lt ,ARZEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: January 28, 2013 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Patrick Klaers, City Administrator FROM: Terry Maurer, Public Works Director �TTA SUBJECT: US 10/Hwy 96 Agreements BacklZround Mn/DOT and Ramsey County are working cooperatively to complete the grade separation of the intersection of US 10 and Highway 96. Ramsey County will be funding the entire construction cost while Mn/DOT has completed the design and will be providing bidding and construction services. The lowering of Highway 96 (approximately 17 feet) to pass under US 10 will affect several of our City utilities, water main and sanitary sewer forcemain, which will have to be replaced at a lower depth. The project will also build a new signal system at the intersection of Highway 96 and Old Highway 10 and rebuild the existing signal system at the intersection of Highway 96 and Round Lake Road, which will also become the new entrance to Arden Manor. The project will also require the reconstruction of Lakeshore Place due to the significant grade changes of the 10/96 intersection. City staff asked for a steel casing pipe to be placed under Highway 96 in the location of Lift Station#I I for a future gravity sewer line when Lift Station#11 is eliminated to save the future cost of "jacking" the casing pipe under the highway. Finally, there will be some improvements, such as a trail and sidewalk along Highway 96, that the City will be asked to share in the cost of construction. With this brief background, the City is being asked to enter into three separate agreements for this project: a Mn/DOT Cooperative Construction Agreement, a Ramsey County Cooperative Agreement and a Mn/DOT/Ramsey County Signal Agreement. The City attorney has reviewed all three agreements. A more detailed discussion of each follows.
