SUBJ: Approve Plans and Specifications for Trunk Highway 101 North Leg
1 Realignment Authorize Advertising for Bids
Project No. 88 -22B
1
The plans and specifications have been prepared for the Trunk Highway 101 North Leg
I Realignment Improvement Project No. 88 -22B. The project plan set consists of 51 sheets and
therefore could not be included with the Council packets, however, if anyone has any questions
or wishes to review these plans, a set is available in my office.
1 This project is the third phase of a four -phase program to relocate Trunk Highway 101 out of the
downtown area in Chanhassen. The final phase will construct the future Trunk Highway 101
I from Lake Drive East south to future Trunk Highway 212, however, with the completion of this
North Leg project, Trunk Highway 101 will be redesignated out of the downtown area.
I The project consists of construction and reconstruction of the roadway to an urban section with
associated storm sewer utility, lighting, landscaping, park, traffic and railroad crossing signal
improvements. Construction of the project will occur in stages implementing a bypass roadway
I to maintain traffic service. However, the segment of West 78th Street east of Trunk Highway
101 will be closed, therefore, Dell Road will serve as the only access in an d out of the office
industrial park during the construction of the project.
I The ro'ect engineer has provided a detailed description of the elements of this project including
P J g P P J g
an estimated construction of $1,580,000 and a revised project schedule forecasting a completion
1 date of October 29, 1993. Some right -of -way will need to be acquired for this project. The
exact cost for this acquisition is not yet known, however, it is not anticipated to significantly
impact the total project cost.
I The design and construction of the railroad crossing and signal guard is a specific standalone
g g g g P
element of the project which will be designed and constructed under a separate contract. It is

anticipated that these plans and specifications will be completed for Council review and approval
I in January.
It is therefore recommended that the City Council approve the plans and specifications for the
I Trunk Highway 101 North Leg Realignment Project No. 88 -22B and authorize the advertisement
for project bids.

1 Manager's Comments (11- 5 -92):
Funding for this project is through a special state law passed in 1989 allowing Chanhassen to
I extend our Hennepin County Tax Increment District with the revenues solely dedicated to the
realigned Highway 101 project. Collections were specified to be 1990, 1991 and 1992. As the
special law is silent as to balances remaining at the end of 1992, our bond attorney believes that
1 underlying state statute would govern, i.e. "....or (4) return the excess amount to the County
Auditor (Hennepin) who shall distribute the excess amount to the municipality (City of
Chanhassen), county (Hennepin), and school district (Eden Prairie)....in direct proportion to their
1 respective local tax rates [MS 469.1 -- italics added]. The north leg Highway 101 project was
originally scheduled for 1990. Delays in completing Highway 5 (State of Minnesota) and Dell
Road (Eden Prairie) have moved this project to 1993. To ensure that potential law suits or
I misinterpretations do not occur, it is vitally important that this project be formally bid, award of
bids formally acknowledged, and that the 1992 year end closing and audit report show the costs
of the project as a "contract payable" including "net assets" which recognize that "contract
1 payable ", i.e. a zero balance.
I I am not aware of potential glitches which may arise as we move through the various approval
processes. I do know that we cannot afford delays. Accordingly, I would recommend that if a
glitch develops that it is vital that "approval be given subject to....(resolving the glitch) ".
1 Accepting plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids is recommended.

Re: Decertification of Tax Increment Financing District 1850
Dear Mr. Ashworth: '
Pursuant to M.S. 469.176, Subdivision 1(e), Economic Development Tax Increment
Financing District 1850 would have terminated on 12/31/89. The district was
certified by the County Auditor on 6- 17 -81, and received its first increment in II
1982. However, special legislation, Article 14, Section 17, Laws of 1989,
extended the life of this tax increment financing district to 12/31/92.
Hennepin County will, therefore, remove all parcels in TIF 1850 from our tax
increment financing district files - and will terminate this district from our
active file of tax increment financing districts - for taxes payable in 1993. I
We will also terminate payment of delinquent tax unless we hear from you by May
22, 1992, telling us how M.S. 469.176, Subdivision 1(h) may apply to these tax
increment financing districts.
If you have any questions about this decertification, please call me at
348 -5076.
Sincerely, '

RE: TH 101 Realignment (North Leg)
City of Chanhassen Project 88 -22B EVANEERING flrpT,
Dear Mr. Folch:
Planning
Transportation We are currently completing the plans and specifications for the TH
Engineering 101 Realignment (North Leg) Project. The project is a continuation
Urban Design of the phased relrocation of TH 101 from its currently designated
route (through the downtown) to its future route along TH 5 and
ThresherSquare Market Boulevard.
700 Third Street So.
Minneapolis, Previous phases of the relocation have included the construction of
MN55415 Market Boulevard from TH 5 south to the Rosemount Driveway (CP 88-
612/370 -0700 22) and the temporary connection from Market Boulevard to existing
Fax612/370 -1378 TH 101 (CP 90 -20) . This project i s the third phase of the
relocation. The final phase of the relocation is the proposed
Minneapolis future construction of new TH 101 from Lake Drive East (Rosemount
Phoenix Driveway) to future TH 212.
Denver
Orlando The scope of this project includes the construction /reconstruction
San Diego of approximately 3,600 feet of roadway with an urban section
Seattle (concrete curb and gutter) along with associated watermain, sanitary
sewer and storm sewer improvements. The project also includes
Donald W. Ringrose landscaping and lighting improvements, tennis court and park
Richard P. Wolsfeld improvements and the installation of a signal system at the new TH
Peter E. Jarvis 101 and West 78th Street intersection.
Thomas F. Carroll
Craig A. Amundsen The project includes construction staging and bypass roadway 1
Donald E. Hunt construction to enable TH 101 to remain open at all times during
John B. McNamara construction. West 78th Street from Great Plains Boulevard to the
Richard D. Pilgrim Chanhassen Office Complex will be closed to through traffic during
Dale N. Beckmann stages of the construction. The project plans include detailed
Jeffrey L. Benson staging plans which illustrate the proposed traffic routing.

The roadway construction proposed as a part of this project includes
' two at -grade crossings of the Twin Cities and Western Railroad
tracks in the project area. This project includes the construction
of roadways up to the railroad tracks; however, the required
railroad track improvements and the installation of flashing light
signals with gates at the crossings will be performed as a part of
a separate bid package.
We have prepared an Engineer's Cost Estimate for the project based -
upon the completed plans. The following is a summary of the
estimated construction costs.
ITEM ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE
Watermain Improvements $ 190,000.00
Sanitary Sewer Improvements $ 45,000.00
Storm Sewer Improvements $ 185,000.00
Roadway Improvements $ 750,000.00
' Park Improvements $ 100,000.00
Landscaping Improvements $ 70,000.00
Lighting Improvements $ 130,000.00
Signal System Improvements $ 110,000.00
TOTAL CONSTRUCTION COST $1,580,000.00
It should be noted that this is the estimated construction cost only
and does not include any administrative, overhead or land
acquisition costs.
The project plans will require the review and approval of the
Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn /DOT) since a majority of
the improvements will be performed within Mn /DOT right -of -way. We
have submitted the necessary permit applications and design
information to Mn /DOT for their review, however, we have not yet
received any comments. The Mn /DOT review process could result in
some changes to the design of the proposed improvements as well as
some changes in the project costs. We will work with Mn /DOT to try
to obtain all necessary approvals prior to the proposed date of
award for the project.
This project will also require a permit from the Riley- Purgatory-
Bluff Creek Watershed District. Project plans and a permit
' application will be submitted to the District for their approval.
It is not anticipated that any difficulties will be met in obtaining
this permit.
