The Bolton & Menk proposal provided a clear and organized approach and recognized <br />the importance of adhering to Municipal State-Aid (MSA) standards and delivering a design that <br />meets the needs of the community. While Bolton and Menk’s proposal was not the least <br />expensive, Staff feels their proposal is the best option to do our full due diligence in addressing <br />the neighborhoods concerns regarding the safety of the road and foot and bicycle traffic while <br />still keeping the project in-line with budget expectations. Bolton and Menk’s preliminary <br />suggestions regarding an approach to pedestrian safety can be found in Attachment C on page <br />seven of their proposal. The presented team has experience in similar street and utility <br />improvement projects within Arden Hills, Bolton & Menk provided a detailed project delivery <br />schedule, and sufficient hours to complete a quality design and properly administer the <br />construction process. <br /> <br />The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed professional services agreement with Bolton & <br />Menk as provided in Attachment C. Staff recommends approval of the agreement. <br /> <br />Budget Impact <br /> <br />The current total project cost estimate of $1,250,000 includes the estimated cost for engineering <br />design and construction services of approximately 20 percent, or $250,000.
