PROJECT SCOPE & ApPROACH In accordance with the City of Arden Hills Pavement Management Program, a street reconstruction project is scheduled for the Glenarden neighborhood. The residential streets included in this area include: Arden Place, Glenarden Court, Glenarden Road, Forest Lane, Skiles Lane and Snelling A venue North (Arden Place to cuI- de-sac ). The City is seeking professional engineering and surveying services in conjunction with this project. In general, the City's engineering consultant will be required to cOlnplete the feasibility report, preliminary assessment roll, preliminary stormwater managelnent plan, preliminary/final design, bidding, construction documents, permitting, contract administration, final assessment roll, construction staking, construction observation, construction adlninistration and as-built survey services for the project. Bolton & Menk, Inc. proposes to complete the following tasks as a part of our services to the City of Arden Hills. These tasks are correlated with the Required Services Description, as outlined in the City's RFQ. Task 1: FEASIBILITY REPORT Bolton & Menk, Inc. will complete preliminary engineering services and feasibility study & report for the proposed project, including field reviews of the project site, preparation of presentation graphics and exhibits for public meetings. The feasibility report \vill include a project description, background information, engineer's estimate, recommendations, approxinlate timeline., and proposed schedule following the Minnesota Chapter 429 process as well as prelilninary assessn1ent rolls. Bolton & Menk \vill also work with the Rice Creek Watershed District to prepare a preliminary stonn water managelnent plan for the project. Bolton & Menk will utilize the field surveying that the City has already cOlnpleted. In addition, we will utilize the base drawing completed by the City for our preliminary and final design. The work previously completed by the City of Arden Hills will be used to the fullest extent. All components of the City's preliminary street design will be reviewed before incorporating into the plans. We understand that the City of Arden Hills is in the process of evaluating the sanitary sewer and watermain and that the results of these studies will be addressed in the feasibility report. At the connnencement of the project, Bolton & Menk, Inc. will conduct a kick-off Ineeting with City Staff to receive input from the City's Staff regarding their opinions of any necessary improvelnents. Bolton & Menk's Senior Project Manager and Project Engineer will be available for up to two neighborhood meetings during the completion of the feasibility study. In addition, we will attend two City Council meetings for the purpose of presenting the feasibility report and conducting the public hearing. Key issues we will consider during the completion of this project include: ~ Expanded storm sewer infrastructure. ~ Water quality and run-off reduction improvelnents (i.e. rain gardens, sediment removal structures, etc.). ~ Rice Creek Watershed District permitting requirements. ~ Maintaining the rural feel of the neighborhood by minimizing tree and boulevard ilnpacts. ~ Minimizing impacts to private property.
