MEMORANDUM
TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager

DATE: February 22, 1993
SUBJ: Approve Plans and Specifications for Trunk Highway 101 North Leg Railroad
Crossing; Authorize Advertising for Bids
Project No. 88 -22B -1
At their regular meeting on December 14, 1992, the City Council awarded the Trunk
Highway 101 North Leg Realignment Improvement Project No. 88 -22B to C. S. McCrossan.
One of the specific elements of this project is the railroad crossing. Due to the specialized
' design and construction involved with this element, the work effort is being bid out under
a separate contract. The construction timetable for the railroad grade crossing has been
' defined to be compatible with the overall roadway improvement project schedule which is
anticipated to be substantially completed by the fall of 1993.
The project plans and specifications for the railroad grade crossing have been completed
and are ready for MnDOT submittal as such. Due to the size of the project plans and
specifications, they could not be included with the packet but a copy is available in my office
for review. It is therefore recommended that the City Council approve the plans and
specifications for the railroad grade crossing in conjunction with the Trunk Highway 101
North Leg Realignment Project No. 88 -22B -1 and authorize the advertisement for bids.

The proposed improvements will also require the review and approval of
1 the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MN /DOT). The plans and
specifications will be submitted to MN /DOT after receiving the comments
of the TC & W and making arty necessary revisions. The MN/DOT review
I process could also result in some design changes and associated changes
in the estimated costs.

the completed plans and specifications. The following is a summary of the
estimated costs.
