Action Requested
▪ Adopt, by motion, Resolution 25-28 for the adoption of the special assessment roll.
▪ Adopt, by motion, award of bid to J.R. Ferche, Inc.
Background/Discussion
The Meadowwoods Village Homeowners Association (HOA) requested connecting their subdivision to the
city's sanitary sewer system due to aging and failures within their communal private drain field. Consistent
with the connection agreement signed by the HOA and approved by the Council on December 16, 2024, we
have proceeded with plan preparation and bidding for the work. Actions with this approval will award the
contract and formally commit the private property assessments to the 39 properties.
The project was recently publicly bid and we received five total bids. The lowest responsible bidder was J.R.
Ferche, Inc. at $858,995.00.
Based on the original petition and waiver amount being rolled into the final assessment, along with all incurred
costs, the total assessment per parcel is $39,366.31. The attached petition, waiver and agreement form
(unsigned version attached) will have been signed by all owners before the Monday City Council action.
Once approved, construction is expected to begin by July and finish before June 2026. Assessments will be
certified to the County Assessor by the end of 2026 for payment starting in 2027.
Financial Impact
All project costs will be rolled into the assessments and paid off by the benefiting property owners per the
approved resolution.
Mission/Policy/Goal
Support the growth and development of the community.

described in more detail on Exhibit A attached hereto.
The Owners further petition the City to levy a special assessment against each Property in

total cost of the Project, including all City administrative and other costs attributable to the Project,
in equal amounts to each of the 39 lots in the Subdivision, not to exceed $39,366.31 for each of
the 39 lots.
Owners acknowledge and agree: (1) the existing treatment system is not within compliance
of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) standards and regulations; (2) the MPCA
non-compliance has created a public health and safety risk; (3) that in lieu of replacing the existing

is reasonable and necessary to connect the Subdivision to the City sanitary sewer system and to
mitigate the public health and safety hazards for the Properties; (5) that the Cost of the Project as

of Owners; and (6) that Owners have been provided the opportunity to pay the Cost of the Project

Project and to assess the full amount of the Cost of the Project to the Properties.
