):
1. Boudin/Watersedge/Rutgers/Glendale FWA (904.0)
2. County Road 21/Wagon Bridge FWA (904.5)
3. Shady Beach Trail FWA (905.0)
4. Breezy Point Road FWA (905.5)
5. Cove Avenue FWA (905.5)
6. Lords Street FWA (906.5)
7. Fish Point Road FWA (907.0)
Barriers will be placed only after considering current lake level conditions, lake level trends, and
forecasted weather conditions. Barriers can be effectively placed in up to 6 inches of water. Additional
watch areas that may require infrastructure protection but not barriers include Northwood Road and
West Avenue. The City will post temporary speed limit signs and signs to designate flooded areas as
closed/local traffic for those areas under City jurisdiction. The City will defer to Scott County for traffic
control and other measures within the County Road 21 corridor. Signs will be posted in conjunction with
the work done at each lake level-based flood response area.
Protecting Public Property: Public property to be protected includes roads and associated right-of-way,
sanitary sewer infrastructure, water distribution infrastructure, stormwater infrastructure, parks
facilities, and other City-owned or City-controlled features.
Appendix A contains maps showing the approximate locations of temporary flood protection barriers,
road closed barriers, trash collection points, and public-use sand piles for all Flood Watch Areas.
Some private driveway accesses will be blocked due to flood protection barrier placement; residents will
be notified of this installation in advance and may construct private sandbag walls to tie into the City’s
barriers. No parking will be allowed in any area protected by temporary barriers to ensure adequate
emergency vehicle access.
County Road 21 Transportation Corridor: The County Road 21 transportation corridor between State
Highway 13 and County Road 42 is critical to the community. Flooding has the potential to cause the
temporary closure of this critical corridor, as was seen during the record flooding of 2014. Scott County
has jurisdiction for County Road 21; any policy for the corridor must be coordinated with Scott County.
The Wagon Bridge on County Road 21 separates Lower Prior Lake and Upper Prior lake. The area north
of the bridge is low in elevation and floodwaters on the roadway can result in Scott County closing the
roadway to all traffic. Floodwaters can enter the roadway through the storm sewer system because the
road surface is lower than the surrounding land; in 2014, the road started to flood when water came up
through catch basins that could not be retrofitted with anti-backflow devices. The following actions are
recommended:
• Install anti-backflow devices (such as sewer balls) for all connected storm sewer pipes when
Prior Lake reaches an elevation of 904.5 or higher
City of Prior Lake
Flood Response Policy
17
• Ensure that pumps are on hand to remove any water from the roadway during rainfall events,
while anti-backflow devices are deployed
• Remove anti-backflow devices after the lake falls below an elevation of 904.5
The City will coordinate with Scott County to ensure that water from the lake will not back up through
the storm sewer system and onto the roadway north of the Wagon Bridge. If temporary anti-backflow
devices are installed for all connected storm sewer pipes, roadway drainage would no longer occur and
pumping would be required after all rainfall events. The City will work with Scott County to ensure that a
plan is in place to manage any system to allow access through the corridor. Scott County is the ultimate
authority for any plan initiated to keep the County Road 21 corridor open to traffic during flooding
events.
Supporting Residential Sandbagging Efforts: Sandbags will be offered to Prior Lake residents in
accordance with the lake level-based flood response listed in this Policy. Sandbag wall construction and
other property protection guidance will be made available to residents on the City’s website. Residential
sandbag walls may be constructed to tie into City walls and barriers. The City is not responsible for the
construction or maintenance of private sandbag walls.
Supporting Essential Services: The City Emergency Management Director is the primary contact for
coordinating the support of essential community services:
• Mail and other deliveries: The City Emergency Management Director will coordinate with
entities such as the US Post Office to ensure that essential deliveries can reach residents and
businesses. The City Emergency Management Director may designate temporary mail pickup
locations.

essential service requests not listed in this section.
POST-FLOOD OPERATIONS
Flood protection measures will be removed in reverse order of installation. Flood cleanup operations
will follow City EOP procedures. Communications will continue according to the Lake Level-Based Flood
Response tables of this Policy. The following items are key:

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
All financial expenditures related to emergency flooding events must be tracked. FEMA programs may
reimburse the City for these expenditures with supporting documentation. If the City implements flood
response items and FEMA reimbursement does not become available, all funding for flood response will
be the responsibility of the City.
Tracking City expenditures: The City Public Works Coordinator will enable tracking for time and
expenses, including labor, machinery, and materials. All employees who use timesheets must track time
spent on flooding-related work. Employees must also fill out FEMA forms corresponding to the same
work; this ensures that all expenses will be tracked and submitted for reimbursement in a timely
manner after the flooding.

FOREWORD
The primary purpose of this plan is to provide a guide for emergency operations. It is intended to assist
key city officials and emergency organizations to carry out their responsibilities for the protection of life
and property under a wide range of emergency conditions.
Although an organization may have the foresight to plan for anticipated situations, such planning is of
little worth if it is not reduced to written form. Personnel familiar with unwritten "plans" may be
unavailable at the very time it becomes necessary to implement them. A written plan will furnish a
documentary record which can be referred to as needed. This documentary record will serve to refresh
the knowledge of key individuals and can be used to inform persons who become replacements.
THIS DOCUMENT SHALL REMAIN THE PROPERTY OF THE CITY OF
PRIOR LAKE, DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
Upon termination of office by reason of resignation, election, suspension, or dismissal, the holder of this
document shall transfer it to his/her successor or to the City of Prior Lake Emergency Management
Director.

I. Reason for Plan
Tornadoes, floods, blizzards, and other natural disasters can affect the City of Prior Lake. In
addition, major disasters such as, transportation accidents, explosions, fires, hazardous materials
releases, pipeline leaks, disease outbreaks, terrorist attacks, and national security emergencies
pose a potential threat to public health and safety. Environmental emergencies related to
hazardous materials may also present risks to the community through exposures in the air,
surface or ground water, or soil. An emergency plan is needed to ensure the protection of the
public from the effects of these hazards.
II. Purpose of Plan
The City of Prior Lake has many capabilities and resources, which could be used in the response
to any major disaster. These include the facilities, equipment, personnel, and skills of both
government and non-government professions and groups. The purpose of this plan is to ensure
the effective, coordinated use of these resources so as to:
1. Maximize the protection of life and property,
2. Prepare for and respond to emergencies and recover to a state of normalcy,
3. Ensure the continuity of government,
4. Provide support to all areas in the city that require assistance.
III. Legal Basis and References
The legal basis for planning for and conducting all-hazard emergency operations at the Federal
level and state of Minnesota level are listed in the Emergency Management Director’s
Handbook, Section B. located at the Emergency Management Department, or Record Storage.
The legal basis also includes the following:
▪ Minnesota State Statute Chapter 12
▪ City of Prior Lake Code Ordinance No. 201
▪ Mutual Aid agreements
▪ Scott County Emergency Operations Plan.
IV. Organization
Existing government is the basis for emergency operations. That is, government agencies will
perform emergency activities related to those they perform on a day-to-day basis. City
organization and interrelationships that coordinate plan development and maintenance are shown
on Chart A of this basic plan.

VI. Training/Response by Emergency Management Responders
Emergency responders and city employees who respond to hazardous materials incidents within
the City of Prior Lake have received training designed to help them respond to such incidents.
Prior Lake Police Department is trained to, and responds at the First Responder Awareness
Level, as defined in29 CFR 1910.120. Training records are maintained in police training files at
the Prior Lake Police Department.
Allina Ambulance Co. is the primary EMS transport in the City of Prior Lake. These personnel
and the designated mutual aid ambulance services are trained to and respond at the First
Responder Awareness Level, as defined in 29 CFR 1910.120 at a minimum.
Prior Lake Fire Department is trained to, equipped and responds at HazMat Operations Level as
part of a Scott County wide team defined in 29 CFR 1910.120 9 (except new firefighters).
Training records are maintained Scott County Emergency Manager.
Training records are maintained per appropriate departments.
VII. Direction and Control
The direction and control of government operations from a central, protected facility with
adequate communications and key personnel is essential to the conduct of emergency operations.
This has been provided for as follows:
The Police Lieutenant / Emergency Management Director shall be responsible for determining
when it is necessary to implement the Emergency Operations Plan and then make a
recommendation to the Mayor for enactment of the plan. Where the remainder of this document
references the “Emergency Management Director” it should be noted that this term also includes
their designee.
The City Manager will be responsible for providing overall direction and control of city govern-
ment resources involved in the response to a disaster in consultation with the Mayor and City
Council. The City Emergency Management Director will serve in a staff capacity to the City
Manager, will implement this plan, and will coordinate emergency operations.
Direction and control of the City of Prior Lake response to a major disaster will be carried out at
the Emergency Operating Center (EOC) unless another location is better suited for the disaster.
The City EOC is located at 4649 Dakota Street (Prior Lake Police Department).
(For additional direction and control information such as staffing, communications, incident
command system [ICS], etc.; refer to the Direction and Control Annex, and SOP, to this plan.)

VIII. Emergency Responsibility Assignments
A. A summary of the City of Prior Lake emergency responsibility assignments, by function, is
shown on chart B. Heads of the various city government departments and agencies will
be responsible for carrying out the assignments shown on this chart. Additional information
about these emergency responsibility assignments is contained in the annexes to this basic
plan. (One annex exists for each of the responsibilities [functions] that are shown on Chart
B.) Lastly, city departments and agencies are expected to develop whatever SOPs they may
need in order to carry out these responsibilities.
B. Responsibilities have been assigned by a code letter: "P," "S," or "C."
1. "P" indicates primary operational responsibility, which means that the official or
agency is in charge of, and responsible to make provision for, that function.
2. "S" indicates support responsibility, which means that the agency so assigned
will, if possible, assist the official or agency that has primary or coordination
responsibility for that function.
3. "C" indicates coordination responsibility, and is assigned when several agencies
have a partial responsibility, but no one official/agency has obvious primary
responsibility. This will oftentimes be the situation when non-government
agencies are involved.
4. As a general rule, county officials will be primarily responsible for carrying out
emergency functions outside city limits, and municipal officials will have the
corresponding responsibility within city limits.
5. Only one "P" or "C" can be assigned per function, and a minimum of one "S"
should be assigned for each function.

IX. Operation Policies
A. In the event of a major disaster, the Mayor may declare a local emergency. Such a
declaration will invoke necessary portions of this plan, and will permit the city to take
such actions as may be required to protect lives and property. In addition, any or all parts
of the plan may be implemented whenever it is deemed necessary in order to provide for
the Emergency Management.
B. Protection of life and property and alleviation of human distress is the primary goal of
city government emergency operations.
C. In an emergency affecting more than one political jurisdiction, officials of all jurisdic-
tions involved will coordinate their services to the maximum extent possible.
D. The Emergency Management Director will assist in providing resource coordination
between government agencies and the private sector.
E. Local government resources must be utilized to the maximum before state or federal
assistance will be made available.
G. Each agency, department, or service of city government will provide for the maintenance
of records during an emergency. These records should include work hours, equipment
hours, supplies and materials consumed, injuries to personnel, and damage to public
facilities and equipment.
H. All emergency response organizations in the city are required to prepare and maintain
SOP’s, resource lists and checklists to support their operations. Depending on the
emergency, different departments/organizations will be required to be involved, but at
minimum they will include police, fire, EMS, Public Works, Administration/Mayor,
Finance, and MIS.
X. State and Federal Support
A. General
The City of Prior Lake Emergency Management Director will be responsible for assisting
the city in obtaining any county, state or federal government resources that may be
needed as a result of a disaster. In carrying out this responsibility, the director will
contact the County Emergency Management Director. The county director can
provide/obtain technical information and assistance, if requested. Lastly, a summary of
state and federal disaster assistance that may be available is contained in Disaster
Response and Recovery: A Handbook for Local Government. This document is on file

support civil law enforcement authorities.
1. Operational Policies
a. National Guard assistance will complement, and not be a substitute for
county and/or city participation in emergency operations.
b. If made available, National Guard personnel will remain under military
command at all times, but will support and assist city and/or city forces in
the accomplishment of a specific task or tasks.
2. Request Procedure

Beach E. Coli Testing Policy
S:\POLICIES\Beach E. Coli Testing Policy\2021 Beach E. Coli Testing Policy.docx
BEACH E. COLI TESTING POLICY
Last Revised May 2016
Revised July 2021
SUMMARY/PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to clearly define the E. coli sampling and testing protocols
and the City response to test results.
PROCEDURE
E. coli sampling at Sand Point Beach and Watzl’s Beach will occur weekly from Memorial
Day through Labor Day. Designated staff will sample the water using these established
sampling protocols:
• Two samples will be taken at each site – one from the center of the swimming
area, and another from 100 feet to either side of the first
• Samples shall be taken approximately six inches below the surface of the water
where the water has a depth of at least 2.5 feet
• If samples show elevated E. coli levels, more frequent sampling may be needed
• At each beach, the two collected samples will be averaged and the result will be
reported as the value for that date and site
• Samples will be sent to the City’s testing lab on the same day they are collected
to ensure sample holding times are not exceeded
• The City’s testing lab will provide sample bottles, labels, and chain of custody
forms
If the level of E. coli exceeds the standards set by the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (MPCA), the beach will be closed temporarily until further testing shows safe
levels. Beach closings will be publicized on the City website and social media outlets, as
well as with on-site signage.
Minnesota Rule 7050.0222 Specific Water Quality Standards for Class 2 Waters of the
State; Aquatic Life and Recreation: E. coli levels not to exceed 126 organisms per 100
milliliters as a geometric mean of not less than five samples representative of conditions
within any calendar month, nor shall more than ten percent of all samples taken during
any calendar month individually exceed 1,260 organisms per 100 milliliters. The
standard applies only between April 1 and October 31.

Prior Lake Lakefront Park Master Plan Proposal 1
Creating Places that Enrich People’s Lives

Public Works Director/City Engineer
City of Prior Lake
17073 Adelmann Street SE
Prior Lake, MN 55372
RE: Lakefront Park‐Watzl’s Beach Master Plan ‐ Design Services Proposal
Dear Andy,
HKGi is pleased to submit the following design services proposal to lead a master planning
process to develop creative and functional recommendations for the future of Lakefront Park
and Watzl’s Beach. Our proposed process combines the expertise of our Landscape Architects
and park designers with the energy of the stakeholders to develop concepts and ideas to make
these two great parks perform even better. We have incorporated meaningful public and
stakeholder input opportunities for residents and existing park users to help us evaluate ideas
and determine what makes the most sense for park improvements, build upon the inherent
strengths of each park to create a final Master Plan with a strong foundation of community
support.
Lakefront Park is a tremendous resource for Prior Lake serving as the key community park in the
system by connecting downtown, residents, and visitors to a wonderful spectrum of recreation
options and activities. The park is at the point where reinvestment is being considered and new
uses are being contemplated. This planning process will assess the strengths, opportunities and
limitations of the existing park, explore a broad range of potential new ideas for consideration,
vet those ideas through community input, and finally develop a strategic and implementable
approach to building the ideas in the new Master Plan. The plan will also identify potential
funding sources available and will help in successfully leveraging future grant programs.
We propose to accomplish the process with the following work plan:
Prior Lake Lakefront Park Master Plan Proposal 2
Work Plan
1. Organize the effort and analyze the parks (August/September)
o Kick off meeting with city staff
Review project scope and schedule
Review and discuss recommendations in Park System Plan and other
Issues/Opportunities
Discuss public engagement plan
Tour park
o Review relevant adjacent park plans (Watzl’s Beach) and other background
documents
o Develop Public Engagement Plan with input from city staff. The following
elements have been assumed for budgeting purposes. We will work with the
city to determine the appropriate types and desired number of engagement
events and methods as we finalize the Public Engagement Plan:
An Advisory committee made up of 10‐12 members will meet three (3)
times during the master planning process to review materials, offer
input, and listen to other stakeholders. Members of the Advisory
Committee could include representatives from the following groups:
Rotary, Lakefront Park event planners, athletic groups, stakeholders,
local residents, representative from Citizen Engagement Committee, city
staff, etc.
Engagement promotion and branding, such as press release,
development of graphic postcard and/or flyer, and website content
creation
(2) phases of online surveys/interactive mapping applications to
include writing questions, hosting and monitoring, and summarizing
input
(3) Stakeholder meetings to be determined. Each stakeholder meeting
would include consultant attendance and facilitation, agenda, and
summary of input. Potential stakeholder groups include: PLAY, skate
group, soccer group, and hockey group. It is also possible that the
stakeholder groups are invited to participate in the Advisory Committee
(see above).
As a potential optional service we propose to coordinate and attend (3)
Pop up meetings include setting up a table or booth with 2‐3
informational project boards and maps and a way to provide input on
the boards, through conversations, links to digital and/or a paper
survey. One consultant will attend each pop up meeting. If desired, HKGi

breach of the terms of this Agreement with the proceeds from the Security, but may, at the City’s sole

otherwise in compliance with all terms of the Agreement, approve a reduction in the amount of the
Security based upon work completed. The City shall at all times throughout construction and the Warranty

Attachment C
Avoidance and Minimization
and Additional Information
Project Purpose, Need, and Requirements. Clearly state the purpose of your project and need for your project. Also include a
description of any specific requirements of the project as they relate to project location, project footprint, water management,
and any other applicable requirements. Attach an overhead plan sheet showing all relevant features of the project (buildings,
roads, etc.), aquatic resource features (impact areas noted) and construction details (grading plans, storm water management
plans, etc.), referencing these as necessary:
CNC Development is proposing a new single‐family residential development called Parkwood Estates in the City of
Prior Lake. This proposed development will be located northwest of Mushtown Road in the southern part of the City
(Figure 1). The Parkwood Estates development will include 55 single‐family lots with associated roads, site amenities,
and storm water facilities as well as preserved higher‐quality deciduous woodlands and wetlands.
The site itself covers approximately forty‐six acres of land that consists of a single residence with outbuildings,
deciduous woodlands, areas of mixed native and non‐native grassland, agricultural land currently in hay production,
and ten wetland areas (Figure 2). Access for the site is planned via the extension of Fish Point Road from the north
of the property to the southwest where it will connect to Mushtown Road. The project‘s construction will consist of
site grading for infrastructure including: roads, utilities, three storm water facilities, and building pads. Construction
is expected to begin in 2021 and will continue until fully built. Project plans that include the preliminary plat exhibits
for the proposed Parkwood Estates development are included in Appendix A.
The need for this project is based on the expanding residential housing market in the City of Prior Lake as well as
availability to public infrastructure. Expected housing market growth in this part of Prior Lake will be met with new
residential development including the proposed Parkwood Estates development. The City of Prior Lake has planned
for expanded growth in this part of the City.
Existing Wetland Resources On‐Site
Wetlands within the proposed Parkwood Estates development (formerly known as the Radanke Property) were
delineated and documented in a report submitted by Midwest Natural Resources, Inc. on August 14th (updated
October 21st),, 2020 (Appendix C). The wetlands were reviewed by the LGU (City of Prior Lake and their wetland
consultant WSB) and approved by the Technical Evaluation Panel in the attached Notice of Decision dated October
26th, 2020 (Appendix D). Ten wetlands were delineated within the Parkwood Estates site and are designated as
Wetlands A‐I. The following is a description of Wetlands C and E, the two wetlands proposed to be permanently
impacted for the project.
Wetland C
Wetland C is a Type 1 (PEMA; Seasonally Flooded Basin) wetland located in the southcentral part of the Parkwood
Estates site and is 0.0808 acre (3520 sq. ft.) in area. Half or more of this wetland had been hayed this year with most
years it being farmed through or around. Plant species documented at the wetland sample point for Wetland C
includes reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), bald spikerush (Eleocharis erythropoda), and American water
plantain (Alisma subcordatum).
One wetland impact is being proposed directly to Wetland C that includes permanently filling the whole wetland
(0.0808 ac./3,520 sq. ft.). This impact will be the result of grading associated with construction of Street C as well as
site grading in this part of the site.
Wetland E
Wetland E is a Type 1 (PEMA; Seasonally Flooded Basin) wetland located just north of Wetland D and is 0.0117 acre
(511 sq. ft.) in area. All of this wetland had been hayed this year and in previous years has been farmed through with
row crops. Plant species documented at the wetland sample point for Wetland E includes lady’s‐thumb (Persicaria
maculosa), bald spikerush (Eleocharis erythropoda), and fox sedge (Carex vulpinoidea).
One wetland impact is being proposed directly to Wetland E that includes permanently filling the whole wetland
(0.0117 ac./511 sq. ft.). This impact will be the result of grading associated with Fish Point Road, the sidewalk
associated with this road, and site grading in this part of the proposed development.
Avoidance. Both the CWA and the WCA require that impacts to aquatic resources be avoided if practicable alternatives exist.
Clearly describe all on‐site measures considered to avoid impacts to aquatic resources and discuss at least two project alternatives
that avoid all impacts to aquatic resources on the site. These alternatives may include alternative site plans, alternate sites, and/or
not doing the project. Alternatives should be feasible and prudent (see MN Rules 8420.0520 Subp. 2 C). Applicants are encouraged
to attach drawings and plans to support their analysis:
In general, a total avoidance alternative would result in the failure to meet the demand for this type of residential
development in this part of the City of Prior Lake by reducing or eliminating the usability and accessibility of the site.
The reduction or elimination of potential residential development of the site is in conflict with the current zoning of
the property. As less land is available within the City to build this type of development, the ability to avoid Wetland
C and E became difficult when faced with extending Fish Point Road through the development to an allowable touch‐
down point that meets road spacing requirements along Mushtown Road.
Wetland C
Total Wetland Avoidance Build Alternative
Due to the location of Wetland C within the Parkwood Estates site, the proposed location and elevations of Street
C, site grading, and overall site topography, a total wetland avoidance alternative was not possible. Street C is
proposed to be constructed in order to provide reasonable access to the homes in this part of the development from
Fish Point Road as well as to provide a future road connection to the property located south of the site for if and
when future development may take place.
To avoid direct impacts to Wetland C, an alternative site design was considered that shifted Street C to the north
and not developing Lots 4 and 5, Block 4. Although this alternative may avoid direct impacts to Wetland C, indirect
impacts would still take place by reducing much of the wetland’s watershed. Grading would be proposed around
three of the four sides of the wetland and stormwater runoff that typically would flow into this wetland would be
redirected to storm water facilities instead. This alternative results in the lots north of Street C to shift further to the
north which would either reduce the volume of the proposed storm water pond to a level that would not meet the
site’s storm water volume requirements or would end up shifting the pond to the west and into Wetland G, a higher
quality wetland than Wetland C.
Wetland E
Total Wetland Avoidance Build Alternative
Due to the location of Wetland E within the Parkwood Estates site, the proposed alignment of Fish Point Road
through the site to Mushtown Road, site grading, and overall site topography, a total wetland avoidance alternative
was not possible. Fish Point Road is a collector street that will be extended from its current location through the site
to where it will connect to Mushtown Road. In order for safe road curvatures to be maintained for this collector
street as well as the predetermined location of the touch down point along Mushtown Road, all of Wetland E will
need to be permanently impacted. Wetland E is being directly impacted by the construction of Fish Point Road, the
sidewalk along the north side of this proposed road, and site grading in this part of the development. The City is
requiring that Fish Point Road be extended through the site to Mushtown Road to provide safe traffic flow within
this part of Prior Lake and the proposed Parkwood Estates development. The proposed location of the touch down
point for the Fish Point Road connection to Mushtown Road is being planned in its current location in order to be in
compliance with the road spacing requirements along Mushtown Road.
To avoid direct impacts to Wetland E, an alternative site design was considered that terminated Fish Point Road with
two cul‐de‐sacs located on both sides of this wetland as well as not developing Lots 4, 5 & 6, Block 2. Although this
alternative may avoid direct impacts to Wetland E, it would not be allowed by the City since Fish Point Road is
required to be extended through the site as a collector street and not constructed with cul‐de‐sacs. In addition to
this, in order for site drainage for Fish Point Road and the surrounding area of Wetland E to work across the site,
approximately four feet of fill needs to be placed where Wetland E is located. The fill is needed in this part of the
site for site grading to direct stormwater runoff to the storm water pond that is going to be located in the central
part of the site along the southern edge of Fish Point Road.
No Action Alternative
The no action alternative would result in a failure to meet the purpose and need of the proposed project. The
applicant considers this alternative infeasible since the proposed land use in this part of Prior Lake is being planned
for residential growth and would not be reasonable for the investment‐backed expectations of the applicant or
meeting the growing demand for single‐family residential housing in Prior Lake. Therefore, the no action alternative
is not a viable consideration.
Minimization. Both the CWA and the WCA require that all unavoidable impacts to aquatic resources be minimized to the greatest
extent practicable. Discuss all features of the proposed project that have been modified to minimize the impacts to water
resources (see MN Rules 8420.0520 Subp. 4):
The Applicant has considered minimizing wetland impacts to the degree possible, given the constraints posed by the
proposed alignment and extension of Fish Point Road through the development to where it will connect to
Mushtown Road as well as existing and proposed site grades. Efforts to minimize impacts to wetland resources on‐
site focused on avoiding impacts to any of the larger wetland areas as well as not developing all of the eastern part
of the site. In Appendix B, a Site Impact Exhibit shows the far eastern part of the property being developed which
would result in a wetland impact to the wetland area between Wetlands G and H. The current proposed site plan no
longer shows developing this part of the site and as a result, will not be impacting that wetland area.
Another effort to minimize wetland impact across the site was the decision to construct a shared driveway for two
lots (Lots 10 & 11, Block 3) in the far eastern part of the proposed development. In order to plat two lots in this part
of the site, a shared driveway is being proposed to avoid wetland impact to Wetland H. If each of these two lots had
their own driveway, the driveway for Lot 10 would result in impacting part of the southern edge of Wetland H.
Additional Information
BMP’s.
Wetland areas not being impacted on‐site will be protected by erosion control fence during the construction phase
of the development. All disturbed areas will be seeded and mulched. Slopes over 3:1 will be seeded and blanketed.

Proposed Wetland Mitigation
Wetland mitigation being proposed for permanently impacting Wetland C and E will involve the purchase of 8,062 sq.
ft. of standard wetland credit from wetland bank #1468 which is located within the same Major Watershed (Minnesota
(Shakopee) – 33) and Bank Service Area (9) as the subject property. This action should satisfy any mitigation
requirements for the wetland being impacted within the proposed Parkwood Estates development.
Project Name: Parkwood Estates, Prior Lake

Replacement/Compensatory Mitigation
Complete this part if your application involves wetland replacement/compensatory mitigation not associated with the local road
wetland replacement program. Applicants should consult Corps mitigation guidelines and WCA rules for requirements.
Replacement/Compensatory Mitigation via Wetland Banking. Complete this section if you are proposing to use credits from an
existing wetland bank (with an account number in the State wetland banking system) for all or part of your
replacement/compensatory mitigation requirements.

Applicants should attach documentation indicating that they have contacted the wetland bank account owner and reached at least
a tentative agreement to utilize the identified credits for the project. This documentation could be a signed purchase agreement,
signed application for withdrawal of credits or some other correspondence indicating an agreement between the applicant and the
bank owner. However, applicants are advised not to enter into a binding agreement to purchase credits until the mitigation plan is
approved by the Corps and LGU.
Currently no wetland banking credits are available within the same minor watershed (Credit River‐33123) as the
proposed Parkwood Estates project area. Several wetland banks are located in the same major watershed
(Minnesota (Shakopee), 33).
Banks #1468, which is located in the same major watershed as the site, will be able to provide the needed standard
wetland credit for this project. The applicant is proposing to purchase the needed wetland banking credits from
wetland bank #1468 in order to satisfy the mitigation requirements associated with this proposed residential
development project.
Contact has been made with the manager of wetland bank #1468 in May of 2021 to discuss credit availability for the
purchase of needed standard wetland credit for the project. Based on the amount of wetland banking credit required
for the mitigation associated with this project, wetland bank #1468 will be able to provide the total amount of
standard wetland credit needed.
A purchase agreement with wetland bank #1468 will be drafted and executed following final approval of this permit
application by the LGU in order to secure the needed wetland banking credits for this project.

Dear Mr. Ryan:
This letter regards an approved jurisdictional determination for the Radanke Property. The
project site is in Section 11 & 12, Township 114 North, Range 22 West, Scott County,
Minnesota. The review area for our jurisdictional determination is identified as Wetlands A, B, C,
D, E, F, G, H, and J on the enclosed figures labeled MVP-2020-01505-DCR Page 1 of 2
through 2 of 2.
The review area, Wetlands A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and J, contains no waters of the United
States subject to Corps of Engineers (Corps) jurisdiction. Therefore, you are not required to
obtain Department of the Army authorization to discharge dredged or fill material within this
area. The rationale for this determination is provided in the enclosed Approved Jurisdictional
Determination form. This determination is only valid for the review area described. You are also
cautioned that the area of waters described on the enclosed Jurisdictional Determination form is
approximate and is not based on a precise delineation of aquatic resources.
If you object to this approved jurisdictional determination, you may request an administrative
appeal under Corps regulations at 33 CFR 331. Enclosed you will find a Notification of Appeal
Process (NAP) fact sheet and Request for Appeal (RFA) form. If you request to appeal this
determination, you must submit a completed RFA form to the Mississippi Valley Division Office
at the address shown on the form.
In order for an RFA to be accepted by the Corps, the Corps must determine that it is
complete, that it meets the criteria for appeal under 33 CFR 331.5, and that it has been received
by the Division Office within 60 days of the date of the enclosed NAP. It is not necessary to
submit an RFA form to the division office if you do not object to the determination in this letter
This approved jurisdictional determination may be relied upon for five years from the date of
this letter. However, the Corps reserves the right to review and revise the determination in
response to changing site conditions, information that was not considered during our initial
review, or off-site activities that could indirectly alter the extent of wetlands and other resources
on-site. This determination may be renewed at the end of the five year period provided you
submit a written request and our staff are able to verify that the limits established during the
original determination are still accurate.

A. Summary: Check all that apply. At least one box from the following list MUST be selected. Complete the
corresponding sections/tables and summarize data sources.
܆ The review area is comprised entirely of dry land (i.e., there are no waters or water features, including
wetlands, of any kind in the entire review area). Rationale: N/A or describe rationale.
܆ There are “navigable waters of the United States” within Rivers and Harbors Act jurisdiction within the
review area (complete table in Section II.B).
܆ There are “waters of the United States” within Clean Water Act jurisdiction within the review area
(complete appropriate tables in Section II.C).
܈ There are waters or water features excluded from Clean Water Act jurisdiction within the review area
(complete table in Section II.D).

2 If the navigable water is not subject to the ebb and flow of the tide or included on the District’s list of Rivers and Harbors Act Section 10 navigable
waters list, do NOT use this document to make the determination. The District must continue to follow the procedure outlined in 33 CFR part 329.14 to
make a Rivers and Harbors Act Section 10 navigability determination.
3 A stand-alone TNW determination is completed independently of a request for an AJD. A stand-alone TNW determination is conducted for a specific
segment of river or stream or other type of waterbody, such as a lake, where upstream or downstream limits or lake borders are established. A stand-
alone TNW determination should be completed following applicable guidance and should NOT be documented on the AJD Form.

the USGS and elevation contours it would not be
flooded by an (a)(1)-(3) water in a typical year.
The wetlands are not abutting or adjacent to a
jurisdictional tributary. The wetlands are not
jurisdictional under the Navigable Waters
Protection Rule and Clean Water Act.

4 Some excluded waters, such as (b)(2) and (b)(4), may not be specifically identified on the AJD form unless a requestor specifically asks a Corps district
to do so. Corps districts may, in case-by-case instances, choose to identify some or all of these waters within the review area.
5 Because of the broad nature of the (b)(1) exclusion and in an effort to collect data on specific types of waters that would be covered by the (b)(1)
exclusion, four sub-categories of (b)(1) exclusions were administratively created for the purposes of the AJD Form. These four sub-categories are not

Re: Supplemental Agreement to Provide Professional Engineering Services
Mushtown Road – 180th Street Watermain Extension
Dear Mr. Brotzler:
WSB is pleased to provide you with our proposal for professional services for the preparation of
construction documents and associated services for the extension of watermain in 180th Street
and Mushtown Road. The proposed improvements include approximately 2,600 feet of 12-inch
diameter watermain that provides a closed loop in the water system in this area of the City and to
serve the Parkwood Estates development.
Scope of Services
Generally, the scope of services will include topographic survey, geotechnical evaluation,
preparation of construction documents, bidding assistance, construction contract administration,
construction survey staking, and preparation of record plans.
The following list of tasks is proposed to complement preparation of construction documents
necessary to construct the project:
Task 1: Topographic Survey
WSB will perform a topographic survey to identify the existing terrain features, utilities, culverts,
and miscellaneous topographic features in the project corridor.
▪ Survey will include cross sections at approximately 50-foot intervals and generally will
identify edge-of-bituminous, centerline, shoulder PI, ditch/boulevard.
▪ Driveways from edge of driveway to 10 feet past the right-of-way.
▪ Storm drainage features such as culverts, including inverts, pipe size and material type.
▪ Sanitary sewer manholes.
▪ Watermain gate valves and hydrants.
▪ Significant trees of 4-inch diameter and larger.
▪ Perform Gopher State One Call and survey existing utilities as marked in the project
corridor. Utilities that are not marked by the utility owner will be identified on the plans by
mapping information provided by the utility owner. Utilities will be represented on the
plans as SUE quality level C or D.
Task 2: Geotechnical Evaluation
WSB will perform a geotechnical exploration and evaluation to identify general soil information in
the project corridor consisting of the following items:
▪ Geotechnical Field Work and Evaluation Report
o Access site with CME-55 truck mounted auger drill rig
o Perform six (6) soil borings to depth of about 14.5 feet below grade
▪ If borings are extended due to unsuitable soils at termination depths
Mr. Andy Brotzler, P.E.
June 2, 2021
Page 2
G:\.Clients All\Prior Lake\Proposals\2021 - Mushtown Road Watermain Extension\LTR_MH_ABrotzler-060221-Mushtown Road Watermain Extension.docx
(organics, fills, etc), additional depth may be required at additional cost
per foot.
▪ We will utilize flashing lights, signage, and cones for traffic control and
allow traffic to self-regulate around our work zone.
o Samples retrieved during drilling will be returned to our laboratory where they will
be reviewed, classified using the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and
logged under the direction of a geotechnical engineer.
o Select samples will be set aside for laboratory testing. We may perform routine
laboratory tests on selected soil samples obtained from the exploration.
o WSB will complete Gopher State One Call (GSOC) utility clearance to have
public underground utilities marked.
▪ Private utilities are the responsibility of the utility owner to mark, and
WSB should be notified of any private underground utilities that are
onsite.
o Some damage could occur to greenspace areas from normal drilling mobilization
and operations. Our proposed services do not include restoration of the site to
pre-conditions.
o Due to recent roadway improvements in the project corridor, no borings will be
taken within the bituminous pavement surfaces.
o Based on the proposed boring depths to depths ( < 15 feet ), MDH well sealing
notification and fees will not be required. If the borings are extended to a depth
of 15 feet or more, additional fees will be charged.
o WSB will prepare a geotechnical report with discussion of subsurface soil and
groundwater conditions and how they may affect the construction of the
watermain.
Task 3: Preparation of Construction Documents (Plans and Specifications)
The construction documents (plans and specifications) will be prepared in accordance with the
City's engineering requirements. The plans will be prepared for horizontal directional drilling
methods of construction.
The plans will generally include the following sheets (or combined items on sheets) for the
proposed improvements:
▪ Title sheet
▪ General Layout plan
▪ Statement of Estimated Quantities
▪ Construction Notes
▪ Typical sections (if necessary)
▪ Standard Details
▪ Existing Conditions and Removals
▪ Watermain plan and profile
▪ Temporary and permanent erosion control plans
The number of plan sheets estimated for this proposal are shown in more detail on the Estimated
Project Fee worksheet enclosed for your reference.
Our staff will perform a GSOC design request for private utility maps, field markings for the
topographic survey, GSOC design meeting and coordination with utility owners.
Task 4: Agency Permits
WSB staff will prepare permit applications for the PL-SLWD and Minnesota Department of Health
Watermain Plan Review. The permit fees are proposed as reimbursable expenses to the project
and are identified on the fee worksheet for reference.

June 2, 2021
Page 3
G:\.Clients All\Prior Lake\Proposals\2021 - Mushtown Road Watermain Extension\LTR_MH_ABrotzler-060221-Mushtown Road Watermain Extension.docx
The fee estimates for work associated with permitting the proposed project within Credit River
Township. include one joint meeting with the City and Township. Once the scope of work
associated with permitting the project within township right of way has been defined, WSB can
provide a separate fee estimate for permitting work associated with the project (Right of way,
traffic control, road closures, as needed or required).
Task 5: Bidding Assistance
During the bidding phase of the project, WSB staff will provide assistance to the City and to plan
holders in responding to pre-bid questions, clarifications, addenda (if necessary) and opening of
bids. Our staff will prepare bid tabulations, bid summary and recommendation letter for
consideration of awarding a contract.
Task 6: Construction Administration
During the construction phase, our staff will attend the pre-construction meeting, prepare the
meeting agenda, and provide meeting summary notes of the discussion at the meeting.
We propose to prepare construction payment vouchers on a monthly basis upon contractor
application for payment, and will coordinate signatures of the contractor, city and our staff for
processing.
Task 7: Construction Survey and Engineering
The construction services includes engineering assistance to the City for the interpretation of
plans and specifications as requested, and a survey crew for construction staking services,
record plan survey, and preparation of record plans for the constructed improvements.
The City plans to provide a resident construction representative to observe construction activities
daily, and document quantities for partial payment to the Contractor. The City representative will
contact WSB to schedule construction staking, and to request clarification of plans and
specifications, on an as-needed basis.
Compensation Summary
Our fees for the scope of services is proposed on an hourly basis, estimated as summarized
below. The fee estimate is provided in a detailed format on the enclosed Estimated Project Fees
Worksheet.
▪ Task 1: Topographic Survey $ 5,939
▪ Task 2: Geotechnical Evaluation $ 5,904
