May 29, 2013 Honorable Mayor and Council Members City of Pequot Lakes 4638 County Road 11 Pequot Lakes, MN 56472-0361 RE: Proposal for Engineering Services North Washington Street Pequot Lakes, MN Honorable Mayor and Council Members: Brainerd I Baxter 7804 Industrial Park Road PO Box 2720 Baxter, MN 56425-2720 Tel: 215-829-51 17 Fax: 218-5 29-2517 W idsethSmithNolting.com We know the Planning Commission and the City Council have had several ideas on the layout of a reconstruction of North Washington Street from Main Street (County State Aid Highway — CSAH — 11) to Oriole Street. Following is our best understanding of the level of improvements and our corresponding scope of services. We will be at your June 4 City Council meeting and look forward to your feedback so that we can adjust this proposal, if needed, and provide you the most economical and efficient level of service. • Research property corners, and locate horizontal and vertical survey control. • Make a Gopher State One Call and preferably obtain fieid information from utilities, but if not provided, obtain design maps from them. • Field survey all underground and above ground features to prepare a base map. • Remove and replace existing sanitary sewer (Public Works said existing watermain is okay to remain). If the City has televising, that will help minimize unknowns. • Washington Street's existing drainage — one grate inlet — connects to the County's CSAH 11 / Main Street storm sewer system. We will look into this in more detail, but we do not anticipate significant changes in impervious surface from before these improvements to after these improvements. We will talk to the County about the improvements, but we are not anticipating in our effort having to upsize the storm sewer system in CSAH 11 / Main Street. Should the County require this or something similar, we will re-visit the scope with the City Council. Design a new storm sewer system of catch basins and piping in Washington Street for the purposes of positive drainage — not necessarily based on a certain size storm. w�� OLi'ItvSa engineering archifecture ! land surveying environme�tal services
