5.1. SR 07-18-2011REQUEST FOR ACTION TO ITEM NUMBER Honorable Ma or and Ci Council 5.1. AGENDA SECTION MEETING DATE PREPARED BY Administration ul 18, 2011 ustin Femrite, P.E. ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED B)/ 2011 Street Improvement Project Bob Thistle, Interim City ^ Assessment Hearing -Public Hearing Administrator ^ Resolution Adopting Final Assessment Roll REVIEWED BY ^ Resolution Awarding the Bid and Authorizing Execution of the Contract ACTION REQUESTED Upon conclusion of the assessment public hearing, the City Council is asked to consider adoption of the attached two resolutions. The first resolution adopts the final assessment roll. The second resolution awards the bid and authorizes the execution of the contract. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The assessment hearing for the 2011 Street Improvement project is scheduled for this evening's City Council meeting. At the start of the public hearing I will make a presentation of the proposed improvements and the financing aspects of the project. After my presentation, I will be available to answer questions from the City Council and/or public. Part of my presentation will touch on the property owners' rights relative to an appeal of the assessment. It is important to remember that the property owners must submit a written objection at or before the assessment hearing in order to preserve their right to appeal the assessment. Simply speaking at the public hearing and voicing an objection is not sufficient to preserve the right to file an objection with the District Court. Construction bids were received on Thursday, June 30, 2011. There were a total of eight bids received which ranged from $1,431,095.72 to $1,780,681.20. A tabulation of the bids is attached. The low bid was received from Redstone Construction Co., Inc., in the amount of $1,431,095.72. This is slightly below the feasibility study estimate for the overall construction cost. At the improvement hearing one comment was received discussing the merits of providing a sidewalk along Evans Avenue from Main Street south to the Vernon Cemetery. We solicited a bid alternative to evaluate the costs for adding this section of walk. The cost for adding this piece of walk is $18,186.00. Based on the relatively high costs, limited amount of use that can be expected, and previous correspondence with property owners along the project stating sidewalks were not being installed, we are not recommending award of the bid alternative. The proposed assessment rate has been slightly reduced from originally estimated in the feasibility report based on bids received. A standard residential lot in Project Area 1 will be assessed at a rate of $6,984.61. There are a number of properties on this project that are not typical single residential units. As with N:\Public Bodies\Ciry Council\Council RCA\Agenda Packet\07-18-201 ] \Assessment and Bid.docx previous projects all town home or twin home properties are proposed to be assessed at $5,238.46 or 0.75 residential equivalents per dwelling unit. The properties along the 15L Street cul-de-sac are proposed to be assessed at a rate of $1,746.15 or 0.25 residential equivalents per dwelling unit. Commercial and industrial properties have been assessed at a rate of $10,476.92 or 1.5 residential equivalents. Assessments in Project Area 2 have been calculated with the total assessable costs split throughout the Industrial Park based on 50% per unit and 50% on assessable lot frontage. Assessments in Project Area 2 range from $6,256.83 to $18,852.37. At the close of the assessment hearing, it would be appropriate for the City Council to consider the attached resolutions. The first resolution adopts the final assessment roll (which is also attached). This can be adopted with any revisions to the assessment roll that the City Council deems appropriate after listening to testimony from the public. A final notice of the assessment schedule including interest rate will be mailed to each property after the assessment hearing, indicating the action the Council has taken. The second resolution awards the contract. This resolution has been prepared based on staff recommendation to not include the sidewalk along Evans Avenue. It would only be appropriate to consider this second resolution if the resolution adopting the final assessment roll is passed by the City Council. FINANCIAL IMPACT Based on the low bid received, the total project cost including overhead is estimated at $1,655,976.72. The total cost of private property assessments, as detailed in the attached assessment rolls, is $560,615.41. The remaining project cost is proposed to be funded by the appropriate City and Elk River Municipal Utility funds.

The final assessment roll, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, is hereby accepted and adopted and shall constitute the special assessment against the lands therein named. Each such tract of land in the assessment roll is hereby found to be benefited by the improvement in an amount not less than the amount of the assessment levied against it. 2. Such assessment shall be payable in equal annual installments, including both principal and interest, amortized in such amount annually as is required to pay the principal with interest at 3.40% over a period of ten years. 3. The owner of any property so assessed may at any time prior to certification to the County Auditor of the assessment or the first installment thereof, pay to the City Treasurer the whole of the assessment on such property, with interest accrued to the date of payment; except that no interest shall be charged if the entire assessment is paid within 30 days after the adoption of this Resolution. Prepayment may also be made after the certification of the assessment or first installment thereof by paying to the Ciry Treasurer/County Auditor the entire amount of the assessment remaining unpaid with interest. In the case of a payment made before November 15, interest will be calculated through December 31 of the year in which payment is made. If payment is made after November 15, interest will be calculated through December 31 of the next succeeding year. 4. The City Administrator shall transmit to the County Auditor a certified duplicate of the attached assessment roll to be extended on the property tax lists of the County. Such assessment shall be collected and paid over in the same manner as other municipal taxes. Passed and adopted this 18~ day of July, 2011. ATTEST: John J.

The Mayor and City Administrator are authorized and directed to execute, on behalf of the City, such contract with Redstone Construction Co., Inc. as is approved by the City Attorney, for the completion of the Irving Avenue Area Street Rehabilitation according to the approved plans and specifications designed by City Council Resolution. 2. The City Administrator is authorized and directed to forthwith return to all bidders the deposits made with their bids upon execution of the contract specified above. Passed and adopted this 18~ day of July, 2011. John J. Dietz, Mayor ATTEST: Tina Allard, City Clerk C:\Documents and Settings\jmiller\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IES\2XCDIHAD\Accept%20bid%20authorize%20contract[1].doc In regards to the proposed assessment for the 2011 street improvement project, specifically 2"d Street from Railroad Dr. to the cul-de-sac east of Evans Avenue. I. As far as I'm concerned, I don't need a new street. 2. I'm not disputing the fact that the street is in rough shape, and needs to be repaired or replaced, but it seems to me that the city needs the street, more than I do. I watch city trucks all day long running past my house on the way to the ~, power plant on Railroad Drive. They drive up the road in what look like water tankers, along with the regular city trucks every day. 3.

Method Used: 50% of the assessment was on a "per unit" basis and 50% was based on lineal feet of street bordering each property. Whv this is unfair: 1. In manufacturing and warehousing, unlike retail, the amount of visibility due to road frontage or access has little to no effect on the success of your business. The only purpose a road serves is to allow access for your employees and for the transportation of your raw materials and products. This industrial park is virtually all manufacturing and warehousing, with a two small office buildings. 2. In the specific case of Dynetic Systems, we happen to be located on the inside of the curved corner of Industrial Blvd. and thus have a large amount of street exposure. Since our business is national in scope and highly technical in design, our success is not dependant on customers seeing or traveling to our place of business. We gain no benefit from this specific location in the industrial park on the inside of the turn. Since our product is small and high tech, we use standard UPS or FedEx step vans to ship our product and receive raw material. We rarely have semi-truck deliveries of raw material (est. 12/year). We always use our parking lot for loading/unloading. 3. By contrast, the business across the street from us relies almost exclusively on heavy trucks for delivery and shipment, and regularly uses the street in question rather than his parking lot to load heavy machinery on flatbeds using large forklifts. This business buys and resells used heavy machinery. Anytime you steer a solid tire of a stationary heavy vehicle such as a forklift, as is typical when loading a flatbed, a lot of stress is put on asphalt; and thus much of the damage to our street is probably due to this neighbors practices. 4. Another business further around the turn with more sales volume than our business has very little street since they are on the outside of a turn and only have a small wedge of street access for their driveway. They regularly get deliveries of steel and aluminum by flatbed. Our Proposal for a Fair Calculation Formula: Since the council seems opposed to using solely a "per unit" basis for calculating the assessment, we would propose that the 500 of the assessment currently based on lineal feet of street exposure be based instead on square feet of land owned by each property. This statistic should be easily obtainable by using plat maps and/or property tax assessments. Justification: In manufacturing and warehousing, potential earning power (and thus your ability to pay a special assessment) of your property is much more closely proportional to the amount of land you have and not how much street you have. The few offices in this park rely on methods other than visibility to generate foot traffic. Kurt Sadler Representative for the family that owns Dynetic Systems at 19128 Industrial Blvd
