Mn/DOT Cooperative Construction Agreement Because Mn/DOT is the agency that designed the project and the project involves the relocation/replacement of some City utilities we are being asked to enter into this agreement. There is no cost to the agreement. It simply states that due to the effect on our City utilities, we requested their relocation be included in the project. It also lays out our rights and responsibility during construction to observe and comment to Mn/DOT if we think changes need to be made. It makes clear that the City will be responsible for maintenance of the relocated utilities after the project. Finally, it protects the City should there be any suspension of work, that our utilities will be left in an "acceptable operating condition." A copy of the agreement and a resolution entering into it and authorizing the Mayor and City Administrator to execute the agreement are attached. Ramsey County Cooperative Agreement Since Ramsey County is the funding agency for the project, the Cooperative Agreement deals with the City's costs for items included in the project. Since the project bids will not be opened until February 8t", our costs at this time are based on estimates. After bids are opened a detailed cost split will be prepared. Generally, the City's cost for various items in the project are listed below: • City utility relocations - No cost to the City because the intersection design caused the need for the relocations. • Lakeshore Place reconstruction -No cost to the City because the reconstruction is due to the highway intersection grade changes. • Steel casing pipe for the future elimination of LS #11 - This is 100% City cost because we asked for it to be included in the project. The estimated cost is $20,000 425,000. • New signal at Highway 96 and Round Lake Road - 25% of the cost will be the City's since we have one of the four legs (Ramsey County will be paying for the new Arden Manor entrance). The estimated cost to the City is $35,000-$45,000. • Emergency Vehicle Pre-emption (EVP) - The City's cost of the EVP system for the signal is expected to be less than $5,000. • Trail and sidewalk adjacent to Highway 96 - The City's cost will be calculated by the County's Cost Participation Policy. However, since this project has Federal monies involved, those will be first applied to eligible items prior to the County's split of costs. The current estimate of the City's cost for all trail and sidewalk items is $55,000-$65,000. • Land Acquisition for Parcel #4 - The County provided all land acquisition services for the project.
