SUBJ: Lyman Boulevard Improvements (Audubon Road to Power Boulevard), City
Project No. 10 -08: Approve Concurrence of Bids
PROPOSED MOTION
"The City Council approves concurrence with bids for improvements to Lyman Boulevard
(CSAH 18) from Audubon Road to Powers Boulevard."
City Council approval requires a simple majority vote of the City Council present.
BACKGROUND
On October 10, 2011, staff reviewed the proposed project with Council.
A neighborhood meeting was held on October 25, 2011.
The City Council approved noise mitigation findings for the project on September 10, 2012.
On November 25, 2013, the City Council approved plans and specifications and Joint Powers
Agreement.
Carver County opened bids for the project on February 18, 2014 at 2:00 p.m.
This segment of Lyman Boulevard is proposed to be reconstructed to a four -lane divided
design with pedestrian/bicycle trails along the north side of the roadway. This project has
been programmed in the Capital Improvement Program.
The primary goals of the project are as follows:
Improve safety for people along the existing Lyman Boulevard corridor.
✓ Reduce crashes to the extent possible.
✓ Add turn lanes to provide safe turning movements at existing intersections.
✓ Improve sight distance by reducing steep grades near Sunset Trail.
Accommodate regional and local transportation needs of anticipated population, high school
traffic and employment growth along the Lyman Boulevard corridor by increasing roadway
capacity.

ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
Currently, this section of Lyman Boulevard is a two -lane rural section roadway. The pavement condition is in
very poor condition with gravel shoulders. The project will reconstruct about .90 miles of Lyman Boulevard
(County Road 18) from a point located approximately 850 feet east of Audubon Road South (CSAH 15) to a
point located approximately 750 feet east of Powers Boulevard (CSAH 17). The roadway will be urbanized
with concrete curb and gutter. Right and left turn lanes will be added to all existing intersections. Dual left
turn lanes will be added to northbound Powers Boulevard to westbound Lyman Boulevard. Left and right
turn lanes will be added to the Sunset Trail and Audubon Road intersections. The roadway section is
consistent with the roadway section west of Audubon Road.
The centerline alignment of Lyman Boulevard has shifted slightly to the north to provide a straighter
alignment. The County has looked at shifting the alignment farther to the north but the alignment would be
unfavorable since it would add another curve in the road as you approach Powers Boulevard. The alignment
of road does not evenly divide the right -of -way impacts between both sides of the road however the County
feels this is the best overall alignment for Lyman Boulevard.
Lyman Boulevard at the Sunset Trail intersection will be lowered and Sunset Trail will be shifted west about
12 feet to straighten the alignment. Sunset Trail will intersect Lyman Boulevard at a 90- degree angle but still
will have a curved alignment approaching the intersection. The intersection alignment meets State Aid
standards and is much improved from a sight distance perspective then its current condition.
The driveway on the north side of the project will be constructed to a roadway section to plan for a future
public street south to connect to Bluff Creek Boulevard. The stub road will be wide enough for a right and

left turn lane approach to Lyman Boulevard. The existing driveway will need to be shifted to the east to align
with Sunset Trail. This shift does create some impacts to the property however the trees on the south side of
the project are already impacted by the roadway construction.
The reconstruction will require the section of
Lyman Boulevard from Audubon Road (north)
to Powers Boulevard to be closed to thru- traffic
during construction. This closure is expected to
last 12 weeks. Additionally, a concurrent 4-
week closure is planned for the section west of
Audubon Road (north). Since the profile will be
changing dramatically, allowing traffic through
the work zone is not practical, however, some
work can be completed early in the project
without having to close the roadway. It is
anticipated the roadway closure will need to start
prior to the end of school so the project can be
completed before school starts in the fall. The
project detour will be Powers Boulevard to
Pioneer Trail to Audubon Road.
Detour Plan
Improvements to Powers Boulevard will be constructed under trafac
/I
A 10' wide trail will be constructed on the north side of Lyman Boulevard from Audubon Road to Powers
Boulevard. This trail section will complete a city trail loop. No trail is planned for the south side of Lyman
Boulevard because the trail will impact wetlands and most of the property is not developed at this time.
Landscaping is included in the project. Trees are proposed to be planted mainly were tree removal will take
place and along the trail corridor.
UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS
An 8" watermain is planned to be extended from a stub watermain near the Audubon Road (north)
intersection under Bluff Creek to the Preserve at Bluff Creek Development. This stub will connect to the
development once the last phase of the development is constructed. The developer for the Preserve at Bluff
Creek Development has agreed to pay for this watermain extension work through the development contract
process and not be assessed at this time. Watermain at the Powers Boulevard intersection will be extended
farther to the south and outside the curb line so the watermain can be extended in the future when
development occurs without having to dig up the roadway.
A casing for a future sanitary sewer pipe is proposed to cross Lyman Boulevard to potentially service
properties on the north side of Lyman Boulevard in the future including Sunset Trail. The future sewer pipe
would connect into the Preserve at Bluff Creek development.
Lyman Boulevard will be urbanized with concrete curb and gutter and a storm sewer system will be
constructed to collect roadway drainage. This will mean less road runoff going onto adjacent properties.
Storm sewer treatment will be at existing ponds located near Audubon Road (north), constructed with the first
phase of Lyman improvements, and at ponds constructed for the TH 212 project off of Powers Boulevard and
south of Lyman Boulevard by Lake Susan Drive. These ponds have been verified to have the necessary storm
water and treatment capacity. The drainage patterns excluding the roadway runoff are not proposed to
change.

The Engineer's Estimate was $6,137,136.30. The low bid is almost 16% below the Engineer's Estimate.
The lowest responsible bidder was Mathiowetz Construction headquartered out of Sleepy Eye, Minnesota.
Mathiowetz Construction has worked for Carver County previously but not in the last 10 years. Carver
County has checked references and finds the contractor capable and responsible to complete the project.
Carver County is recommending award to Mathiowetz Construction.
FUNDING
The project is proposed to be financed through various funding sources. Federal Surface Transportation
Program (STP) funding will help pay for 80% of the federal eligible construction cost. These funds were
secured by Carver County through the 2009 regional solicitation process. The remainder of the construction
costs will be paid by Carver County and Chanhassen. All water and sanitary sewer costs are proposed to be
paid from the associated enterprise funds. Right -of -way, engineering and construction management are not
federal fund grant eligible items. These costs include environmental work, preliminary and final design costs.
Construction services will be completed by the County. The total estimated project cost is $ 7,396,000.00.
Lyman Boulevard is part of the Master Agreement between Carver County and the Cities of Chanhassen and
Chaska that identifies cost participation shares outside of the typical Carver County Cost Participation Policy.
This portion of Lyman Boulevard identified in the Master Agreement has 50% of the project costs being City
funded excluding the federal funds. The City of Chanhassen will need to pay 100% of the sanitary and
waternain utility costs. Right -of -Way settlements are not complete at the time. Carver County is still
working with property owners to settle right -of -way acquisitions. However, if settlements are over the
appraised value, the City would participate in 50% of the settlement costs.
The following is a summary of the total project proposed financing plan:

aid funds will be on a future Council agenda.
