November 1, 2023 Honorable Mayor and Council Members City of Pequot Lakes 4638 Main Street Pequot Lakes, MN 56472 RE: Proposal for Engineering Services Study of the NW Area Pequot Lakes, MN Honorable Mayor and Council Members: WIDSETH Brainerd /Baxter 7804 Industrial Park Road Baxter MN 56425 218.829.5117 Baxter ®Widseth.com Widseth.com In response to your direction at the last Council Meeting, related to potential development, following is our proposal for engineering services on the above referenced item. Scooe of Improvements The general scope of our work will be a high -level ( "30,000 feet ") Study of possible future wastewater system, water system, stormwater management, and street network improvements. The Study area will be bounded by Main Street on the south, MN State Highway 371 on the east, County State Aid Highway 17 on the north, and Rasmussen Road on the west. This area is referred to as the "NW Area ". At your July 2021 meeting, the City Council approved a Study of improvements to Main Street (from the Hwy 371 western roundabout and then to the west) and Front Street (from Patriot Avenue down to Main Street). After approving the Study, the Council asked that we hold / not proceed with the Study until the City worked through possible improvements in the Trailside Park and Patriot Avenue corridor. With recent interest in the southern and eastern portion of the NW Area, it would be beneficial to proceed with both the 2021 Main and Front Study and this NW Area Study. The following are shown as discrete tasks. However, they are all inter - related and there is much back - and -forth between them. Wastewater System Using publicly available contour information (e.g. LiDAR), we will review where lift stations could be located. We would then layout a "backbone" gravity sanitary sewer collection system. Engineering I Architecture Surveying Environmental
