This will include a geotechnical evaluation, topographic survey of the <br />corridor, an analysis of the existing sewer and water systems, preliminary design of the street and <br />drainage improvements, public engagement, cost estimate, benefit appraisals and proposed <br />assessments.

Staff recommends approving <br />Resolution 2025-025, Attachment B, to move ahead with preparation of the Feasibility Report <br />for the 2026 PMP. <br />Also, at the City Council Work Session on February 10, 2025, Council authorized staff to direct <br />select Bolton & Menk to provide a proposal for professional services to include the feasibility <br />report, design of plans and specifications, and construction administration. Since then, staff has <br />received the proposal (Attachment C) and negotiated with the consultant to ensure the City will <br />be receiving a quality project at a competitive cost. Bolton & Menk has been the engineering <br />consultant on the 2021 PMP, the Old Snelling Street and Trail Improvement project (2022 PMP), <br />and the 2024 PMP. These projects were very successful and overall City staff received positive <br />feedback from residents involved. City staff has become familiar with Bolton & Menk’s team <br />and Bolton & Menk is familiar with the City’s PMP project process and Assessment Policy. The <br />Bolton & Menk proposal provided a clear and organized approach, a detailed project delivery <br />schedule, and sufficient hours to complete a quality project and properly administer public <br />engagement. Staff recommends accepting the proposal from Bolton & Menk in the amount not- <br />to-exceed $439,813. <br />During the feasibility study phase, a geotechnical evaluation is necessary to support the proposed <br />improvements. Braun Intertec has provided a proposal with a fee not-to-exceed $34,725.
