REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Department Approval: DATE: 1 0/22/0 1 ITEM NO.: F-3 Agenda Section: Reports/Recommendations Item Description: Approve Wellington Management Cost Participation Agreement for Zimmerman Lake Drainage Improvement Proj ect Background: On 7uly 18, 2001, Council approved the feasibility report for the Zimmerman Lake Drainage Improvement Project. Since we are proposing to share in the cost of this project, it is necessary to ha�e an agreement laying out cost participation. The Zimmerman Lake Drainage Improvement will correct an identified regional flooding problem. The runoff that is flooding the CFL building as well as the intersection of Pascal/ Eldridge intersection is from 493 acres of land made up of residential, commercial and highway uses. Since the pipe was installed under Hwy 36 in the late 1950's, many properties ha�e been developed and redeveloped. This would contribute to the overall quantity of water from this subwatershed being conveyed to Zimmerman Lake. Due to the nature of this project it is best to construct it during the winter, the ground is frozen and the contractor does not ha�e to worry about delays from unexpected rainstorms. In order to get this project completed by spring thaw, it is critical that we put out ads for bid and award this project before the first of next year. In the feasibility report, we presented a cost share that included Falcon Heights, the University of Minnesota, Wellington Management/CFL, Mn/DOT and the City of Roseville. FalconHeights has declined participation in the solution. We are still working with the University on their cost participation. Staff recommends that due to timing we should move forward with a revised cost participation schedule. We will continue to work with the University and report to the Council if an agreement is reached. The City of Roseville will be the contracting agency for the project. Survey and inspection will be provided by Mn/DOT. We have received a commitment from Frank Paflco, Mn/ DOT Area manager to provide these services, total value $36,550. The agreement before you for Council Approval is with Wellington Management, the building owner. Financial Implications: The cost split assumes no participation from the University of Minnesota or Falcon Heights and uses the revised engineer's estimate to define total participation. Please see attached revised cost participation table. Policy objectives: This project has been developed in partnership with Mn/DOT and Wellington Management. By approving the attached agreement, the City will be able to receive Wellington Management's share of the project cost. RECOMP�NDED COUNCIL ACTION: Approve the Cost Participation Agreement for the Zimmerman Lake Drainage Improvement Project. Prepared by: Debra Bloom
