HomeMy WebLinkAboutVIII-10 Approve Detour Agreement No. 1058371 - Highway 55 Traffic Signal City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Council Members
From: Cody Mathisen – City Engineer
Date: January 21, 2025
Item: Resolution – Approve Detour Agreement No. 1058371 – Highway 55 Traffic Signal Replacements
Project S.P. 1910-57, Pleasant Drive and Westview Drive Intersections
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Attached for Council consideration is a resolution to approve the attached Detour Agreement that will
allow for MnDOT to designate portions of General Sieben Drive, South Frontage Road, and Westview Drive
as part of a local detour route during the summer of 2025.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
On September 4th, 2024, council adopted a resolution of intent to participate in traffic signal
replacements on Highway 55 at the intersections of Pleasant Drive and Westview Drive. In August of
2025, MnDOT will begin the construction of these replacements as well as other minor improvements at
these intersections.
In order to minimize impact to our local businesses and residents, MnDOT has collaborated with City
staff in identifying both a regional detour route as well as a local detour route. The regional detour, via
Goodwin Ave, CSAH 46, and Highway 61, will be intended to serve the majority of traffic (including
heavy truck traffic) that is passing through Hastings. The local detour route, via General Sieben Drive,
South Frontage Road, and Westview Drive, will be intended to serve as access for all local businesses
and residences along the Highway 55 corridor between General Sieben Drive and Highway 61.
It is anticipated the project will only require these detours for a period of two weeks, with only one
direction of travel being closed at a time for one week each.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
MnDOT has a policy for compensating municipalities when detour routes for their projects are
facilitated using local streets. The policy uses a method for determining the value of the extra “Road Life
Consumed” by the additional traffic on the local road during the time of the detour. Based on this policy
formula, the City will receive approximately $1,300.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending the Council adopt the attached resolution approving Detour Agreement No.
1058371 and authorizing the Public Works Director to execute and administer the agreement on the
City’s behalf.

B. Modification of the Detour Route. The State may modify the detour route or may add additional
roadways to the official detour during construction. The State will request concurrence from the City
for changes to the detour route. If such change increases the States total payment amount over the
maximum obligation in Article 3.2, the Agreement will be amended.
C. Axle Loads and Over-Dimension Loads. The City will permit 10-ton axle loads on the detour route.
Over-dimension loads will not be permitted except in cases of extreme emergency.
D. Traffic Control Devices. The State may install, maintain, and remove any traffic control devices it
considers necessary to properly control the detoured traffic. The State may paint roadway markings,
such as the centerline, edge lines, and necessary messages.
E. Detour Maintenance. The State will perform any necessary bituminous patching and ordinary
maintenance on the roadway or shoulder of the City streets used for the detour, at no cost or expense
to the City. Bituminous patching is defined as any work, including continuous full width overlays, less
than 100 feet in length. All State expenditures beyond those required for bituminous patching and
ordinary maintenance will be credited against the road life consumed reimbursement due the City.
F. Duration. The State will provide the City with advance notice identifying the dates the State intends to
place and remove the detour signing.
2.2. Basis of State Cost (Road Life Consumed). The State will reimburse the City for the road life consumed by
the detour using the following methods, as set forth in the Detour Management Study Final Report dated
January 1991, and updated by MnDOT's Policy on Cost Participation for Cooperative Construction Projects
and Maintenance Responsibilities between MnDOT and Local Units of Government.
A. The "Gas Tax Method" formula, multiplies the Combined Tax Factor per mile times the Average Daily
Traffic ("ADT") count of vehicles diverted from the Trunk Highway times the city street length in miles
times the duration of the detour in days to determine the State's cost for the road life consumed by the
detour. If an ADT changes, the parties will amend the Agreement.
B. The City may, at its option, perform an "Equivalent Overlay Method" analysis. A State-approved firm, at
no cost or expense to the State, must perform the testing and analysis. The City will keep records and
accounts to verify any claim it might bring against the State for additional costs using the "Equivalent
Overlay Method".
3. Payment
3.1. For Road Life Consumed. $1,286.81 is the State's estimated cost for the road life consumed by the detour
based on the data below:
Stage Tax Factor ADT Road Length
(Miles) Duration (Days) Cost
Stage 1&2 0.00513 12,374 1.42 12 $1,081.68
Stage 1&2 0.00513 12,489 0.14 12 $107.64
Business 0.00513 1,156 1.37 12 $97.49
Road Life Consumed Amount: $1,286.81
The State's total payment for the road life consumed by the detour is equal to the amount computed by
using the "Gas Tax Method" formula plus any amount determined by using the "Equivalent Overlay
Method" analysis that is in excess of twice the "Gas Tax Method" amount.
