January 11, 2021 Todd Blomstrom City Engineer City of Arden Hills 1245 Hwy 96 W Arden Hills, MN 55112 Subject: Proposal For Mounds View High School Trail Improvements (PW-21-0105) Dear Todd Blomstrom and Members of the Selection Committee: Over the last decade the City of Arden Hills has made significant investment into the development of its community trail network with the intent of a making the City a safer and more enjoyable place to walk and bicycle. The extension of the trails along Snelling Avenue and Lake Valentine Road to connect to Mounds View High School is the latest project to further this effort. This is a challenging project with many traffic, design, utility and stakeholder issues to work through and requires a strong technical team with enthusiasm and a passion for trail projects. SRF Consulting Group is excited to take on this challenge and partner with the County, local stakeholders, and residents of Arden Hills to develop a safe, aesthetically-pleasing, and pedestrian-friendly trail connection to Mounds View High School. We believe our team can deliver outstanding results and an exceptional working experience that satisfies the technical needs, schedule requirements, and management challenges generated by this highly visible project. Our strengths include: • Design Expertise. This project presents a variety of design and program challenges, including the potential to reduce pavement with alternative roadway lane configurations, slope and alignment challenges, and Watershed District/County coordination. The SRF team brings exceptional experience in regional trail design, with over 60 years of collective experience on dozens of complex trail projects within Twin Cities and the greater region. We will bring our creativity and technical experience to successfully address project constraints and opportunities. • Experienced Project Leaders. Mike McGarvey will lead the overall management of this project. He is highly regarded for managing projects that foster an open and collaborative design process with multi-stakeholder projects and is currently managing the Bruce Vento trail for Ramsey County, which is a similar project near Bald Eagle Lake and White Bear Lake High School. Mike will be supported by Stewart Crosby, and Steve Prusak. Stewart, an expert in trail planning and former TRPD planner, will lead the evaluation of trail alternatives and the preferred alignment. Steve will lead the technical design and development of the preferred trail design. Mike, Stewart, and Steve will leverage their combination of management and design and technical proficiency to efficiently advance the needs of the project and ensure Arden Hills receives the best leadership and expertise throughout the project. • Creative and Collaborative Process. Engaging stakeholders will be critical to the success of this project. SRF will work closely with the City’s Project Manager to build upon previous public engagement efforts and to integrate the concerns of multiple agencies, residents, and the larger community into the design. Our work plan includes several cost-effective engagement strategies and tools that wecan utilize to foster an open process and build project consensus among residents and the community. Collaborative design discussions with City staff are important for quality results. Outside the box thinking may result in alternatives that minimize the need for additional easements. • Sustainable Solutions. One of the key goals is to have the trail lay lightly upon the natural features so that it blends into the natural sur- roundings while enhancing the user experience. Our preliminary evaluation suggests that there are opportunities to reduce impervious surfaces and related stormwater management elements. We will also work to ensure that the design is constructible and that materials will be of high quality to minimize ongoing maintenance. Our preliminary evaluation suggests that there are opportunities to reduce impervious surfaces and related stormwater management elements. We are confident the SRF team will bring immediate value to the City of Arden Hills and stakeholders by completing the project in a comprehensive and professional manner. We can also help the City strategize an implementation and funding strategy for this project through its planning and grant writing staff. We look forward to meeting with you to discuss the project in greater detail and to showcase our nthusiasme for this unique and challenging project. Should you have any questions regarding this proposal, please contact Mike McGarvey at 763.475.0010 or [email protected]. Sincerely,

Michael McGarvey, PLA, ASLA Matt Pacyna, PE Project Principal Principal

RE: Proposal for Professional Engineering Services – MVHS Trail Improvements PW-21-0105 City of Arden Hills, Minnesota

Dear Mr. Blomstrom & Mr. Swearingen,

Thank you for allowing Bolton & Menk to provide you with this proposal for professional engineering & survey services for preliminary & final design for the Mounds View High School Trail Improvements. This proposal is based on the RFP sent via email on December 17, 2020. As a part of this proposal, we have described our project understanding, detailed our proposed scope of work, and itemized our estimated fees for the project.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING The City of Arden Hills is interested in professional planning and design services for construction of a pedestrian trail along Snelling Avenue North from County Road E2 to Lake Valentine Road and along Lake Valentine Road from Crystal Avenue to Mounds View High School. Primary project elements include topographic survey, trail design, stormwater and wetland permitting with Rice Creek Watershed District, coordination with Ramsey County, and easement delineation. The intent is to complete preliminary and final design – to 60% complete, by June 1, 2021. Construction is anticipated in 2022 or 2023.

Trail construction will be considered a linear project under Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) standard rules and all new and reconstructed impervious surfaces will require management. Trails follow an exemption if a vegetated buffer at least the width of the trail (up to 10 feet in width) is provided. This is the simplest form of treatment but isn’t always feasible given adjacent grades and private property interaction. We will design stormwater best management practices (BMP) that will reduce or eliminate the need for property acquisition and leverage treatment of the in-place impervious areas to encourage a single regional BMP. We will utilize our firm understanding of RCWD rules, and foundational relationship with RCWD staff, to formulate a stormwater management plan that balances cost and RCWD rule compliance.

SCOPE OF WORK In accordance with the City’s request, Bolton & Menk proposes to complete the following scope of work in support of the MVHS Trail Improvements:

Task 1: Project Coordination Bolton & Menk will work in close coordination with the City to develop a project schedule and ensure project deadlines are met.

Subtask 1.1: Project Management Project management activities include project monitoring, conducting project meetings and providing project updates. This task also includes coordinating Geotechnical Engineering support.

Subtask 1.2: City Meetings Bolton & Menk will be available for project update meetings with City staff every two weeks throughout the project. Bolton & Menk will provide status updates on project development and progress. These meetings will be conducted via phone or Microsoft Teams.

We will also attend, and participate as needed in, up to two City Council meetings for the purpose of providing project updates. We anticipate we to attend a council meeting to discuss the preferred layout alternative, as well as present the final plans.

Subtask 1.3: Regulatory Agency Coordination Bolton & Menk will facilitate an initial project meeting with City Staff, Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD), and other water resources stakeholders, as needed, during the Alternatives Review phase. This will give the project team an opportunity to describe the project, address potential challenges and opportunities, and frame the proposed solution in the context of RCWD permitting requirements. A second meeting will serve as a pre-permit coordination meeting where the final proposed trail alignment, drainage plan, wetland impacts, and stormwater best management practices (BMP) will be presented to RCWD staff for final feedback. It is anticipated meetings with RCWD will be held virtually.

Subtask 1.4: County Coordination Our project team will coordinate with Ramsey County as a part of the project. Our project manager will attend, and facilitate as needed, up to two meetings with Ramsey County. It is expected that these meetings will be conducted via phone or Microsoft Teams.

Task 1 Deliverables: Meeting agendas, meeting minutes

Task 2: Project Survey This task is intended to gather existing topographic, utility, and site feature information. This task also includes wetland services.

Subtask 2.1 Topographic Survey Our team will gather pertinent field information on City infrastructure, right-of-way, private utilities, etc. Underground utility information will be located and illustrated per available as-builts, field markings, and private utility map information facilitated through Gopher State One Call. A base map will be created identifying existing ground and utility features in electronic format. This base map will be utilized as the basis and background for preliminary engineering and final design.

A full topographic survey will be completed from back of curb to five feet beyond right-of-way along Lake Valentine Road and from center of the southbound travel lane to five feet beyond right-of-way along Snelling Avenue. Structure reports will be completed for the handful of storm structures in the southwest quadrant of Lake Valentine Road and Snelling Avenue.

ǣ̳̳ ̳ʹͲʹͳ ̳ Ǥ MVHS Trail Improvements – PW-21-0105 January 11, 2021 Page 3

Subtask 2.2 Wetland Services Bolton & Menk will thoroughly investigate the available background information needed prior to visiting the site. This includes compiling information as follows:

1. Available Aerial Photographs 2. Ramsey County LiDAR Maps 3. National Wetlands Inventory Maps 4. Ramsey County Soil Survey Maps 5. MNDNR Public Waters Maps

Subtask 2.2a Level 2 Wetland Delineation We will visit the site to delineate all aquatic resource boundaries within the designated study area. The delineation will include performing transects and sampling in the vicinity of those wetlands, placing 3- foot pin flags at the limits of any wetlands found. Our delineator will use a sub-meter GPS unit to accurately locate and map each point and preparing a written report of our findings.

Subtask 2.2b Aquatic Resource Impact Permitting Bolton & Menk will use the aquatic resource delineation to determine and prepare the appropriate permit application to account for any aquatic resource impacts proposed by the project. This will include the MN Joint Application to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Local Government Unit, as well as an MPARS application completed for review by the MNDNR. The applications will include GIS based figures and sequencing analysis, permit narrative and project plan set.

Subtask 2.2c Meetings - Wetland Permitting In some cases, the reviewing agencies request additional information and/or an on-site meeting during the review process. If our attendance is requested at a meeting to discuss the acceptance of the delineated boundaries or the agencies request additional information, this service will be provided on an hourly basis at our Wetland Specialist rate. We have included one site meeting as a part of this proposal.

Task 2 Deliverables: A digital copy of the topographic survey base map, in AutoCAD, including topographic survey, right-of-way and property line information. Aquatic resource delineation and necessary wetland permit applications.

Task 3: Geotechnical Investigation Bolton & Menk has retained Braun Intertec as a sub-consultant for geotechnical services for this project. The purpose of Braun’s geotechnical evaluation will be to characterize subsurface geologic conditions at selected exploration locations, evaluate their impact on the project, and provide geotechnical recommendations for the design and construction of the trail improvements project. Braun’s proposal and full scope of work is available upon request. The geotechnical evaluation will include:

x 6 Penetration Borings, ranging in depth from 10 to 14.5 feet x 3 Penetration Borings, ranging in depth from 20 to 25 feet x 1 penetration boring to a depth of 15 feet in the area of a stormwater pond x Geotechnical Report including: o Log of borings o Summary of the subsurface conditions o Discussion regarding reuse of on-site material during construction o Recommendations for preparing structure and pavement subgrades

ǣ̳̳ ̳ʹͲʹͳ ̳ Ǥ MVHS Trail Improvements – PW-21-0105 January 11, 2021 Page 4

o Recommendations for the design and construction of trails (including pavement design), retaining walls, utilities, and stormwater improvements

As discussed with the City, it is expected that City staff will help with snow clearing and traffic control as needed to complete the geotechnical boring work. Bolton & Menk, and Braun, also request any soils information for past projects in the area, namely the trail along Snelling Avenue, south of County Road E2.

Task 3 Deliverables: Geotechnical report with design/construction recommendations

Task 4: Public Engagement Bolton and Menk will facilitate one public informational meeting during the design phase of the project. It is expected this meeting will be held virtually in between March-May 2021. The informational meeting will allow the project team to share the preliminary concept layout and gather input from the area property owners. A survey will also be shared with area property owners to gather input.

Task 4 Deliverables: Informational meeting letter, presentation, and survey

Task 5: Alternatives Review Bolton & Menk will prepare up to two alignment alternatives for review with City staff. The alternatives presented will share, at a high-level, impacts to right of way, existing utilities and ground features, wetlands, and permitting. A preliminary cost estimate will also be provided.

As preliminary trail alignments are reviewed, drainage solutions and proposed BMP strategies will be presented. This will include one preliminary BMP layout per trail alignment, other potential drainage improvements, and a summary of challenges in meeting RCWD Rules. For instance, one effective strategy for meeting stormwater requirements in RCWD is to provide a vegetated buffer on the down slope at least the width of the trail. This may not be feasible in certain areas based on adjacent grades or private property lines, so other BMP configurations will be necessary. Additionally, the regional BMP located Valentine Park could be expanded to accommodate the new impervious area requiring treatment, depending on the current size of the practice, total treatment area, and available space.

Task 5 Deliverables: Two plan view layouts, meeting agendas, meeting minutes

Task 6: Construction Plans (Final Design) Bolton & Menk will complete final design and preparation of construction plans. Final design will be based off the alignment alternative selected in Task 5.

Subtask 6.1: Plan Set The project plan set will include the plan sheets as listed in the RFP: Title Sheet, SEQ, Construction Notes, Standard Plates, Typical Sections, Removal Sheets, Plan & Profile sheets for Trail, drainage and retaining walls, pavement restoration, Grading Plan, Erosion Control Plan, SWPPP, and Cross-Sections.

In anticipation of retaining walls adjacent to the trail along Snelling Avenue, we have included time to prepare a plan and profile for the retaining well. It is expected that the walls will be big block walls, similar to the existing wall along Snelling Avenue, south of County Road E2. Our structural engineer will assist with the details for the walls.

ǣ̳̳ ̳ʹͲʹͳ ̳ Ǥ MVHS Trail Improvements – PW-21-0105 January 11, 2021 Page 5

Subtask 6.2: Project Submittals Plan submittals will be made at 30% for City Review and at 60% & 90% for City and County Review. An Engineer’s Estimate will be included with the 60% and 90% submittals. Following 90% plan comments, final plans will be submitted for final City and County approval.

Subtask 6.3: Project Specifications As noted in the RFP, final bidding documents including project specification, and final Rice Creek Watershed District Permit will be completed under an amendment to this proposal.

Subtask 6.3: Permits Bolton & Menk will prepare RCWD permit documents that include: stormwater management plan narrative, description of rule compliance, associated figures depicting drainage conditions, hydraulic modeling, soils information, and any other materials to meet permit compliance. Submittal will be made to RCWD for initial review. We will also prepare NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit materials. Necessary wetland permit applications will also be initiated.

Task 6 Deliverables: Final construction plans, permit applications initiated Task 7: Easement Documents This task includes preparing up to 19 easement exhibits with descriptions for easement acquisition. As stated in the RFP, the City will be responsible for preparing easement appraisals and offers.

Task 7 Deliverables: Easement exhibits, up to 19.

Task 8: County Coordination Our project team will coordinate with Ramsey County as a part of the project. We will attend, and facilitate as needed, up to two meetings with Ramsey County. It is expected that these meetings will be conducted via phone or Microsoft Teams. Task 8 Deliverables: Meeting agenda and meeting minutes
