City of Prior Lake | 4646 Dakota Street SE | Prior Lake MN 55372
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
ITEM: 5J
MEETING DATE: March 21, 2022
PREPARED BY: Nick Monserud, Assistant City Engineer
PRESENTED BY: Nick Monserud
AGENDA ITEM: Approve a work order for the Downtown South Reconstruction
Project (CP 2020-11)
GOAL AREA
OBJECTIVE:
Transportation & Mobility
1. Maintain quality local street system based on a financially stable
plan that meets Overall Condition targets.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution approving a work order for the Downtown South Reconstruction Project (CP
2020-11).
BACKGROUND:
On February 18, 2020, Council authorized the preparation of the feasibility report and on May 3,
2021 a public hearing was held and the project was ordered including approval of a Work Order
with Bolton & Menk to complete the design services for this project. To date $569,114 have
been authorized by the City Council for engineering services on the Downtown South
Reconstruction project.
Since that time, BMI has accrued additional costs in the amount of $98,568 for the reasons
listed below:
• The adjacent redevelopment (VFW/Beard Group) fell through after completion of the
Feasibility Report for the project. As a result, the City directed BMI to re-analyze the
entire project design, focusing specifically on the design of Colorado Street.
o Three design options were laid out for the re-designed Colorado Street corridor.
Each option was evaluated and had preliminary design completed to ensure the
project grades were feasible. These options were presented to the City for
consideration and included detailed figures, cost estimates and design
considerations for each option. The City selected a revised option (changing
angled parking to parallel parking) that again required a new layout and
additional re-design of the Colorado Street corridor, including walks.
o Along with the three design options, the City also directed BMI to evaluate the
future buildout of the south side of Colorado, whenever redevelopment does
occur. The purpose of this evaluation was to verify grades of our proposed street
improvements could be tied into in order to add additional angled parking along
the south side at the time of such redevelopment.
o The feasibility report had indicated the project’s plans to utilize space under the
redevelopment’s proposed surface parking lot for use as an underground
stormwater management system. With the redevelopment no longer moving
forward, our water resources group had to reanalyze potential options for
stormwater management to meet PLSLWD requirements. BMI spent additional
Item 5J
Page | 2
time evaluating other options for stormwater management, such as the city
municipal parking lot.
• The City directed BMI to complete a private street lighting design. The street lighting was
originally scoped to work with local utility companies to determine areas of replacement
or additions. Changing the lighting improvements to a completely private system added
significant design efforts and specification needs to the project scope.
• The City directed BMI to add concrete paving to the project in the angled parking bays to
provide a visual differentiation between the drive lanes and the parking lanes. This
required the creation of a concrete paving plan, concrete jointing plan, supplemental
reinforcement plan, and all associated sheets.
• Additional topographic survey was necessary to accommodate the design evaluations of
the T-Shirts & More and State Farm properties to ensure reasonable parking lot grades
after the inclusion of the queuing lane. Additional topographic survey was required to
capture curb stops throughout the project area that were not marked during our initial
surveying efforts. Additional topo was also required for the backyard 8” sanitary sewer
lines and manhole reports that were added to the scope of CIPP lining candidates just
before the completion of the Feasibility Report.
• The City directed BMI to add an extension of the sanitary sewer main along Pleasant
Street and up Main Avenue. This work required additional design, plan sheet creation,
and callouts/coordination for future services stubs.
• The City directed BMI to add the rehabilitation of the City municipal parking lot to the
project scope. This required additional project layout, design, coordination, plan sheets,
and specifications.
• The City directed BMI to complete additional design analysis and generate design
options adjacent to PLate Restaurant’s landscaping area along Pleasant Street. Angled
parking was proposed but alternatives were considered and formal figures were created
for their consideration, including final grades and construction limits. An individual
meeting was held with the property owner to go over these design options.
• The City directed BMI to complete additional design analysis regarding the curb line in
front of Stems & Vines floral shop. Grades were evaluated and a figure was generated
for the property owner’s consideration, including streetscaping and truck turning
movement considerations.
• The City directed BMI to add additional CIPP lining of the 24” RCP sanitary sewer lines
behind Pleasant Street and Duluth Avenue to the project scope as a bid alternate late in
the project design.
o This required quick, extensive abstract investigations to determine and include
known easement information through these areas.
o An additional plan sheet and extensive specifications identifying the requirements
of this work had to be generated to cover the specific details and difficulties
associated with this specific work and to cover the handling of the bid alternate.
• Significant coordination efforts are required for the overhead to underground power
burial. Xcel Energy will complete the work for the burial of the main lines, but the City is
responsible for hiring a certified electrician and completing the service line
installations/connections and swapping out the meter sockets.
o BMI has reached out and began coordination with Choice Electric to complete
this work.
o The City is required to coordinate the completion of Xcel Energy paperwork for
each individual property to be converted. The City is also required to pay Xcel
Energy’s fees for each property.
Item 5J
Page | 3
o This effort will require continued coordination, beyond that already provided, with
property owners’ to inform them of the work, educate them on the changes, and
obtain all necessary signatures and approvals from them to complete the work.
Our communication team is expected to be engaged to assist with this effort.
• Permanent easements and temporary easements/right-of-entry agreements were
deemed necessary for the project. These permanent easements require the creation of
easement exhibits and legal descriptions for each location. Depending on how the City
would like to proceed, additional exhibits may be required for the temporary easements
as well.
o Temporary easements/right-of-entry agreements are required for the T-Shirts &
More and State Farm properties to allow for replacement and re-grading of their
driveway/parking lots to better accommodate grades coming off of the new
sidewalk with the adjacent queuing lane making grades difficult.
o Temporary easements/right-of-entry agreements are required for all commercial
buildings whose building faces are at the right-of-way. Due to inconsistencies
and concrete jointing, the building faces/concrete joints aren’t exactly at the right-
of-way, and so the project will require concrete replacement beyond the right-of-
way to complete the replacement to the building face. The State Aid office
commented on this and required a temporary easement be noted on the plans.
o Temporary easements/right-of-entry agreements are required for various
properties to complete tree removals, retaining wall removals, parking lot tie-ins,
etc. These work items received verbal approvals from the property owners, but
the State Aid office commented and required a temporary easement be noted on
the plans since we are showing improvements beyond the right-of-way.
o Permanent easements are required for the sidewalk/street improvements along
the south side of Colorado Street at the City municipal parking lot property, the
VFW parking lot property, and the Sebastian’s Auto property (city owned).
o A permanent easement is required for Xcel Energy along the western property
line of the City municipal parking lot property to accommodate the overhead
power burial and allow for underground power to the existing backyard lines.
o A permanent easement is required for Xcel Energy behind the walk in the green
space of the State Farm property. The City is required to negotiate this easement
with the property owner.
• The City directed BMI to issue an addendum to the project to change stormwater BMP’s
for the outlet manholes on the project from “Snouts” to “SAFL Baffles”. This required the
inclusion of an extensive specification update to cover the new BMP.
• With the inclusion of contaminated soil management in the project due to the findings in
three borings during the geotechnical analysis and environmental review, it is necessary
to amend our existing construction materials testing contract with Braun Intertec to
include environmental services during construction. Braun has provided us with an
amended proposal to add the anticipated environmental services to their contract.
• Extensive communications and public engagement efforts have been required due to
specific project requests by the City, including additional project meetings and public
meetings.
o The open houses/neighborhood meetings accounted for in our original scope of
services has already been exceeded.
o A streetscaping presentation was prepared and presented at a City Council work
session that was not included for in the original scope of services.
o We are still planning for up to two additional open house meetings prior to
construction.

RE: Engineering for Downtown South Reconstruction Project
Additional Project Design Scope – Amendment 2
Dear Mr. Monserud:
Throughout the process of final design on the Downtown South Reconstruction Project, there have been
several additions to the project scope of services which has resulted in additional design and project
communication fees being accrued. We have been tracking these fees and updating the City so the project
team can continue to evaluate overall project costs, but continued to move forward with final design to
ensure the project was able to stay on schedule. Below is a list of several of the changes to the project since
the original contract and amendment 1 was submitted:
• The adjacent redevelopment (VFW/Beard Group) fell through after completion of the Feasibility
Report for the project. As a result, the City directed BMI to re-analyze the entire project design,
focusing specifically on the design of Colorado Street.
o Three design options were laid out for the re-designed Colorado Street corridor. Each
option was evaluated and had preliminary design completed to ensure the project grades
were feasible. These options were presented to the City for consideration and included
detailed figures, cost estimates and design considerations for each option. The City
selected a revised option (changing angled parking to parallel parking) that again required
a new layout and additional re-design of the Colorado Street corridor, including walks.
o Along with the three design options, the City also directed BMI to evaluate the future
buildout of the south side of Colorado, whenever redevelopment does occur. The purpose
of this evaluation was to verify grades of our proposed street improvements could be tied
into in order to add additional angled parking along the south side at the time of such
redevelopment.
o The feasibility report had indicated the project’s plans to utilize space under the
redevelopment’s proposed surface parking lot for use as an underground stormwater
management system. With the redevelopment no longer moving forward, our water
resources group had to reanalyze potential options for stormwater management to meet
PLSLWD requirements. BMI spent additional time evaluating other options for
stormwater management, such as the city municipal parking lot.
• The City directed BMI to complete a private street lighting design. The street lighting was
originally scoped to work with local utility companies to determine areas of replacement or
N:\Proposals\Prior Lake\2021 Downtown South Recon 013120\Amendment 2\DT South Amendment 2_20220207.docx
additions. Changing the lighting improvements to a completely private system added significant
design efforts and specification needs to the project scope.
• The City directed BMI to add concrete paving to the project in the angled parking bays to provide
a visual differentiation between the drive lanes and the parking lanes. This required the creation
of a concrete paving plan, concrete jointing plan, supplemental reinforcement plan, and all
associated sheets.

• Permanent easements and temporary easements/right-of-entry agreements were deemed necessary
for the project. These permanent easements require the creation of easement exhibits and legal
descriptions for each location. Depending on how the City would like to proceed, additional
exhibits may be required for the temporary easements as well.
o Temporary easements/right-of-entry agreements are required for the T-Shirts & More and
State Farm properties to allow for replacement and re-grading of their driveway/parking
lots to better accommodate grades coming off of the new sidewalk with the adjacent
queuing lane making grades difficult.
o Temporary easements/right-of-entry agreements are required for all commercial buildings
whose building faces are at the right-of-way. Due to inconsistencies and concrete
jointing, the building faces/concrete joints aren’t exactly at the right-of-way, and so the
project will require concrete replacement beyond the right-of-way to complete the
replacement to the building face. The State Aid office commented on this and required a
temporary easement be noted on the plans.
o Temporary easements/right-of-entry agreements are required for various properties to
complete tree removals, retaining wall removals, parking lot tie-ins, etc. These work
items received verbal approvals from the property owners, but the State Aid office
commented and required a temporary easement be noted on the plans since we are

for underground power to the existing backyard lines.
o A permanent easement is required for Xcel Energy behind the walk in the green space of
the State Farm property. The City is required to negotiate this easement with the property

• The City directed BMI to issue an addendum to the project to change stormwater BMP’s for the
outlet manholes on the project from “Snouts” to “SAFL Baffles”. This required the inclusion of
an extensive specification update to cover the new BMP.
• With the inclusion of contaminated soil management in the project due to the findings in three
borings during the geotechnical analysis and environmental review, it is necessary to amend our
existing construction materials testing contract with Braun Intertec to include environmental
services during construction. Braun has provided us with an amended proposal to add the
anticipated environmental services to their contract.
• Extensive communications and public engagement efforts have been required due to specific
project requests by the City, including additional project meetings and public meetings.
o The open houses/neighborhood meetings accounted for in our original scope of services
has already been exceeded.
o A streetscaping presentation was prepared and presented at a City Council work session
that was not included for in the original scope of services.
o We are still planning for up to two additional open house meetings prior to construction.
Each of these items added significant time to the design efforts for the project. However, these additional
efforts allowed the City to completely evaluate all of the design options and associated costs to ensure the
public received the best project to serve the community. By continuing these efforts during design, we were
N:\Proposals\Prior Lake\2021 Downtown South Recon 013120\Amendment 2\DT South Amendment 2_20220207.docx
able to ensure the project was still delivered on the original schedule which allowed for optimal bidding
prices.
The original proposal and inclusion of Amendment 1 for the project was in the total amount of $569,114.
All of the project scope additions described above have resulted in an increase to the overall design and
communication/public engagement costs that encompasses the scope of work we were approved for. We
are requesting an amendment for $98,568. Please see the attached spreadsheet with our breakdown of
estimated hours that have been accrued to accommodate the described scope changes. This will bring the
total project fee to $667,682.
TOTAL PROJECT AMENDMENT FEE = $98,568
We appreciate your trust in us to complete the project changes that have come up over the course of this
project. We look forward to the construction phase of this project which will construct defining
improvements in an important downtown corridor of the City with features that will serve the public with
safety and aesthetic improvements now and into the future.
