Planning Commission applicants – three interviews have been scheduled for Monday evening prior to
the Council Meeting, starting at 6:00 p.m. The schedule and applications were recently emailed to you
by the city clerk.
Open Forum
Staff is not aware of anyone planning to address the Council for the Open Forum.
Item 6.1
There are no new business license requests.
Item 6.2
This item involves routine financial claims.
Item 6.3
There are no new liability claims to report.
Item 6.4
This resolution proclaims the week of October 10‐16 as Police Week in the city of New Hope, to correspond
with National Police Week events being held in Washington, DC. Events were rescheduled from May 11‐16,
2021, until October 13‐17, 2021, due to the on‐going COVID‐19 pandemic. There are over 800,000 sworn law
enforcement officers who serve in the United States. Unfortunately on average, one officer is killed every 54
hours. The names of officers killed in the line of duty are engraved on the walls of the National Law
Enforcement Memorial. Chief Hoyt and I recommend adoption of the resolution.
Item 6.5
Council is asked to waive $40 in sign permit fees for temporary signs for the New Hope Women of Today
Cooper Craft Fair fundraising event to be held on October 30, 2021, at Cooper High School. Approximately
30 small signs will be placed on private property the week prior to the event. Funds raised from the event
provide college scholarships for students of District 281 and also benefit other local charities. The city
historically waives sign permit fees for community events. Director Sargent and I recommend approval.
Item 6.6
This item waives $360 for nine temporary sign permits for the ongoing Armstrong Cooper Youth Hockey
Association’s registration process. The New Hope Ice Arena is the home ice arena for the organization. The
signs help recruit new participants and alert families of upcoming registration dates. Director Sargent and I
recommend approval.
Item 8.1
This item accepts the feasibility report for construction of the 2022 infrastructure project and calls for a
public hearing on October 25 to consider ordering the project. The streets planned for a reclaim and
overlay in the 2022 Pavement Management Plan have street PRI ratings as poor. The 2022 project
includes streets in the Liberty Park area. Liberty Park is the only tax exempt property in the project
area. The estimated cost for the project is $2,050,069.14 which would be funded primarily with street
infrastructure and utility funds. Director Weber and I recommend approval.
Item 10.1
Staff is recommending the purchase of a 2021 sidewalk plow (Holder C70 municipal utility tractor) and
attachments from Cushman Motor Company, Inc. for $148,468. The plow will replace the city’s 10‐year old
Belos Transgiant utility tractor which is in poor condition and will be sent to auction. There is $176,242 in the
equipment replacement reserve fund for the purchase of the new equipment. It is recommended that the city
obtain the equipment through the State of Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Venture with the contract held
by Cushman Motor Company, Inc. Director Weber and I recommend approval.
Item 12.1
Mayor Hemken will review upcoming meetings and events.
If you have any questions regarding items in the agenda packet, please call the city clerk or me
before the meeting so that staff can research any issues and be prepared to respond at the meeting.

CIVIC CENTER PARK
DRAINTILE
IMPROVEMENTS/
CHANGE ORDER
(IMP. PROJECT 1055)
Item 8.1
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

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
at 100% level (not utilized for general operations).
Public safety is a high priority; continue community engagement programs
with the Joint Community Policing Partnership with Crystal and Robbinsdale,
expand officer wellness program and complete CIP purchases.
Support/coordinate with West Metro Fire‐Rescue District partnership with
Crystal; including emergency preparedness training and support of long‐term
capital plan and station 3 improvements..
Redevelopment of city center and other areas is a high priority, potential
improvements at St. Therese Nursing Home campus and new medical
equipment facility at 27th and Nevada.
Property maintenance and inspections continue as top priority; continue
aggressive scattered site housing program to remove or renovate deteriorated
homes and increase property values with new construction or rehabilitation.
Continue infrastructure/environmental improvements; complete street and
water infrastructure improvements in Liberty Park neighborhood, including
Bass Lake Road watermain loop; coordinate with Hennepin County on Bass
Lake Road mill and overlay project; continue coordination on Boone and 42nd
Avenue signal replacement and future 42nd Avenue bridge replacement,
continue annual seal coat/crack repair/fog seal improvements and sewer
lining, coordinate on Meadow Lake drawdown and golf course culvert
improvements. Continue coordination with Joint Water Commission and
maintain partnerships with Northwood Lake and Meadow Lake Watershed
Associations.

New Hope City Council September 13, 2021

coordinate with OBMT on musical performances.
Continue Emerald Ash Borer removal/replacement program on public
property and buckthorn removal in parks.
Continue contractual arrangement with Solution Builders for IT services.
Continue financial services contract with AEM, update ten‐year financial plan,
pavement management plan, and long‐term capital improvements plan.
Conduct professional city‐wide survey with Morris Leatherman to solicit
resident feedback on city services/programs/issues, encourage public
participation on city projects and promote inclusiveness.
Continue MN GreenStep Cities program.
Implement cost of living increase (3%) and shared increase for insurance
contributions included for employees; council salary adjustments.
2022 is gubernatorial election year; funds are budgeted for election judge costs
and additional staffing; orient any new residents elected to serve on City
Council to city departments, programs and operations.
Ms. Vicki Holthaus, AEM, reviewed the proposed tax levy. She stated the
preliminary tax levy for the general fund is $11,393,354, which is a 4.72% increase
over the 2021 general fund levy. She stated the overall proposed tax levy is
$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
• 2022 LGA allotment increased from $865,307 to $866,642
• No change in PERA employer retirement contributions for 2022
Ms. Holthaus illustrated the city’s LGA and city tax rate over the past ten years.
She reported the city’s tax rate is slated to slightly increase from 62.60 to 62.72. She
explained how the local tax rate is applied to the tax capacity.
Next Ms. Holthaus reviewed the general fund revenues and expenditures for 2020,
2021 and 2022. She stated if the preliminary 2022 budget is adopted, the city will
maintain a fund balance of 50% of expenditures. She explained a fund balance is
necessary for city operations for the first half of the year, as the city does not receive
any property tax revenue until mid‐year. She stated the overall levy increase is
4.67%. Ms. Holthaus noted LGA will be used for equipment replacement savings
(not to offset general operations).
Ms. Holthaus stated Council and staff will continue to review budgets and
programs to finalize the budget document. She stated the budget meeting for
public comment is December 6, and the Council will consider adoption of the 2022
New Hope City Council September 13, 2021

Mr. Kirk McDonald, city manager, stated the ordinance amendment was drafted
based on direction from Council from the August 16 work session. The ordinance
amendment increases the maximum number of chickens allowed from three to
four, changes the language regarding “fowl” in the city code so that only chickens

language similar to the city of Crystal’s regarding shelter/coop structure, sale of

New Hope’s code is not identical to the city of Crystal. In New Hope a property
owner may have a maximum of three dogs and a maximum of three cats.

Ms. Rader stated the meeting focused on the French Park master plan and gaining
input from commissioners. She stated the Three Rivers Park District may share the
master plan to Council at a later date and the inquiry regarding future bike paths could
be presented at that time.
Discussion ensued regarding the commission’s activities. Mr. Bill Wills noted the
commission strives to promote eve nts that build community and ones that can be
implemented by commissioners rather than asking city staff to take on additional
responsibilities.
Director Rader noted the snowman contest and garage sale events were initiatives led
by the commission. She also noted the commission assists with some parks and
recreation programs/events.
Mayor Hemken explained the Back Acres Garden Club formerly planted flowers in the
13 planters along 42nd Avenue to beautify the city. She wondered whether this might
be an endeavor of interest to the Citizens Advisory Commission.
Council thanked the commission for adopting Liberty Park, conducting park
inspections/reports, and for their community outreach.

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.

Resolution Accepting Feasibility Report on 2022 Infrastructure Improvements Project and calling for a
public hearing to consider ordering project (Improvement Project No. 1074)
Requested Action
Staff recommends that Council first receive presentation regarding the feasibility report and then
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.

Dear Bernie,
A feasibility report and cost estimate has been prepared for this project. 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

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.

Total Project Costs $2,050,069.14 $2,079,521.60 $29,452.46
The costs in the feasibility report are higher on street and storm sewer items due to:
·we estimated street costs conservatively due to the current bidding climate, which has
caused overall project costs to be higher than what was originally estimated with the CIP.
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:

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.
If you have any questions or require further information, please call me at (612) 712-2021.

Dear Mayor and Council Members:
We are pleased to present our Feasibility Report for the 2022 Infrastructure Improvements project.
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,

CITY OF NEW HOPE – 2022 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.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
The streets identified in this report were generally constructed in the 1960s.
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

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.

All the water main within this project area is cast iron. As is typical with other existing cast iron water
main in the city, a history of breaks has been confirmed on several of the project streets and are
shown on Figure 4. The water main breaks are especially prevalent on Independence Avenue. The
water main will be replaced in this area; however, only the trench of the water main will be
reconstructed. The remaining streets will be reclaimed and overlaid.

CITY OF NEW HOPE – 2022 INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
STREET IMPROVEMENTS
Approximately 1.26 miles of streets are proposed to be improved as identified in Figure 1. 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.

2022 Infrastructure Improvements Page 14
MILL AND OVERLAY
The full width mill and overlay consists of milling the upper 2 inches of the existing bituminous surface
across the entire width of the street, followed by an equivalent depth overlay over the entire
bituminous surface. 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.

On past projects, the city has also utilized an edge mill and overlay improvement method. 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.

COMPLETE STREETS
In May 2011, the City of New Hope approved a Complete Streets policy. 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.

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.

SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
The sanitary sewer mains have been lined in 2020 and 2021 and overall are in satisfactory condition.
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.

STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
MILL AND OVERLAY AND FULL DEPTH RECLAMATION AREAS
The storm sewer improvements planned for the streets located east of TH 169 and north of Bass Lake
Road (CSAH 10) in the Liberty Park West neighborhood will be minimal as the number of structures
identified to be in poor condition would exceed designated 2022 budgets.
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.

FINANCING
REVENUES
The following are possible sources of funding for the 2022 Infrastructure Improvements project:
·Street Improvement Fund
·Sanitary Sewer Fund
·Sanitary Sewer I/I Fund
·Water Main Fund
·Storm Water Fund
·Assessments
ASSESSMENTS
Benefiting, tax-exempt properties are proposed to be assessed for street improvements as part of
the construction of this project. Figure 9 shows the locations of these properties. Assessments will not
be levied against taxable residential and commercial/ industrial properties in accordance with the
New Hope’s Assessment Policy, nor will any utility improvements be assessed to any benefitting
property. The following tabulates the assessment rates for this project:

* Funding for I/I related improvements is estimated at $60,140.00, which can be funded from
separate Capital Improvement Projects within the Sewer Fund.
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.

A. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Drilling Notes:
Blows/N‐value: Blows indicatethe driving resistance recorded
for each 6‐inch interval. The reported N‐value is the blows per
foot recorded by summing the second and third interval in
accordance with the Standard Penetration Test, ASTM D1586.
PartialPenetration:If the sampler could not be driven
through a full 6‐inch interval, the number of blows for that
partial penetration is shown as #/x" (i.e. 50/2"). The N‐value is
reported as "REF" indicating refusal.
Recovery: Indicates the inches of sample recovered from the
sampled interval. For a standard penetration test, full recovery
is 18", and is 24" for a thinwall/shelby tube sample.
WOH: Indicates the sampler penetrated soil under weight of
hammer and rods alone; driving not required.
WOR: Indicates the sampler penetrated soil under weight of
rods alone; hammer weight and driving not required.
Water Level: Indicates the water level measured by the
drillers either while drilling ( ), at the end of drilling ( ),
or at some time after drilling ( ).
Moisture Content:
Dry:Absence of moisture, dusty, dry to the touch.
Moist: Damp but no visible water.
Wet: Visible free water, usually soil is below water table.

purchase of a 2021 Holder C70 municipal utility tractor and ancillary equipment from Cushman Motor
Company, Inc.
Requested Action
Staff is recommending that the Council approve a resolution authorizing the purchase of a 2021 Holder C70
municipal utility tractor (sidewalk plow) and ancillary equipment (broom, plow and blower) from Cushman
Motor Company.
Policy/Past Practice
The city develops a ten‐year capital improvement program (CIP) for capital equipment, facility
improvements, and infrastructure projects. Every two years the CIP is reviewed, updated, and extended two
years for another ten‐year period. The current CIP has a sidewalk plow listed in its capital equipment section
for purchase in 2021.
Background
The 2021 capital improvement program (CIP) includes the purchase of a municipal utility tractor and
ancillary equipment to replace the city’s existing ten year old Belos Trans‐giant utility tractor. 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 street and park
maintenance.
Staff is recommending that the city use the Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Program to purchase the 2021
Holder C70 municipal utility tractor and ancillary equipment. Cushman Motor Company, Inc. has been
awarded the contract (Contract No. 184610) as the vendor for Holder equipment in 2021.
Funding
The state contract total for the purchase of the 2021 Holder C70 municipal utility tractor and ancillary
equipment is $148,468. Staff recommends sending the 2011 Belos Trans‐giant to auction as the Cushman Motor
Company is not interested in offering a trade‐in value for the older sidewalk plow. The current vehicle
replacement fund has $176,242.47 dedicated for this vehicle replacement and ancillary equipment.

Contract Release 17 (11/16/17) Page 4 of 6
7. 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.

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.
