Re:
Authorizing the Solicitation of Quotes – Highway 61 Spot Utility Work
The Council is requested to authorize staff to solicit quotes for several spot utility replacement activities
within and adjacent to Highway 61. This summer, MnDOT will be milling and overlaying Highway 61
th
from 5 Street south to Cannon Street, and the City has already entered into an agreement with MnDOT
for work on several utility related items to be performed by MnDOT’s contractor during that project.
There are several more intensive utility replacements within and adjacent to the Highway that require the
work of an underground or specialty contractor. None of the work would require excavation within the
Highway by the City’s contractor, but there may be short term left turn lane closures required during off-
peak times (9am-3pm). It is staff’s recommendation to contract this work separately so that it will be
completed prior to the application of the new pavement on the Highway. A map showing the affected
areas has been included for reference.
The work would be contracted to be completed by early May, as MnDOT’s project will begin during the
second week of May. Costs for the work would be funded by the City’s Water and Sewer Funds.
COUNCIL ACTION RECOMMENDED
Authorize staff to proceed with soliciting quotes for spot utility work along and adjacent to Highway 61.
