701 Xenia Avenue South | Suite 300 | Minneapolis, MN 55416 | (763) 541-4800 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />February 9, 2017 <br /> <br />Mr. Bill Joynes <br />City Administrator <br />City of Arden Hills <br />1245 W Highway 96 <br />Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br /> <br /> <br />Re: City of Arden Hills 2017 Trail Projects – Old Snelling Trail/Watermain Extension and County Road E2 Trail Project <br /> Scope of Services to Provide Engineering for Project Design and Construction Services <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Joynes: <br /> <br />We are pleased to present this proposal for professional engineering services to assist the City of Arden Hills with the <br />final design and construction services for the 2017 Trail Projects including Old Snelling Trail/Watermain Extension and <br />County Road E2 Trail Project. The following outlines the scope of services and the associated engineering fees necessary <br />to complete these projects. <br /> <br />General Project Scope <br /> <br />The scope of the project is to provide the design, construction, and general project management for the 2017 Trail Projects in <br />the City of Arden Hills. The Old Snelling Trail Project begins at the existing trail connection on County Road E near TH 51, <br />continues along Old Snelling Avenue under the Canadian Pacific railroad crossing, and terminates at County Road E2 where <br />the existing trailhead is located; a total of 4,700 feet of new bituminous trail. The watermain extension is located along Old <br />Snelling Avenue from County Road E to approximately 1,000 feet west of Old Snelling Trail along County Road E2. In total, <br />the project includes the installation of approximately 4,700 feet of new bituminous trail, 4,500 feet of trunk watermain, <br />concrete curb and gutter, retaining walls, stormwater management improvements, and related work. This project will not <br />only provide a looping watermain connection to increase fire flow capabilities and water quality, but also complete a critical <br />trail connection to improve connectivity with local residents and the main Bethel University Campus. <br /> <br />A consultant hired by the City in 2016 completed preliminary engineering for a portion of the project which included only <br />wetland delineation, surveying, preliminary design and a feasibility report for the section of trail along County Road E and Old <br />Snelling Avenue up to Bethel University. WSB will provide services to complete the final design of the original trail section, <br />preliminary and final design for the additional trail sections the watermain improvements, and construction services for all <br />components as one cohesive project. <br /> <br />Services to be provided by WSB include preparation of design and construction documents, topographic survey, soil borings <br />and geotechnical evaluation, wetland delineations, permitting (wetland impacts, RCWD, and SWPPP), public involvement and <br />meetings, construction services (construction staking, administration and observation), record plans, and warranty <br />inspection. An important aspect of this project will be the continued coordination with Bethel University and Ramsey County <br />to ensure that this project is designed and implemented with all stakeholders in mind. The schedule included with this <br />proposal was established to assume completion of this project in 2017. <br />
