RE: TH 10/101/169 IMPROVEMENTS
MnDOT COORDINATION
Dear Mr. Klaers:
As you aware, we are continuing to work with MnDOT relative to adding city storm sewer
improvements to the TH 10/101/169 project. We believe we will be successful in getting
MnDOT away from the idea of three parallel storm sewer pipes and reduce that to two
larger or possibly one 72" diameter storm sewer pipe. We will know better in
approximately two weeks what the final design will be.
The process by which the city is allowed to add work to a MnDOT project is called a
Cooperative Construction Agreement Project. In order to initiate this process, MnDOT
rules require that the municipality submit a resolution to MnDOT requesting that the desired
improvements be included in the proposed project. The resolution must also indicate the
municipality's willingness to pay its fair share. We have prepared the attached draft
resolution for the City Council's consideration. Once adopted by the City Council, this will
be forwarded to MnDOT to begin the process of the preparation of a Cooperative
Agreement.
If you have any questions or would like additional information regarding this process, please
call.
Sincerely,
MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS
