Title

APPROVE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT NO. C0006622 WITH ANOKA COUNTY FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF 125^TH AVENUE FROM LEXINGTON AVENUE TO OPAL STREET, CITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 18-09

Background

Anoka County has been working on a reconstruction of 125^th Avenue from Lexington Avenue to Opal Street for the past year.  The County is now prepared to move the project forward and is proposing reconstruction of the two lane rural section roadway with the addition of a signal system at the Lever Street intersection.

Anoka County Staff presented the proposed project to the City Council at their February 14, 2019 Workshop meeting.  They presented the project scope and the proposed schedule to construct the improvements during the summer of 2019.   

The estimated construction cost of the total project is just over $2.1 million.  Anoka County has prepared a JPA based on their cost participation policy.  The City is being asked to pay for a portion of construction cost and 8% construction engineering expenses. The total estimated construction cost to the City is $392,316.33.  Adding the 8% construction engineering to the City’s share of the construction cost brings Blaine’s estimated total to $423,701.64.  The funding source for this project will be developer escrows and State Aid.

The JPA also spells out future maintenance obligations of the City to include storm sewer and detention basins and a portion of the signal system.  The City of Blaine will pay for initial electrical installation for signal system and the ongoing electrical cost. 

Recommendation
