ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of the approval of a resolution authorizing the City of Richfield's application and
agreement with Hennepin County for the 2017-2020 Municipal Recycling Grant Program.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Hennepin County requires a resolution authorizing processing of the 2017-2020 Municipal Recycling
Agreement. The agreement will be effective for three years, terminating on December 31, 2020.
A provision of the Agreement requires the City of Richfield to operate its recycling program in accordance
with the requirements described in the Hennepin County Residential Recycling Funding Policy.
These requirements involve the distribution of a recycling guide to residents and at least two
educational opportunities to promote recycling. These are the same requirements listed in the
original recycling grant and the City has performed these each year.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By motion: Approve a resolution authorizing the City of Richfield's application and agreement with
Hennepin County for the 2017-2020 Municipal Recycling Grant Program.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The City of Richfield receives a municipal recycling grant from Hennepin County each year to
coordinate recycling initiatives.
Because the City of Richfield does not directly contract recycling services for residents, 90% of
this grant is credited back to Richfield residents as a quarterly utility bill refund and 10% is used
by the City to cover administrative costs of the recycling program.
The City of Richfield's annual waste -tonnage report to Hennepin County serves as the application
for the program.
B. POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etcy
• City Council considers all contracts and agreements, such as the attached 2017-2020 Municipal
Recycling Agreement with Hennepin County.
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES:
• The current agreement with Hennepin County terminated on December 31, 2016, and approval by
resolution is necessary to renew the agreement for three more years and continue to receive the
annual grant.
D. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City of Richfield receives a grant in the amount of about $85,000 per year from Hennepin
County to perform recycling services.
Because the City has open recycling and does not contract recycling services, 90% of the
amount received from the Hennepin County Grant is returned to Richfield residents via a credit to
their utility bill and 10% covers the City's expense to distribute a recycling guide to residents and
to conduct education programs to promote recycling.
E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
• There are no legal considerations associated with the agreement.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS)
• The Council may reject the Agreement; however, the City will not receive the grant funds from Hennepin
County and stop reimbursement for recycling services to residents.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Richfield City Council of the City
of Richfield that:
1. The City of Richfield's waste tonnage report serves as its application to

Program.
2. The City Manager of the City of Richfield is hereby authorized and directed to

Contract No: A166418
RESIDENTIAL RECYCLING GRANT AGREEMENT
This Agreement is between the COUNTY OF HENNEPIN, STATE OF MINNESOTA, A-2300
Government Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55487 ("COUNTY"), on behalf of the Hennepin
County Environment and Energy Department, 701 Fourth Avenue South, Minneapolis,
Minnesota 55415-1600 ("DEPARTMENT") and the CITY OF RICHFIELD, 6700 Portland
Avenue South, Richfield, Minnesota 55423-2599 ("CITY").
The parties agree as follows:
TERM AND COST OF THE AGREEMENT
This Agreement shall commence upon execution and expire on December 31,
2020, unless cancelled or terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions herein.
Annual grant payments shall be calculated as set forth in Section 3.
2. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED
The CITY shall apply for annual grant funds and operate its Recycling Program as more
fully described in Attachment A, the Residential Recycling Funding Policy.
3. ALLOCATION OF FUNDS
The COUNTY will distribute to Hennepin County municipalities 100% of SCORE funds
that the COUNTY receives from the state. SCORE funds will be dedicated to two
different purposes: 1) curbside recycling and 2) curbside organics recycling. SCORE
funds are based on revenue received by the State of Minnesota from the solid waste
management (SWM) tax on garbage services. SCORE funds are subject to change based
on the SWM tax revenue received by the state and funds allocated by the legislature.
Funds distributed to municipalities for the current calendar year will be based on SCORE
funds received by the COUNTY in the state's corresponding fiscal year.
Reacling
The following formula will be utilized to determine a CITY'S recycling SCORE grant
each year.
Percent of SCORE funds allocated to curbside recycling:
2017
80%
2018
70%
2019
60%
2020
50%
If the formula above results in the CITY receiving a grant where the dollar amount per
participating household is greater than $25 per year, then a cap will apply. The funding
cap per participating household is $25 per year. The most the COUNTY will grant a
CITY is $25 per participating household per year. If funds are left over because of the
cap, those funds will carry over into the following year's SCORE funds.
Eligible residential households are defined as single family through eight-plex residential
buildings or other residential buildings where the household is signed up for organics
service and the household sets out its own container with organics for curbside collection.
The number of eligible households will be determined by counting the number of eligible
households on September 1 of each funding year. The CITY will report the number in the
application for funding.
The COUNTY will make one organics grant payment to the CITY each year. The
payment will be made after the COUNTY receives the application and confirms that the
CITY meets the requirements of the Residential Recycling Funding Policy.
4. PROFESSIONAL CREDENTIALS -
INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
INDEPENDENT CITY
CITY shall select the means, method, and manner of performing the services. Nothing is
intended nor should be construed as creating or establishing the relationship of a
partnership or a joint venture between the parties or as constituting CITY as the agent,
representative, or employee of COUNTY for any purpose. CITY is and shall remain an
independent contractor for all services performed under this Agreement. CITY shall
secure at its own expense all personnel required in performing services under this
.Agreement. CITY's personnel and/or subcontractors engaged to perform any work or
services required by this Agreement will have no contractual relationship with COUNTY
and will not be considered employees of COUNTY. COUNTY shall not be responsible
for any claims that arise out of employment or alleged employment under the Minnesota
Unemployment Insurance Law or Minnesota Statutes, chapter 176 (which may be
referred to as the "Workers' Compensation Act"), on behalf of any personnel, including,
without limitation, claims of discrimination against CITY, its officers, agents,
contractors, or employees. Such personnel or other persons shall neither accrue nor be
entitled to any compensation, rights, or benefits of any kind from COUNTY, including,
without limitation, tenure rights, medical and hospital care, sick and vacation leave,
workers' compensation, unemployment compensation, disability, severance pay, and
retirement benefits.
ki
3. Professional Liability—Per Claim 1,500,000
Aggregate 2,000,000
The professional liability insurance must be
maintained continuously for a period of two years
after the expiration, cancellation or termination of
this Agreement.
B. An umbrella or excess policy is an acceptable method to provide the required
commercial general insurance coverage.
The above establishes minimum insurance requirements. It is the sole
responsibility of CITY to determine the need for and to procure additional
insurance which may be needed in connection with this Agreement. Upon written
request, CITY shall promptly submit copies of insurance policies to COUNTY.
CITY shall not commence work until it has obtained required insurance and filed
with COUNTY a properly executed Certificate of Insurance establishing
compliance. The certificate(s) must name Hennepin County as the certificate
holder, and as an additional insured for the commercial general liability coverage
required herein. A self-insured retention (SIR) applicable to the commercial
liability coverage is not acceptable, unless expressly agreed to in writing by
COUNTY. If the certificate form contains a certificate holder notification
provision, the certificate shall state that the insurer will endeavor to mail to
COUNTY thirty (30) day prior written notice in the event of
cancellation/termination of any described policies. If CITY receives notice of
cancellation/termination from an insurer, CITY shall fax or email a copy of the
notice to COUNTY within two business days.
CITY shall furnish to COUNTY updated certificates during the term of this
Agreement as insurance policies expire. If CITY fails to furnish proof of
insurance coverages, COUNTY may withhold payments and/or pursue any other
right or remedy allowed under contract, law, equity, and/or statute.
CITY waives all rights against COUNTY, its officials, officers, agents,
volunteers, and employees for recovery of damages to the extent that damages are
covered by insurance of CITY.
8. DUTY TO NOTIFY
CITY shall promptly notify COUNTY of any claim, action, cause of action or litigation
brought against CITY, its employees, officers, agents or
subcontractors, which arises out of the services described in this Agreement.
CITY shall also notify COUNTY whenever CITY has a reasonable basis for believing
that CITY and/or its employees, officers, agents or subcontractors, and/or COUNTY,
might become the subject of a claim, action, cause of action, administrative action,
its liabilities and obligations under the Agreement. Further, CITY shall be fully
responsible for the acts, omissions, and failure of its subcontractors in the
performance of the specified contractual services, and of person(s) directly or
indirectly employed by subcontractors. Contracts between CITY and each
subcontractor shall require that the subcontractor's services be performed in
accordance with this Agreement. CITY shall make contracts between CITY and
subcontractors available upon request. For clarification and not limitation of
Section 15E, none of the following constitutes assent by COUNTY to a contract
between CITY and a subcontractor, or a waiver or release by COUNTY of
CITY's full compliance with the requirements of this Section: (1) COUNTY's
request or lack of request for contracts between CITY and subcontractors; (2)
COUNTY's review, extent of review or lack of review of any such contracts; or
(3) COUNTY's statements or actions or omissions regarding such contracts.
D. As required by Minnesota Statutes section 471.425, subd. 4a, CONTRACTOR
shall pay any subcontractor within ten (1 d) days of CONTRACTOR's receipt of
payment from COUNTY for undisputed services provided by the subcontractor,
and CONTRACTOR shall comply with all other provisions of that statute.
12. MERGER MODIFICATION AND SEVERABILITY
A. The entire Agreement between the parties is contained herein and supersedes all
oral agreements and negotiations between the parties relating to the subject
matter. All items that are referenced or that are attached are incorporated and
made a part of this Agreement. If there is any conflict between the terms of this
Agreement and referenced or attached items, the terms of this Agreement shall
prevail.
B. Any alterations, variations or modifications of the provisions of this Agreement
shall only be valid when they have been reduced to writing as an amendment to
this Agreement signed by the parties. Except as expressly provided, the
substantive legal terms contained in this Agreement including but not limited to
Indemnification, Insurance, Merger, Modification and Severability, Default and
Cancellation/Termination or Minnesota Law Governs may not be altered, varied,
modified or waived by any change order, implementation plan, scope of work,
development specification or other development process or document.
C. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
remaining provisions will not be affected.
13. DEFAULT AND CANCELLATION/TERMINATION
A. If CITY fails to perform any of the provisions of this Agreement, fails to
administer the work so as to endanger the performance of the Agreement or
otherwise breaches or fails to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, it
7
E. COUNTY's failure to insist upon strict performance of any provision or to
exercise any right under this Agreement shall not be deemed a relinquishment or
waiver of the same, unless consented to in writing. Such consent shall not
constitute a general waiver or relinquishment throughout the entire term of the
Agreement.
F. This Agreement may be canceled/terminated with or without cause by either party
upon thirty (30) day written notice.
G. If this Agreement expires or is cancelled or terminated, with or without cause, by
either party, at any time, CITY shall not be entitled to any payment, fees or other
monies except for payments duly invoiced for then -delivered and accepted
deliverables/milestones pursuant to this Agreement. In the event CITY has
performed work toward a deliverable that COUNTY has not accepted at the time
of expiration, cancellation or termination, CITY shall not be entitled to any
payment for said work including but not limited to incurred costs of performance,
termination expenses, profit on the work performed, other costs founded on
termination for convenience theories or any other payments, fees, costs or
expenses not expressly set forth in this Agreement.
H. Upon written notice, COUNTY may immediately suspend or cancel/terminate this
Agreement in the event any of the following occur: (i) COUNTY does not obtain
anticipated funding from an outside source for this project; (ii) funding for this
project from an outside source is withdrawn, frozen, shut down, is otherwise
made unavailable or COUNTY loses the outside funding for any other reason; or
(iii) COUNTY determines, in its sole discretion, that funding is, or has become,
insufficient. COUNTY is not obligated to pay for any services that are provided
or costs or expenses or obligations incurred or encumbered after the notice and
effective date of the suspension or cancellation/termination. In the event
COUNTY suspends, cancels or terminates this Agreement pursuant to this
paragraph, COUNTY shall pay any amount due and payable prior to the notice of
suspension or cancellation/termination except that COUNTY shall not be
obligated to pay any amount as or for penalties, early termination fees, charges,
time and materials for services not then performed, costs, expenses or profits on
work done.
1. CITY has an affirmative obligation, upon written notice by COUNTY that this
Agreement may be suspended or cancelled/terminated, to follow reasonable
directions by COUNTY, or absent directions by COUNTY, to exercise a fiduciary
obligation to COUNTY, before incurring or making further costs, expenses,
obligations or encumbrances arising out of or related to this Agreement.

state and funds allocated by the legislature. funds distributed to municipalities for the current
calendar year will be based on SCORE funds received by the county in the state's corresponding
fiscal year.
II. Recycling
A. Allocation of Funds
The following formula will be utilized to determine a city's recycling SCORE grant each year.
Percent of SCORE funds allocated to curbside recycling:
2017
80%
2018

to the city
Eligible residential households are defined as single family through eight-plex residential
buildings or other residential buildings where each housing unit sets out its own recycling
container for curbside collection. The number of eligible households will be determined by
counting the number of eligible households on January 1 of each funding year. The city will
report the number in its application for funding.
B. Application for Funding
Each municipality must complete an annual grant application by February 15 to receive funding
for that year. The application consists of a web -based report and a planning document provided
by the county. The web -based report asks for contract, program, tonnage, and financial
r]
• Cereal, cracker, pasta, cake mix, shoe, gift, and electronics boxes;
• Boxes from toothpaste, medications and other toiletries;
• Magazines and catalogs;
• Aseptic and gable -topped containers; and
• Plastic bottles and containers, #1— Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET, PETE), #2 High
Density Polyethylene (HDPE), #4 — Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and #5 —
Polypropylene (PP) plastic bottles, except those that previously contained hazardous
materials or motor oil.
The county may add materials to this list and require municipalities to begin collection within
one year of receiving notification from the county. Municipalities will notify the county if
materials not found on this list will be collected.
2. Education and Outreach
The partnership between the county and municipalities has been highly effective in
educating residents and motivating behavior change. In order to continue this partnership
and increase these efforts, program activities of municipalities must be coordinated with
county and regional efforts. Municipalities must adhere to the following requirements:
a. Use county terminology when describing recycling guidelines, including the
description of materials accepted and not accepted, preparation guidelines, and
promotional materials;
b. Use images provided by the county or the Solid Waste Management Coordinating
Board (SWMCB) if using images of recyclables;
c. Provide recycling information on the city's website, including materials accepted and
not accepted, a recycling calendar, and links to county resources;
d. Mail a recycling guide to residents each year using a template developed jointly with
the county. The county will design and print the guide. If a municipality does not use
the template produced by the county, the municipality may develop its own guide at
the municipality's expense, but it must be approved by the county. If the municipality
relies on the hauler to provide the recycling guide, this guide requires approval by
the county.
e. Complete two educational activities from'a menu of options developed by the
cou nty.

If the formula above results in cities receiving grants where the dollar amount per participating
household is greater than $25 per year, then a cap will apply. The funding cap per participating
household is $25 per year. The most the county will grant a city is $25 per participating
household per year. If funds are left over because of the cap, those funds will carry over into the
following year's SCORE funds.
Eligible residential households are defined as single family through eight-plex residential
buildings or other residential buildings where the household is signed up for organics service
and the household sets out its own container with organics for curbside collection. The number
of eligible households will be determined by counting the number of eligible households on
September 1 of each funding year. The city will report the number in the application for funding.
B. Application for Funds
Each municipality must complete an annual application provided by the county by September 1
to receive funding. As a part of the application, a city must submit the number of households
signed up for and receiving curbside organics service.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of the approval of a resolution requesting a MnDOT State Aid Design Element Variance
for the Richfield Parkway South project.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Richfield Parkway South extension from 66th Street to 68th Street, to be built as a component of
surrounding redevelopment, is proposed to be constructed with a 25 mph design speed to facilitate the
redevelopment. State Aid rules require a minimum 30 mph design speed; however, exceptions may be made
for the following:
• the road includes on -street bike facilities, or
• the design is granted a State Aid Design Element Variance.
Although State Aid funds will not be used to fund the construction of the Parkway extension, the City may wish
to expend State Aid money on the roadway in the future. Richfield Parkway will not include on -street bike
facilities, so the City is applying for a Design Element Variance. As part of the variance application, the City
is required to submit a resolution requesting the lower design speed.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Approve a resolution requesting a State Aid Design Element Variance from the Minnesota
Department of Transportation for the Richfield Parkway South project.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
• The City of Richfield has planned Richfield Parkway with the intent, as documented by numerous
planning and engineering studies and documents, to create a low -speed multimodal parkway
within the city limits, generally described as from 62nd Street to 77th Street.
• The proposed project would construct Richfield Parkway between the roundabout at 66th Street
and 68th Street.
• Establishment of higher design speed roadway curvature would encourage a higher traveling
speed of vehicles in the presence of pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit.
• The City of Richfield has removed exsting residences for purposes of higher density
redevelopment designed to buffer airport noise from adjacent neighborhoods.
• Establishment of higher design speed roadway curvature would negatively impact the ability of
redevelopment to meet the necessary economic thresholds to move forward.
B. POLICIES (resolutions. ordinances. reaulations. statutes. etc):
• Construction of Richfield Parkway is identified in the Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 6 -
Transportation).
• City Council selected a future alignment along18th Avenue for Richfield Parkway South in the fall
of 2016.
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES:
• The variance application is due to the MnDOT State Aid office by March 1
• Roadway construction is proposed to begin this summer.
D. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
• Adopting the proposed resolution will not have any financial impact to the City.
• The design variance is required for the City to use State Aid funds on future work of this segment
of Richfield Parkway.
E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
• The City Attorney will be available to answer questions.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S):
• None

construction of runway 17-35; and
WHEREAS, establishment of higher design speed roadway curvature would impact the
ability of future redevelopment to meet density and noise buffer goals; and
WHEREAS, establishment of higher design speed roadway curvature would encourage a
higher traveling speed of vehicles in the presence of pedestrians, bicyclists and transit, and
specifically at a regional trail location where Three Rivers Park District intends to accommodate
significant pedestrian and bicycle crossing volumes; and
WHEREAS, the intent of Richfield Parkway, as documented by numerous planning and
engineering studies and documents, is to create a low -speed multimodal parkway within the city

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of the first reading of an ordinance amending City Code Subsection 710.23 related to
private water supplies and cross -connection control and schedule a second reading for March 28,
2017.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Minnesota State Statute dictates that no connection can be made between the public potable water supply and
any system, equipment, or device that may serve as a source of contamination, unless protected by a
properly installed and maintained backflow preventer.
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) recommends that public water suppliers initiate and administer a
cross connection program that involves inspecting private properties, maintaining an inventory of testable
backflow devices, and enforcing requirements for annual testing of backflow devices. The cross connection
program is intended to protect the health of public water customers.
Staff recommends implementing an ordinance to aid in the administration of a cross connection program.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Approve the first reading of an ordinance amending City Code Subsection 710.23 related to
private water supplies and cross -connection control and schedule a second reading for March 28,
2017.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
• A local cross connection ordinance is the first step in implementing a cross connection program.
• The current ordinance relating to private water connections does not address necessary
inspections and required testing of backflow devices.
• Staff has actively monitored cross connections and backflow devices for many years; however,
with new state regulations it will become increasingly difficult to administer a cross connection
program without a local ordinance.
• Other cities that have a cross connection ordinance include, but are not limited to:
o Bloomington
• Eagan
• Woodbury
• Rochester
B. POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etch
• The City Charter requires a first and second reading of ordinances.
• A public hearing is not required unless a separate statute, charter provision, or ordinance requires
it.
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES:
• Approval at this meeting will provide for staff to begin the cross connection program as soon as
possible.
D. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
• Staff does not anticipate the cross connection program will have a financial impact on water
operations.
E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
• The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed ordinance and will be available to answer questions.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SUBSECTION 710.23 OF THE
RICHFIELD CODE OF ORDINANCES ADDING NEW REGULATIONS
FOR CROSS CONNECTIONS AND BACKFLOW PREVENTION
THE CITY OF RICHFIELD DOES ORDAIN:
Section 1. Subsection 710.23 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Richfield is hereby
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
710.23. — Cross connections and backflow prevention.
Subdivision 1. Purpose. The purpose of this subsection is to protect the health of water
customers and the City's potable water supply.
Subd. 2. Definition. For the purposes of this subsection, "cross connection" shall consist
of a connection or arrangement, physical or otherwise, between the City's water supply system
and any plumbing fixture, tank, receptor, equipment, or other device, through which it may be
possible for non -potable, used, unclean, polluted, or contaminated water, or any other substances
to enter into any part of the City's water supply system under any condition.
Subd. 3. General rule. Cross connections between the City's water supply system and
other systems or equipment are prohibited, except when and where, as approved by the City of
Richfield, suitable backflow prevention devices are installed, tested, and maintained in
accordance with this subsection to ensure proper operation on a continuing basis. Backflow
prevention devices shall be owned, tested, and maintained in working condition by the owner or
occupant of the premises being served.
Subd. 4. Installation, maintenance, testing. The installation, maintenance, and testing of
backflow prevention devices shall be conducted in accordance with the Minnesota State
Plumbing Code. Testing must be performed by a state certified backflow tester. All internal
maintenance to any backflow prevention devices shall be performed by a state certified backflow
prevention tester. Test results shall be furnished to the City. The City's annual fee for
administering a backflow preventer testing program shall be as established, from time to time, by
resolution of the City Council.
Subd. 5. Permit required. Prior to the installation of or repair to any private water line,
system, apparatus, or equipment that is connected to or has a cross connection with the City's
water supply system, the property owner or occupant must obtain a permit pursuant to subsection
400.05, subdivision 2 of this code.
Subd. 6. Inspection and improvements.
(a) All properties connected to the City's water supply system shall be subject to annual
inspection by a City -designated inspector for the purpose of determining whether
495044v2 DTA RC 160-4
cross connection(s) exist, and if so, compliance with this subsection. The property
owner or occupant shall allow the City -designated inspector onto the property and
into any structure necessary to complete the inspection. The inspection shall occur
within 30 days of written notice from the City that a compliance inspection is
required. The compliance inspection shall occur at a time and in a manner as
reasonably determined by the City -designated inspector. If the property owner or
occupant fails to permit or have completed a compliance inspection as provided
herein, the City may apply to the district court for an appropriate administrative
search warrant authorizing the City -designated inspector to enter onto the property to
conduct said inspection.
(b) In the event that a backflow prevention device is required on the property and said
device is not present or is not otherwise in compliance with this subsection, the
installation or maintenance of a proper backflow prevention device shall be
completed within 30 days of the City's written notice of noncompliance to the
property owner or occupant. Following the written notice of noncompliance, a second
compliance inspection shall be completed upon indication by the property owner or
occupant of compliance with this subsection for the purpose of determining whether
the necessary corrections have been made. In no event shall the second inspection be
more than 60 days following the City's written notice of noncompliance related
thereto.
Subd. 7. Noncompliance. In addition to any other penalty authorized by federal, state,
or local law, the failure to comply with any of the provisions of this subsection shall be cause to
discontinue water service in accordance with subsection 710.05 of this code.
Section 2. This Ordinance will be effective in accordance with Section 3.09 of the City
Charter.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of the approval of the first reading of an ordinance regulating trapping, snaring, hawking
and falconry in the City of Richfield and schedule a second reading of the ordinance for March 14,
2017.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Recent discussions with DNR Conservation Officers in relation to inquiries from citizens have highlighted the
need for the City to have a local ordinance relating to the trapping of animals on public and private property
with the City. The proposed Ordinance would prohibit the trapping of animals with leg hold traps and snares
and would prohibit the use of birds of prey to hunt or kill other animals. The ordinance provides certain
exceptions for live traps, the trapping of harmful rodents or pests, trapping done by government agencies, and
trapping done by scientists in their work studying wildlife.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Approve the first reading of an ordinance regulating trapping, snaring, hawking and
falconry in the City of Richfield and schedule a second reading of the ordinance for March 14, 2017.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
• Information contained in the Executive Summary.
B. POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etcy
• State Statute and DNR Rules regulate trapping and hunting activities, but the DNR has recently
advised that local regulation is necessary to prohibit/regulate these activities beyond the seasons,
licenses, and trapping regulations they enforce.
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES:
• Timely approval of this ordinance would prevent traps and snares being set on public or private
property.
D. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
• None
E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
• The Code Enforcement Staff and the City Attorney has collaborated on the creation of this draft
ordinance.
• Because this draft ordinance also affects city park land, the draft was presented to the Community
Services Commission on January 17, 2017. The Community Services Commission approved a
resolution to support the draft ordinance.
• Woodlake Nature Center advises citizens on wildlife conflict issues and offers a program where
live traps are rented to citizens at a fee to assist with animals causing damage to properties
and the draft ordinance would allow that program to continue.
• State Statute allows property owners to trap and remove wildlife causing damage to their property.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(Sl:
• The Council may decide not to approve of this ordinance, which could lead to possible injury to pets or
humans by traps and snares set on public or private property.

hazardous devices and to protect domesticated animals, pets and non -nuisance wildlife from
damage and destruction that may result from unregulated trapping, snaring, hawking or falconry.
Subd. 2. Definitions. The words and phrases used in this ordinance shall have the meanings
ascribed to them as follows:
(a) Leg Hold. A device made of steel, metal, or other rigid material, consisting of two
(2) jaws that lie horizontally to form a circle or circular shape when the trap is set, or
trap that is similar to the above in design and that is intended to catch and secure an

Trapping Ordinance
Code Compliance Officer O'Brien said that there had been inquiries about trapping
animals in Richfield and the City's regulations. He said that staff discovered that
trapping wasn't explicitly addressed, so they researched wording from other public
entities and made revisions to the City Code, prohibiting the trapping of animals within
the City of Richfield, unless by authorized personnel for the purpose of controlling
overpopulation and preventing damage to natural areas or on private property, with
permission from the owner, for the same reasons or live trapping for release within a
day.
He said that Richfield animal control primarily deals with domestic animal control.
Smieja mentioned that coyotes have been seen in Richfield; O'Brien said that they have
been sighted in Richfield for decades and their activity and prevalence tends to go up
and down over time and they will always be there; it would be ineffective to reduce their
numbers, as more would move in, but there are ways to discourage them from coming
onto your property.
Topitzhofer said that having traps in a park is too dangerous for visitors. O'Brien said
that this would prohibit trapping for the purpose of selling pelts or just recreationally.
Engeldinger said that it's a positive thing to see wildlife around.
Engeldinger moved, seconded by Felgate, to recommend Council approval of the
ordinance amendment.
Approved, ayes all.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of a first reading of an interim ordinance modifying regulations related to temporary
signs along 66th Street.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
With reconstruction of 66th Street now underway, the City has been contacted by business owners
requesting permission to install temporary signs beyond what are ordinarily permitted. During construction,
business owners want to emphasize that they are open and clearly identify access points. Under current sign
regulations, temporary signs are permitted in 28 -day increments, with a maxmum of 4 permits per business,
per calendar year, and carry a fee of $35 per application. The Zoning Ordinance also restricts the types of
signs that may be displayed, prohibiting all portable signs and banners not attached to a structure (including
"flag" or "sail" signs.)
To address businesses' concerns, staff is recommending adoption of an Interim Ordinance that would loosen
certain restrictions on temporary signs for properties adjacent to 66th Street, between Xerxes Avenue and
16th Avenue. Proposed changes to current sign regulations (Zoning Code Section 549) include:
• Extending the 28 -day limitation, instead allowing temporary signs to be displayed for up to one
year.
• Waiving the $35 application fee.
• Waiving the requirement that all signs maintain a 5 -foot setback from property lines.
• Waiving the requirement that banner signs be attached to a structure (typically a building or fence),
which will allow greater use of banners and "flag" or "sail" types of signs.
For the duration of the Interim Ordinance, all other regulations of Zoning Code Section 549 shall remain in
place, including:
• A Sign Permit Application Form must be submitted to the Community Development Department before
any signs will be approved.
• No more than one banner or other temporary sign will be allowed per business or tenant, per building
frontage.
• Signs shall not be placed in the public right-of-way.
• All signs prohibited under Section 549.21, Subdivision 2, shall remain prohibited, including portable
signs and outdoor advertising signs, also known as "off -premise signs", which advertise a product or
business that is not available on the same premises as the sign.
State Law allows cities to adopt interim ordinances for the purposes of protecting the planning process and
the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens, for a period not to exceed one year. Unless earlier repealed by
the City Council, this Interim Ordinance shall remain in effect for one year from the date of passage of a
second reading. During this time, City staff will study and propose changes to City Ordinances regulating
signs, for the purposes of accommodating businesses throughout the remainder of 66th Street construction
and for future road construction projects.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Conduct a first reading of an interim ordinance modifying regulations related to temporary
signs along 66th Street and schedule a public hearing and second reading of the ordinance for March
14, 2017.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
• None
B. POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etcy
Minnesota Statutes Section 462.355 allows cities to adopt interim ordinances for the purposes of
protecting the planning process and the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens.
The City Attorney agrees that the adoption of an interim ordinance related to temporary signs
would be appropriate while the City studies the issue and contemplates changes to sign
ordinances.
This first reading is an administrative requirement. Approval of the first reading does not obligate
the Council to approve the Ordinance upon second reading.
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES:
The City has received inquires from business owners requesting expanded temporary signage
during 66th Street construction. Adopting an interim ordinance will allow these requests to move
forward immediately while the issue is studied further.
The proposed interim ordinance would remain in effect for one year. The City Council can repeal
the interim ordinance at an earlier time if studies have been completed and necessary ordinance
changes adopted.

CITY OF RICHFIELD
STATE OF MINNESOTA
ORDINANCE NO.
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE REGULATING TEMPORARY SIGNS
AND DIRECTING THAT A PLANNING STUDY BE CONDUCTED
THE CITY OF RICHFIELD DOES ORDAIN:
Section 1. Background.
1.01. The City of Richfield regulates the installation of permanent and temporary
signs on private property throughout the City, as described in Section 549 of
the Zoning Code.
1.02. The City requires that permit applications be submitted in order to grant
approval of any signs over 6 square feet in area. Temporary sign permits
are issued in 28 -day increments, with a maximum of 4 permits per business,
per calendar year. Temporary sign permits carry an application fee of $35
per 28 -day period. The City restricts the types of signs that may be
displayed, prohibiting all portable signs and banners not attached to a
structure (including "flag" or "sail" signs.) The City requires that all signs be
set back a minimum of 5 feet from property lines.
1.03. Reconstruction of 66th Street is currently underway and heavy construction
work will continue through the 2018 construction season. This work will
disrupt regular traffic patterns along 66th Street and inconvenience area
businesses and their customers.
1.04. The City has received inquiries from business owners requesting permission
to install temporary signs beyond what are ordinarily permitted. During
construction, business owners want to emphasize that they are open and
clearly identify access points.
1.05. The public interest will be harmed if businesses along 66th Street are
inaccessible to customers.
1.06. The City Council has determined a need to undertake a study to review
Section 549 of the Zoning Ordinance (Sign Regulations) as it pertains to the
use of temporary signs during major road construction projects.
1.07. Upon completion of the study, the City Council, together with such city
commissions as the City Council deems appropriate or as may be required
by law, will consider the advisability of amending certain official controls.
1.08. Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.355, Subdivision 4 allows the City to adopt
an interim ordinance for the purpose of protecting the planning process and
the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens.
Sec. 2. Findings.
2.01 The City Council finds that it is necessary to conduct planning studies to
determine the appropriate permitting and land use controls that should apply
to temporary signs during major roadway construction projects and to
protect the planning process and the health, safety, and welfare of its
citizens.
2.02 The purpose of the studies to be conducted includes, but is not limited to
determining the appropriate permitting and licensing standards, and land
use and development standards that should apply to temporary signs and
determining the appropriate changes, if any, that should be made to City
Ordinances.
2.03 The City Council finds that there is a need to adopt an Interim Ordinance,
while the studies referenced in Section 2.01 are conducted.
2.04 The City Council finds that this Interim Ordinance applies only to
applications for temporary sign permits on properties adjacent to 66th
Street, between Xerxes Avenue and 16th Avenue.
Sec. 3. Planning Study Authorized
3.01 A study is authorized to be conducted by City staff, to be followed by
consideration of potential changes to the City's Ordinances by the City
Council and such other commissions of the City as required by law or as
directed by the City Council.
3.02 Pending completion of the study and adoption of any amendments to the
City's official controls, an Interim Ordinance is established regulating the
issuance of temporary sign permits.
Sec. 4. Interim Regulations. The Interim Ordinance makes the following
modifications to Zoning Code Section 549 (Sign Regulations).
4.01 The application fee of $35 shall be waived. However, a completed Sign
Permit application form must be submitted to the Community Development
Department before any signs will be approved.
4.02 The 28 -day limitation on temporary signs shall be extended to one year.
4.03 The requirement that all signs maintain a 5 -foot setback from property lines
shall be waived.
4.04 The requirement that banner signs be attached to a structure shall be
waived, allowing greater use of banners and similar types of signs.
4.05 The interim regulations established by this Ordinance shall apply to any
application pending as of the date of this Ordinance.
4.06 All other regulations set forth in Zoning Code Section 549 remain in effect
and are not modified by the Interim Ordinance.
Sec. 5. Enforcement. The City may enforce this Ordinance by mandamus,
injunction or other appropriate civil remedy in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Sec. 6. Term. Unless earlier repealed by the City Council, this Interim Ordinance
shall remain in effect until March 14, 2018. The Ordinance may be extended for a
reasonable time, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes Section 462.355.
Sec. 7. Effective Date. This Ordinance is effective as provided by Section 3.09 of
the Richfield City Charter.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Hennepin County had previously allocated $1,500,000 in cost participation funds for use in 2016 on the 77th
Street Underpass of Trunk Highway 77 Project. The funds are for appraisal fees, land acquisition, and
relocation costs required for construction of the project. The funds are provided to the City through an invoice
reimbursement process. The original agreement commenced on June 1, 2016 and was to terminate on
December 31, 2016. This amendment extends the agreement to December 31, 2017.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Approve the First Amendment to Hennepin County Cost Participation Agreement for the
construction of the 77th Street Underpass of Trunk Highway 77.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
• City Council approved the original agreement on April 26, 2016.
• Due to delays in the release of state funds full right-of-way acquisition could not take place in

December 31, 2016 termination date.
• The cost estimate to complete the 77th Street Underpass, including design, right-of-way, and
construction is $25.5 million.
• The 77th Street Underpass has received $2.5 million for full design through the MnDOT Local
Road Improvement Program.
• The 77th Street Underpass has also received $10 million in State funds for "right-of-way
acquisition and construction" which has yet to be released for use.
• The 77th Street Underpass Project was selected for Regional Solicitation Funding (Federal
Funding) in the amount of $7 million for construction year 2020.
• The remaining funding gap on the project is approximately $4.5 million.
B. POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etcy
• Increasing capacity of the 1-494 corridor and the 77th Street crossing of TH 77 are identified in
the City's Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 6 - Transportation).
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES:
• Design and right-of-way acquisition are fully funded and both elements are in progress.
D. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
• The Hennepin County funds will be used towards right-of-way acquisition costs.
E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
• The City Attorney has reviewed the Amendment and will be available to answer questions.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(Sl:
• The Council may choose to reject the Amendment to the Cost Participation Agreement and direct staff
on how to proceed.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Public hearing and consideration of the approval of a noise ordinance variance to allow operation
of temporary conveyance systems and equipment during overnight hours related to the Metropolitan
Council's Richfield/Airport Sewer Repair project.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) is making improvements to their regional sanitary sewer
facilities that serve homes and businesses near MSP International Airport. In order to complete the work and
maintain sanitary sewer service the MCES is requesting an overnight noise variance for the use of
generators. The noise variance request is 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. Monday through Saturday and all
day Sunday from:
• Phase 1: March 20 to March 31
• Phase 2: May 29 to July 25
MCES will use baffles and sound enclosures to minimize the noise around the generators and the maximum
volume is expected to be approximately 85 decibels at the property lines, which according to decibel tables
is equivalent to "city traffic inside of a car". The contractor will notify residents and businesses within
500 feet of the noise prior to any overnight work.
MCES staff presented information about the project and the noise variance request at the February 14, 2017,
City Council Meeting. Impacted residents were invited to attend an open house on February 16, 2017, and
were notified of this public hearing.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Conduct and close the public hearing and by motion: Approve a noise ordinance variance to allow
operation of temporary conveyance systems and equipment during overnight hours related to the
Metropolitan Council's Richfield/Airport Sewer Repair project.
A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
9 Most of the work required includes rehabilitating maintenance holes and inserting a liner into an
existing sanitary sewer pipe to form a new pipe. This process is called Cured -in -Place Pipe
(CIPP).
• In order to complete the work while maintaining sanitary sewer service for the area 24-hour
bypass pumping is required with the use generators.
B. POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etcy.
• In order to grant a noise ordinance variance lasting longer than 15 days, the following must occur:
• Public hearing regarding application for a noise ordinance variance.
• Approval of the noise ordinance variance application by City Council and signed by City
staff.
• MCES notified properties within 500 feet of the project about the project, the noise variance
request, project open house, and public hearing information.
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES:
• The public hearing and approval of the variance application must be granted in order for the
CIPP lining project to occur.
D. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
• There is no financial impact to the City.
E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
• Richfield City Code requires the Council to hold a public hearing before granting a noise
ordinance variance for more than 15 days.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(Sl:
• The City Council may choose not to grant the noise exemption variance.

Executive Summary of Proposed Debt
Proposed Issue:
$9,335,000 General Obligation Street Reconstruction Bonds, Series 2017A
Purposes:
The proposed General Obligation Street Reconstruction Bonds, Series 2017A
are being issued to finance the 660' Street Reconstruction Project in the City.
Debt service will be paid from ad valorem property taxes.
The City held a public hearing and adopted the 5 -Year Street Reconstruction
Plan for 2017-2021 on April 12, 2016.
Authority:
The Bonds are being issued pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 475 and
475.58.
The Bonds count against the City's General Obligation Debt Capacity Limit of
3% of market value.
The Bonds will be general obligations of the City for which its full faith, credit
and taxing powers are pledged.
Term/Call Feature:
The Bonds are being issued for a 21 -year term. Principal on the Bonds will be
due on February 1 in the years 2019 through 2038. Interest is payable every six
months beginning February 1, 2018.
The Bonds maturing on and after February 1, 2027 will be subject to prepayment
at the discretion of the City on February 1, 2026 or any date thereafter.
Bank Qualification:
Because the City is expecting to issue no more than $10,000,000 in tax exempt
debt during the calendar year, the City will be able to designate the Bonds as
"bank qualified" obligations. Bank qualified status broadens the market for the
Bonds, which can result in lower interest rates.
Rating:
The City's most recent bond issues were rated "AA+" by Standard & Poor's.
The City will request a new rating for the Bonds.
If the winning bidder on the Bonds elects to purchase bond insurance, the rating
for the issue may be higher than the City's bond rating in the event that the bond
rating of the insurer is higher than that of the City.
Basis for Recommendation:
Based on our knowledge of your situation, your objectives communicated to us,
our advisory relationship as well as characteristics of various municipal
financing options, we are recommending the issuance of tax exempt General
Obligation Street Reconstruction Bonds as a suitable financing option. This
option is in keeping with the City policy and past practices to finance these types
of projects with this type of debt issue, and there are limited other options
available to finance these types of projects. In addition, the issuance of general
Presale Report February 28, 2017
City of Richfield, Minnesota Page 1
Presale Report February 28, 2017
City of Richfield, Minnesota Page 2
obligation bonds provides the most overall cost effective option that still
maintains future flexibility for the repayment of the debt.
Method of Sale/Placement:
In order to obtain the lowest interest cost to the City, we will competitively bid
the purchase of the Bonds from local and national underwriters/banks.
We have included an allowance for discount bidding equal to 0.80000% of the
principal amount of the issue. The discount is treated as an interest item and
provides the underwriter with all or a portion of their compensation in the
transaction.
If the Bonds are purchased at a price greater than the minimum bid amount
(maximum discount), the unused allowance may be used to lower your
borrowing amount.
Premium Bids: Under current market conditions, most investors in municipal
bonds prefer "premium" pricing structures. A premium is achieved when the
coupon for any maturity (the interest rate paid by the issuer) exceeds the yield
to the investor, resulting in a price paid that is greater than the face value of the
bonds. The sum of the amounts paid in excess of face value is considered
"reoffering premium."
The amount of the premium varies, but it is not uncommon to see premiums
for new issues in the range of 2.00% to 10.00% of the face amount of the
issue. This means that an issuer with a $2,000,000 offering may receive bids
that result in proceeds of $2,040,000 to $2,200,000.
For this issue of Bonds we have been directed to use the premium to reduce the
size of the issue/increase the net proceeds for the project. The adjustments may
slightly change the true interest cost of the original bid, either up or down.
You have the choice to limit the amount of premium in the bid
specifications. This may result in fewer bids, but it may also eliminate large
adjustments on the day of sale and other uncertainties.
Review of Existing Debt:
We have reviewed all outstanding indebtedness for the City and have identified
a potential refunding opportunity for the 2009A Bonds. The Bonds are callable
in February 2019, so this issue would be an advance refunding. After reviewing
options with the staff, the City has chosen to not refund the issue at this time
and wait until it can refunded as bank qualified debt or until the call date is
closer.
We will continue to monitor the market and the call dates for the City's
outstanding debt and will alert you to any future refunding opportunities.

Continuing Disclosure:
Because the City has more than $10,000,000 in outstanding debt (including this
issue) and this issue is over $1,000,000, the City will be agreeing to provide
certain updated Annual Financial Information and its Audited Financial
Statement annually as well as providing notices of the occurrence of certain
reportable events to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the "MSRB"),
as required by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The
City is already obligated to provide such reports for its existing bonds, and has
contracted with Ehlers to prepare and file the reports.
Arbitrage Monitoring:
Because the Bonds arc tax-exempt obligations/tax credit obligations, the City
must ensure compliance with certain Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules
throughout the life of the issue. These rules apply to all gross proceeds of the
issue, including initial bond proceeds and investment earnings in construction,
escrow, debt service, and any reserve funds. How issuers spend bond proceeds
and how they track interest earnings on funds (arbitrage/yield restriction
compliance) are common subjects of IRS inquiries. Your specific
responsibilities will be detailed in the Tax Certificate prepared by your Bond
Attorney and provided at closing. We recommend that you regularly monitor
compliance with these rules and/or retain the services of a qualified firm to assist
you.
Other Service Providers:
This debt issuance will require the engagement of other public finance service
providers. This section identifies those other service providers, so Ehlers can
coordinate their engagement on your behalf. Where you have previously used
a particular firm to provide a service, we have assumed that you will continue
that relationship. For services you have not previously required, we have
identified a service provider. Fees charged by these service providers will be
paid from proceeds of the obligation, unless you notify us that you wish to pay
them from other sources. Our pre -sale bond sizing includes a good faith
estimate of these fees, so their final fees may vary. If you have any questions
pertaining to the identified service providers or their role, or if you would like
to use a different service provider for any of the listed services please contact
us.

CITY MANAGER REVIEW
N/A
Steven L. Devich, City Manager
2/22/2017
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of the approval of a bid tabulation and award a contract to Bituminous Roadways Inc.
for the 2017 Mill and Overlay project in the amount $2,054,194.40 and authorization of the City Manager
to approve contract changes under $50,000 without further City Council consideration.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This is the third year of a six year Accelerated Mill and Overlay Program to overlay approximately 85 miles
of residential roads that have not received any major resurfacing since they were originally constructed in the
1970s. To prepare for this year's mill and overlay these roads received repairs to curbs, sidewalks, catch
basins, and manholes in 2016. CenterPoint Energy will also complete installation of new gas lines and
services prior to the mill and overlay project.
For roads that are adequate candidates, mill and overlay is a cost effective maintenance solution that provides
most of the benefits of new construction at a fraction of the cost. The surface is milled to remove the top Z-3"
of deteriorated asphalt and a new asphalt top layer is applied to improve the surface integrity of the road and
eliminate patching needs. The base layer of these roads has typically been found to be in good condition. In
conjunction with regular sealcoating, the life of that roadway can be extended far beyond the original intended
life of 20-30 years.
Bids for the mill and overlay project were opened on February 9, 2017. Bituminous Roadways Inc. was the
lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion:
1. Approve the bid tabulation and award a contract to Bituminous Roadways Inc. in the amount
of $2,054,194.40 for the 2017 Mill and Overlay project.
2. Authorize the City Manager to approve contract changes under $50,000 without further
City Council authorization.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
• The residential roads were originally constructed between 1972 and 1977. A pavement
management program began in 1980. That policy direction was set to protect the City's capital
investment and maintain an acceptable roadway system. The City's ongoing preventive
maintenance program is essential in delaying the costs associated with reconstruction.
In September 2014, residential mill and overlay was approved in the Five -Year Reconstruction
Plan for the purpose of utilizing Street Reconstruction Bonds to finance the work in place of
special assessments. The bonds are paid down by an increase in the Franchise Fee, effective
April 2014.
B. POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etcy
The City has adopted a pavement management program to maintain the quality of the road and
prolong the life of the capital investment (Comprehensive Plan — Road Pavement Conditions).
In 2013, the City approved an Accelerated Mill and Overlay Program complete the remaining 85
miles of roads that have not received any major resurfacing since they were constructed. This
program also includes the repair of storm and sanitary manholes and catch basins.
An increase in electric and gas franchise fees was approved in 2013, and enacted in
April 2014, to fund the Accelerated Mill and Overlay Program.
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES:
• The mill and overlay work is scheduled to begin May 1, 2017 and be completed by June 30, 2017.
• Regular preventive maintenance techniques are effective in delaying costly street reconstruct
projects.
D. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
• Ten (10) bids were received for the 2017 Mill and Overlay project.
• The lowest responsive and responsible bid was $2,054,194.40 submitted by Bituminous
Roadways, Inc.
• This work is funded by franchise fees.
• A recent history of bid prices for mill and overlay is:
Year Bid Price Asphalt (ton)_ Contractor
2008 $40.00 Harddrives
2010 $47.00 Valley Paving
2015 $52.00 Harddrives
2016 $40.80 Park Construction
2017 $37.00 Bituminous Roadways
Additional work may be added or subtracted from the mill and overlay contract depending on
actual cost of construction.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of the approval of a bid tabulation and award a contract to Ti -Zack Concrete, Inc. for
the 2017 Concrete Sidewalk, Curb, and Gutter Repair project in the amount of $959,150.00 and
authorization of the City Manager to approve contract changes under $50,000 without further City
Council consideration.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Each year, the City awards a contract to replace cracked and heaved sidewalk, curb, and gutter, and other
concrete, as necessary, at various locations throughout the city. With the implementation of the city-wide
Accelerated Mill and Overlay Program, concrete repairs are concentrated in the mill and overlay
areas. This will ensure the concrete repairs are completed the year before the area is scheduled for
mill and overlay. All catch basins and manhole structures in the area are also inspected and, if
necessary, repaired as part of this project.
Bids for the concrete repair project were opened on February 9, 2017. Ti -Zack Concrete, Inc. was the lowest
responsive and responsible bidder.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion:
1. Approve the bid tabulation and award a contract to Ti -Zack Conrete, Inc. in the amount
of $959,150.00 for 2017 Concrete Sidewalk, Curb, and Gutter Repair project.
2. Authorize the City Manager to approve contract changes under $50,000 without further
City Council authorization.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
As part of the City's street maintenance program, each year the City awards a contract to replace
cracked and heaved sidewalk, curb and gutter, and other concrete work.
The program was expanded in 2015 in preparation for the Accelerated Mill and Overlay Program.
Concrete repairs are concentrated in the area of next year's mill and overlay.
The project includes rebuilding catch basins and manhole structures in preparation for mill and
overlay.
B. POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc.
The project is included in the Five -Year Street Reconstruction Plan.
In 2013, the City approved an Accelerated Mill and Overlay Program complete the remaining 85
miles of roads that have not received any major resurfacing since they were constructed. This
Program also includes concrete repair of storm and sanitary manholes and catch basins.
An increase in electric and gas franchise fees was approved in 2013, and enacted in
April 2014, to fund the Accelerated Mill and Overlay Program.
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES:
• Concrete repair work is scheduled to begin July 10, 2017 and be completed by October 6, 2017.
• Concrete repairs should be completed the year prior to mill & overlay to keep the project on track.
D. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
• Four (4) bids were received for the concrete repairs.
• The lowest responsive and responsible bid was $959,150.00 submitted by Ti -Zack Concrete, Inc.
• The work is funded by franchise fees.
E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
When the amount of purchase is estimated to exceed $100,000, sealed bids shall be solicited by
public notice in the manner and subject to the law governing contracts or purchases by the City of
Richfield.
The advertisement for bid for the project was published in the Richfield Sun -Current on January
26, 2017 and on the Questcdn.com website on January 26, 2017.
Bid opening was held on February 9, 2017. A copy of the bid tabulation is attached.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS)
• Council may choose to reject all bids and direct staff to obtain new bids; however, staff believes the
bid prices received were competitive.
Council may choose not to continue with concrete repairs in preparation for the Accelerated Mill and
Overlay Program; however, the program is essential to maintaining and extending the usable life of the
city streets.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of the following items related to the Richfield Community Band Shell project:
1. Rejection of all bids for division RSB -09-1, Rough and Finish Carpentry, Structural Wood,
Painting, and Miscellaneous Finishes, and authorize staff to re -bid division RSB -09-1.
2. Holding bids and alternates for the remaining bid divisions.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Bids were advertised recently for the construction of the Richfield Community Band Shell project. The
project was divided into four bid divisions, including six alternates. A bid opening was conducted on
February 9, 2017, and nine contractors bid on one or more divisions. The lowest bid for each
division were received as follows:
• RSB -03-1 - Earthwork
• Bid by Versacon Construction
• $187,513 for the base bid
• $199,033 for the base bid plus alternate 1, 2, and 3
• RSB -07-1 - Roofing
• Bid by Versacon Construction
• $27,635 for the base bid
• RSB -09-1 - Carpentry and Finishing
• Bid by Versacon Construction
• $77,050 for the base bid
• $83,875 for the base bid plus alternate 4 and 5
• RSB -26-1 - Electrical
• Bid by Choice Electric
• $35,855 for the base bid
• $33,900 for the base bid plus alternate 6
The total amount for the base bid of the four divisions is $328,083.
Of the five bids received for bid division RSB -09-1, Rough and Finish Carpentry, Structural Wood, Painting,
and Miscellaneous Finishes, the lowest bid was considerably less than the other bids. After contacting the
lowest bidder in this Division we determined the bidder made a clerical error on the bid form, which was
substantiated by their schedule of values.
Staff recommends rejecting all bids received for RSB -09-1 and rebidding the division. Bids received
for the other three divisions are in effect for 60 days from the bid opening and staff recommends
holding these bids until the rejected division is rebid, and an overall project cost can be determined.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion:
1. Reject all bids for division RSB -09-1, Rough and Finish Carpentry, Structural Wood, Painting,
and Miscellaneous Finishes, for the Richfield Community Band Shell and authorize staff to re -bid
division RSB -09-1.
2. Hold bids and alternates for the remaining bid divisions.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
• City Council discussed the formation of a new group of volunteers to raise funds and finalize plans
for a community band shell at a study session on January 28, 2014. During the discussion,
Council selected Veterans Memorial Park as the future site of the community band shell and later
passed a resolution declaring Veterans Park as the future site of the Band Shell on February 11,
2014.
• A Band Shell Task Force was assembled and began meeting in February, 2014. The Task Force
began fundraising efforts right away and secured about $75,000 of pledges.
• On June 23, 2015, City Council passed a resolution granting approval of a site plan to allow the
construction of a community band shell in Veterans Memorial Park. The Council specified that no
additional funding from the City would be provided to the project. At the same meeting, the Council
approved a contract with David Linner Architects to prepare plans, specifications and bidding
documents.
• City Council approved a motion on September 8, 2015 to reject all bids for the construction of a
band shell. All four bids received exceeded the project budget.
• On July 12, 2016, City Council passed a resolution granting approval of a revised site plan to allow
the construction of a community band shell in Veterans Memorial Park.
• On October 11, 2016, Council received a summary report of a professional sound study that was
conducted on site in September. Council also approved an agreement with EDS Builders to
perform construction management services for the construction of the Band Shell.
• The four divisions bid are:
• RSB -03-1 Earthwork, Concrete, Masonry and Miscellaneous Metals
• RSB -07-1 Roofing Architectural Shingles
• RSB -09-1 Rough and Finish Carpentry, Structural Wood, Painting and Miscellaneous
Finishes
• RSB -26-1 Electrical and Temporary Power
• The six alternates are:
• Alternate 1 - Upgrade rock -faced block with Trattino finish
• Alternate 2 - Add decorative steel railing
• Alternate 3 - Add metal treble and base clef emblem
• Alternate 4 - 5/8" tongue and grove plywood under trusse
• Alternate 5 - Add anti -graffiti coating to all exposed walls and door
• Alternate 6 - Remove all emergency and exit lights
B. POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes. etch
Contracts estimated to have a value over $100,000 must be made by sealed bids, solicited by
public notice, and awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. All such contracts can only be
approved by City Council.
The notice that bids are being solicited must be published once in the city's official newspaper at
least ten days before the last day for the submission of bids.
The City has the authority to reject all bids.
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES:
• The schedule for re -bidding of the Rough and Finish Carpentry, Structural Wood, Painting, and
Miscellaneous Finishes Division, should Council approve is as follows:
• March 9, 2017 - SunCurrent Publication Date
• March 20, 2017 - Bid Opening
• March 28, 2017 - Council Consideration of Project
• May, 2017 - Construction Begins
• August, 2017 - Construction Ends
• Formal rejection of the bids should occur in a reasonable timeframe for the contractors to
plan their seasonal workloads accordingly.

• The cost of publishing a notice to re -bid the carpentry/finishing division in the SunCurrent
Newspaper is less than $110. There are no other costs associated with re -bidding the division.
E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
• The City Attorney has been consulted regarding this situation.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(Sl:
• Council may choose to accept bids and consider award of contract to the next lowest responsible
bidder. This would require additional funding either by the City or a combination of other sources.
• Council may choose to reject all bid divisions and direct staff how to proceed.
