REVIEWED BY
ACTION REQUESTED
Authorization to accept the quote received from Oliver Surveying & Engineering, Inc. in the amount of
$7,700.00 to complete topographic surveys for upcoming capital improvement projects as listed below.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In order to facilitate project development documents for upcoming projects listed in the Capital
Improvement Plan, we need to have topographic surveys completed this fall. The surveys will include
determining the existing right-of--way, easements, and physical features along the project corridors. These
surveys will allow for design work to begin on these projects over the coming months.
The projects included are as follows:
Business Center Drive Sidewalk -Listed in the Capital Improvement Plan for construction in 2012,
this project includes the construction on missing segments of sidewalk along Business. Center Drive
between Joplin Street and Orono Park.
Intersection Enhancements -Listed in the Capital Improvement Plan for construction in 2012, this
project includes adding a designated right hand turn lane for eastbound to southbound traffic at the
intersection of TH 169 and 193`d Avenue.
Eastern Area Trail and Mobility -This project is listed in the Capital Improvement Plan for
construction in 2014. The plan development timeframe for this project is expected to take two years due
to the project being funded with Federal Transportation Enhancement dollars. The topographic survey
will allow the ability to get started on the required process to meet the Federal process.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
We have solicited two quotes for the completion of the topographic surveys on these projects. The
quotes are summarized as follows:
Oliver Surveying & Engineering, Inc. $7,700.00
Bolton & Menk, Inc. $7,700.00
I'AIIEREi! B1'

Staff recommends approval of the quote submitted by Oliver Surveying & Engineering based on their
work experience and office location here in Elk River.
This work will be funded through the Street Improvement Reserve Fund and has been included in the
estimated budgets for each separate project.
