Public Works Director City of Arden Hills Arden Hills,MN 55112 RE: Proposal for Professional Surveying and Engineering Services Topographic Survey and Feasibility Study County Road E Improvements Dear Mr.Maurer, The City of Arden Hills has completed a B-2 district Implementation Planning Study that concluded with recommendations and concepts for initial(Phase I)improvements along the County Road E corridor between T.H. 51 and Lexington Avenue. To continue the development of the proposed corridor improvements,a feasibility study is proposed to complete preliminary engineering and design,refined cost estimating,develop a cost sharing scenario between applicable stakeholders,and to prepare preliminary assessments for the improvements. The feasibility study would also satisfy M.S.Chapter 429 requirements for special assessments. The study will not include further evaluation of the backage road between Pine Tree Drive and the Shell Station,as shown in the Phase I concept. This proposal details our scope of work and fees to complete this feasibility study. To facilitate the completion of the feasibility study,we are also recommending that a topographic survey be completed along relevant segments of the County Road E corridor and adjacent properties. The survey will allow us to carry the Phase I concept into preliminary design,reflecting the actual site grades and dimensions that are required to evaluate the various improvements and modifications along the corridor, such as turning movements within modified parking lots,or grades along new sidewalk corridors. This proposal also details our scope of work and fees to complete the topographic survey. TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY Bolton&Menk will complete a topographic survey that includes the following elements of the County Road E corridor and adjacent properties. These elements correspond to those improvements illustrated in the Phase I concept. A. Curb&gutter and roadway crown every 100 feet along C.R.E,to verify the roadway dimensions and cross section drainage. j B. All existing driveway entrances along C.R. E. C. All existing boulevard lights and trees along C.R.E. D. All three signalized intersections(Connelly Street,Pine Tree Drive,and Lexington Avenue). E. Connelly Street radius at the Pot-O-Gold entrance. F. Proposed sidewalk corridor along north side of C.R. E,between west and east Connelly Street intersections. G. Easterly Connelly Street intersection. H. Front parking lot and fueling area at Shell Station. 1. Proposed driveway connection between Shell station and W.J. Anderson Dentist. J. Proposed sidewalk corridor along the north side of C.R.E,from Staples to Lexington Avenue. DESIGNING FOR A BETTER TOMORROW Bolton&Menk is an equal opportunity employer
