TH 169/101 AND TH 10 INTERCHANGE
PROJECT UPDATE
FROM:
DATE:
Per City Council direction, the City Engineer has been in touch
with the MnDOT office regarding City utilities being
incorporated into the Highway 169/101 and Highway 10
interchange construction project. Attached for your review are
two memos regarding this topic.
It has already been determined that storm drainage provisions
need to be incorporated into this project. The City Engineer
will continue to work on the design of the storm drainage needs.
e
What needs to be determined this summer is whether or not sewer
and water provisions need to be incorporated into the project.
In this regard, it may be appropriate to follow up on the
Mayor's comment regarding an east Highway 10 property owners
meeting to determine their desires regarding municipal
utilities. If such a meeting is held, we may only want to
concentrate on the larger landowners as they will be the
individuals most affected by the project. The 1991 and 1992
trunk sewer and water assessment rate of $3,800 per acre still
appears to be a valid amount in 1993. Projecting this amount
into 1996 dollars, it seems that the larger property owners
would be much more interested in commenting on the project than
the property owners that only have an acre or two. In addition
to the trunk costs for each property owner, the associated
expenses for the lateral sewer and water improvements will also
have to be taken into consideration and discussed at a property
owners meeting.
The attached material from the City Engineer indicates that the
City has sufficient time to move forward with its planning.
Our City plans will need to be determined by September, 1993.
In this regard, a July time frame for a property owner meeting
may be appropriate.
The attached material is offered for your information and no
action is necessary at this meeting. We will want to further
discuss this issue at our next CIP work session.

MnDOT'S TH 169/101 AND TH 10 INTERCHANGE PRqJECT
Dear Mr. Klaers:
We have been in contact with the Minnesota Department of Tr~sportation (MnDOT) and
discussed the TH 169/101 and TH 10 Interchange Project with fue Project Manager, Mr.
I
Timothy C. Johnson. !
MnDOT is beginning to prepare the plans and has a deadline of Octotier 1993 for completing the
plans with a letting in February 1994. Should the City of Elk River jdecide to add their utilities
to the MnDOT project, MnDOT would need plans from Maier Stewart & Associates, Inc., by
September 1993. Accompanying the submitted plans must be an ~ssurance in the form of a
resolution that the City will proceed with the project. It must also *.,equest MnDOT to add the
City's work to the plans and state that the City is willing to share m an appropriate portion of
the construction cost. i
Once the plans are reviewed and added to MnDOT's project, a cooPerative agreement will be
prepared between MnDOT and the City of Elk River. The coopera~ve agreement will be sent
to the City in January 1994 for Council approval.
MnDOT is mailing topography maps of the area so that the location f6r the storm sewer pipe and
other utility crossings is available for future use. We will be keeping in close contact with
MnDOT throughout our design and will keep you informed if aJj1y changes occur in their
schedule.
If you have any questions or require further information, please call.
Sincerely,
MAIER STEWART & ASSOCIATES, INC.

RE: TH 169/101 AND TH 10 INTERCHANGE
CITY OF ELK RIVER
Dear Mr. Johnson:
e
As you know from our telephone conversation on May 11, 1993, the City of Elk River would
like to add a few utility crossings to the Trunk Highway 169/101 and TH 10 Interchange Project.
The utility crossings include a large diameter storm sewer pipe from the railroad tracks east of
Trunk Highway 169 to the Mississippi River and casing pipes under Trunk Highway 10 for
future extension of sanitary sewer and watermain along Trunk Highway 10. The proposed storm
sewer pipe will be open cut on the north and south sides of Trunk Highway 10 and horizontally
bored under Trunk Highway 10.
It is our understanding that MnDOT has established the following schedule to accomplish a
letting date in February 1994:
MnDOT receives City of Elk River plans on utility crossing
Plans completed
Send Agreement to the City for Council approval
Letting
September 1993
October 1993
January 1994
February 1994
Accompanying the submitted plans shall be an assurance that the City will go ahead with the
project in the form of a resolution requesting MnDOT to add the City's work to the plans and
that the City is willing to share in the appropriate portion of the construction cost.
If our understanding of your process and how we will interface with it are incorrect, please let
me know.
Sincerely,
e
