This item accepts the feasibility report for construction of the 2022 infrastructure project and calls for a

Mayor Hemken introduced for discussion Item 8.1, Resolution approving change  order no. 1 with T.A. Schifsky & Sons, Inc. for draintile improvements at Civic  Center Park as part of the Corner Park playground site work improvements  (Improvement Project No. 1055).    Mr. Dan Boyum, city engineer, stated the Civic Center playground was  constructed in 2012 and contains 160 feet of flexible draintile tubing. He explained  the city noticed past flooding in the playground container when the temporary  New Hope City Council  September 13, 2021  Page 3   road for Xylon Avenue was constructed, and during construction of the Civic  Center Park in 2019, flooding was also noticed. Mr. Boyum stated new solid wall  pvc draintile pipe was placed from the pool parking lot to the container in 2019.  During that process, it was discovered the existing draintile was plugged with  sand. He stated draintile intakes were placed at the end of the new solid wall pvc  draintile and at the inside edge of the container but since the draintile is not  functioning, water builds up to the intakes and engineered wood fiber is plugging  the intakes.    Mr. Boyum stated over the summer staff worked with the city engineer to propose  a solution for the failed draintile tubing system. A contract was awarded to T.A.  Schifsky & Sons this spring for playground site work at Corner Park. Part of the  contract included any necessary draintile work at Corner Park. This contractor  provided a quote to the city for installation of a new more durable draintile system  for Civic Center Park for $9,760. This work will include 280 feet of 4” solid wall  pvc draintile pipe, mobilization, excavation, geotextile fabric, piping, pea rock, and  cleanouts. He stated if the draintile does not completely resolve the drainage  issues, future improvements could include a 12” pipe, catchbasin, and  downstream separator (estimated cost of $37,121). At this time, staff recommends  approval of change order 1 for $9,760 with T.A. Schifsky & Sons for draintile work  at Civic Center Park. The Corner Park playground project is under budget, and the  change order will be paid by the Park Infrastructure Fund.    Council Member London recommended that testing be performed this fall after  improvements are completed instead of waiting for a large rain event. It was noted  that public works could open a fire hydrant or West Metro Fire could perform an  exercise with fire hoses to flood the area to check the drainage time of the  playground container.    RESOLUTION 2021‐85  Item 8.1  Council Member London introduced the following resolution and moved its  adoption: “RESOLUTION APPROVING CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 WITH T.A.  SCHIFSKY & SONS, INC. FOR DRAINTILE IMPROVEMENTS AT CIVIC  CENTER PARK AS PART OF THE CORNER PARK PLAYGROUND SITE  WORK IMPROVEMENTS (IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1055).” The motion  for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was seconded by Council Member  Isenberg, and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof:  Hemken, Elder, Hoffe, Isenberg, London; and the following voted against the  same: None; Abstained: None; Absent: None; whereupon the resolution was  declared duly passed and adopted, signed by the mayor which was attested to by  the city clerk.    2022 PRELIMINARY  HRA LEVY  Item 10.1  Mayor Hemken introduced for discussion Item 10.1, Resolution authorizing the  preliminary HRA levy for 2022.    Mr. Kirk McDonald, city manager, stated adoption of the resolution affirms the  Council’s support for the HRA levy in the amount of $417,000. He noted a primary  goal of the 2022 budget is to establish a long‐term stable plan for redevelopment  projects. He stated the city has the authority to adopt EDA and HRA levies. Mr.  McDonald pointed out many neighboring cities are adopting similar levies.  New Hope City Council  September 13, 2021  Page 4     Mr. McDonald explained at the August work session the majority of the Council  was supportive of a new HRA levy of $150,000. Since that time staff learned the  EDA levy must be included in the city’s general levy which has a negative impact  on the overall tax rate. He stated adjustments to the EDA and HRA levy amounts  are recommended while achieving the same total amount of $570,000 for  redevelopment purposes (EDA levy at $153,000 and HRA levy at $417,000).     He stated the EDA must also approve the HRA levy (EDA Item 4).    Council Member London recommended finding ways to reduce the general fund  budget to avoid the need for another levy to support the scattered site housing  program.    Mr. McDonald stated directors will be reviewing department budgets with  Council at the September 20 work session and enterprise funds will be reviewed  at the October 18 work session.     RESOLUTION 2021‐86  ITEM 10.1  Council Member Elder introduced the following resolution and moved its  adoption: “RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PRELIMINARY HRA LEVY  FOR 2022.” The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was seconded  by Council Member Hoffe, and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted  in favor thereof: Hemken, Elder, Hoffe, Isenberg; and the following voted against  the same: London; Abstained: None; Absent: None; whereupon the resolution was  declared duly passed and adopted, signed by the mayor which was attested to by  the city clerk.    2022 GENERAL FUND  BUDGET AND  PRELIMINARY  PROPERTY TAX LEVY  Item 10.2  Mayor Hemken introduced for discussion Item 10.2, Resolution approving 2022  proposed general fund budget and preliminary property tax levy, and setting  public hearing date for the 2022 budget and preliminary property tax levy.    Mayor Hemken introduced for discussion Item 10.2, Resolution approving 2022  proposed general fund budget and preliminary property tax levy, and setting  public hearing date for the 2022 budget and preliminary property tax levy.    Mr. Kirk McDonald, city manager, introduced Vicki Holthaus, a representative of  AEM Financial Solutions, LLC (the city’s financial consultant), to assist with the  budget presentation. He stated the City Council is asked to adopt the resolution  for the preliminary 2022 budget and to approve the maximum preliminary  property tax levy. He outlined the budget process and timeline for submission of  a preliminary and final tax levy to the county auditor. He stated a public comment  meeting is proposed for December 6, 2021.    Mr. McDonald reviewed past levies, local government aid and the impact on  equipment replacement funding for years 2019 to 2022. He also reviewed 2022  budget initiatives.    New Hope City Council  September 13, 2021  Page 5   Mr. McDonald stated the proposed 2021 general fund budget is $16,179,193, which  is an increase of $242,216, or 1.5% over the 2021 budget. He noted the major  changes in the budget include:    $281,056 to fund 3% increase in wages/benefits including Council salaries   $105,200 increase for IT charges   $65,859 increase in West Metro Fire‐Rescue District JPA   $50,000 increase for the Emerald Ash Borer Removal/Replacement Program on  public property   $39,000 for gubernatorial election/election judge wages   $315,454 decrease in central garage charges for leasing vehicles and street  department’s reduced equipment purchases   $130,000 decrease in building permit revenue as Windsor Ridge development  is nearly complete    Mr. McDonald stated the 2022 budget includes a 5% increase for street  infrastructure levy and a 5% increase for park infrastructure levy plus $500,000 to  assist with ice arena debt service and capital improvements. He pointed out the  tax rate in New Hope may be higher than comparable sized cities but New Hope  does not assess taxable properties for street improvements, as street and park  infrastructure improvements are paid through the general property tax levy.    Mr. McDonald reviewed the 2022 budget initiatives:   Continue to provide existing services/programs with current resources.   Utilize LGA in the general fund to help fund equipment replacement savings

$18,231,011, which is a 4.67% increase.     She explained the estimated overall impact of the city tax levy on residential  properties ranges from $57 to $180 per year for market values between $150,000 to  $400,000.    Ms. Holthaus reported on 2021 legislative session impacts:  • No levy limits  •

Council Member London called attention to the meeting held with Three Rivers Park  District. He noted the bike path through Northwood and asked if Three Rivers shared

By: Tim Hoyt, Director of Police    Agenda Title  Resolution proclaiming October 10‐16, 2021, as Police Week in the city of New Hope.  Requested Action  Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution proclaiming October 10‐16, 2021, as Police Week  in the city of New Hope, to correspond with National Police Week events being held in Washington, DC, as  this was rescheduled from May 11‐16, 2021, due to the on‐going COVID‐19 pandemic.     Policy/Past Practice  The city recognizes the importance of law enforcement in maintaining a safe and secure community, and  understands that law enforcement officers sometimes make the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of their  duties.  Background  Police officers routinely face risks on behalf of the community.  All too often, a police officer makes the  ultimate sacrifice, the forfeiture of their life, in the performance of their duty to protect the community which  they serve.  The challenges facing law enforcement professionals grow every day.  Domestic and  international terrorism, unheard of only a few years ago, as well as planning for pandemics have increased  the demands on the law enforcement community.      Over 800,000 sworn law enforcement officers serve in the United States.  Being a professional law  enforcement officer is an inherently risky occupation.  On average over the past ten years, one officer was  killed every 54 hours.  More than 58,866 officers are assaulted each year resulting in 18,005 injuries.     On May 17, 1792, Deputy Sheriff Isaac Smith, New York City Sheriff’s Office became the first known law  enforcement officer to die in the line of duty in our nation’s history. Currently, there are 22,611 federal, state,  and local law enforcement officers names engraved on the walls of the National Law Enforcement Memorial.   This year, the names of over 394 officers killed in the line of duty will be added to the wall.  At the current  rate names are added, the Memorial Walls are expected to be filled by 2050.     The health crisis that our nation, and world, is currently facing has resulted in the rescheduling of public  gatherings in Washington, DC.  The organizers made the difficult but necessary decision, due to the ongoing  pandemic, to postpone the in‐person events of National Police Week to October 13‐17, 2021, in Washington,  D.C. However, on May 13, 2020, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern, officers marched forward in solidarity with a virtual  candlelight vigil and the reading of the names that could be watched from anywhere in the world.    Attachment   Resolution    Agenda Section Consent Item Number  6.4  City of New Hope

WHEREAS The on‐going global COVID‐19 pandemic caused government officials to postpone  National Police Week and Peace Officers’ Memorial Day events until October 13‐17; and    WHEREAS the law enforcement officers of New Hope are our guardians of life, property, rights  and freedoms; defenders of an individual’s right to be free; warriors in the war  against crime; and dedicated to the preservation of life, liberty, and the pursuit of  happiness; and    WHEREAS it is important that all citizens know and understand the duties, responsibilities,  hazards, and sacrifices of their law enforcement agency, and that members of our  law enforcement agency recognize their duty to serve the people by safeguarding life

accept the feasibility report on 2022 Infrastructure Improvements Project and calls for a public hearing  on October 25 to consider ordering project.    Policy/Past Practice  The City Council routinely considers public infrastructure improvement projects to extend the useful life of the  infrastructure and/or improve the level of service. The city’s pavement management plan identifies these areas  in the street infrastructure projects portion of the plan.    Background  The general location of the potential 2022 project includes streets in the Liberty Park neighborhood, as shown  on the attached project map. Streets included in the project were recommended based upon pavement  conditions identified in the 2019 pavement management plan as well as underlying utility condition.     The improvements identified include utility replacement on Independence Avenue North as well as the mill  and overlay or reclaim and overlay of 1.06 miles of pavement. The type of improvement required is  determined by the existing condition of the pavement, road subgrade as well as the condition of the  underlying utilities. In general, roads identified for a mill and overlay (shown in salmon on the attached  project map) were selected due to pavement condition and suitable depth of existing bituminous based on the  preliminary geotechnical study.  The only proposed reclaim and overlay street is located at the utility  replacement area (shown in light blue on the attached project map).     Utility improvements on the mill and overlay streets will include the replacement of the sanitary sewer  manhole lids to reduce inflow and infiltration. The feasibility report also recommends the replacement of the  water main located along Bass Lake Road (CSAH 10) and adjacent to the TH 169 NB entrance ramp and  reconnects at the dead end of Independence. This section of water main has a history of failing pipe to the  extent that this loop has been discontinued to be used due to this section’s poor condition and difficult location  to access for repairs.  Trenchless watermain construction via directional drill and/or pipe bursting methods  will be used for replacement of the watermain along Bass Lake Road.  Also, because of the number of  watermain breaks along Independence, that watermain will be replaced with this project.      In addition to water and sanitary sewer repairs, there are two areas of storm sewer repair and replacement  identified in the report. Those locations are at the dead end of Independence and the hammerhead at the north  end of Independence Avenue North. Both of these areas have shown a history of flooding and lack of drainage  due to the poor condition of the existing storm structures. The other storm sewer improvement is a proposed  filtration trench located along 60th Avenue North along Liberty Park.  Agenda Section

The project generally consists of street and utility improvements north of Bass Lake Road in the Liberty west neighborhood (see location map in the feasibility report). The estimated total project cost for the street, water main, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer improvements, including contingencies and indirect costs, is approximately $2.05 million as shown below. Project Cost Summary Item Construction Contingencies (10%)Indirect (20%)Project Costs Mill and Overlay $466,741.85 $46,674.19 $102,683.21 $616,099.24 Reclaim and Overlay $131,085.00 $13,108.50 $28,838.70 $173,032.20 Subtotal - Street $597,826.85 $59,782.69 $131,521.91 $789,131.44 Water Main $807,735.83 $80,773.58 $177,701.88 $1,066,211.30 Sanitary Sewer $63,840.00 $6,384.00 $14,044.80 $84,268.80 Storm Water $83,680.00 $8,368.00 $18,409.60 $110,457.60 Total $1,553,082.68 $155,308.27 $341,678.19 $2,050,069.14 This compares to the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) estimate of $2.079 million as shown in the table below. The estimated project costs for Water and Sanitary are under the CIP Budget, but the estimated project costs for Street and Storm Water are higher than the CIP Budget.

Also, due to the watermain repairs on Independence, this street will be reclaimed versus milled and overlayed. ·some of the storm sewer improvements included in the study were not included in the original scope of storm sewer work initially proposed with the CIP. After review of the Feasibility Report, it is recommended that the Council adopt a resolution accepting the Feasibility Report and calling for a Public Hearing to consider ordering the project. The Public Hearing be conducted at the October 25, 2021 Council Meeting. It is recommended a summary of the project scope be presented at the hearing along with the proposed assessment roll. Using cost estimates prepared for the report, assessment amounts were calculated for assessable properties within the project area. The assessable property and corresponding estimated assessment are shown in the table below: Owner Address Assessment Amount 2 City of New Hope (Liberty Park)9015 60th Avenue North $6,463.88 Total $6,463.88 September 22, 2021 Mr. Bernie Weber Page 3 of 3 Reference:2022 Infrastructure Improvements – Presentation of Feasibility Report If Council accepts the information presented and chooses to move forward with this project after the Public Hearing, we then recommend that the Council approves a resolution ordering the construction of and preparation of plans and specifications for the 2022 Infrastructure Improvements at the October 25, 2021 meeting. Bids would be received on or around February 2022, construction work done in 2022, and substantial completion of the project in Fall 2022 with final completion in Spring/Summer 2023. A notice has been sent to neighbors along the project area to make them aware of the feasibility report discussion on September 27, 2021 Council Meeting. Neighborhood meetings are typically held if project streets are proposed for reconstruction. Since no streets are planned for reconstruction, a formal neighborhood meeting is not being proposed for this project at this time. An informal on-site walk-though has been discussed along Independence as the watermain utility replacement and reclamation of the street will be more disruptive. We have found having a conversation on the street with residents has been a productive means to communicate with those residents.

The general location of the work includes streets located east of TH 169 and north of Bass Lake Road (CSAH 10) in the Liberty Park West neighborhood. Streets included in the project were recommended based upon the current condition of the pavement and underlying utilities. The improvements identified include utility replacement on Independence Avenue North and along Bass Lake Road, as well as the continued focus on a more aggressive pavement management strategy to improve the driving surface of more streets utilizing overlays and reclamation. This pavement management philosophy will provide for quicker street improvements and will allow the utility funds to build for future full reconstruction. The new overlays and reclaim streets will improve the quality of life, increase the aesthetic value, and increase the safety of the roadways. The finding of this report will be presented and discussed at the September 27, 2021, Council meeting. Respectfully submitted, STANTEC CONSULTING SERVICES, INC. Dan D. Boyum, P.E.

INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to investigate the feasibility of performing improvements to reconstruct/rehabilitate existing local streets and local utilities within the proposed project area shown on Figure 1. HISTORY In order to improve the overall quality of its local infrastructure system, the City of New Hope continues with a more aggressive pavement management philosophy to improve the existing driving surface and extend the pavement life of its streets. As the road conditions and Pavement Rating Index’s (PRI’s) continued to decline, it was apparent the City was not keeping up with street rehabilitations. The Pavement Management Plan continued to fall behind, and a more aggressive approach to pavement management was agreed upon by the City Council in May of 2014. Interim overlays will be utilized to add structural integrity to the existing street sections. Full reconstruction of the streets is to be completed with streets showing significant roadway subgrade and drainage issues, as well as those having a significant amount of utility issues. Utility rehabilitation on the overlay streets will be limited in efforts to build up water and other utility funds. The pavement management strategy will improve the driving surface and will provide the ability to improve more streets. The new overlays will improve the quality of life, increase the aesthetic value, and increase the safety of the roadways. SCOPE OF STUDY The purpose of this report is to provide the feasibility of the utility improvements and a total of approximately 1.26 miles of mill and overlay and reclaim and overlay street improvements. The type of improvement required will be determined by the existing condition of the pavement, roadway subgrade, as well as the condition of the underlying utilities. For each type of improvement, costs and funding will be evaluated. The report breaks down the project into logical sections to allow for reduction in scope, if desired, at the time of deciding if the project should move forward into the design stage.

City records have been reviewed and field inspections were performed on the structures and pipes to identify warranted storm sewer and sanitary sewer improvement work in the project area. Overall, the condition of the existing storm and sanitary systems in the mill and overlay segments is fair. Several deteriorating storm structures and specific sanitary pipe issues have been identified. The streets in the project area were rated in Fall of 2019 and Spring 2020 based on the City’s Pavement Ratings Index (PRI). The index ranges from 0-100 and assigns a value to each street segment based on the visual condition of the pavement. In general, a low PRI indicates a roadway that is failing structurally, while a higher value indicates a segment in good condition. The table below is a summary of the PRI ratings for the project area. TABLE 1 –PAVEMENT RATING INDEX (PRI)SUMMARY PRI Range Rating Description Length in Feet Length in Miles 0-20 Failing 0 0 21-40 Very Poor 0 0 41-60 Poor 2,000 0.38 61-80 Good 4,675 0.88 81-100 Excellent 0 0 Totals 6,675 1.26 AVERAGE PRI = 67 Figure 2 shows the pavement ratings for each street within this project area. In addition to the PRI ratings, soil borings and ground penetrating radar have been completed to assist us in further understanding the existing street section characteristics. Figure 3 identifies the locations and limits of this field exploration. Final data and the accompanying reports have been received and generally support the identified street improvements proposed in this report. Many of the past infrastructure projects identified Petromat material within some of the existing pavement sections. Petromat is a fabric material that was placed between the layers of bituminous pavement as an interim improvement to provide strength in the street and reduce cracking. No Petromat was discovered within the project streets. The Pavement and Geotechnical Evaluation Report, completed by Braun Intertec dated September 15, 2021 is included in Appendix C of this report.

Two different potential street improvement methods have been identified for this project. The typical proposed street sections corresponding to the proposed improvements are shown on Figure 5. The rehabilitation methods were generally chosen based on the following criteria: ·Full Depth Reclamation o Poor street and underlying base conditions that cannot be significantly improved by mill & overlay o Very poor PRI rating – failing base and wear course pavement o Limited or lesser amount of water main breaks than full reconstruct streets o Additional storm sewer required ·Mill and Overlay o Poor street conditions of which can have an effective benefit with a mill and overlay o Average PRI rating o Limited or lesser amount of water breaks than full reconstruct streets o Minimal utility improvements required Miscellaneous Boulevards disturbed by construction in all areas will be graded, shaped, and restored. If driveways are disturbed during construction, they will be patched to match the existing driveway material. All traffic signs within the project limits will be replaced, as signs and posts will continue to be updated to meet current code and sign retro-reflectivity standards. Streetlight replacement or upgrades are not planned with this project, and costs are not included in this report. FULL-DEPTH RECLAMATION Full-depth reclamation (or Reclaim and Overlay) consists of grinding up the entire pavement section and mixing it with the underlying aggregate base, creating a homogeneous roadway base. This material is then shaped, compacted, and excess material is hauled away. A new, 3-inch lift of bituminous wear pavement is then placed over the entire roadway. Curb replacement will be completed on areas with severe damage or poor drainage prior to paving, and spot patching will be completed on any areas with soft subgrade soils. There will be some improvements to the existing storm sewer system as well. Table 3 below summarizes the areas identified to be reclaimed.

The full width mill and overlay increases structural strength of the road. Curb replacement will be completed on areas of severely damaged or poorly draining curb prior to paving. Spot patching will be completed on any severely cracked or failing pavement prior to the new bituminous overlay. The following streets are recommended to be rehabilitated with a full width mill and overlay.

This technique consists of milling off the upper portion of bituminous on only the outer 6’ of each side of the roadway and is generally utilized in areas of poor drainage when the existing roadway crown is too low. Given that there do not appear to be poorly drained areas as a result of a low centerline crown, as well as some poor overall pavement conditions across the entire width of the roadway, a full width mill and overlay is recommended on all the identified segments for this project.

The policy outlined the city’s commitment to consider the safety and functionality of streets for people of all ages and abilities, and for various modes of transportation. Examples of modes of transportation include walking, biking, wheelchairs, public transit, and automotive. In accordance with the policy, a Complete Streets network has been reviewed with this project. While streets will be further reviewed during the design phase for all street improvement areas, it is not anticipated that any trails, sidewalks, bike lanes, or other complete streets elements will be incorporated into this project area. All the streets are local streets which currently do not have any of these elements and are not designated to have them within the City’s comprehensive plan. City of New Hope Stantec Project No: 193805342 2022 Infrastructure Improvements Page 17 CITY OF NEW HOPE – 2022 INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT WATER MAIN IMPROVEMENTS The water main on the street segments identified in this report is made of cast iron pipe (CIP). Historically, the CIP water main throughout the city has been a significant maintenance issue. Numerous breaks have occurred over the years, causing considerable inconvenience to residents and maintenance cost to the city. Figure 4 shows the history of water main breaks throughout the project area. Full Depth Reclamation (or Reclaim and Overlay) These proposed water main improvements can be seen in Figure 6 and are located on Independence Avenue North between south of 59th Avenue North and then north to the west end of the road. In this area, the number of consecutive breaks is driving the replacement of the watermain in this area. Being the street improvement type will remain reclaim & overlay, services and curb stops will not be replaced. Each service saddle and corporation stop will be replaced at the new PVC main and reconnect to the service next to the main. Replacement of the watermain in this area will include new hydrants and gate valves. Any breaks that may occur in the future will require repair and patching of the roadway. The primary goal of the reclaim and overlay improvements is to improve underlying base and driving surface and not spend funds on utility replacement until the scheduled reconstruction of these streets. Bass Lake Road (CSAH 10) and Freeway Ramp Area These proposed water main improvements can be seen in Figure 6 and are located along Bass Lake Road (CSAH 10) and adjacent to the Freeway Ramp onto Highway 169. The City has experienced past issues with valves along this line. Due to the age of the line (originally constructed in 1964), location next to existing utility lines, and difficulty in trying to repair within the county and state right of way areas, staff is recommending replacement of the line by trenchless methods. A combination of directional drilling and pipe bursting is being proposed at this time. These trenchless methods will be further evaluated during design. Pipe bursting was recently done with the watermain replacement work on Winnetka Avenue North in 2020. Replacement of the watermain in this area will include new hydrants and gate valves. The services in this area are commercial lines, and those will be reconnected with the proposed improvements.

No other spot repairs will be required in the mill and overlay or reclaim and overlay areas based on current televising reports, which will be verified during final design. All manhole covers within the project area that have open pick holes are proposed to be replaced with covers with concealed pick holes. This will remove any unnecessary inflow into the sanitary sewer system through those openings. All existing manholes covers with potential inflow are identified on Figure 7. All costs associated to removing inflow and infiltration can be credited to Metropolitan Council I/I (Inflow/Infiltration) Excess Surcharge amounts.

Some cost has been allocated to remove and replace a few storm sewer casting, frame and rings for structures that may be in critical structural condition. Further review of storm sewer structure conditions will be done during design. In addition, existing storm structures at the south and west ends of Independence Avenue North will be removed and replaced due to past review of their condition. The impact of these improvements to the surrounding areas is minimal, and it is recommended to complete these improvements with this project. During the design phase of this project, additional localized drainage issues may be reviewed to be completed within this project or added to a future backyard drainage project. Figure 8 identifies storm sewer structures within the project area with the proposed storm improvements. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT This project lies within the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission (SCWMC). As a linear redevelopment project that will not increase impervious surface amounts, storm water quality and quantity requirements do not apply. Although, as there is no current storm water treatment or volume control with the existing street conditions, it is planned to incorporate storm water best management practices such as the iron enhanced sand filter trenches as described below. Iron Enhanced Sand Filter Trench Iron enhanced sand filter trenches provide for underground filtration of rainwater prior to entering the ground or storm water system. Structures within the curb would direct runoff from the roadway into areas of filtration media that is mixed with iron. The iron removes dissolved constituents, including phosphate, from the storm water. Drain tile will eventually collect filtered or excess runoff and direct it to the storm sewer system. An iron enhanced sand filter trench is proposed to be installed along 60th Avenue North in the boulevard area behind the curb next to Liberty Park. This potential location is shown on Figure 8. This location will be finalized during design based on several factors including construction impacts to the park, existing utilities, and drainage areas. Rain Gardens Rain gardens provide for a natural filtration and storage area for rainwater prior to entering the ground or the storm sewer system. This natural process helps to filter out pollutants that are washed from streets and lawns with rainwater. Rain gardens also reduce peak flows during storm events. Potential locations for rain gardens will be identified during the design process. The criteria used in determining the potential rain garden locations include the following: City of New Hope Stantec Project No: 193805342 2022 Infrastructure Improvements Page 22 ·Catch basin, existing water body, or drain tile near proposed location to allow discharge from the rain garden drain tile. ·Existing slopes allowing for a rain garden without the need to install a retaining wall. ·Existing space acceptable for a rain garden (some locations may be limited by existing sidewalks, mature trees, or right of way constraints). Property owners that indicate a desire to have a rain garden will be contacted, and the area analyzed to determine if a rain garden option will work at a given location during the design phase. Storm Sump Structures Storm Sump structures are storm structures that allow for separation of sediments by having a reservoir that holds the storm water before out letting to the remainder of the storm system. Sump structures are planned to be installed in the new structures discussed above along Independence Avenue North. There are several requirements set forth in the City of New Hope’s Local Water Management Plan (LWMP) that this project must adhere to. These include the following: ·Use a 10-year rainfall event as the minimum criteria for all storm water conveyance facility designs. ·Establish and maintain overflow routes from storm water basins and low areas to provide relief during storm conditions which exceed design conditions, where possible.

ALTERNATES DISCUSSION This report breaks down the project into logical sections to allow for reduction in scope, if desired, at the time of deciding if the project should move forward into the design stage. As the estimated costs are higher and lower than the original Capital Improvement Plan 2022 Budget, we will work with Staff to identify logical adjustments. For example, because there are street restoration costs tied to the watermain improvements and since watermain costs are coming in under budget at this time, some of those street restoration costs could be associated with watermain improvements.

Introduction A.1. Project Description This Pavement and Geotechnical Evaluation Report addresses the City of New Hope’s 2022 Infrastructure Improvement Projects. The streets included total approximately 1.3 miles in length and have a bituminous surface. The project includes 2-inch mill-and-overlays, as well as some watermain replacement work. It was requested that we perform Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), pavement cores and hand auger borings and two soil borings. Table 1 provides additional project details. Table 1. Site Aspects and Grading Description Aspect Description Pavement type(s) Bituminous Assumed pavement loads 100,000 ESALs* Grade changes Given the presence of curb and gutter, we assume existing grades will be met *Equivalent 18,000-lb single axle loads based on 20-year design. A.2. Purpose The purpose of our pavement and geotechnical evaluation will be to determine in-place pavement layer thicknesses and characterize subsurface geologic conditions at selected explorations for use in assessing the planned repairs. A.3. Background Information and Reference Documents We reviewed the following information: ▪ Sketch indicating the streets to be tested and recommended exploration locations, as provided by Stantec. City of New Hope Project B2107447 September 15, 2021 Page 2 ▪ Aerial Maps available from Google Earth®. ▪ USDA Websoil survey of Hennepin County. We have described our understanding of the proposed construction and site to the extent others reported it to us. Depending on the extent of available information, we may have made assumptions based on our experience with similar projects. If we have not correctly recorded or interpreted the project details, the project team should notify us. New or changed information could require additional evaluation, analyses and/or recommendations. A.4. Scope of Services We performed our scope of services for the project in accordance with our Proposal QTB143585 to Mr. Bernie Weber, dated August 2, 2021, and authorized on August 9, 2021. The following list describes the tasks completed in accordance with our authorized scope of services. ▪ Estimating pavement thickness data on each street in a single direction of travel with an air- coupled Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). ▪ Conducting nine bituminous pavement cores and hand auger borings on the streets, noting their conditions and measuring their thicknesses. ▪ Performing two soil borings in the area near Bass Lake Road and Highway 169. ▪ Preparing this report containing our findings and recommendations for pavement rehabilitation. B. Results B.1. GPR Testing GPR was used to approximate pavement layer thicknesses along the streets. The data was collected at a nominal 1-foot interval. Where “ground truth” data (pavement coring and hand auger borings) were performed, the interpreted layers from the GPR scan were compared directly to the measured thicknesses to validate the accuracy of the GPR analysis. City of New Hope Project B2107447 September 15, 2021 Page 3 Based on our analysis using the RADAN software program, the average pavement layer thicknesses are provided in the matrix include in Appendix F. Appendix C provides the GPR data in graphical form. We highly recommend referring to Appendix C to see how thicknesses vary along each street. B.2. Pavement Core and Hand Auger Boring Results On streets planned for mill-and-overlay, we performed a total of nine pavement core and hand auger borings. All explorations were performed within drive lanes at locations initially recommended by Stantec. Following analysis of the GPR data, Braun Intertec revised a few of the locations based on the preliminary GPR results. A final map of exploration locations is provided in Appendix B and photographs of the pavement cores are provided in Appendix D. Information from the cores and hand auger borings was used to obtain/validate GPR pavement layer thicknesses for the bituminous and aggregate base layers, if present, as well as to assess bituminous material conditions. Results are provided in the matrix provided in Appendix F. It should be noted that we did not perform gradation analysis on the apparent aggregate base material encountered as part of the pavement section, in accordance with our scope of work. Therefore, we cannot conclusively determine if the encountered material satisfies a particular specification. Bituminous core thicknesses ranged from about 4 to 6 inches, with the exception of Core C-3, which was performed on Hillsboro Avenue between Hillsboro Circle and 60th Avenue NW. That core, Core C-3, encountered 9 1/2 inches of bituminous. Multiple layers were visible within the GPR scan for Hillsboro Avenue and there was a visible layer between about 8 to 9 1/2 inches throughout the scan. To confirm whether this thicker bituminous section exists along the entire section or was some type of localized repair, additional explorations would need to be performed. Regardless, it appears there is sufficient material to perform the planned repair. As noted in the matrix, none of the pavement cores encountered Petromat™ paving fabric, which has been placed on some of the City’s streets to help slow the progression of reflective cracking. Also noted is whether or not stripping was observed within the pavement core. Stripping is the deterioration of the asphalt/aggregate bond in a bituminous pavement due to the presence of moisture. Stripping often begins at the bottom of the bituminous layer, where it may be in contact with saturated aggregate or soil, and proceeds upward. City of New Hope Project B2107447 September 15, 2021 Page 4 On Hillsboro Avenue, separation and stripping was observed in Cores C-2 and C-3 near the pavement surface. Milling to a depth of 2-inches will eliminate this stripping material, however, further testing would need to be performed to determine the cause. Low-severity stripping is common in bituminous pavements over time. However, those that have stripped to moderate to severe degrees would typically not be considered for rehabilitation methods that may leave any damaged portion of the pavement in place, such as mill-and-overlay. B.3. Boring Results Based on our discussion, we understand the City is planning to install new watermain along Bass Lake Road and Highway 169 entrance ramp, near the locations of Borings HAB-1 and ST-2. To install the watermain, it is planned that directional drilling will be performed. The intent of the borings was to determine inplace soils and note depth of groundwater, if encountered, in preparation of the planned drilling. Table 2 provides a summary of the soil boring results, in the general order we encountered the strata. Please refer to the Log of Boring sheets in Appendix E for additional details. The Descriptive Terminology sheet in Appendix E includes definitions of abbreviations used in Table 2. It should be noted that the location of ST-2 was not conducive to a truck-mounted drill rig. As such, a hand auger boring was performed at that location. Given the materials encountered, which were reasonably stiff clays, we were able to extend that boring manually to a depth of about 7 feet below ground surface elevations. As noted on the boring logs and in the table below, below the silty sand fill, both borings encountered glacial deposits consisting of sandy lean clay with gravel. In additional to gravel, glacially deposited soils can often cobbles and/or boulders. Although not encountered by our borings, cobbles and boulders can be detrimental to directional drilling operations. It is possible that these materials may be encountered during directional drilling. City of New Hope Project B2107447 September 15, 2021 Page 5 Table 2. Subsurface Profile Summary Strata Soil Type - ASTM Classification Range of Penetration Resistances Commentary and Details Topsoil fill SM ▪ Thicknesses at boring locations varied from about 3/4 foot to 1 foot. ▪ Soils were dark brown in color. ▪ Moisture conditions were moist. Fill SM ▪ Thicknesses at boring locations varied from about 1 to 4 feet. ▪ Soils were dark brown in color. ▪ Moisture conditions were moist. Glacial deposits CL 7 to 16 Blows per Foot (BPF) ▪ Encountered below the topsoil and fill soils and extended to the termination depth. ▪ Soils were light brown and brown in color with rust staining. ▪ Moisture conditions were moist. For simplicity in this report, we define existing fill to mean existing, uncontrolled or undocumented fill. B.4. Groundwater We did not observe groundwater while advancing our borings. Therefore, it appears that groundwater is below the depths explored. Project planning should anticipate seasonal and annual fluctuations of groundwater. B.5. Laboratory Test Results Table 3 presents the results of our laboratory tests. Table 3. Laboratory Classification Test Results Location Sample Depth (ft) Classification Moisture Content (w, %) Percent Passing a #200 Sieve ST-2 2 1/2 SM 12 26 ST-2 5 SM 14 39 City of New Hope Project B2107447 September 15, 2021 Page 6 The moisture content of the silty sands varied from approximately 12 to 14 percent, indicating that the materials tested were near their probable optimum moisture content. Our mechanical analyses indicated that the soils contained 26 to 39 percent silt and clay by weight. C. Recommendations C.1. Mill-and-Overlay As depicted on the map provided in Appendix A, we understand that the planned repair for the streets includes a 2-inch mill-and-overlay. Some watermain replacement work will also be performed. With a mill-and-overlay repair approach, we assume reflective cracking may occur quickly. To slow the progression of reflective cracking, the City could consider a sealing milled surfaces prior to the placement of the overlay. Furthermore, where possible, deeper mill depths will provide additional benefit to the mill-and-overlay approach by helping to prolong reflective cracking. We recommend a mix consisting of SPWEA240C. C.2. Utilities C.2.a. Excavation Oversizing When removing unsuitable materials below utilities or pavements, we recommend extending the excavation outward and downward at a slope of 1H:1V (horizontal:vertical) or flatter. C.2.b. Subgrade Stabilization We anticipate the soils at typical invert elevations will generally be suitable for utility support. However, if construction encounters unfavorable conditions such as soft clay, organic soils or perched water at invert grades, the unsuitable soils may require some additional subcutting and replacement with sand or crushed rock to prepare a proper subgrade for pipe support. If these unsuitable or unstable soils remain in place, there is a risk of excessive settlement of the utility pipe or structures due to consolidation of the underlying soft clay soils. If crushed rock is used as pipe bedding, we recommend wrapping the aggregate in geotextile fabric to prevent the migration of fine-grained materials into the voids of the aggregate. City of New Hope Project B2107447 September 15, 2021 Page 7 We recommend a geotechnical engineer observe all utility trench excavations and subcuts. C.2.c. Excavated Slopes The on-site soils mostly appear to consist of soils meeting OSHA Type B requirements. In accordance with OSHA requirements, we recommend excavation side slopes be constructed to lie back at a slope of 1V:1H or flatter. However, in organic soils, or where saturated soils are present (including saturated sand seams), excavation side slopes may need to lie back at slopes of 1V:5H or flatter to prevent sloughing. All excavations must comply with the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR, Part 1926, Subpart P, “Excavations and Trenches.” This document states that excavation safety is the responsibility of the contractor. Reference to these OSHA requirements should be included in the project specifications. C.2.d. Corrosion Potential Based on our experience, the soils encountered within the borings are moderately corrosive to metallic conduits. We recommend specifying non-corrosive materials or providing corrosion protection, unless project planning chooses to perform additional tests to demonstrate the soils are not corrosive. D. Procedures D.1. Ground Penetrating Radar D.1.a. GPR Data Collection GPR data was collected on August 25, 2021. GPR collection occurred at posted speed limits and data was recorded continuously along the streets to a depth of up to 2 feet. Analysis of this data provides a continuous estimate of layer thickness for identifiable layers. Scans of the pavement were collected according to GSSI, Inc. (manufacturer) SIR-20 processor settings at a specified interval of approximately one scan per lineal foot in the outer wheel path in a single travel direction. A calibration file, required for data post-processing, was collected at the onset of testing. Distance along the roadway is measured using a Distance Measuring Instrument (DMI). City of New Hope Project B2107447 September 15, 2021 Page 8 D.1.b. GPR Analysis Data collected by the GPR unit was returned to our office and analyzed to estimate the pavement thickness. Pavement layer interpretation was accomplished using RADAN 7.0, a software package included with the GSSI RoadScan system. The software includes tools to aid in delineating pavement layer transitions and automatically calculates their depths from the pavement surface using the calibration file(s) collected prior to or following testing. Where “ground-truth” data (pavement cores and hand auger borings) were performed, the interpreted layers from the GPR scan were compared directly to the measured thicknesses from the pavement cores and hand auger borings to validate the accuracy of the GPR analysis. D.2. Pavement Coring and Hand Auger Borings Pavement coring and hand auger borings were performed on August 28, 2020. Explorations were conducted within drive lanes using a 4-inch core barrel. The bituminous pavement was repaired with a cold-mix bituminous patch immediately after coring. The cores were measured to obtain approximate bituminous thickness and their material conditions were noted based on visual observation. Images of the cores can be found in the Core Photo Log attached to this report in Appendix D. D.3. Penetration Test Borings We drilled the penetration test borings with a truck-mounted core and auger drill equipped with hollow- stem auger. We performed the borings in general accordance with ASTM D6151 taking penetration test samples at 2 1/2-foot intervals in general accordance to ASTM D1586. The boring logs show the actual sample intervals and corresponding depths. We also collected bulk samples of auger cuttings at selected locations for laboratory testing. City of New Hope Project B2107447 September 15, 2021 Page 9 D.4. Manual Exploration D.4.a. Hand Auger Borings As previously noted, a hand auger boring was performed. We were able to extend the hand auger boring to a depth of about 7 feet below subgrade elevations. We then withdrew the auger from the borehole to obtain cuttings. D.5. Exploration Logs D.5.a. Log of Boring Sheets The Appendix includes Log of Boring sheets for our penetration test borings. The logs identify and describe the penetrated geologic materials, and present the results of penetration resistance and other in-situ tests performed. The logs also present the results of laboratory tests performed on penetration test samples and groundwater measurements. We inferred strata boundaries from changes in the penetration test samples and the auger cuttings. Because we did not perform continuous sampling, the strata boundary depths are only approximate. The boundary depths likely vary away from the boring locations, and the boundaries themselves may occur as gradual rather than abrupt transitions. D.5.b. Geologic Origins We assigned geologic origins to the materials shown on the logs and referenced within this report, based on: (1) a review of the background information and reference documents cited above, (2) visual classification of the various geologic material samples retrieved during the course of our subsurface exploration, (3) penetration resistance and other in-situ testing performed for the project, (4) laboratory test results, and (5) available common knowledge of the geologic processes and environments that have impacted the site and surrounding area in the past. D.6. Material Classification and Testing D.6.a. Visual and Manual Classification We visually and manually classified the geologic materials encountered based on ASTM D2488. When we performed laboratory classification tests, we used the results to classify the geologic materials in accordance with ASTM D2487. The Appendix includes a chart explaining the classification system we used. City of New Hope Project B2107447 September 15, 2021 Page 10 D.6.b. Laboratory Testing The exploration logs in the Appendix note most of the results of the laboratory tests performed on geologic material samples. The remaining laboratory test results follow the exploration logs. We performed the tests in general accordance with ASTM or AASHTO procedures. D.7. Groundwater Measurements The drillers checked for groundwater while advancing the penetration test borings, and again after auger withdrawal. We then filled the boreholes, as noted on the boring logs. E. Qualifications E.1. Continuity of Professional Responsibility E.1.a. Plan Review We based this report on a limited amount of information, and we made a number of assumptions to help us develop our recommendations. We should be retained to review the geotechnical aspects of the designs and specifications. This review will allow us to evaluate whether we anticipated the design correctly, if any design changes affect the validity of our recommendations, and if the design and specifications correctly interpret and implement our recommendations. E.1.b. Construction Observations and Testing We recommend retaining us to perform the required observations and testing during construction as part of the ongoing geotechnical evaluation. This will allow us to correlate the subsurface conditions exposed during construction with those encountered by the borings and provide professional continuity from the design phase to the construction phase. If we do not perform observations and testing during construction, it becomes the responsibility of others to validate the assumption made during the preparation of this report and to accept the construction-related geotechnical engineer-of-record responsibilities.

NEW EQUIPMENT FOR RENT PROGRAM If requested on the Price Schedule, the Contractor may offer new equipment for rent if the equipment is the same make and model on contract. The Contractor agrees to accept a State agency or CPV member purchase order and will not require the State agency or CPV member to sign a rental agreement. The Contractor retains the title of the equipment during the rental term. The Contractor will provide the Customer with the make, model and VIN number and equipment replacement value prior to delivery. State agencies will provide the Contractor with proof of property insurance on the equipment during the rental term. CPV members should follow their local requirements for property insurance on un-owned equipment. If approved by the Contractor, the routine and daily maintenance will be performed by the Customer as defined and required according to the Original Equipment Operator’s (OEM) manual, as long as doing so does not void the OEM’s warranty. Oil and lube changes will be accomplished by the Customer at the required intervals as stated in the OEM manual. All oil and filters must be provided by the Contractor during the rental term. If the Contractor does not approve the Customer for routine and daily maintenance, the Contractor must make the arrangements and bear all costs for the routine and daily maintenance including any equipment moves from or to the Customer location. The customer will not be responsible and will not pay any rental costs when the equipment is non-operational or away from their site for repairs or routine maintenance. During the rental term, any warranty repairs needed due to OEM warranty requirements or equipment failures will be the responsibility of the Contractor including all transportation and costs. The location of where the repairs will occur will be mutually agreed by the Customer and the Contractor. If the Customer damages the equipment through negligence, the Customer will be responsible for the repairs. The location of where the repairs will occur will be mutually agreed by the Customer and the Contractor. The Customer will only be responsible for actual, verifiable repair costs. If mutually agreed, the rental term may exceed the term of the Contract providing the purchase order is issued, and the rental term begins, prior to the end of the Contract term. The rental term cannot go past the State Fiscal Year end date (June 30th) after the Contract term has ended. If the Customer desires to purchase the rental equipment, it must be purchased prior to the end of the term of the Contract. The Contractor will pay all costs associated with replacing or swapping out the equipment. 8. PURCHASE OF RENTED EQUIPMENT If there are options for the Customer to purchase rented equipment after the equipment has been received and rented, then the final equipment price will be based on the number of engine hours, or miles prior to delivery to the Customer. New rented equipment is defined as rented equipment with zero hours, or miles prior to the delivery to the Customer. Used rental or demo equipment is defined as rental or demo equipment with registered engine hours or miles prior to delivery to the Customer. 9. PURCHASE NEW RENTED EQUIPMENT New rented equipment is defined as new equipment with zero engine hours, or miles prior to the delivery to the Customer and rented by the Customer prior to purchase. If there is an option to purchase new rental equipment, and if included on the Price Schedule, the vendor will indicate the percentage of the rental price paid to be applied to the final purchase price. This percent will be deducted from the contracted price for the equipment. The Contractor must list on the Price Schedule if additional interest and finance charges would be added to the purchase price for the rental period only so the Customer can determine if it desires to purchase the rental equipment. If this includes a finance charge, the percent must be indicated on the Price Schedule. If the Prime Interest Rate is also used as a calculator in the formula for calculation, it may only be the average Prime Interest Rate for the rental term only. The Contractor must provide any documentation requested to substantiate the Prime Interest Rate being charged. 10. EQUIPMENT ORIENTATION The cost of the equipment must include orientation to the end user that will familiarize the end user on how the equipment will operate, the mounting and removal of accessories and/or options and all operating and safety instruction. The orientation is normally provided where the customer takes possession. Orientation for drop shipped goods may be accomplished via video or via other customer approved media. 11. PURCHASE OF USED RENTED EQUIPMENT Used rental equipment is defined as equipment rented by the Customer with registered engine hours or miles prior to delivery to the Customer. If requested on the Price Schedule, the vendor may offer used rental equipment for sale. The rental equipment for sale must be the same make and model on contract. The manufacturer’s warranty shall be transferred to the new owner. The vendor should consider all associated costs involved if the rental equipment is purchased and no additional interest or finance charges will be allowed. Contract Release: T-652(5) Contract Release 17 (11/16/17) Page 5 of 6 The final equipment purchase price will be based on two factors: 1. A price per hour deduction for each registered engine hours prior to delivery to the Customer from the current State Contract base price, and 2. The percentage of the Customer rental price paid and applied to the final equipment purchase price. Equipment Contract Base Price Minus (-) Used Equipment Deduction (registered engine hours prior to delivery multiplied (x) by the contract price per used hour) Subtotal Minus (-) % Percent of paid rental fees Equals (=) Final Equipment Purchase Price EXAMPLE: MnDOT rents a used piece of equipment which has a contract price of $20,000.00 to purchase new. The equipment has 100 registered engine hours prior to delivery to MnDOT. The equipment is rented for three (3) months at a contracted cost of $2,000.00 per month totaling $6,000.00. The contracted price for each used engine hour is $1.00 per hour. The contracted rental price percentage to be applied to the purchase of rented equipment is 20%. When MnDOT decides to purchase the Used Rental Equipment, their final equipment purchase price will be as follows: $20,000.00 (=the Equipment Contract Base Price) - $ 100.00 ($1.00 X 100 hours = the Used Equipment Deduction) = $19,900.00 (Subtotal) - $ 1,200.00 (20% of $6,000.00 (the total rent paid) = the Percent of paid rental fees) $18,700.00 (final equipment purchase price) If extended warranty options are available, Contractors should list the costs on the Price Schedule under “Options.” The price should include all associated costs and indicate the number of years, miles or hours the extended warranty term covers. 12. RENTAL RETURN OR DEMO EQUIPMENT SALE During the term of the Contract, if Contractor owned rental returns or demo equipment become available for purchase and the equipment is currently on contract, the equipment may be purchased by the Customer. The remaining manufacturer’s warranty shall be transferred to the new owner. The Contractor should consider all associated costs involved if the rental or demo owned equipment is purchased and no additional interest or finance charges will be allowed if purchase occurs. The final equipment price will be based on the price deduction per used hour offered from the current State Contract base price. If extended warranty options are available for rental or demo equipment sales, the Contractor should list the options and costs on the Price Schedule under “Options.” The price should include all associated costs and indicate the number of years, miles or hours the extended warranty term covers 13. USED EQUIPMENT Used equipment is not part of the Contract. Customers must acquire used equipment according to their local purchasing requirements. 14. EQUIPMENT TRADE-IN If requested by the Customer, the Contractor will allow equipment to be used as trade-in against new contract equipment purchases. Trade-ins will be allowed on a case by case basis, and the Customer has the right to refuse any offer made by the Contractor. All equipment will be traded “as is, where is,” with no guarantee expressed or implied. All State agencies must obtain approval from the Department of Administration Surplus Services prior to any Contractor trade-in transaction. The liquidation of any State equipment must follow State policies and procedures for liquidation of State property. CPV members are solely responsible for compliance with their local government’s requirements for liquidation of surplus goods. Contract Release: T-652(5) Contract Release 17 (11/16/17) Page 6 of 6 The Trade-in equipment transfer, and title will occur when the new equipment is delivered and accepted unless otherwise agreed to by the Contractor and the Customer. The Customer assumes all costs associated with the transfer of the trade-in equipment unless otherwise agreed to by the Contractor and the Customer. The title of State equipment trade-ins shall be provided to the Contractor in accordance with Minn. Stat. § 168A.11. 15. MISCELLANOUS ITEMS State agencies may purchase incidental miscellaneous parts, accessories and labor that is directly related to a specific item(s) included on the Contract. The total purchase order issued by a State agency for these types of items may not exceed $5,000.00 for an individual purchase order. If the Customer’s entity requires a lower threshold for competitive bidding other than $5,000.00, they must follow their local entity’s requirements. Any purchase order must be issued to the Contractor. 16.

REVISIONS. 01/21/2021 Updated Benson Muni name with dba Cushman 10/27/2020 Contract awarded. AMS Mike Sutton Memorandum      To:  Bernie Weber‐Director of Public Works    From: Bill Robberstad‐Central Garage Supervisor  Date: September 10, 2021  Subject: Purchase of a Holder C70 Municipal Utility Tractor and ancillary equipment    Staff is recommending the city purchase a 2021 Holder C70 Municipal Utility Tractor and ancillary  equipment from Cushman Motor Company for $148,468.00.    The 2021 capital improvement program (CIP) includes the purchase of a Municipal Utility Tractor,  hydraulic broom, V‐plow and snow blower to replace the city’s existing ten‐year‐old Belos Trans‐ giant utility tractor and ancillary equipment. The Municipal Utility Tractor is a vital piece of  equipment in the Public Works fleet of equipment. The tractor is used primarily for sidewalk snow  removal as well as numerous other functions of public works maintenance. For example, we have  utilized this equipment for clearing sanitary sewer lift stations and opening areas around fire  hydrants when needed.    I recommend the ten‐year‐old Belos Trans‐Giant utility tractor be retired from city use as pins,  bushings and other operational features are becoming quite worn from frequent use. The machine  has reached its life cycle estimate and staff recommends replacing the machine before repairs become  problematic. Issues with this machine tend to surface when the machine is in operation during  critical situations.  I do not advise extending the life cycle on this particular unit.    Staff is recommending that the city utilize a cooperative purchasing opportunity provided through  State of Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Venture (CPV) to purchase the new Utility Tractor.  Cushman Motor Company has been awarded Contract No. 184610 under the CPV.    The 2021 CIP has $176,242.47 in the replacement reserve fund for the purchase of this equipment. The  cost of the 2021 Holder C70 Municipal Utility Tractor and ancillary equipment is $148,468.00. The  Cushman Motor Company is not interested in offering a trade‐in value for the older sidewalk plow.  Therefore, I recommend auctioning off the 2011 Belos Trans‐giant Municipal Utility Tractor.
