Page 1 of 2 DATE: March 14, 2016 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Sue Iverson, Acting City Administrator FROM: John Anderson, Acting Public Works Director SUBJECT: County Road E Bridge Pedestrian Lighting Requested Action Provide staff direction on the installation of two LED light fixtures and poles on the County Road E / TH 51 Bridge to light the pedestrian facility on the south side of this bridge. Background MnDOT reconstructed the bridge over TH 51 at County Road E in 2015. Included in that construction was placement of conduit in the bridge structure to route a power supply to two locations on the ends of the bridge for light poles if the City wished to someday install lighting. Also in 2015, the City of Arden Hills and Ramsey County had a joint improvement project along County Road E. Part of that project was the addition of pedestrian lighting along both sides of the street. The lights that were added are owned and maintained by Xcel Energy. Discussion Xcel will not install and maintain lighting on a bridge. MnDOT and Ramsey County are the two road authorities involved in the bridge over TH 51 at County Road E. The City is responsible for improvements on the bridge above and beyond the basic installation. The City Council expressed an interest in the addition of pedestrian lighting along the bridge. Public Works has obtained two quotes for the installation of lighting with two fixture options (HPS, LED). The quotes include placing a power supply cabinet on the west end of the bridge and directional boring a conduit to the bridge and installing all wiring and fixtures on the bridge. A power drop would be required from Xcel energy in the park, and to date we have not received an estimate on this cost. From a maintenance standpoint, we recommend using LED fixtures. The City will be responsible to maintain these poles and fixtures in the future. AGENDA ITEM – 1A MEMORANDUM Page 2 of 2 We obtained two quotes for the work, one from Forest Lake Contracting and one from Peoples Electric. The results are listed in Table 1 below. We have requested three quotes but have only had two responses to date. Table 1 - Co Rd E Bridge Lighting Quotes No. Contractor LED Option 1 Forest Lake Contracting $ 17,173.00 2 Peoples Electric $ 24,400.00 The light fixture and poles are similar to that of the pedestrian lights along County Road E that Xcel maintains. The lights quoted have LED bulbs and should require less maintenance than the high pressure sodium option. The color of the fixture and pole is black and should coordinate with the existing pedestrian lighting installed by Xcel. Details of the fixtures and poles are included in Attachment C Attachments Attachment A: Forest Lake Contracting quote 2/26/16 Attachment B: Peoples Electric quote 3/11/16 Attachment C: LED light fixture and pole details Page 1 of 2 DATE: March 14, 2016 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Sue Iverson, Acting City Administrator FROM: John Anderson, Acting Public Works Director SUBJECT: 2016 Rain Water Garden Planting Requested Action Review background material and give staff direction on a course of action to complete design of planting layouts, coordination with residents, obtaining pricing for plant materials and assisting in planting layout of the 22 front yard rain water gardens and 2 larger City gardens along trails. Background The Rice Creek Watershed District Rules require the City install storm water treatment in conjunction with construction of the 2015 PMP. The construction that took place in 2015 prepared rain water gardens for planting by excavating, installing drain tile, and placement of planting soil and mulch. Rain Water Gardens located in front yards were only put in if the residents volunteered the space. When we solicited volunteers for rain water gardens, residents were told the planting would be done in 2016. We also told residents that the City would partner with them on maintenance of the gardens. Some basic planting plans were described but residents were told specific plans to each garden would be developed and shared before planting begins. Attachment A is the letter that was sent to prospective rain garden hosts. Attachment B contains materials provided to potential rain garden participants about design, construction and planting options. Attachments C and D shows the rain garden footprint proposed to be constructed. Discussion In order to proceed with the rain water garden planting, we need to assemble planting layouts, coordinate with residents, get quotes for plant materials, physically mark layout, and plant the plant materials. In 2015, we had planned to do this work though the Assistant City Engineer as the lead and I did most of the leg work in collecting volunteers, mailing information to residents, etc. With the current limitations on my time, I am unable to devote the time needed to this process and need assistance to complete the preparations for planting. All of this work described is the planning and preparation prior to the actual planting of the plants. AGENDA ITEM – 1B MEMORANDUM Page 2 of 2 Once the plant materials arrive and are ready to be planted, we will need to coordinate this work. I anticipate the installation of the plant material will be done by a combination of residents, seasonal employees, and public works employees. Proposals for this work were solicited from multiple vendors (Attachment E) including Ramsey Conservation District, greenhouse and plant supply vendors, and an engineering firm. Vendors not used previously were chosen from a list provided by the Minnesota DNR of Native plant nurseries that listed rain garden design as a service. We received 2 proposals, neither of which were from greenhouse or plant material supply vendors. Responses to the RFP are included in Attachments F thru K. Table 1 below shows the vendors contacted and their response.

We have made a sketch of a possible layout of a rainwater garden on your property to give you an idea of where and what size we envision fitting into your yard. Additionally we have included information showing a typical crossection of the construction as well as possible planting plans. The planting plan will need to be customized to your site based on how much sun the garden location gets. We will be looking into this next. We would not plan on planting the gardens this year but focus on getting the grading, soil amendments and drainage inplace so that we can follow up with planting in 2016. We wanted to get these layouts to you as well as the samples of the planting plans so you can start thinking about any feedback you would like to share with us. I am more than happy to meet with you at your home to answer any questions you may have. My Contact information is as follows: John Anderson, Assistant City Engineer, at (651) 792-7846 or janderson@cityofardenhills.org.

Attached are sketches that were shown to residents last year before be built the rain gardens. Along with the construction last year we built the drainage and planting beds for the rain gardens as shown in the attached binder2.pdf file. We provided a letter to residents (file attached 4‐3‐15 RWG letter) describing the process and giving some example plantings. At this point we need to finalize the planting design and assemble an order of plant materials and get quotes on plant materials. Along the way we will need to communicate with residents our plant layout and get buy in from the residents on the plantings we are proposing. We are looking for a proposal from you to do the following: 1. Design a planting layout specific to each site (21 residential, 2 city) with thought given to how much shade and sun of each site sees as well as tolerance to occasional inundation of water for short durations (24 hrs would be a typical max). 2. Communicate this layout to the resident in a sketch accompanied with a letter and get agreement on the planting plan from the resident 3. Assemble a plant material list based on approved sketches 4. Get quotes from 3 plant suppliers for these materials 5. Organize plant materials to sort out which plans go with which garden the day of planting 6. Mark plantings in each garden the day of planting to assist public works / residents to plan If you can get back to me by Wed this week that would be great.

City of Arden Hills 1245 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112 RE: 2016 Rain Water Garden Plantings Dear Mr. Anderson: As you are aware we have provided the City assistance with design and construction administration on the 2015 Pavement Management Project (PMP) in the Noble/Grant and Venus/Crystal neighborhoods. Part of the project included the installation of rain water gardens to meet the stormwater treatment requirements of the Rice Creek Watershed District. We determined the volume of treatment required and worked with the City to provide that volume in two large gardens adjacent to the City’s trails and 21 small gardens in front of residential properties that combined meet the Watershed’s volume requirements. As you are aware, the construction of the rain water gardens was part of the 2015 PMP project, but the actual plantings were separate from the responsibilities of the street contractor. It is our understanding that assistance is desired for this next phase in completing the rain water gardens. You have made initial contact with residents to secure the garden locations, but due to work load have limited time to dedicate to the final steps in order to complete the process. The additional scope of services that we would provide as assistance to you and under your direction would include: • Providing residents with individual plant layouts • Meeting with residents as necessary to modify the design as desired • Obtaining quotes and ordering plant material • Assisting on a planting day or weekend to provide support on plant layout Based on this understanding of the proposed process and our discussion with you we estimate our fees at $8,900. We are prepared to assist as soon as directed and will work to begin contact with each resident. Please feel free to contact us directly at (763) 780-0450.

Principal City of Arden Hills Date AGENDA ITEM – 1C MEMORANDUM DATE: March 14, 2016 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Sue Iverson, Interim City Administrator/Director of Finance and Admin Services SUBJECT: City Logo Signage for Front Desk Background There have been several comments about the bare wall behind the front desk and we have been making an effort over the last few years to spruce up the appearance of the lobby at City Hall. We have gotten a suggestion that we add the City Logo to the bare wall behind the front desk. Discussion Staff has researched these options and has obtained a quote from FastSigns for a “36” x 48” repositionable Vinyl with laminate” in the amount of $140.50 plus tax. A proof copy is attached for your review. Since matching the wall color would be difficult, the attached copies do have an outline around the logo. The funds for this would come from the City Hall maintenance budget. Staff is looking for direction from Council if they would like staff to proceed with this. Attachments Attachment A: Proof copy of Sign Design AGENDA ITEM – 1D MEMORANDUM DATE: March 14, 2016 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Sue Iverson, Interim City Administrator/Director of Finance and Admin Services SUBJECT: Discussion of Sound Wall Logo Background One of the Council comments from the last meeting was about the ability to put logos on the sound walls as it was noticed that other communities have done this. Discussion Staff would like to have direction from the City Council as to whether they would like staff to pursue looking into this and what information they would like.
