REVIEW:
REVIEWED BY CITY R
MANAGER: L~
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of a Cooperative Construction Agreement and an Advanced Construction
Agreement with the Minnesota Department of Transportation for construction of the Lyndale
Avenue Brid e over I-494.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Adopt the attached resolution accepting the Cooperative
Construction Agreement (Agreement No. 93084) and the Advanced
Construction Agreement (Agreement No. 93244) with Minnesota
Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) for the Lyndale Avenue
Bridge over 1-494.
II. BACKGROUND
`In order to advance the Lyndale Avenue Bridge Project, the City of Richfield.
needs to approve two agreements with the Minnesota. Department of
Transportation. The first agreement is a Cooperative Construction Agreement
that provides $5:5 million in state funds to the .Lyndale Avenue Bridge .Project,
offers Mn/DOT staff to perform construction inspection services and details
..maintenance responsibilities of Richfield, Bloomington and Mn/DOT once the
project is built. City staff has a serious concern about sharing the financial risk
0820 Advanced Construction Agreement
• if an unanticipated event occurs involving right of way or construction. City
.staff is working with Mn/DOT officials to resolve this concern: Staff hopes to
resolve this in the next few days and to have an updated version of the
agreement to distribute. at the August 20 Special City Council Meeting.
The second agreement deals with a delay in providing a portion of the federal
funds that have already been reserved for the Lyndale Avenue Bridge Project.
Most of the federal funding will be in place afithe contract award date in
September. However, $7.,500,000 (39%) of the federal funding is expected to
be available in 'March of 2009. The Advanced Construction. Agreement
assures that Mn/DOT will provide the funds when they become available. The
funds will not be needed for payment to the contractor until fate-in 2009 so the
delayed receipt of the federal funds should not require the City to provide any
interim funding. If for. some unknown reason the funds are needed, the
Agreement stipulates that the City will provide interim funding.
This situation has occurred because, in order to reserve any .unused federal
funds at the end of each fiscal year, the Minnesota Department of
Transportation (Mn/DOT) must return the unspent funds annually and request
that the funds be reauthorized by the Federal Government.
This process delays the receipt of,federal funds until usually March of the
• following year: In this case, the funds should be returned. to Minnesota in
March 2009. The attached agreement asks the City of Richfield to front the
money; until the :federal. funds. are reauthorized.
Delaying the construction of the Lyndale Avenue Bridge until 2009 will only
increase. costs due to inflation.
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. POLICY
• Replacement of the Lyndale Avenue Bridge was identified in the
City's 1997 Comprehensive Plan.
B. CRITICAL ISSUES
• The :project. needs "to be let for bidding soon to .maintain the
current schedule to reopen the replacement bridge by
November 2009.
C. FrNalvclaL
• Based on the Engineer's cost estimate, there are sufficient -
funds to pay for the construction ofithe Lyndale Avenue Bridge
• using federal funds for 80% of the cost and state funds for the
remaining 20% of .the cost. This assumes. that all right of way
2
negotiations adhere to the project's right of way budget
estimates.
• .There is approximately $210,000 in costs that are ineligible for
state-and federal funds. These costs will be paid using the City's
State Aid funds and other local funds.
• In the event the $7.5 million in federal funds are not received in
a timely manner, the City will draw first on its Municipal State
Aid funds (gas tax revenue) to reimburse itself. The City's
finance Manager was consulted on this matter.
D. .LEGAL
• The City attorney has reviewed the proposed agreements.
E. ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSIDERATIONS
• The Lyndale Avenue Bridge- Project has been approved by both
the Minnesota- Department of Transportation and the Federal
Highway Administration as meeting federal and state
environmental requirements for construction.
IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S~
• Council may choose to ask for modifications to the Cooperative
Construction Agreement to reduce or eliminate the City's financial risk
in the project. .. _,_
V. ATTACHMENTS
• Resolution
• State of Minnesota Draft Cooperative Construction Agreement
between thee. Department of Transportation, and the City of Richfield
