 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE:EDC Agenda Item 5.A <br />February 6, 2013 <br />TO: <br />Economic Development Commission Chair and Commissioners <br />FROM: <br />Jill Hutmacher, Community Development Director <br />SUBJECT: <br />TCAAP Update <br />City and County staff have scheduled regular weekly meetings to discuss the TCAAP project. <br />Representatives from Bolander &Sons and governmental and regulatory agencies will be invited <br />as necessary depending on discussion topics. <br />Ramsey County is working with Bolander & Sons to issue a Limited Notice to Proceed. This <br />would allow Bolander to begin working on the permittingprocess and other preparation prior to <br />the County’s closing with the GSA. City staff is working with Bolander to identify opportunities <br />for SAC credits for buildings to be demolished. Meetings are being scheduled with the Rice <br />Creek Watershed District to discuss permitting, and with the Metropolitan Council to discuss <br />SAC credits. <br />Bolander will be removing all remaining buildings, building pads, streets, utilities, and parking <br />areas. Bolander’s primary access point will be from Highway Avenue/County Road H at I-35W. <br />Crews will work Monday through Friday, 7:00 am until 5:30 pm (or during daylight hours in the <br />winter months). Saturday will be worked as a make-up day in the event of inclement weather. <br />Bolander estimates that up to 50 trucks per day willleave the site. <br />The remediation and demolition contract requires Bolander to restore the site to safe, legal slopes <br />and to lay seed. Site grading is not included in the Bolander contract. <br />Ramsey County is in close contact with the General Services Administration regarding federal <br />approval of the Amended Offer to Purchase. The County anticipates that closing will occur by <br />April 15, 2013. <br />The Request for Proposals for the TCAAP Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR), Master <br />Plan, and Regulations& Policies was posted on the City’s website on February 1, 2013. The <br />deadline for responses is March 15, 2013. <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Economic Development Commission February 6, 2013 <br />11 <br />Page of <br />
