Scott Harder reported:
· He met with the two task force co-chairs and agreed on an agenda for the Joint Task
Force meeting that will be held in March or April. Agenda items will include outlining
strategies and forming an advisory board. The report should be ready by June.
· Minneapolis started work on a cost for services analysis and will be delivered to the
Joint Water Commission to review by June 30, 2008.
· Stakeholder meetings have been set for February 27 and March 5 from 9-12 at the
Department of Health located at Energy Park Drive. The purpose of these meetings is to
receive input from stakeholders on priorities and how to award points to cities that are
working together.
Tom Mathisen reported:
. The status of the Columbia Heights Filtration Plant problems and the new facility to be
built in Fridley. Details of the plants are outlined in a hand-out that was distributed.
. He is working with the T AC to form a plan in the event of an emergency where backup
water is needed. This is particularly important since the interconnect project between
Minneapolis and St. Paul was taken out of the bonding bill at the state level and there is
no backup plan for a water emergency currently in place. Potential consultants and
dollar amounts are being researched and specifics will be reported back to the Joint
Water Commission in June.

Value Operator Machine
Randy Kloepper discussed the purchase of a Valve Operator Machine that is priced at
$60,000. A valve operator would automatically set the torque when the pipe diameter is
entered versus employees performing this task manually. Exercising valves manually
raises concerns from a safety/worker's compensation perspective which validates the
purchase of the machine. The machine would be shared between the three cities and
stored in one city during the winter months when it is not used.
MOVED by Norris, seconded by McDonald and motion carried unanimously to delay the
valve replacement in 2008 for Golden Valley and replace with the purchase of a Valve
operator machine. The bids or quotes will be presented at a subsequent meeting.
Next Meetina:
The next meeting will be April 2, 2008.
Adiournment:
McDonald moved to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 2:00 pm.

J. Review 2007 Budget and Resolution 08-04 to transfer remaining annual inspection budget
funds from the 2007 budget to the 2008 budget. The Commission deferred its review of the 2007
budget until the March meeting. Ms. Loomis moved to approve resolution 08-04 to transfer the
remaining annual inspection funds, $6033.59, to the 2008 Project Inspections budget. Ms. Black
seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.
A. Golden Valley 2008/2009 Pavement Management Program: Golden Valley. Ms.
Chandler explained this project is the 2008 portion of the City of Golden Valley's 2008-2009
pavement management program. She said the project is coming in front of the Commission
because it is a reconstruction project greater than one acre, which is one of the types of
projects the Commission wanted to review instead of being reviewed only by Commission
staff. Ms. Chandler said the two-year project encompasses eight miles of residential streets.
She stated that Golden Valley is decreasing the amount of impervious surface from 28.59 acres
to 27.92 acres and is adding two water quality ponds. Ms. Chandler said in addition to the
ponds permanent BMPs include eight sump manholes throughout the project area. Ms.
Chandler reported that the Commission Engineer has four recommendations as listed in the
February 14, 2008 Engineer's Memo. Ms. Black moved to approve the project with the
recommendations listed in the February 14, 2008 Engineer's Memo. Ms. Loomis seconded the
motion. The motion carried unanimously [City of Minnetonka was absent from the vote).
B. CrossRoads Corporate Center: Minnetonka. Ms. Chandler explained that the project is in
front of the Commission because it is a change in land use. She stated that the project entails
changing 14 acres from single-family residential to office buildings and parking ramps. She
said that 13 acres of the site will be graded. Ms. Chandler said the net increase in impervious
surface is 3.15 acres. She explained that runoff from the site will be directed to a proposed
water quality pond and that treated water eventually discharges into Crane Lake. She said the
Commission Engineer is now satisfied that the developer will meet the nondegradation
requirement through the large amount of ponding they are providing. Ms. Chandler said the
Commission Engineer is recommending approval of the project with three minor conditions
not listed in the January 14, 2008 Engineer's Memo:
i. Rip rap and filter material should be provided at each storm sewer outlet;
ii. Skimming detail for each outlet structure must be provided on the drawings;
iii. Seqnencing note should be included on the drawing and should state, "Silt and
sand will be removed from the pond as necessary during construction and after
completion ofthe project."
Ms. Loomis commented she thought the Commission usually recommends that a maintenance agreement
is entered into between the City and the developer. Mr. Gustafson said the City of Minnetonka
incorporates that as part of the approval of the project. Mr. Gustafson stated that the large pond will
discharge into the wetland.
#248652 v 1
BCWMC February 21, Z008 Meeting Minutes
Page 4
Ms. Kohl commented about residents' concern that there will not be a buffer pond between the wetland
and Crane Lake. Mr. Wons commented that his neighborhood drains directly into the wetland and will
not drain into a water quality pond. He asked if the wetland will provide sufficient treatment for the
runoff. Mr. Gustafson said that property is residential drainage and he believes the wetland will provide
enough treatment for that runoff.
Chair Welch asked if the loading into Crane Lake would change. Ms. Chandler said it would be about the
same. Ms. Chandler said the Commission's requirements are being met including the non degradation
policy. Ms. Black said she is concerned about the volume increase of runoff and the increase of water
entering Crane Lake. Ms. Black asked if there are any provisions to decrease the amount of additional
runoff.
Mr. Parker of MFRA said the restricted outlet on the pond will handle some volume control. Mr. Dumas
stated that the project has 39% impervious coverage, which is substantially below the city's zoning
allowance of 75% impervious coverage.
Ms. Black expressed her concern about the bounce of the water levels and its impact on the wetlands and
Crane Lake.
Mr. Gustafson commented that the entire project will be LEED certified. Ms. Black requested that in the
future the Commission Engineer include in the Engineer's Memo the fact that a project is going to be
LEED certified.
Chair Welch added a fourth recommendation to the three Engineer recommendations stated by Ms.
Chandler. Chair Welch said the fourth recommendation is that the developer considers the incorporation
of all possible water quality Best Management Practices especially in regard to reduction of water volume.
Ms. Black moved the project with the conditions discussed today. Ms. Loomis seconded the motion. The
motion carried unanimously [City of Minnetonka was absent from the vote].
A. Wirth Lake TMDL Meeting. Chair Welch said there are a memo and an e-mail in the meeting
packet that discuss issues that arose from the Wirth Lake TMDL meeting. He said the e-mail
addresses a number of issues but the major point is that the Minneapolis Park and Recreation
Board is not seeking to play an active role in the development part of the TMDL project. Chair
Welch summarized the Wirth Lake TMDL meeting and said an outcome of the meeting was the
decision to bring to the Commission the idea of drafting a work plan for the Wirth Lake TMDL
and circulating it to the MPCA and the stakeholders for a review on a quick timeline for getting
comments back, then incorporating the comments into the work plan, and then forwarding it to
the MPCA by the third week of March.
Chair Welch said that from there the Commission would have a couple of options. He said the
Commission could take the work plan, once approved, and send out a request for proposals (RFP),
or the Commission could ask the MPCA to bid out the project through its list of approved
contractors. Chair Welch said this is not a decision the Commission needs to make right now.
Ms. Chandler remarked that as the memo in the packet states, Barr could draft the TMDL scope
within a week. She said if Barr then could get comments back from the MS4s in 10 days the whole
revision process could be completed in three weeks and the Wirth Lake TMDL work plan could be
submitted to the MPCA to meet its March 15th deadline.
Ms. Asleson said the work plan just needs to be a scope of work instead of a typical work plan. She
#248652 vI
BCWMC February 21, 2008 Meeting Minutes
Page 5
said the work plan could I ave out details of project budget and timelines. She said the MPCA
needs a scope of work that describes what has been done and what needs to be done and then the
RFP process would take p ace and then more detailed work plans would be submitted by the
consultants who chose to b'd on the project.
Ms. Chandler said that Ti Brown, who used to work at the Park Board, was involved one or two
years ago when this proje came up. She said an agreement was reached between the parties
about where to place the MP but that the Park Board didn't want to be responsible for
maintaining it and instead wanted the BCWMC or the City of Golden Valley to maintain it.
Chair Welch asked if the 'nneapolis Park and Recreation Board committed the land for the
BMP.
Mr. Oliver said a location ad been approved but the City of Golden Valley did have some
concerns about the locatio . He said the Park Board was looking for a 30-year revocable lease
with 30 days notice. He sai the major issue is that there was no participation in the project from
MnIDOT, which contribut s the majority of the drainage into the BMP. Mr. Oliver said MnlDOT
was not planning to partic pate in the capital plans of the project or in the maintenance. Mr.
Oliver said leasing arrang ments .were being worked on at the time bnt because of MnIDOT's
refusal to participate in th project the project did not move beyond that point.
Ms. Black made the motio to approve the recommendation in the memo to develop a scope of
work for the Wirth Lake DL study and to send the scope to the MS4s for review and comment.
Chair Welch seconded the motion and said the MS4s include Mn/DOT, Hennepin County, the City
of Golden Valley, and Mi neapolis and he said that the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board,
as a landowner, would als like to review the work scope.
Mr. LeFevere asked if the ark Board is part of the Minneapolis' MS4 or if it is its own MS4. Ms.
Eberhart said the Park Bo rd is not an MS4 and is not part of the City of Minneapolis' MS4
designation but the Park oard is a co-holder of the NPDES permit for its land in Minneapolis.
The motion carried unani ously [the City of Minnetonka was absent from the vote].
Chair Welch said Barr En ineering will expend funds from the Commission's TMDL budget to
complete the scope ofwor Ms. Chandler said Mr. Kremer estimated it would cost around $2,500
to complete the scope ofw rk and get it out for comment and that there is approximately $80,000
left in the TMDL budget. hair Welch said there should be more than that amount and it seems
that the budget still isn't a counting for the reimbursements received from the MPCA.
B. Medicine Lake TMDL eeting. Chair Welch said that on February Sib there was a meeting to
discuss the Medicine Lake TMDL project. He said an outcome of the meeting is that the next step
to take is to have the Thre Rivers Park District and Barr Engineering get together and identify
overlaps in information th t is available and the status of modeling to try to develop an RFP to
submit to the Minnesota P llution Control Agency (MPCA) soon because the money that the
MPCA has set aside for th Medicine Lake TMDL project will be moved on to a different project
by the end of March. Chai Welch said the MPCA has made it very clear that the maximum
funding it has available fo this project is $50,000. He said Ms. Asleson has provided a letter
reiterating that point and he letter was distributed to the Commission via e-mail earlier this
morning.
Ms. Chandler said that Ba r thinks the work scope needs to be revised and if the Commission
approves that action, a me ting will take place between John Barten of the Three Rivers Park
11248652 vI
BCWMC February 21, 2008 Meeting Minutes
Page 6
District and the City of Plymouth to revise the scope to spell things out more clearly. Ms. Chandler
said Barr is concerned about getting the revised scope completed and getting comments back from
all the stakeholders in time to meet the MPCA's Aprill't deadline.
Chair Welch said that at the February 5th meeting the issue of the stakeholder involvement process
was not resolved. Chair Welch added that he doesn't want the Commission to have another
discussion at the Commission level regarding modeling and data for the Medicine Lake TMDL
project.
Ms. Black asked what deadline could be met if the Aprill 5t deadline can't be met. Ms. Chandler
remarked it depends on how long the stakeholders take to review the scope. Chair Welch asked if
it would be okay with the MPCA if the scope of work is in to the MPCA by the Aprill't deadline
while the scope is still being reviewed by the MS4s. Ms. Asleson said she feels comfortable with
that but she will need to verify with her supervisors that it will be ok.
Ms. Chandler asked for a clarification of the process being recommended. Chair Welch said the
process being proposed is that there would be a meeting hetween Barr Engineering, City of
Plymouth, and Three Rivers Park District to revise the work scope and then after the meeting and
the revision, the scope would be sent to the MS4s and the MPCA at the same time.
Chair Welch asked how much these next steps would cost out of the Commission's TMDL budget.
Ms. Chandler said the estimate is approximately $5,000 to $6,000 and if it is any different than
that Barr Engineering will let the Commission know.
Mr. Barten said the Three Rivers Park District Board has made it clear to staff that it wants to see
lakes get improved and if that takes a TMDL then the Board is supportive of a TMDL. He said he
wouldn't be surprised if the lake is only 1 to 2 micrograms away from achieving the TMDL goal.
He said he doesn't see the revision of the work plan as a major effort and he thinks it should be
very simple. He said the current work plan needs to be revised in order to determine what has
already been done and what doesn't need to be duplicated and then the public input process needs
to be discussed.
Ms. Black asked if the revised scope of work could be submitted in the form of a draft RFP for the
March 20th Commission meeting.
Mr. Gustafson asked if the MPCA could do the TMDL. Ms. Asleson said in that situation the
MPCA would get a revised scope of work and would use the MPCA's master list of nine
contractor firms and then would work with the BCWMC to determine who would do the final
work. Ms. Loomis stated that the City of Golden Valley is fine with the approach of the MPCA
handling the TMDL. Mr. Stauner said he doesn't see a problem with that approach.
Chair Welch said the Commission needs to discuss the scope of stakeholder involvement in the
TMDL. He said he doesn't think four stakeholder meetings is enough. Mr. Moberg asked how the
Commission wants to handle communicating the load allocations to the individual MS4s. He asked
if the Commission will be sending someone to talk to the cities' boards about the load allocations
and if so, who will be meeting with the boards. Mr. Barten suggested holding two joint meetings of
the boards of the MS4s.
Ms. Templeman asked if there would be project information posted on a Web site for cities to
learn about the project. Chair Welch asked if a TMDL project Web site is in the current scope of
work.
Chair Welch brought up the idea of the Three Rivers Park District coordinating the stakeholder

process. Ms. Loomis said the Three Rivers Park District is a contributor and that she is not
comfortable with the Three Rivers Park District coordinating the stakeholder process.
Ms. Black said she doesn't have any problem with the Three Rivers Park District handling the
stakeholder process.
Chair Welch said it seems that the Commission is proposing the meeting between Barr, Three
Rivers Park District, and the City of Plymouth take place to revise the scope of work including
increasing the number of stakeholder meetings as follows:
1. An introductory meeting;
2. A mid-point data meeting;
3. Two specific meetings for MS4s and their Boards to discuss data and how load allocations
are arranged (meeting can be open to everyone);
4. See #3 (above);
5. A late-point meeting to discuss BMPs (Best Management Practices);
6. One or two contingency meetings; and,
7. See #6 (above).
Chair Welch said he wants the Commission to resolve today whether or not Three Rivers Park
District is going to lead the public stakeholder process. Mr. Barten said the Three Rivers Park
District Board has authorized the Park District to be the lead in the stakeholder process.
Ms. Asleson said the MPCA would be comfortable with the Three Rivers Park District doing any
part of the TMDL process.
Ms. Black moved that staff should work with the Three Rivers Park District to revise the work
plan and to send it out to the MS4s and the MPCA for review per the revisions and the timeline
discussed at today's meeting, including that the stakeholder process will have a minimum of seven
meetings. Ms. Loomis seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously [City of Minnetonka
was absent from the vote].
Ms. Asleson remarked that the MPCA can do a separate contract for a specific task for a specific
entity that is not on the contractor list.
Ms. Black moved that the Three Rivers Park District rons the stakeholder process. Ms. Langsdorf
seconded the motion. The motion carried with six votes in favor of the motion by the cities of
Crystal, Medicine Lake, New Hope, Plymouth, Robbinsdale, and St. Louis Park and two votes
against the motion by the cities of Golden Valley and Minneapolis [City of Minnetonka was absent
from the vote].
Ms. Herbert clarified that the Commission wants included in the March meeting packet the
revised work plan that will be sent to the MPCA and the MS4s and the Minneapolis Park and
Recreation Board.
C. Army Corps of Engineers Remitting of Future CIP Project. Deferred to next meeting.
D. Amendment to Contract with City of Plymouth for Curlyleaf Pondweed Spot Treatment
of Medicine Lake in 2008. Deferred to next meeting.
E. Status of 20- Year Inspection of Bassett Creek Phase I and II Tunnels. Ms. Chandler said no
significant issues were found during the inspection. Ms. Chandler handed out a page of color
photographs showing examples of seepage found in the tunnel. She said the water levels are being

left at their lowered levels until tomorrow because Mn/DOT is checking for void spaces behind the
tunnel walls. Chair Welch asked if there will be a formal report written up on the tunnel
inspection. Ms. Chandler said she will check. Chair Welch said the information will be included in
the 2008 Annual Report.
F. Golden Valley Request for Final Payment for Flood Proofing Project. Chair Welch said the
City of Golden Valley is asking for reimbursement in the amount of $474,205.74 for the flood
proofing project. Mr. LeFevere said he looked at the contract and the way the contract was
written was that each of the 22 houses involved in the project had an amount of money allocated
to it. He said the contract allowed remaining money from one of the 13 home's completed flood
proofing project budget to be transferred to a remaining home floodproofing project budget. Mr.
LeFevere said one of the homes, 2545 Regent Avenue, had no floodproofing done. He said the
budget for that home's floodproofing project was $20,375. Mr. LeFevere explained that since the
floodproofing was not completed on the 2545 Regent Avenue home, under the contract the $20,375
is not available to be transferred to apply to the other floodproofing projects. Mr. LeFevere said
either the reimbursement to the City of Golden Valley should be reduced by $20,375 or the
contract between the BCWMC and the City of Golden Valley should be amended to authorize the
reimbursement of all the funds set aside for the project.
Mr. Oliver said the City of Golden Valley made repeated contact with the homeowner of 2545
Regent Avenue and the homeowner refused to participate. Ms. Black asked about the procedure
for how the Commission would approve reimbursement of the full floodproofing budget amount.
Mr. LeFevere remarked that a contract amendment would be sufficiently simple that a separate
contract amendment document would not be required but could simply consist of a statement in
the minutes that the Commission, at the request of the City of Golden Valley, approves
amendment of the contract to allow the reimbursement of the full floodproofing budget amount -
notwithstanding that the floodproofing of 2545 Regent Avenue was not done - and that the
Commission is going to pay the full amount of 474,205.74 to the City of Golden Valley. Ms. Black
made the motion just explained by Mr. LeFevere. Chair Welch seconded the motion. The motion
carried unanimously [the City of Minnetonka was absent from the vote].
G. Technical Advisory Committee (T AC) Recommendations:
i. Requirements for Development Proposals Document. Chair Welch said the
requirements in this document are the guidelines and rules that implement the policies of
the Commission. He said it is a 60-page document that is very important because it defines
the Commission's scope of work in terms of what the Commission reviews, what the
Commission doesn't review, what comes in front ofthe Commission versus what is
reviewed administratively by staff, and what standards that staff and the Commission use
in their reviews.
Ms. Chandler said the two TAC recommendations that need Commission action are listed
on page 3 of the February 13, 2008 T AC memo to the Commission. She said the T AC's
first recommendation is in regard to road projects. Ms. Chandler said the T AC
recommends that public road! trail construction and reconstruction projects resulting in
disturbed area less than 5.0 acres are exempt from BCWMC review. She said the TAC also
commented that portions of such projects involving floodplains, lakes, stream crossings or
utility crossings would still require BCWMC review. Mr. Moberg clarified that the TAC
meant those projects would be exempt from coming in front of the Commission but would
be administratively reviewed.
Ms. Chandler said the second T AC recommendation is also on page 3 and is in regard to
infiltration basins. She said the T AC recommends revising the design standards for
infiltration basins to be based on 0.5 inches of runoff from impervious surfaces. She said
#248652 vI
BCWMC February 21, 2008 Meeting Minutes
Page 9
the T AC stated that design standards for fIltration basins would continue to be based on
1.0 inches of runoff from impervious surfaces. Mr. Oliver said this recommendation is
consistent with the Minnesota State Storm Water Manual.
Chair Welch said he understands the desire to deal with problem soils but he would prefer
and asks the TAC to look at standards that include sequencing, such as the first priority
would be one-inch of fIltration and if a project applicant can demonstrate they can't
iniIltrate that full amount then they infIltrate the amount they can and fIltrate the rest or
some other treatment for volume. Ms. Black said she would strongly support such
standards. Chair Welch said the Commission is discussing today what it wants to
communicate back to the TAC for the TAC to discuss and then the Commission will get
the revised Requirements document back at a later date.
Mr. Oliver said he thinks sequencing would be fairly complicated and he believes that
developers would walk away from using the alternative methods. He said the more
complicated sequencing and the more rigorous the Commission makes the requirements
the more likely that very few developers will do anything but NURP (National Urban
Runoff Program) ponds.
Chair Welch asked if the TAC has discussed volume control requirements. The TAC
members present indicated the TAC hasn't discussed volume control requirements.
Chair Welch asked for an explanation of item 4 in the TAC memo [4. "The TAC
recommends the BCWMC review and clarify non-degradation and level 1 requirements
for sites that involve additions, site expansions and change in land use."]
Mr. Moberg said the TAC would like to get to a point to clarify when to apply
nondegradation standards or levell standards.
Ms. Loomis moved to direct the T AC to review and clarify non-degradation and level 1
requirements for sites that involve additions, site expansions and change in land use, as
stated in item number 4 in the T AC memo, and to direct the T AC to make the
modifications to the requirements regarding the road projects and the infIltration basins
as described in the TAC's January 13th memo item number 5. Ms. Peterson seconded the
motion. Chair Welch clarified that the motion regarding number 4 in the TAC memo is to
review and clarify the application of non-degradation and level 1 requirements and that
the Commission is not changing the policies. The motion carried unanimously [the City of
Minnetonka was absent from the vote].
A. Citizen Input on Non-agenda Items: No citizen input.
B. Chair: No communications.
C. Commissioners: No communications.
D. Committees:
i. Education and Outreach Committee - Ms. Langsdorf reported that Decision Resources
estimated a cost of $250 for a presentation to the Commission on the results of the Joint
Survey. Ms. Langsdorf moved to approve a presentation by Decision Resources at an
upcoming meeting and for the $250 to come out of the Education budget. Ms. Peterson
#248652 vI
BCWMC February 21, 2008 Meeting Minutes
Page 10
seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously (the City of Minnetonka was absent
from the vote). Ms. Langsdorf and Ms. Thornton introduced the new Commission exhibit
on display at today's meeting. Ms. Langsdorf also mentioned that Mary Karius of River
Watch is willing to present the 2007 River Watch results to the Commission and that Ms.
Karius said perhaps a teacher who was involved in the sampling could also come if the
Commission schedules the presentation for a meeting after the school year ends. Ms.
Herbert was directed to contact Mary Karius to set up the presentation.
E. Counsel: No communications.
F. Engineer: No communications.
Ms. Black moved to adjourn the meeting. Ms. Loomis seconded the motion. The meeting adjourned at
2:15 p.m.

Summary
Award Construction Contract:
Bids for the 2008 Pavement Management Project (PMP), City Improvement Project 08-1,
were opened on April 3, 2008. Ten bids were received and analyzed for bid alternates. The
corrected bids are listed as follows:
Engineer's Construction Estimate
Budgeted Amount
$6,454,384.15
$6,566,671.31
$6,601,636.70
$6,630,401.66

Palda & Sons, Inc.
Northwest Asphalt, Inc.
Forest lake Contracting, Inc.
Park Construction Co.
Thomas & Sons, Inc.
Veit Inc.
Shafer Contracting Co.
C.S. McCrossan Construction, Inc.
Hardrives, Inc.
Ames Construction Co.
Staff has reviewed the bids and found them to be accurate and in order. These bid amounts
include the mill and overlay of Mendelssohn Avenue between Plymouth Avenue and
Medicine Lake Road (CIP S-013, page 97, $540,000 for two streets); and the installation of
storm sewer on Golden Valley Drive near Wisconsin Avenue (CIP SS-21 , page 123,
$75,000).
The bid amounts listed above also include a bid alternate for the use of recycled bituminous
pavement for Class 5 gravel, a contract savings of $33,800.00; and the use of an alternate
catch basin inlet protection product that was not an increase or decrease in the bid amount.
Sidewalk Shoulder Options:
The bids for the 2008 PMP project include alternate bids for the two foot wide concrete
shoulder between the five foot wide sidewalk and the back of the curb. The base bid
for this shoulder area was the brushed concrete finish that was discussed and
illustrated in the feasibility report. The two bid alternates included a stamped finish
utilizing the concrete stamp that was used in the City Hall entry project completed
recently; and an exposed aggregate finish.
The stamped concrete bid alternate for Palda & Sons resulted in an increase in the
construction cost of $5,950.00. The exposed aggregate bid alternate resulted in an
increase in the construction cost of $54,027.90.
Based upon the bid results, and the future maintenance requirements of the proposed
shoulder finishes, staff recommends that the base bid of a brushed finish for the
shoulder be adopted.
Stakinq and Enqineerinq Services:
Staff has received a proposal from the consulting engineering firm of Short Elliott
Hendrickson Inc.; (SEH) dated March 31, 2008, for construction staking and engineering
services for the 2008 PMP. The engineering services include specialized work in
geotechnical engineering for soil conditions, structural engineering for the helical piling
required for sanitary sewer replacement on Lowry Terrace, and environmental engineering.
The construction staking includes all survey work during construction, and record drawing
survey and drawing preparation following construction. The proposal includes a not to exceed
amount of $165,000.
Construction Observation:
Staff has received a proposal, dated April 9, 2008, for construction observation services for
the 2008 PMP from the consulting engineering firm of WSB & Associates, Inc. (WSB). This
contract includes one full-time person to provide inspection services to ensure that the project
is constructed to the City's technical specifications. The consultant will supplement City staff
that will also be working on the construction project. The proposal includes a not to exceed
amount of $110,656.
Street Liqht Replacement:
During the design of the 2008 PMP, 17 decorative street lights within the project area were
identified for removal and replacement due to conflicts with street improvements. Many of
these lights are in excess of 30-years-old and show signs of deterioration of the poles.
Therefore, staff and Xcel Energy recommend that the entire decorative street light system
within the project area be replaced in conjunction with the street reconstruction project. The
replacement of the street lights will include new poles, fixtures, and wiring, as well as
complete removal of the existing system.
The cost from Xcel Energy Outdoor Lighting for the removal and replacement of these street
lights is not to exceed $46,437.00. This cost was included in the construction costs for the
2008 PMP project.

Mr. Jeff Oliver
City Engineer
City of Golden Valley
7800 Golden Valley Road
Golden Vall~y, MN 55427-4588
Dear Jeff:
Thank you for the opportunity to continue to provide professional services to the City of Golden Valley
for the 2008 PMP Construction services. This letter serves as the Supplemental Letter Agreement in
accordance with the Agreement for Professional Services between the City of Golden Valley and SEH.
Background
The City of Golden Valley proposes to rehabilitate approximately 4 miles of local streets in 2008. The
neighborhood areas proposed for street improvements are located:
· East of TH 100, South of 34th Avenue (city limits), West of Noble and North of Culver Road
(including Culver)
The proposed improvements include construction of storm sewer pipe and drainage structures, sanitary
sewer repairs, sanitary sewer repair on Lowry Terrace including new pile foundation, relocation of
hydrants and reconstruction of streets with concrete curb and gutter.
The City has prepared the construction documents and will be managing the construction of this project.
SEH construction staking services and a record plan survey as well as some specialty services relating to
construction observation as described below and detailed in the task summary.
Scope of Work
Construction Staking
SEH will provide a survey crew to provide the construction staking for the 2008 PMP construction
project. Staking tasks for this project will include placement of horizontal and vertical control, centerline
or offset stakes, blue tops for gravel, blue tops for finished grade, storm sewer stakes, curb and gutter
stakes, sanitary sewer staking, and water main staking. All survey coordination for construction staking
will be between the survey crew chief and the City.
Record Plan Survey and Drawings
This work includes providing final top of structure surveys on new storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water
main manhole structures. The work also includes providing inverts for these new structures. Benchmarks
will be reestablished in .the construction areas in conjunction with the record survey; it is our
understanding that the City would also like us to electronically locate all of the new hydrants and gate
valves.

required with the installation of the lightweight material and subgrade correction work.
Schedule
We anticipate the construction staking to take place at the start of the 2008 construction season within the
months of May to November. The record plan survey will follow completion of the construction.
Compensation
SEH proposes to be compensated for the scope of work proposed in the Agreement on an hourly basis.
Compensation will be based on the hourly cost of personnel plus reimbursable expenses, including
reproductions, mileage, car allowance, and equipment. Additional services required beyond the tasks and
estimated hours as described can be negotiated or provided as extra work on an hourly basis. We have
estimated these costs to be $165,000.
This cost is an understanding of the project to date. If this document satisfactorily sets forth your
understanding of our agreement, please sign in the space below and return one copy to our office. We
look forward to working with you, your staff, and the community on this project. Thank you for the
opportunity to continue to work with the City of Golden Valley.

Re: 2008 Construction Services
Dear Ms. Clancy:
WSB & Associates, Inc. (WSB) is pleased to be able to continue our relationship with the City of Golden
Valley. For the past two construction seasons, our staffhas developed strong relationships with City staff
on many different levels while working on the PMP projects. Working for the City on this summer's
PMP project provides WSB with another opportunity to demonstrate our level of service and design
expertise to the City and its residents. We are proud of what we provide to our clients and the work that
we do.
We are proposing a familiar name to the City as the Construction Observer, Jake Newhall. We know the
City was very comfortable with Jake's work last summer, and Jake has expressed a desire to, again, work
with the City. WSB continues to be pleased with Jake's work in the field and in the office, and are sure
you will, again, find his services to be very valuable to the City. Because you know Jake personally, I
have not enclosed a resume for him. Should you desire an updated resume for Jake, I am happy to
provide it. In addition, WSB has other available staff members to assist the City. If there is an
opportunity for additional services, we will submit appropriate resumes for your consideration and will
bring prospective candidates over to the City should you wish to meet with them in person.
We have enclosed two copies of our standard professional services agreement including scope of work
and fee estimate based on our discussions with City staff. The scope and fees are based on my
conversations with your staffregarding anticipated hours and project duration. Similar to last year's
contract, we will submit monthly bills for hours worked, and are flexible as to actual contract start and
termination. As primary client contact for the City, I will be in touch with you periodically to discuss the
performance of Jake or any other staff we may provide, as well as your needs pertaining to work start and
completion.
Thank you again for this opportunity. Should you find the proposed agreement acceptable, please execute
both copies and return one to us. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 763-287-8311 should you have
any questions regarding this proposal.
Sincerely,
Enclosufes

3. E. 2. Quotes - Marked Squad Digital Camera and Interview Rooms Recording System
Prepared By
Stacy Altonen, Police Chief
Roger Johnson, Deputy Police Chief
Summary
The Police Department requests authorization from the City Council to purchase a digital
camera recording system for our marked police vehicles, and our booking room and two
interview rooms. The marked patrol vehicles system (V&E-092, page 49), is provided for in
the 2008-2012 Capital Improvement Program. The interview room recording system (8-016,
page 61) is listed in the 2007-2011 Capital Improvement Program.
The marked squad project involves installation of digital cameras in our ten marked police
patrol vehicles and the associated communications and computer infrastructure to support
storage and maintenance of the recordings. The amount budgeted for this project is $80,000.
The project to record audio and video in the booking room and interview rooms is an upgrade
to replace out of date and poorly functioning cassette audio equipment which was installed in
1995 when the building was remodeled. While having demonstrations for these projects we
located one vendor that can provide one software system and one server to store the audio
and video from both the patrol vehicles and the interview rooms, rather than installing two
separate systems. The amount budgeted for the interview room system is $25,000.
The purchase will be made under the State of Minnesota In-Car Video Contract V-24(5)
which is on file in this department and the vendor is L3 Communications, Mobile-Vision, Inc.,
The quote for the combined project is $99,604. The amount left over above this will be used
to pay for wiring pulls and electrical work in the Police Department building for the proper
connections for the equipment.
Recommended Action
Motion to authorize the Police Department to purchase a digital recording system from
Mobile-Vision, Inc.

3. F. Award Contract Extension for the Residential Curbside Recycling Contract
Prepared By
Jeannine Clancy, Director of Public Works
AI Lundstrom, Environmental Coordinator
Summary
Staff has been evaluating options with the Cities of Plymouth and Minnetonka to provide
recycling services to residential customers. After considerable study, staff is recommending
that the existing contract with Waste Management be extended for three years, with an option
for an additional three years. The existing contract ends December 31,2008.
The proposal from Waste Management would increase the hauling and the processing fee by
a percentage equal to the CPI and capped at 3% per year. However, the revenue sharing
formula would change. Currently, Golden Valley receives 100% of the revenue derived from
the sale of recycled materials. The proposal from Waste Management is to reduce that
amount to 75% for the term of the contract extension.
The revenue sharing has an overall impact on the rate to the resident and assists the City
with programs such as fall leaf drop off, spring brush pick-up and administrative costs
associated with Mighty Tidy Day. Staff believes that there are administrative cost savings
associated with continuing with the existing contractor and not changing vendors at this time.
Waste Management has indicated that they will make every effort to continue with the
existing pick-up day (Friday). However, due to uncertainty of contracts with adjacent
communities, Waste Management may require a maximum of two collection districts with
collection on two days each week. The days of collection would be Thursday and Friday of
each week.
