EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed project will include:
• Reconstruction of Black Lake Road from Shoreline Drive (CSAH-15) to 2494
Black Lake road.
• Utility improvements in drainage.
• Sanitary and Watermain Utility improvements in Black Lake Road Right -of -Way
Proposed improvements include new concrete curb and gutter, new storm sewer and
sanitary castings and rings, storm sewer and structure improvements, sanitary sewer
rehabilitation, street reconstruction, water main, fittings, valves, hydrants, services and
appurtenant construction.
The estimated cost of improvements is $2,125,000. A portion of the project is eligible to
be assessed over a ten-year period. Rehabilitation of the existing sanitary sewer, water
main, and related appurtenances including replacement of castings, rings, valves, and
hydrants, and fittings and water main reconstruction and appurtenances may be paid for
in part by City Sewer and Water Funds. The City may be eligible for reimbursement for
I&I improvements through the MCES I&I Grant. What is not covered by the
aforementioned payment options will be covered by the City's General Obligation Funds
and Bonding.
1. PROJECT AREA CHARACTERISTICS
Black Lake Road
Rig ht of Way
The current road width varies through this corridor but is generally 16 feet
wide. State fire code guidance on minimum roadway width for two-way
traffic is 20 ft. There are areas of right of way encroachment by driveways
and landscaping of the residence along Black Lake Road see Figure 1.
The existing right of way appears to be 16 feet wide. As -built documents
indicate an additional 10-feet of permanent easement to the east side of
the roadway. Easements and right of way areas would need to be
confirmed during the feasibility of the project. Right of way acquisitions
may need to be conducted to achieve a width of 20 ft over the entirety of
Black Lake Road.

2. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
Sanitary Sewer and Water Main
The 8-inch Vitrified Clay Pipe (VCP) sanitary sewer and 6-inch Cast Iron
Pipe (CIP) water main exist along the approximate centerline of Black
Lake Road. Based on project records and sanitary sewer televising
reports, there have been minimal improvements made to the sanitary
sewer, water main and storm sewer systems since their installation in the
mid-1960s.
Due to the proximity of the lake and the limited space along Black Lake
Road, cured in place pipe (CIPP) is proposed for sanitary sewer
improvements. As it is a minimally invasive process that will limit the
disturbance to the property of the homeowners and traveling public. The
project will include cured in place manhole (Cl PM) to further limit I&I.
In order to maintain a minimal impact on property owners while improving
the water main, we recommended that the 6-inch CIP water main be
replaced using Pipe Bursting. Other trenchless technologies were
considered such as CIPP lining and Spray in Place Lining (SIPP) but were
deemed not adequate solutions for the following reasons. CIPP would
lower the flow capacity of the water main below the required levels for
proper fire protection. SIPP does not increase the structural integrity of the
existing pipe and therefore would not address the recent failures in the
water main along Black Lake Road. Other trenchless technologies for
watermain replacement will continue to be explored. The water main on
Black Lake Road is fed from three locations. The Pipe Bursting operation
will replace the CIP water main from Shoreline Drive (TH15) to House
number 2494 and approximately 1 Oft of the lines feeding the Black Lake
Road water main from Interlachen Road via Channel Road and Rose Hill
Drive. The project will include the replacement of gate valves and hydrants
in addition to corporation stops, services from main to property line, and
curb stop box and valves.
Minnesota Department of Health will conduct a plan review of the project
as it pertains to water main improvements.
City of Spring Pads - Feasibility Report FR-2
Street Construction
Black Lake Road
The existing roadway width varies throughout the corridor but is generally
16 feet wide. State fire code guidance on minimum roadway width for two-
way traffic is 20 ft. Therefore, road widening will be necessary. As
indicated in the ROW paragraph above, there are existing encroachments
along the corridor which will be considered in the final design of the
project. A typical road width of 20-feet from curb face to face will be the
goal but will be adjusted to 18-feet wide as necessary to avoid existing
obstacles.
The existing street section will be reconstructed with a new typical section
for 7-ton design. The new street section will include a ribbon concrete curb
and gutter.

Storm Drainage
Black Lake Road
The project will include installation of new storm sewer pipe and catch
basins at project low points. The new system will direct and capture flow
and address spread issues in high intensity rain events. Stormwater
treatment devices are proposed to aid in the removal of pollutants prior to
discharging to the lake. Revised MS4 requirements that go into effect for
the 2022 construction season require treatment of existing impervious
areas. Due to site constraints which include limited ROW areas, these
devices are intended to provide this required treatment.
The storm sewer will be designed to current. City standards for a five-year
storm event. No changes to the existing drainage patterns are proposed.
3. IMPACT OF PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
The proposed street improvements will not create new maintenance
issues for the Public Works staff. The City will work with affected property
owners and the Contractor to resolve any situations that may arise during
construction. Short term traffic delays, construction dust and noise, and
erosion may occur. Efforts to minimize these impacts include the
restriction of work hours and dust and erosion control measures included
in the project. Any disruptions that occur to existing yards, sprinkler
systems, and driveways will be restored.

STAFF MEMO
PUBLIC WORKS DISCUSSION &
OPTIONS
On Lake Minnetonka
1. BACKGROUND: At the May 3rd City Council meeting a motion to approve the Orono
public works proposal failed on a 3-2 vote. The Council discussed next steps and asked
staff to provide a list of options for the Council to move forward with.
2. DISCUSSION:
Option 1—Renew PeopleService Contract: Approve the proposed contract as presented
with a 5-year term that would expire 8/31/2026. If the City chooses not to renew, the
terms of the current contract specify that the City must notify PeopleService of our intent
to terminate the contract before Thursday, June 3' 2021.
Option 2—Automatic PeopleService Rollover: If no action is taken by the Council the
terms of the current agreement state that the contract will automatically renew for a 1-
year increment, which would cover services until 8131 /2022. It should be noted that
PeopleService have suggested that they would move to terminate the contract if the City
pursued this option.
Option 3—Alternate Public Works: In discussions with the City of Mound following
the most recent Council meeting, their City Manager noted that it would be highly
unlikely that they would be able to provide a contract with a similar scope of coverage at
a price point equal to or lower than the Orono proposal. Based on rough estimates and
personnel assumptions Eric believed that a more realistic proposal from Mound would
be approximately $20,000 higher than Orono's proposal.
Option 4—Reconsider Orono Public Works: Finally, the Council could reconsider the
Orono public works proposal. Due to generally established parliamentarian rules of
order, this could only be accomplished if one of the dissenting voters on the May 3`d
motion (Chase, Hoffman, or Horton) were to make a motion for reconsideration of the
proposal.

RE: Provision of Public Works Support by the City of Orono for the City of Spring park
Dear Mr. Tolsma,
1. Purpose. The purpose of this memorandum is to outline the framework, provide a revised
preliminary estimate and to get feedback from the City of Spring Park on the same.
2. Background. In December of 2019 Spring Park staff reached out to Orono staff to explore the
possibility of the City of Orono providing public works support to Spring Park. The City of Spring Park
currently contracts out their public works support. Their primary contract is with People Service which
expires in September of 2021. Orono provided an initial estimate in July 2020. Spring Park reached out
in December of 2020 requesting a revised estimate without snow and ice treatment included.
3. Framework To move the idea forward to a possible agreement we propose the following pleased
approach.

5. Service Levels and Types. To estimate the work effort required to provide service, we assessed the
types of service that would be required. Throughout the analysis we made the assumption that the level of
service provided to Spring Park would be the same as provided for the City of Orono. The types of
service include: routine day to day maintenance and operations service; emergency response service; and
special project/ capital improvement service. For the routine service we would provide an annual fined
rate. For special project services we will provide an hourly rate based on the employee and equipment
necessary to provide those services.
a. Routine Maintenance and Operations. Routine services would include those currently being
provided by the Spring Park People Service contract as well as street sweeping, pothole repair, and sewer
cleaning. A list of these services and estimated workload are attached. The labor and equipment costs
would be at an annual fixed cost as part of the agreement. Any supplies and materials would be passed
through or billed directly to Spring Park at cost.
b. Emergency/ Call Out Services. Orono would provide On -Call coverage to Spring Park. The
standby costs and up tol00 hours of overtime per year associated with this service would be included in
the base contract fee. Any call outs beyond the 100 hours per year will be billed on a case by case basis at
the Orono overtime rates. Any materials or contracted services would be passed through or billed directly
to Spring Park at cost.
c. Contracted Services. To optimize the service provided it would make most sense for the two
cities to use the same vendors for contracted services. Examples include: Park Mowing, Lift station
Annual Services, and Generator service. Orono staff proposes that as any of the Orono service contracts
reach its end/ renegotiation period we would coordinate with Spring Park to see if they would like to be
included in an amendment to the contract.
d. Special Project/ Capital Improvement Service will include providing support to Spring Park's
staff, engineers and contractors during the planning and execution of capital improvement projects and
major maintenance projects. Service will include providing access to sites, and providing adjustments
and operation of systems to facilitate construction.
e. Other Services. Other services that could be included would be facilities/custodial services for the
city hall, and utility billing support.
6. Work Flow Management and Tracldng. The City of Orono uses the Cartegraph software system
to perform asset management and public works workflow management. Spring Park will be required as
part of the agreement to use the system. It will facilitate communication and allow Orono to provide
Spring Park with more detailed reports of work effort and activities.
7. Cost Analysis. Our estimate for providing support to Spring Park is $ 191,000 per year. This
would cover the Routine maintenance and operations listed in Paragraph Sa, the On Call portion of
Paragraph5b and any asset management license and IT maintenance fees. This cost will be adjusted
annually based on the cost of living percentage increases in Orono's Public works employees Labor
Agreement.
a. Pass Though Costs. As described in S above any call outs beyond the 100 .hours included in the
base rate would be billed at the applicable Orono standard or overtime labor and equipment rates. Any
supplies and materials would be passed through or billed directly to Spring Park at cost. Any City
Engineer Work beyond administering the contract and basic capital programing advice would be billed at
the applicable labor rate. Any contracted work would be passed through. Any agreement would need to
identify the contracting threshold Orono public works would be authorized to make on Spring Park's
behalf in emergency situations (example afterhours Watermain break repairs).
b. Other Costs. To manage workflow and account for effort expended supporting Spring Park, the
city's assets will need to be added to Orono's GIS and asset management systems. Currently Orono uses
ESRI for GIS and Cartegraph for asset management with Bolton and Menk providing GIS tech consultant
services. Any implementation costs to get the GIS data transferred and formatted to work properly would
be passed through at cost. If Spring Park wishes to have access or other GIS capabilities then a separate
contract between Spring Park and Orono's GIS provider would be necessary with Spring Park
guaranteeing Access to the data to Orono for the asset and work management function to operate
properly.
8. Impact to Orono. Based on our initial assessment to provide the necessary support to Spring Park
the City of Orono would need to add one full time maintenance worker to the department as well as truck.
The Public Works Department would need additional administrative support to administer the agreement.
9. Transition. If the two cities agree to proceed, a period of preparation and transition will be required.
The City of Orono would need to complete hiring action for additional personnel, procurement of
equipment and familiarization training for all employees on Spring Paris's infrastructure.
Sincerely,
&2 V0—,�

between the parties other than one of independent contractors. No promises, statements,
representations, or other acts of either party shall be binding upon the other party, nor shall such
other party be liable to any third person for any such promises, statements, representations, or
