4.1. SR 07-17-2000-'ity of River MEMORANDUM Item # 4.1. TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Mayor and City Council Scott Harlicker, Senior Plann July 17, 2000 Northstar Corridor Update The Northstar Corridor Development Authority meeting held on July 6th included discussions on preliminary engineering and a demonstration train ride. The Authority received approval from the FTA to move forward to preliminary engineering. This is a significant approval that allows the Authority to move on to the next step in the development process. Attached is a copy of the development schedule based on the recent FTA approval. The project is scheduled to be completed by December 2004. A public information/demonstration train ride has been scheduled for Thursday, August 10th . Details of the demonstration run are currently being worked out. Each City will be allocated a specific number of tickets which they will disperse. Elk River has been tentatively allocated 40 tickets. The train will leave Elk River about 12:00 and will arrive in St. Cloud about 12:52. Buses will transport passengers back to Elk River. Details regarding where the train will stop in Elk River and event activities are currently being worked out. The Authority would like the train to stop at the proposed station site. On Wednesday, July 12th staff met with the consultants regarding land use around the proposed station site. Initial concept is for the station to be surrounded Iow density residential. By Iow density the consultants mean less than 8 units per acre. Staff will have a follow up meeting later this month to discuss their proposed plan. On Thursday, July 13th staff also met with the members of the project management team to discuss the proposed maintenance facility. They have identified an area south of the proposed station as the favored site for this facility. The facility will require about 20 acres of land and will include a building to wash the train cars and a building for cleaning and light maintenance. Some trains will be parked over night as Elk River will be the starting point for some of the morning trains. Trains will also be fueled at this site. Staff will be having follow up meetings after the project management team has had a chance to analyze the 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River, MN 55330 · TDD & Phone: (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425 additional information provided by staff. Attached is a map showing the preferred location on the south side of the track. They have also looked at a site on the north side of the track, a site further east near Jarvis street and several sites in west Elk River. The sites in west Elk River and near Jarvis Street are not under going further consideration because of various negative aspects. The team will also be looking at Big Lake as a possible site.

Additionally, the FTA has assigned an overall rating of "recommended" to the project. The attached chart depicts the FTA's project approval process. The recommended rating results from an evaluation of the Northstar Project based on criteria relating to the benefits and costs of the project, the transit supportive land use activities in the Corridor and the local financial commitment. The FTA's approval also includes the initiation of preliminary engineering for the proposed Hiawatha LRT connection to the Northstar Corridor. Action Requested: Information only. Northstar Corridor Development Authority 2100 3® Avenue, Anoka, Minnesota 55303-2265 (612) 323-5700 Fax: (612) 323-5682 CORRIBOR FoR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Ken Kaffine 612/346-6321 NORTHSTAR CORRIDOR AUTHORIZED TO ENTER PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING Federal Approval Is Major Step Forward For Commuter Rail Line ANOKA, Minn., June 28, 2000 -- The proposed commuter rail line between the St. Cloud/Rice area and dOwntown Minneapolis received approval by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to enter the project into the preliminary engineering phase. The move allows the Northstar Corridor Development Authority (NCDA) and the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) to continue planning for the proposed 80-mile commuter rail route. "This is one more major step forward for commuter rail in Minnesota," said NCDA Board Chair Betsy Wergin. "By giving the Northstar Corridor a 'recommended' rating and approval, the FTA is saying this project makes sense and should proceed. We've passed another important milestone on our way to making commuter rail a reality." Transit projects that receive federal funds must obtain approval from the FTA before entering preliminary engineering. Factors considered in the rating of projects include project readiness, overall project justification and local financial commitment. The preliminary engineering phase involves the engineering of various elements of the project, up to about 30 percent of completion. For the Northstar Corridor this phase will include engineering of the station sites, rail improvements, park-and-fide facilities, and train maintenance facilities. In addition to project engineering, preliminary engineering will define the impact of commuter rail on existing transportation services, such as buses; refine ridership estimates; develop a detailed financial plan including a 20-year cash flow analysis that covers capital and operating funds; and designate the project's management and operating entity. (more) Northstar Corridor Enters Preliminary Engineering Page 2 Preliminary engineering is expected to take about six months. No additional money is needed for this phase of the project. The NCDA has funding to complete preliminary engineering, begin final design and conclude the environmental review process. Following completion of the preliminary engineering phase, the NCDA will submit an application to the FTA for final design approval. That approval could be granted in early 2001. Gov. Jesse Ventura, Mn/DOT and the Metropolitan Council all have declared that the Northstar Corridor will be the state's first commuter rail line. The commuter rail line will mn on existing tracks along Highways 10 and 47 and will include a feeder bus system and park-and-ride lots. "We are very fortunate to have the continued support of the governor, Transportation Commissioner Tinklenberg, and other state and local officials," said NCDA Board member and Anoka County Commissioner Paul McCarron. "They recognize the value of the Northstar Corridor and how this project is an integral part of a comprehensive transportation plan for Minnesota. "Equally important, our congressional delegation, including Representatives Oberstar and Sabo and Senator Grams continue to champion this project in Congress and provide us with the needed federal funds to keep the Northstar Corridor rolling," added McCarron. The Northstar Corridor is the fastest growing region'in the state. The NCDA is a joint powers board made up of nearly 30 counties, cities, townships and regional railroad authorities along the corridor.

NORTH TAR MEMORANDUM June 28,2000 To: From: Subject: Northstar Corridor Development Authority Staff Agenda Item #4 RFPs for Preliminary Engineering of Stations, Maintenance Facility and Other Project Elements The conceptual plans for the Northstar Corridor commuter rail project, which are generally considered to be about 10 percent of the total design, are nearing completion. Preliminary engineering (PE), the next phase of project development, advances the design from the concept plans to about 30 percent of design completion. In May, the NCDA approved a contract with TKDA for the preliminary engineering of the track and signature improvements to the railroad. There are additional parts of preliminary engineering that must also be completed. The Project Management Team is requesting approval to issue a Request for Proposals for Preliminary Engineering for the Northstar Corridor commuter rail project from downtown Minneapolis to Rice. The Scope of Services would provide for development of PE documents for the 12 commuter rail stations, central control facility, maintenance facility, and layover facilities. Concept plans for system elements such as train operations, system safety and security, and general communications would be reviewed and refined. The work would include updated cost estimates as well as the various . detailed project management plans and other special studies and reports required by the Federal Transit Administration as prerequisites to begin the Final Design. Specifically, the NCDA must revise certain elements of the Project Management Plan, including a risk management plan. A separate RFP will likely be necessary for the risk management element of the Project Management Plan in order to secure the appropriate expertise. The work products expected from this effort would be combined with the PE from the track and signal engineering previously approved by NCDA. The combined package will be submitted to FTA together with a request to begin final design early in 2001. Additional design and engineering work for locomotives and coaches is not a part of this request. Staff is exploring alternative approaches to developing specifications for rolling stock. Northstar Corridor Development Authority 2100 3'" Avenue, Anoka. Minnesota 55303-2265 (612) 323-5700 Fax: (612) 323-5682 The estimated cost for this work is $1.0 million. Budgeted funds are available. The proposed contract completion date is March 1, 2001. Responses would be reviewed and a recommendation made to the Executive Committee on August 17 for contract approval by the NCDA Board on September 7. Action Requested: That the NCDA authorize the Project Management Team to issue an RFP(s) for preliminary engineering for commuter rail stations, central control facility, maintain facility, layover facility and special studies as described above.
