February 27, 2019 WIDSETH Proposal for Rasmussen Road Design SMITH City of Pequot Lakes Page 2 , NOLTING Previous Study: As presented in the previous Rasmussen Road Study, the four blocks of improvements will include curb and gutter, possible 'bump outs' at intersections, driveway aprons, a mix of parallel and diagonal parking, a new pavement/subgrade structure, sidewalks, decorative street lights, and possibly inclusion of trees or other landscape plantings. Utility Replacements: There is sanitary sewer(roughly 50+ years old) under the northerly two blocks. Before placing new street improvements on the surface, and after initial discussions with the City's utility staff, we are including efforts to remove and replace the old sanitary sewer. There is watermain (also roughly 50+ years old) under all four blocks. Before placing new street improvements on the surface, which might slightly lessen the cover over the watermain pipe, and after initial discussions with the City's utility staff, we are including efforts to remove and replace the old watermain. As electric, natural gas, and telecommunications utilities are in the City R/W"by permiY', we anticipate they will need to relocate (at their cost)for construction of these proposed improvements. However, these relocations can take unknown coordination and time. Funding: We understand that the abutting private property owners will not be specially assessed for these improvements, and the City will use turn back and general tax levy (and possibly bond)funds to pay for these improvements. WSN Scope of Work For the above improvements, following is our corresponding scope of services. 1. Conduct office research, and locate horizontal and vertical survey control. 2. Make a Gopher State One Call and preferably obtain field information from utilities. Sometimes they do not provide field locates, and if this is the case, we will have to obtain design maps from them. 3. Field survey all underground and above ground features within the area of anticipated improvements. 4. After improvements are laid out far enough along to identify R/W impacts, prepare R/W Maps/Sketch & Descriptions. If the City needs our assistance in acquiring R/W, we will identify the effort necessary at that time and provide those additional services as needed. 5. Soils borings and a geotechnical report are not part of our scope of work. In the past, more times than not, due to the generally granular soils in the area, the City has elected not to obtain soil borings and a geotechnical report. But, with the amount of anticipated trenching on this project, there would be positives in obtaining this information.
