MEMORANDUM
TO: Paul Oehme, Director of Public Works /City Engineer l"
FROM: Stephanie Bartels, Project Engineer
DATE: October 14, 2013 0�
SUBJ: Galpin Boulevard/West 78rh Street Intersection Improvement:
Award Construction Contract
PROPOSED MOTION
"The City Council awards a construction contract for the Galpin
Boulevard/West 78th Street Intersection Improvement to Parrott Contracting,
Inc. in the amount of $24,937.00."
City Council approval requires a simple majority vote of the City Council
present.
West 78th Street is a local collector road running east -west, parallel to Minnesota
Trunk Highway 5. A multi -use trail is on the north side of West 78Th Street. At the
intersection of Galpin Boulevard and West 78`h Street, Galpin Boulevard traffic is not
required to stop unless a pedestrian is using the crosswalk on the north leg of the
intersection. In order for a pedestrian on the West 78Th Street trail to cross Galpin
Boulevard, he or she must travel across three lanes of traffic which is more than 94
feet of pavement to reach the other side of the street.
Future development planned for this area is expected to increase the pedestrian traffic
at this intersection. As both the pedestrian and vehicular traffic in this part of
Chanhassen increase, this long crossing will become problematic.
To increase pedestrian safety, the proposed project will construct a concrete median
to the north leg of the Galpin Boulevard/West 78th Street intersection. This median
will provide a six -foot wide pedestrian refuge to increase safety.

The refuge will permit pedestrians to cross one direction of traffic at a time, allowing them to focus
on one or two lanes rather than having to anticipate traffic for the entire width of the road. When
this project is complete, a pedestrian will have to cross no more than two lanes of traffic or 36 feet of
pavement at a time.
On September 26, 2013, quotes were received. The quotes are shown below:
