Page 1 of 2 DATE: March 21, 2016 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Susan Iverson, Acting City Administrator FROM: John Anderson, Acting Public Works Director SUBJECT: Cooperative Agreement Amendment for Final Design- TCAAP Requested Action Provide staff with feedback on the proposed final design services Cooperative Agreement for TCAAP. Background The City Council approved a Cooperative Agreement with Ramsey County for the preliminary design of TCAAP on December 8, 2014 (Attachment B). The City’s share of the Cooperative Agreement is $144,312.00; the County’s share of that agreement is $721,648.00. Discussion The preliminary site development process has moved ahead to the point where final design must begin to ensure plans are ready for construction in 2017. Ramsey County has obtained a proposal from Kimley Horn to complete final design on the infrastructure (Attachment A). The project scope as described in the Kimley Horn proposal is divided between the City of Arden Hills and Ramsey County as detailed in the Cooperative Agreement Amendment for Final Design (Attachment C). Table 1 below summarizes the cost break down between the two parties. The total amount of the Final Design is $1,243,109.70. The Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement identifies the City cost to be $357,142.94 and the County’s share to be $885,966.76. The scope of work as it relates to the water tower and booster station provides additional modeling to determine the final sizing of the water tower, timing of when the tower is needed, and to what extent the tower and booster station benefits the TCAAP site and the existing north pressure zone. Additional design work will be needed to complete a design and bid package for construction of the water tower and booster station when they are needed to serve the site. ITEM – 1B MEMORANDUM
