HomeMy WebLinkAbout4D - Fish Point Road ~ CONSENT AGENDA: PREPARED BY: SUBJECT: 4 (d) LARRY J. ANDERSON, DIRECfOR OF PUBLIC WORKS CONSIDER AUTHORIZING MAIER STEWART & ASSOCIATES, INC. TO PREPARE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR FISH POINT ROAD WITHIN THE PLAT OF CARDINAL RIDGE IDLY 6, 1993 DATE: INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this Agenda item is to authorize MSA to prepare the plans and specifications for Fish Point Road. BACKGROUND: Sienna Corporation is in the process of platting the plat of Cardinal Ridge. The City Council approved the preliminary plat on June 7, 1993. The fIrst phase of the plat includes the construction of Fish Point Road, which is proposed to be constructed by the City with Municipal State Aid Funds. The developer is requesting that the City proceed with the design of Fish Point Road prior to the fmal approval of the plat. The reason for this is that the public bid process and State Aid approval requires additional time beyond the developer's timing. Staff requested a proposal from MSA for the design and construction of Fish Point Road for the fIrst phase of Cardinal Ridge. MSA fees for the design and construction of Fish Point Road is $27,525.00 and $23,600.00 respectively. The engineering fees are eligible for Municipal State Aid funding, and per our assessment policy the developer would not be responsible for engineering design costs on a collector street. Staff is requesting a cash deposit in the event that the plat is not approved. Authorization for construction services will be deferred until the plat is approved. DISCUSSION: On March 15, 1993, Resolution #93-16 was approved by the City Council which included the authorization of preparation of plans and subject to further Council review of projects. The intent being that this project would be subject to Council approval since it was not an approved plat. The developer will provide security to the City for payment of the engineering design fees in the event that the developer does not complete the plat. (See the attached letter from the developer.) The authorization of the preparation of plans would be subject to 4629 Dakota 51. 5.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph.
