2.
## Item Discussion
a.
## Multi-Community Wellhead Protection Plan and Source Water Sustainability Updates
Water Resources Engineer Oddsson presented updates on the Multi-Community Wellhead Protection
Plan and Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA), noting the airport’s exclusion from the
updated map reduces regulatory complexity, and outlined separate timelines for Part 1 and Part 2 of the
plan; Part 2 will require a public hearing and Council adoption before submission. Council members asked
how vulnerability ratings for highly vulnerable areas are determined and how they could shift with long-
term water use; Water Resources Engineer Oddsson explained the evaluation process and the City’s
approach to prioritizing work in those areas. Council Member Hayford Oleary confirmed with Water
Resources Engineer Oddsson that revised vulnerable zones could allow boulevard rain gardens in some
areas.
Water Resources Engineer Oddsson also presented the Groundwater Supply Plan update, highlighting
usage trends and Richfield’s position at the bottom of the Prairie du Chien-Jordan aquifer, which means
later exposure to depletion than other communities drawing from the same source. City Council discussed
long-term sustainability, including whether undeveloped areas remain that could affect aquifer usage and
how new development’s impact is measured and factored into planning. City Manager Rodriguez
summarized the discussion.
b.
## Social Media Comments Discussion
Communications Manager Aitchison presented an analysis of the City’s social media presence, policy, and
strategy, recommending that comments continue to be allowed on posts across all platforms. Mayor
Supple reiterated that the City has no authority over the Richfield Community Facebook page, as it is not
City-run. Council Member Coleman-Woods noted that most of her feedback comes from the community
page and asked how staff plan to use social media to gather input on upcoming city plans.
City Council discussed current limits on comments, including the existing profanity filter, and shared
concerns about trolling and repeat commenters across platforms; Council Members noted staff had
observed select users commenting frequently across multiple community pages. City Manager Rodriguez
noted that disabling comments would not resolve the underlying issue and that staff still find value in the
feedback received. Mayor Supple raised concern about staff self-censoring based on anticipated feedback
and asked staff to explore ways to avoid this. City Manager Rodriguez summarized that Council directed
staff to continue allowing comments across all social media platforms.

c.
## Natural Resources Management Plan
Recreation Director Huemiller presented the Natural Resources Management Plan, with Becca Tucker of
Great River Greening outlining the organization’s history, its approach to plan creation, and how costs and
phasing will be addressed. Funding is anticipated in the 2027 budget/future budgets. City Council asked
about cost breakdowns by park and whether costs would reflect new work versus replacement of existing
infrastructure; Recreation Director Huemiller confirmed each park will have its own cost summary, with
Evie Morgan of Great River Greening noting the summary is intended as a guideline that will be
reassessed as projects begin. Great River Greening’s involvement concludes with this plan; Council
Member Hayford Oleary asked how much future work could be completed by staff versus contracted out,
which Recreation Director Huemiller said would be evaluated once the plan is complete.
Recreation Director Huemiller reviewed management objectives for Richfield Lake, Taft Park, and
Veterans Memorial Park. Wood Lake Nature Center Manager Paul Smithson reviewed objectives for
Wood Lake Nature Center. Council Member Hayford Oleary shared resident concerns about vegetation
levels and visibility at Richfield Lake, which Recreation Director Huemiller confirmed is a top objective of
the plan, and raised the need for pruning newly planted trees to maintain visibility windows. Council
Member Christensen noted increased visitation to Richfield Lake following Wood Lake’s closure, and
Mayor Supple agreed the lake generates more resident feedback than any other park. Mayor Supple also
noted that rebuilding the Donaldson Bridge remains a priority given resident use of that entrance to the
park. City Manager Rodriguez concluded with a summary of the presentation and discussion.

## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2023 Public Works completed a citywide ADA assessment of all pedestrian ramps and
sidewalks. The 2026 Citywide Concrete Project is part of a multi-year project to repair non-
compliant sidewalks and pedestrian ramps. The project includes replacement of non-compliant
sidewalk, curb, gutter, and other concrete, as necessary. All catch basins and manhole
structures in the area are also inspected and, if necessary, repaired as part of this project. A
map of the locations for the 2026 work is attached.
Bids for the concrete repair project were opened on July 9th, 2026. Standard Sidewalk Inc. was
the lowest responsive and responsible bidder in the amount of $395,806.75.
## RECOMMENDED ACTION

## HISTORICAL CONTEXT
As part of the City’s street maintenance program, cracked and heaved sidewalk, curb, gutter,
and other concrete work is completed each year.
## EQUITABLE OR STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS OR IMPACTS
The 2023 ADA Assessment identified all non-compliant sidewalks and pedestrian ramps in
accordance with ADA standards. The assessment utilized a priority scale based on various
factors, including proximity to schools, economic diversity, and accessibility to key areas of
interest. Richfield Public Works intends to address the highest-priority locations first, with the
long-term objective of repairing or replacing all non-compliant sidewalks and pedestrian ramps
within Richfield.
## POLICIES (RESOLUTIONS, ORDINANCES, REGULATIONS, STATUTES, ETC.)
Per the City's American with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan, sidewalks, trails, and
crossings are brought into compliance with the current ADA requirements as part of the City's
annual street maintenance concrete project.

## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
E- Clan, Inc., doing business as B&J Trees, has been selling trees during the holiday
season underneath the picnic pavilion in Veterans Parks for more than 20 years. The

time when there is little demand for pavilion rentals.
Preparation for tree sales takes place just before Thanksgiving Day and sales start no
earlier than the day after. Sales terminate no later than December 24 or when all
marketable trees have been sold, whichever occurs first. The term of the agreement is
four years, beginning November 10, 2026, and continuing through December 31, 2029.
The term of the license begins November 10 of each year through December 31 of each
year of the Agreement. On or after December 31 of any year during the term of the
Agreement, the City may terminate this License Agreement without cause by giving E-
Clan written notice of the termination.
## RECOMMENDED ACTION

trees under the picnic pavilion at Veterans Park.
## HISTORICAL CONTEXT

of trees for the holidays and fun winter activities for families, such as visits from Santa,
sleigh rides and more.
E- Clan is responsible for garbage removal during the term of the license and returning
the property to its original condition, including the removal of all trees, needles, sales
materials, the house trailer, light strings, and any other debris from the property. E- Clan

of outdoor recreation. E- Clan understands and agrees that these spaces collectively
are available for traditional recreational and park uses and must remain fully open to the
public. Any advertising signs placed by E- Clan must indicate that activities are
sponsored by the City of Richfield. E- Clan also understands and agrees that, except as
allowed under this Agreement, no other commercial uses are permissible. The City
Page 14 of 148
reserves the right to conduct or sponsor additional recreational activities, as well as
store recreational equipment, in the areas covered by this Agreement.
## EQUITABLE OR STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS OR IMPACTS
The City's partnership with E-Clan provides a market for reasonably-priced holiday
decorations and a community gathering place at the holidays, open to all members of
the community.
## POLICIES (RESOLUTIONS, ORDINANCES, REGULATIONS, STATUTES, ETC.)
Contracts and agreements of this type are typically reviewed and considered by City
Council.
## CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
With the 2026 holiday season approaching, the agreement will need to be renewed in a
timely fashion.
## FINANCIAL IMPACT
Revenues from this licensing agreement contribute to the Special Facilities fund
(20037), which manages mini-golf, the pavilion, and the community band shell.
E-Clan shall pay to the City a license fee in the amount of $10,235 for the 2026 season.
An initial payment of $500 is due no later than November 1 of each year of this
Agreement and the remaining balance is due no later than December 1 of that year.
The following year’s license fees are as follows:
2027 $10,644

## LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
## None

sales.

## Agenda Section: Consent Calendar
Agenda Item: 7.d.
## Report Prepared By:
## Jennifer Anderson, Support Services Manager
## Department Director:
## Jay Henthorne, Police Chief
## Item for Consideration:
Consider approval of the 2027 Food, Pools and Lodging agreement with the City
of Bloomington.
## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Bloomington and the City of Richfield have had a contract for over 34 years
for Bloomington Environmental Health to provide inspection and enforcement services
in the areas of food, beverage, lodging, therapeutic massage, body art and public
swimming pools along with plan check work for food services to Richfield.
The proposed contract for 2027 for these services will be $175,000 compared to the
2026 contract amount of $170,600. This is roughly a 2.50% increase over the dollar
amount paid to Bloomington in 2026. The increase is tied to increased benefit costs and
staff salaries.
## RECOMMENDED ACTION
By motion: Approve the agreement with the City of Bloomington for the provision of food, pools
and lodging inspection services for Richfield for 2027.
## HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Contained in the Executive Summary.
## EQUITABLE OR STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS OR IMPACTS
## POLICIES (RESOLUTIONS, ORDINANCES, REGULATIONS, STATUTES, ETC.)
The City of Bloomington has sufficient resources to provide a professional level of
inspection services to Richfield residents. Annual evaluations of their services have
shown they are providing efficient services in a cost-effective manner.
## CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
There are no critical timing issues.
## FINANCIAL IMPACT
A 2.50% budget increase has been communicated to Richfield by Bloomington, so the
amount of $175,000 has been captured in Richfield's 2027 budget.
Page 18 of 148
## LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney has reviewed the contract and has approved its contents.
## ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S)
The Council could decide to have Richfield provide its own food service inspections,
beverage and lodging and public swimming pool inspections and plan check food
services. However, the State would have to approve this change and would likely be
concerned about staffing, response and capacity issues. The cost of hiring the
necessary staff to provide the same level of services and administrative support would
be more than the current expenditures and would require a significant budget increase.

contractor with respect to all services performed under this contract. Bloomington represents that it
has, or will secure at its own expense, all personnel required in performing services under this
contract. Any and all personnel of Bloomington or other persons, while engaged in the performance

## Agenda Section: Consent Calendar
Agenda Item: 7.e.
## Report Prepared By:
## Jennifer Anderson, Support Services Manager
## Department Director:
## Jay Henthorne, Police Chief
## Item for Consideration:
Consider the approval of a request for the temporary expansion of the licensed
premises for Thompson's Fireside Pizza, Inc., d/b/a Fireside Foundry, located at
6736 Penn Avenue South, to allow for the outside service of beer and malt
beverages in their parking lot on Sunday, September 20, 2026, in conjunction with
Richfield's Open Streets at Penn Fest event.
## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On July 14, 2026, Thompson's Fireside Pizza, Inc., d/b/a Fireside Foundry requested
permission to serve beer and malt beverages outside in the parking lot area of their
licensed establishment in conjunction with Richfield's Open Streets at Penn Fest event.
While Fireside Foundry is currently licensed to sell intoxicating liquor, their license is
only valid for the interior and outside patio areas, and their license does not allow
alcohol service beyond their patio area.
This request for a temporary expansion of the licensed premises for Fireside Foundry
would allow for the service of beer and malt beverages only, and would be valid only on
Sunday, September 20, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. during Richfield's Open
Streets at Penn Fest.
All required information and documents have been provided. The Director of Public
Safety has reviewed all required information and documents and has found no basis for
denial.
## RECOMMENDED ACTION
By motion: Approve the request for a temporary expansion of the licensed
premises for Thompson's Fireside Pizza, Inc., d/b/a Fireside Foundry, located at
6736 Penn Avenue South, to allow for the outside service of beer and malt
beverages in their parking lot on Sunday, September 20, 2026, in conjunction with
Richfield's Open Streets at Penn Fest event.
## HISTORICAL CONTEXT
• The following requirements have been met:
o The City has been provided with a written narrative and drawing of the
parking area showing how Fireside Foundry will control the flow of patrons
purchasing beer and how they will be contained and monitored.
o Proof of liquor liability insurance covering the exterior of the premises has
Page 26 of 148
been provided showing First National Insurance Co. affording the
coverage.
o The applicant has contacted food sanitarians from the City of Bloomington
to ensure proper food handling practices are followed.
## EQUITABLE OR STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS OR IMPACTS
## POLICIES (RESOLUTIONS, ORDINANCES, REGULATIONS, STATUTES, ETC.)
Richfield City Code Section 1202.05 requires all applicants to comply with all of the
provisions of this code, as well as the provisions of Minnesota Statute Chapter 340A.
## CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
Open Streets at Penn Fest takes place on September 20, 2026, so approval by the City
Council is needed at the regular meeting on July 28, 2026.
## FINANCIAL IMPACT
This is a temporary expansion for the premises of their current alcohol license, so no
fee is required.
## LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
Minnesota Statute 340A.410, Subd. 7, states a licensing authority may issue a retail
alcoholic beverage license only for a space that is compact and contiguous and the
retail alcoholic beverage license is only effective for the licensed premises specified in
the approved application, which in this case, is the interior of their business only. In
previous years, the City attorney has advised the staff that the Council would need to
approve an expansion beyond the interior walls of any establishment not already
licensed for outdoor service.
## ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S)
The Council could deny the request for the temporary expansion of the licensed
premises Fireside Foundry. This would mean the applicant would not be able to serve
beer and malt beverages outside the parking lot area of their establishment during
Richfield's Open Streets at Penn Fest event.

## Report Prepared By:
## Sam Ellison, Project Engineer
## Department Director:
## Kristin Asher, Public Works Director
## Item for Consideration:
Approval of the bid tabulation and authorize the Mayor and City Manager to
execute a contract with JL Theis, Inc. for the 73rd Street/Diagonal Boulevard 2026
Sidewalk Project in the amount of $1,080,651.33, and authorize the City Manager
to approve contract changes up to $175,000 without further City Council
consideration.
## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City has received funding from the Metropolitan Council Regional Solicitation Active
Transportation Grant Program to construct new sidewalks and trails along the north side
of the 73rd Street/Diagonal Boulevard corridor between Portland Avenue and Cedar
Avenue in City right-of-way. The program is funded by a regional sales tax levied in the
metro area counties to support active transportation improvements (walking, biking,
## etc.). Metropolitan Council's Transportation Advisory Board administers the funding
program. The improvements were identified in the CIP beginning in 2025, with a 2028-
2029 design/construction timeline with the potential for advancement pending funding
acquisition. This project will improve safety for pedestrians and multi-modal users and
connect existing sidewalk and trail infrastructure. The project also connects multiple
existing sidewalks throughout the corridor closing a notable gap in pedestrian
infrastructure on the east side of Richfield. Pending award of the contract, the project
will enter the construction phase with work occurring in Fall of 2026 through Spring of
2027 with a completion date of June 1, 2027.
## RECOMMENDED ACTION
By Motion: Approve the bid tabulation and authorize the Mayor and City Manager
to execute a contract with JL Theis, Inc. for the 73rd Street/Diagonal Boulevard
2026 Sidewalk Project in the amount of $1,080,651.33, and authorize the City
Manager to approve contract changes up to $175,000 without further City Council
consideration.
## HISTORICAL CONTEXT
See executive summary.
## EQUITABLE OR STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS OR IMPACTS
Equity: Executing an agreement like this is standard city business. The Metropolitan
## Council Regional Solicitation Active Transportation Grant Program promotes equity by
creating improved non-motorized routes that help promote active transportation and
provide alternative forms of transportation for users. The improved infrastructure will
Page 28 of 148
combine with existing active transportation facilities on the corridor to provide equitable
access to everyone using the corridor.
Strategic Plan: Authorizing this agreement will progress towards sustainable
infrastructure financing and climate resilience by leveraging the availability of state-
funded grant programs to improve active transportation infrastructure within the city.

## City Council Meeting 7/28/2026
## Agenda Section: Consent Calendar
Agenda Item: 7.g.
## Report Prepared By:
## Karl Huemiller, Recreation Director
## Department Director:
## Karl Huemiller, Recreation Director
## Item for Consideration:
Consider approval of agreements with J. Becher and Associates, in the amount of
$139,850, for electrical work and US Mechanical, in the amount of $294,210 for
mechanical work on the Richfield Ice Arena lobby.
## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Veterans Park Improvement Project, funded through Local Option Sales Tax
general obligation bonds, includes renovating the Richfield Ice Arena lobby. The lobby,
original to the building’s 1971 construction, requires a modernized layout to provide the
amenities needed to meet the expectations of modern ice arena users. The updated
design will streamline check-in and concessions, widen walkways, and add two rentable
spaces, providing new revenue streams.
Bids for electrical and mechanical were solicited and opened on July 23, 2026. Each
scope of work received bids from four contractors.
Electrical — J Becker and Associates, Kirtland Electric, Laketown Electric, Gunnar
## Electric
Mechanical — US Mechanical, Schadegg Mechanical, MMC Inc, Peterson Sheet Metal
The lowest electrical base bid was submitted by J. Becher and Associates, which
Loeffler Construction, the project management company, recommends for award of
contract.
The lowest Mechanical base bid was submitted by US Mechanical, which Loeffler
Construction, the project management company, recommends for award of contract.
## RECOMMENDED ACTION
By Motion: Approve the agreement between the City of Richfield and J. Becher
and Associates, in the amount of $139,850, for the electrical work and US
Mechanical, in the amount of $ $294,210 for mechanical work in the Richfield Ice
Arena lobby and authorize the Mayor and City Manager to finalize and execute the
contract.
## HISTORICAL CONTEXT
In November 2024, voters approved $9 million in Local Option Sales Tax funding for
improvements at Veterans Memorial Park, including the pool and Ice Arena. On May 13,
Page 34 of 148
2025, Council approved an agreement with Loeffler Construction to manage the
Veterans Park Project, which includes the replacement of the roof of rink two at the
Richfield Ice Arena.
Renovation of the ice arena lobby was identified as part of the Vets Park Project to
ensure its viability for decades to come, adding another revenue stream and preventing
further costs associated with maintaining and repairing the aging infrastructure.
## EQUITABLE OR STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS OR IMPACTS
Equity: This project improves facilities that are often low or no cost to residents and
provide access to an indoor rink in the community. The arena is an important amenity
for families of all income levels living in the community.
Strategic Plan: This project best aligns with the strategic plan priority of Sustainable
Infrastructure addressing all sub-initiatives of asset management, comprehensive
funding, and sustainability efforts.
## POLICIES (RESOLUTIONS, ORDINANCES, REGULATIONS, STATUTES, ETC.)
## CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
In order to keep pace with the numerous sub-projects identified as part of the Veterans
Park Project, and to minimize disruption to the Richfield Ice Arena, work must begin in a
timely fashion.
## FINANCIAL IMPACT
Bids for both scopes of work are within the amount anticipated. Bids include all labor
and materials.
## LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The agreement has been reviewed by legal counsel.

witness the public bid opening for Bid Package #1 of the Richfield Ice Arena Lobby Remodel Project. Bid
Package #1 included the Mechanical and Electrical scopes of work.
Summary of Request for Quotes #1:
In line with public bidding law, scopes of work under $175,000 can be procured with a Request for Quote
process. LCC distributed the plans and specifications to (109) potential contractors and received responses
from (53) contractors. See attached RFQ Bid Tabulation for a list of the contractors that submitted quotes. We
have reviewed the quotes and determined that the lowest quote amount in each scope is responsive and
recommend those firms for award, with the exception of Albrecht Signs. Albrecht Sign’s did not submit on the

## City Council Meeting 7/28/2026
## Agenda Section: Consent Calendar
Agenda Item: 7.h.
## Report Prepared By:
## Rachel Lindholm, Sustainability Coordinator
## Department Director:
## Kristin Asher, Public Works Director
## Item for Consideration:
Consider approval of a bid tabulation and award a contract to North Metro
Companies, LLC for the USDA UCF Boulevard Tree Planting in the amount of
$269,068, and authorize the City Manager to approve contract changes under
$175,000 without further City Council consideration.
## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2023, Richfield applied for a USDA Urban Community Forestry (UCF) grant to remove ash trees
and replant diverse species, while increasing the City's tree canopy. The relevant trees were removed
last year and the City released bid specifications in late June for the planting, staking, and watering of
approximately 545 trees. This work will start in Fall of 2026 and the watering will continue in
2027. Bids for the tree planting project were opened on July 2nd, 2026. North Metro Companies,
LLC was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder in the amount of $269,068, which includes the
base bid for the planting effort ($220,693), alternate bid #1 for the tree watering through the 2027
growing season ($7,500), and alternate bid #2 for supplemental staking if needed ($40,875).
## RECOMMENDED ACTION
By Motion: Approve the bid tabulation and award a contract to North Metro
Companies, LLC for the USDA UCF Boulevard Tree Planting in the amount of
$269,068, and authorize the City Manager to approve contract changes under
$175,000 without further City Council consideration.
## HISTORICAL CONTEXT
In 2023, the USDA's Forest Service selected 385 grant proposals from 842 applications
and awarded more than $1 billion in IRA funds to entities "working to increase equitable
access to trees and green spaces, and the many benefits they provide." City staff were
notified on 10/12/23 of Richfield's proposal acceptance and letter of intent to award
funding. In 2025, 59 ash trees were removed as the initial grant activity, lower than the
initial projected number due to previous hazardous removals.
## EQUITABLE OR STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS OR IMPACTS
Equity Considerations: This project will increase the urban tree canopy by focusing all
planting efforts in the southeast corner of the City. This also means associated human
health, environmental and economic benefits will also benefit said communities directly.
Residents will not have to pay for costs associated with planting trees on their own or
waiting longer on the current wait list to receive a free tree. This project will also improve
resilience to climate change, pests, storm/extreme heat events through best
management and maintenance practices.
Page 47 of 148
This project is focused on census tracts 27053024802 and 27053024903, in part
because of their percentile rankings denoting low income and low median income, low
life expectancy, and high traffic proximity and volume. All trees identified for removal are
ash trees susceptible to Emerald Ash Borer and all locations identified for planting are in
these tracts.
Strategic Considerations: This grant award connects with the pillars of operational
excellence, sustainable infrastructure, high-quality workforce, and equity and inclusion
in the City's strategic plan. This award provides the financial resources for the City to
contract out important forestry work, alleviating demands on City staff and ensuring that
these efforts can continue and expand.
## POLICIES (RESOLUTIONS, ORDINANCES, REGULATIONS, STATUTES, ETC.)
Contracts estimated to have a value over $175,000 must be made by sealed bids,
solicited by public notice, and awarded to the lowest responsible bidder.
## CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
Award of the contract at this City Council meeting will allow staff and the contractor to
begin mobilizing for the fall planting effort and will ensure the project is executed as
designed.
## FINANCIAL IMPACT
• This contract is paid for entirely by the USDA UCF grant that the City was
awarded in 2023. This project is included in the 2025-2026 council-approved
budget and is also included in the 2026-2027 proposed budget. Staff have
received messaging from the National League of Cities about proposed Office of
Management and Budget rules that could significantly affect various current and
future grants. It is not staff's opinion that this project will be affected at this point.
• Four contractors submitted bids for the project, with base bids ranging from
$220,693 to $349,790.
## LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
• The bid opening was held on July 2, 2026 in accordance with legal requirements.
• The ad for bid was published on June 25, 2026 in the Sun Current and June 24,
2026 on QuestCDN.
• The City Attorney has reviewed the contract and will be available to answer
questions.

execute Master Utility Agreement No. 1062054 between the City of Richfield, the
## State of Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), and MnDOT's
selected design-build contractor, which will govern the replacement, repair,
and/or relocation of City-owned utilities as part of 494 Project 2.
## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Master Utility Agreement establishes a framework that will govern work performed
on City-owned utilities as part of 494 Project 2. Because the project will be delivered via
design-build delivery method, the precise extents of utility work are not yet finalized and
will be determined throughout the project design. The Master Utility Agreement allows
MnDOT to execute the design-build contract with the selected contractor and allows the
City to participate in all utility design decisions throughout the project.
## RECOMMENDED ACTION
By Motion: Adopt the resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to execute
Master Utility Agreement No. 1062054 between the City of Richfield, MnDOT, and
MnDOT's selected design-build contractor, which will govern the replacement, repair,
and/or relocation of City-owned utilities as part of 494 Project 2.
## HISTORICAL CONTEXT
This Master Utility Agreement (which closely resembles the Master Utility Agreement
approved for 494 Project 1) lays out a work order process for designing and performing
utility work throughout the project and gives the City Engineer authority to approve work
impacting City-owned utilities. The work order process establishes responsibilities for
each party on a case-by-case basis for each instance of work (each individual work
order). It is anticipated that work on this project will be primarily designed and performed
by the design-build contractor, with approval from the City, and that City-owned utilities
will remain under the ownership and maintenance obligations of the City after project
completion.
Work on City-owned utilities being impacted by the project will be paid for by MnDOT,
except for impacted City-owned utilities within County right-of-way per responsibilities
outlined in Minnesota Administrative Rule 8810.3300 (however, no such impacts in
County right-of-way are currently anticipated). The City may also request additional
"betterment" work to City-owned utilities, and would be responsible for paying the costs
associated with such work; staff do not anticipate requesting any betterment work at this
Page 50 of 148
time.
Project 2 will build off work performed under Project 1, completing MnDOT's vision for
the corridor. Work to be completed includes extension of E-ZPass lanes on 494 from
35W to Highway 77, pavement reconstruction and drainage on 494 from Lyndale
Avenue to 24th Avenue, pavement reconstruction on 35W from 82nd Street to 76th
Street, and bridge replacements including the CPKC Railroad bridge over 494 and
Highway 77 over 494.
## EQUITABLE OR STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS OR IMPACTS
None at this time. Approval of interagency ownership and maintenance agreements is
routine City business when partnering with other agencies on road or highway
reconstruction projects.
## POLICIES (RESOLUTIONS, ORDINANCES, REGULATIONS, STATUTES, ETC.)
• Approval of this master utility agreement is necessary for the project to continue
moving forward.
• The Council approved Municipal Consent of I-494 Project 2 at the March 10,
2026 council meeting.
## CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
The Master Utility Agreement needs to be executed prior to the October 9th project
letting.
## FINANCIAL IMPACT
• The project team has not identified any required utility relocation costs which the
City would be responsible for.
• Any potential utility betterments requested by the City during the design-build
process will be the responsibility of the respective utility (water, wastewater,
and/or stormwater).
## LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney has reviewed the agreement and will be available at the meeting to
answer any questions.
## ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S)
## None

## MASTER UTILITY AGREEMENT WITH
## THE CITY OF RICHFIELD
THIS MASTER UTILITY AGREEMENT (MUA) is made and entered into this _____ day of
, 2026 among the State of Minnesota, acting through its Commissioner
of Transportation, (MnDOT); the City of Richfield, acting through its City Council, and including all of
its agents, contractors, and subcontractors (Utility Owner); and , a
[joint venture] [ Corporation] [partnership], including all of its agents,
contractors, and subcontractors (Contractor).
## RECITALS
MnDOT has entered into a design-build contract (DB Contract) with the Contractor to design and
construct State Project Number 2785-462 on Trunk Highway Number 494 (Project). The Project is
located I-494 from U.S. 169 to 0.2 mile east of 24th Ave. and on I-35W from W. 75th St. to W. 85th
St. in the Cities of Richfield, Edina and Richfield. The Project includes mobility and safety
improvements including the replacement of I-35W/82
nd
St. interchage and I-494/CPKC railroad
bridge.
The Utility Owner owns and operates buried watermains and buried sanitary sewers, their fixtures,
and related equipment (Facilities) inside the limits of the Project. The Project may cause changes to
the Facilities. These changes may include relocation, In-Place/Out-of-Service Work, protection in
place, removal, replacement, reinstallation, and/or modification of the Facilities. The Utility Owner
has requested the State to include this utility work in the DB Contract because doing so may
eliminate duplication of services, facilitate activity coordination, simplify supervision, and expedite
Project construction.
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 161.46, subdivision 5, the State may relocate the Utility
Owner’s Facilities as part of the Project on the trunk highway system. Pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, section 161.46, subdivision 5, the Utility Owner appoints the State as its agent to design
and construct the relocation work as part of the Project.
Page 52 of 148
## S.P. 2785-462 (T.H. 494)
## Agreement Number 1062054
Page 2 of 22
MnDOT requires the Contractor to include the costs of performing this utility work in its proposal
price for the DB Contract.
The Contractor will conduct all or a portion of the utility work pursuant to this MUA. The parties
agree to ensure that the work is performed according to all applicable requirements.
In order to minimize delays, uncertainties, risks, and additional Project costs, the parties must
cooperate with each other to ensure that all necessary relocations of Facilities are performed and
closely coordinated with the Contractor’s work under the Project.
Because the Facilities are located on public Right of Way, the Utility Owner is not eligible for
reimbursement of its relocation costs.
The Utility Owner will be responsible for all other costs, including Betterments. The Utility Owner will
either perform this work or reimburse the Contractor for performing it.
State law requires a written agreement among the parties to set forth the terms and conditions for
the design, construction, and payment of the relocation work.
## I. Master Agreement
This MUA establishes a general framework for processing the Project Utility Work, whether
the Contractor or the Utility Owner performs the work. The Utility Work to be performed will
be set forth in detail in Work Orders issued under this MUA. Section VI describes the
process for issuing Work Orders.
A. Definitions: The definitions of the terms in Exhibit A apply when they are used in the
MUA, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
B. Legal Authority: The Utility Owner and the Contractor possess the legal authority to
enter into this MUA and have taken all actions required by their procedures, by-laws,
and/or applicable law to exercise that authority, lawfully authorize their undersigned
signatories to execute this MUA, and to bind the Utility Owner and the Contractor to
its terms. The Utility Owner will attach a Resolution, generally in the form in Exhibit F,
to this MUA. Minnesota Statutes, sections 161.45 and 161.46 authorize MnDOT to
enter into this MUA. The persons executing this MUA on behalf of the Utility Owner,
MnDOT, and the Contractor have full authorization to do so.
C. Delegation to the Contractor: MnDOT will perform the design and construction of the
Project by means of a DB Contract with the Contractor that MnDOT has procured in
compliance with Minnesota Statutes, sections 161.3410-.3428. MnDOT’s entry into
this DB Contract may have an impact on the Project Utility Work, including, without
limitation, matters relating to scheduling and coordination. MnDOT may delegate to
the Contractor the duty to perform certain MnDOT obligations in lieu of MnDOT
performing them. MnDOT will retain its obligations to pay the Utility Owner or the
Page 53 of 148

## Agreement Number 1062054
Page 3 of 22
Contractor, and to collect payment from the Utility Owner or Contractor, as applicable,
for performing the required Utility Work.
D. Term: This MUA is effective on the date MnDOT obtains all signatures required by
Minnesota Statutes, section 16C.05, subdivision 2. In no event will the term of this
MUA exceed a duration of five years. No Work Order will survive the expiration of
this MUA. This MUA will continue until the earlier of five years or when:
1. All of the Project Utility Work has been completed;
2. MnDOT makes the final payment owed to the Utility Owner, if any; and
3. The Utility Owner repays MnDOT for the Contractor’s performance of any
Utility Work for which the Utility Owner was responsible for the cost.
E. Cancellation: MnDOT may terminate this MUA at any time, with or without cause, on
30 Calendar Days written notice to the Contractor and the Utility Owner. The
termination of this MUA does not relieve the Utility Owner of any obligations under the
Notice and Order.
1. Cancellation Without Cause: MnDOT may cancel this MUA at any time if it
determines that doing so is in MnDOT’s or the public’s best interest. Upon
termination, all finished and unfinished documents, data, studies, surveys,
drawings, maps, models, photographs, reports, and other material that the
Utility Owner and the Contractor prepared under this MUA will become
MnDOT’s property at MnDOT’s discretion. The Contractor and Utility Owner
will be entitled to payment, on a pro rata basis, for satisfactorily performed
services.
2. Cancellation or Suspension for Insufficient Funding: MnDOT may cancel or
suspend this MUA if the Minnesota Legislature, or another funding source,
does not provide sufficient funds to pay for the Utility Work. In the event of
this termination or suspension, the Contractor and Utility Owner will be entitled
to payment, on a pro rata basis, for satisfactorily performed services to the
extent funds are available.
3. Cancellation for Cause or Default: If the Utility Owner or the Contractor fail to
fulfill their obligations under this MUA in a timely and proper manner, or if
either party otherwise breaches this MUA, MnDOT has the right to terminate
this MUA for cause upon giving the Utility Owner and the Contractor written
notice and a 30-Calendar-Day opportunity for the defaulting party to cure the
default or show cause why the termination is inappropriate. Such termination
will be at MnDOT’s sole discretion and will not limit any other available
remedy. Upon termination, all finished and unfinished documents, data,

## Agreement Number 1062054
Page 4 of 22
studies, surveys, drawings, maps, models, photographs, reports, and other
material that the Utility Owner and the Contractor prepared under this MUA
will become MnDOT’s property at MnDOT’s discretion. The Contractor and
Utility Owner will be entitled to payment, on a pro rata basis, for satisfactorily
performed services.
a. Notwithstanding the above, the Utility Owner and the Contractor will
not be relieved of liability to MnDOT for any damages MnDOT sustains
due to any breach of this MUA. MnDOT may withhold any payment to
the Utility Owner or the Contractor to mitigate its damages until the
exact amount of damages due to MnDOT from the Utility Owner or the
Contractor is determined.
b. If it is determined for any reason after cancellation that the Contractor
or Utility Owner was not in default, or that the Utility Owner’s or the
Contractor’s action or inaction was excusable, the cancellation will be
treated as a cancellation without cause, and the rights and obligations
of MnDOT and the Utility Owner or Contractor (as applicable) will be
the same as if MnDOT had canceled the MUA without cause, as
described in Article I.E.1.
F. Data Practices: All parties must comply with the Minnesota Government Data
Practices Act (Minnesota Statutes, chapter 13), as it applies to any data received,
collected, stored, or disseminated by a party to this MUA or the work performed under
it. The Act provides for civil liability for failure to comply with its requirements.
G. Conflict: In the event of a conflict between this MUA, its incorporated material, or its

1. Title 23, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 645, and the edition of the FHWA
## Program Guide: Utility Adjustments and Accommodation on Federal Aid
Highway Projects (Federal Regulation), in effect at the execution of this MUA,
and any subsequent amendments and replacements;
2. MnDOT’s Policy for Accommodation of Utilities on Highway Right of Way;
3. All exhibits and policies referenced herein.
C. General Criteria and Standards: All Utility Work must be consistent with this MUA
and the Utility Owner’s current, reasonable, written specifications; standards of
practice; construction methods; and any applicable permit requirements.
1. If the Contractor is performing the design, the Utility Owner must provide the
necessary written specifications, standards of practice, and construction
methods to MnDOT and the Contractor no later than the beginning of the
design. If the Utility Owner does not provide these documents, the Contractor
will be under no obligation to follow them.
2. If the Utility Owner is performing the design, it must provide all current written
specifications, standards of practice, and construction methods to MnDOT and
the Contractor no later than the date the Work Order for the Utility Work is
signed.
D. Plans: The plans for the design of the Utility Work must show at least the existing
topography, Right of Way, lanes of travel, the x and y coordinates of the Facilities’
location, and the z coordinate of the Facilities’ location, if applicable.
1. The most recent plans and specifications will govern the scope of the Utility
Work. When the final plans are completed they will supplement or replace
any previous plans or specifications, as applicable.
## III. Quality Management
A. If the DB Contract requires that the Contractor perform certain Utility Work, the
Contractor will be responsible for the quality management of the Utility Work at its
own cost. Quality management will include quality planning, control, assurance, and
improvement. The Utility Owner may conduct Inspections of the Contractor’s work
and any oversight activities it deems necessary. The Utility Owner will operate all
valves and supervise all shut offs and disconnections for the construction of the Utility

## Agreement Number 1062054
Page 6 of 22
B. If the Utility Work is added to the Contractor’s work according to a Work Order, the
Utility Owner will be responsible for the quality control of that Utility Work, unless the
Work Order describes otherwise. Any quality control the Contractor elects to provide
for the Utility Owner will be in addition to, not in lieu of, the Utility Owner’s quality
control.
## IV. Coordination
The Utility Owner, MnDOT, and the Contractor will coordinate their efforts and cooperate with
each other to ensure that the party performing any work does so promptly and without
disturbance to other Project work, minimizes delay and uncertainty, and eliminates excess
cost. Coordination will include the following tasks.
A. Initial Coordination Meeting: When the party preparing the plans achieves a level of
design where utility conflicts can be determined, the Contractor and the Utility Owner
will conduct an initial coordination meeting before beginning the Work Order process.
At this meeting, the Contractor and the Utility Owner will address pertinent information
for the Utility Design Sheets (UDSs) and discuss potential conflicts. Once the
Contractor has the UDS information, a preliminary level of design, and estimated
costs, it will schedule a meeting with MnDOT and the Utility Owner to:
1. Review the Final Design and construction schedules for the work at each UDS
location;
2. Review proposed conflict resolutions;
3. Coordinate the performance of the Project work with the Utility Work at each
UDS location; and
4. Negotiate the Work Orders.
B. Coordination of Relocations: The Contractor will avoid relocating the Utility Owner’s
Facilities to the extent practicable. If the Contractor and the Utility Owner cannot
agree whether a relocation can be avoided, MnDOT will determine the appropriate
course of action at its discretion. When practicable, the Facilities will be left in-place
and protected. When physical relocation of the Facilities is not reasonably avoidable,
the Utility Owner will relocate (or allow the Contractor to relocate) those Facilities.
The Utility Owner must use its best efforts to cooperate with MnDOT and the
Contractor to identify any joint users of the Facilities and to assist in the Utility Work.
C. Change in Contractor’s Design: If the Contractor changes the design of a relocation
to which the Utility Owner has agreed, and one of the parties has commenced the
design or physical construction of that relocation, the Contractor and the Utility Owner
must coordinate to change the design and/or relocation of those Facilities.

confer to resolve any comments or disagreements regarding the Work Order through
good faith negotiation. The Contractor will prepare the Work Order after the parties
resolve the comments or disagreements.
D. Submission/Response/Execution: The Contractor will provide notice of the Utility
Work and its schedule in a Work Order to the Utility Owner. The Utility Owner will
respond (by executing or commenting on problems) to all Work Orders no more than
14 Calendar Days after receiving them. The Contractor shall submit four originals of
each Work Order (including any exhibits) to MnDOT for Approval upon execution by
the Utility and Contractor. MnDOT will respond with comments no later than 10
Working Days after receipt. Failure to execute a Work Order will not excuse any
party’s failure to perform any legal obligation.
E. Work Order Effective Date: A Work Order and the obligations therein will be effective
on the date MnDOT obtains all required signatures under Minnesota Statutes, section
16C.05, subdivision 2.
F. Notice of Completion: Upon completion of the Utility Work, the party who performed it
will provide a notice of completion to the other party.
## VII. Performance of the Utility Work
All Utility Work must follow the terms of the Notice and Order and the Work Order. The
Contractor and the Utility Owner may split the responsibilities for the design and construction
elements of the Utility Work at any particular UDS location, or perform one or both of the
elements itself, according to this section.
A. Responsible Party: The Work Orders (Exhibits C(1) and C(2)) indicate which party
will be responsible for designing and constructing the Utility Work at a particular UDS
location. That party must complete all Utility Work pursuant to the Notice and Order.
B. Time of Essence: Time is of the essence in the performance of any Utility Work.
## C. Design
1. Contractor Design: The Contractor may design the Utility Work along with the
Project Work if the Utility Owner so authorizes in a Work Order. The
Contractor must complete the design according to the schedule in the Work
Order. The design will be subject to the Utility Owner’s Approval by execution
of a Design Approval Letter (Exhibit D(1)). The Utility Owner will not
unreasonably withhold this Approval.

2. Utility Owner Design: The Utility Owner may design the Utility Work according
to a Work Order. The Utility Owner must complete the design according to the
schedule in the Work Order. The design will be subject to the Contractor’s
Approval by execution of a Design Approval Letter (Exhibit (D(2)). The
Contractor will not unreasonably withhold this Approval.
## D. Construction
1. Contractor Construction: The Contractor may construct the Utility Work along
with the Project Work if the Utility Owner so authorizes in a Work Order. The
Contractor must complete the construction according to the schedule in the
Work Order. The construction will be subject to the Utility Owner’s Inspection
and Approval by execution of a Construction Inspection Acceptance Letter
(Exhibit E(1)). The Contractor must provide as-built plans of the Facilities to
MnDOT and the Utility Owner no more than 90 Calendar Days after receiving
## the Construction Approval Letter (Exhibit E(3)). Notwithstanding anything in
this MUA or Minnesota Rules, part 8810.330 to the contrary, the Utility Owner
will not be liable for damages that result from the Contractor’s failure to
perform the Utility Work.
2. Utility Owner Construction: The Utility Owner may construct the Utility Work
according to a Work Order. The Utility Owner must complete the construction
according to the schedule in the Work Order. Construction will be subject to
the Contractor’s Inspection and Acceptance by execution of a Construction
Inspection Acceptance Letter (Exhibit E(2)). The Utility Owner must provide
as-built plans of the Facilities to MnDOT no more than 90 Calendar Days after
receiving the Construction Acceptance Letter (Exhibit E(2)).
3. Traffic Control: The Contractor will, at its own cost, provide traffic control for
any Utility Work, regardless of which party performs that Utility Work.
4. Utility Owner to Perform Inspection: The Utility Owner will Inspect any Utility
Work that the Contractor constructs. The Utility Owner will coordinate
Inspections with the Contractor.
a. The Utility Owner may Inspect the Contractor’s construction Utility
Work at any time. The Utility Owner will perform a final inspection no
more than 30 Calendar Days (or another time period to which the
parties agree) after the Contractor completes this work. The 30-
Calendar-Day period (or other agreed period) will begin at the time the
Contractor notifies the Utility Owner, in writing, that it has completed
the Utility Work. If the Utility Work appears to meet the Technical
## Criteria/Standards/Requirements in Article II, the Utility Owner will
provide the Contractor with a signed Construction Inspection
Page 60 of 148
## S.P. 2785-462 (T.H. 494)
## Agreement Number 1062054
Page 10 of 22
Acceptance Letter (Exhibit E(1)) no more than 14 Calendar Days after
its completion. The Utility Owner will have the right to reject Utility
Work that does not meet the Technical
Criteria/Standards/Requirements. If the Utility Owner rejects any of
the Utility Work, it must notify the Contractor, in writing, of its grounds
for rejection and provide suggestions for correcting any problems. The
Utility Owner will review the revised Utility Work no more than 7
Calendar Days after receiving notice of its completion, unless the Work
Order requires a different time period.
b. At the time MnDOT conducts its final Inspection of the Project (or
earlier if the parties so agree), MnDOT and the Contractor will give the
Utility Owner a written notice providing the opportunity to perform a
final Inspection of the Utility Work. If the Utility Owner determines that
the completed Utility Work is consistent with the Technical
Criteria/Standards/Requirements in Article II, it will provide the
## Contractor with a signed Construction Inspection Approval Letter
(Exhibit E(3)). As part of the Inspection, the Contractor must provide
the Utility Owner with a certification by a Minnesota-licensed
Professional Engineer indicating that the Utility Work was constructed
according to the Approved design and the Work Order requirements.
c. The Utility Owner’s Inspection, Acceptance, and Approval of the Utility
Work will not be construed as the Utility Owner’s waiver of any Claim it
may have under applicable law.
E. Permits: The party responsible for constructing the Utility Work at a particular UDS
location will be responsible for obtaining all necessary permits. These permits include
the MnDOT Utility Permits and those from local authorities with jurisdiction over the
Right of Way used for Utility Work outside the Project limits. All parties must
cooperate in that process as needed. When the Contractor is responsible for the
Utility Work, the Utility Owner and the Contractor agree to coordinate to prepare and
submit the MnDOT Application for Utility Accommodation on Trunk Highway Right of
Way, Form 2525 (Utility Permit), as necessary. To the extent practicable, all Utility
Permits will be issued subsequent to the Final Design of the Utility Work for the
respective Work Order.
F. Incidental Utility Work: Regardless of which party is responsible for performing the
Utility Work, the Contractor will be solely responsible for performing any Incidental
Utility Work. Incidental Utility Work includes all In-Place/Out-of-Service Work and
Protection In-Place of Facilities.
## G. Prequalified Subcontractors/Subconsultants: If the Contractor is responsible for
designing and/or constructing the Utility Work, it must use a subcontractor or
subconsultant that the Utility Owner has pre-qualified to perform that work or become
prequalified itself. The Utility Owner will prepare and provide the Pre-Qualified
Page 61 of 148
## S.P. 2785-462 (T.H. 494)
## Agreement Number 1062054
Page 11 of 22
Consultants and Contractors List to MnDOT and the Contractor no more than seven
Calendar Days after this MUA’s execution. The Utility Owner will provide updates to
the list as needed to MnDOT and the Contractor. If the Utility Owner does not provide
a list, the Contractor may use other subcontractors or subconsultants. If the
subcontractors or subconsultants on the list are not reasonably available, the
Contractor may use other subcontractors or subconsultants upon receiving the Utility
Owner’s Approval.
## VIII. Responsibility for Cost
A. General: Applicable Laws of the State of Minnesota, including Minnesota Statutes,
section 161.45 and 161.46, and Minnesota Rules, part 8810.3300, subpart 3 will
determine cost responsibility between MnDOT and the Utility Owner.
B. Change in Contractor’s Design: Regardless of the initial cost responsibility, if the
Contractor changes the design of a relocation to which the Utility Owner has agreed,
and one of the parties has commenced that relocation, the Contractor will be
responsible for paying the resulting cost.
C. Dispute Resolution: If there is a Dispute concerning cost responsibility, the parties
will attempt to resolve that Dispute according to the provisions of Article XVIII below.
If a good faith Dispute continues after that attempt, and if MnDOT consents in writing,
the parties will proceed with the Utility Work at MnDOT’s cost, subject to MnDOT
reserving all applicable legal and equitable rights to later pursue reimbursement, plus
interest and costs, expenses, and damages, from the Utility Owner or the Contractor.
D. Depreciation: Depreciation credit will only be allowed to MnDOT or the Contractor to
the extent authorized by 23 CFR 645.117 (h)(2) for the depreciation or deterioration
of replaced or altered Facilities.
## E. Salvage
1. If the Contractor recovers materials when performing the Utility Work that no
party will reuse, those materials will become the Contractor’s property.
F. Betterments: The Utility Owner is responsible for the cost of any Betterments to its
Facilities.
## IX. Payment
A. PAYMENT FOR RELOCATION WORK: The State will determine the cost of the
Utility Work on a contract-unit-price basis. The Utility Owner authorizes the State to
pay the Contractor directly for the relocation work.
Page 62 of 148
## S.P. 2785-462 (T.H. 494)
## Agreement Number 1062054
Page 12 of 22
1. The Utility Owner agrees to pay the State the total cost it incurs to relocate the
Facilities. The total cost will include:
a. The design engineering, construction and construction engineering
cost, which consists of all of the Contractor’s bid item costs to
satisfactorily relocate the Facilities according to plans, specifications,
and special provisions;
2. Upon execution of a Work order, the State will issue the Utility Owner an
invoice for the amount specified in the cost schedule. Pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, section 161.46, subdivision 5, the Utility Owner will promptly
reimburse the State for any relocation costs in which the federal government
does not participate.
## X. Betterment
A. As MnDOT determines at its discretion, Betterment work may be eligible to be
performed if:
1. It is compatible with the Project Work;
2. It would not Interfere with the Project Schedule; or
3. Separating the Betterment work from any related Utility Work that the
Contractor is responsible for performing is feasible.
B. The Utility Owner will be responsible for the cost of any Betterments. If the Utility
Owner wishes to include eligible Betterment work at a location where the Contractor
is responsible for performing the Utility Work, the Utility Owner will negotiate the cost
for that Betterment work directly with the Contractor. The Utility Owner must provide
a copy of that lump sum amount or actual cost estimate to MnDOT.
1. If the Utility Owner authorizes the Contractor to do the Betterment work,
MnDOT, the Utility Owner, and the Contractor must execute a Work Order
describing the terms and conditions of that work. Upon the execution of the
Work Order, the Utility Owner will pay the negotiated price of the Betterment
work to MnDOT. MnDOT will then add the Betterment work to the DB
Contract with the Contractor.
2. If the parties cannot agree to a lump sum cost for the Betterment work, the
Contractor will perform the work on a time and materials basis pursuant to the
DB Contract. The Utility Owner will pay MnDOT the total of costs actually
incurred on that basis.
Page 63 of 148
## S.P. 2785-462 (T.H. 494)
## Agreement Number 1062054
Page 13 of 22
a. If the Contractor performs the work on an estimated time and materials
basis, and the actual costs for the work exceed the estimated amount,
the Utility Owner will promptly pay those excess costs to MnDOT.
b. If the Contractor performs the work on an estimated time and materials
basis, and the actual costs for the work are less than the estimated
amount, MnDOT will promptly refund the remaining amount to the
Utility Owner. MnDOT will make that refund no more than 30 Calendar
Days after receiving an invoice and supporting documentation for that
work.
3. If the Utility Owner does not accept the Contractor’s offered price for the
Betterment work, the Utility Owner may reject that price. The Utility Owner
may then select a different contractor to perform the Betterment work,
provided that the performance complies with the Contractor’s Project
schedule. The Utility Owner will, according to Minnesota Rules part
8810.3300, be responsible for claims and damages arising from the Utility
Owner’s failure to meet the deadline established in an applicable Notice and
Order.
## XI. Scheduling
A. The performing party will complete any design, construction, and Inspection of Utility
Work according to the schedule contained in the Work Order. The parties agree to
negotiate the use of acceleration methods (e.g., imposing overtime work or importing
contractors from outside the local area) in good faith if necessary to meet the
Contractor’s scheduling requirements. This clause will not be construed as giving a
party unilateral authority to order acceleration, except that this clause will not remove
MnDOT’s authority (if any) under the Design-Build Contract to direct acceleration by
the Contractor.
B. Where the Utility Owner designs the Utility Work, the Contractor will review that
design and respond no more than 14 Calendar Days after receiving it, unless the
Work Order requires a different time period. If the design is consistent with the
performance standards described herein, the Contractor must Approve it and notify
MnDOT and the Utility Owner of its Approval within this time period. If the design
does not meet performance standards, the Contractor must submit its comments to
the Utility Owner and notify MnDOT within this time period.
C. The Utility Owner will have the right to reject any design work that does not meet the
Technical Criteria/ Standards/Requirements described in Section II. If it rejects any
design work, the Utility Owner must immediately notify MnDOT and the Contractor, in
writing, of its grounds for rejection and suggestions for correcting the problem. The
Utility Owner will review the revised design work no more than 7 Calendar Days after
receiving it, unless the Work Order requires a different time period.

## S.P. 2785-462 (T.H. 494)
## Agreement Number 1062054
Page 14 of 22
D. If the Utility Owner is constructing the Utility Work, it may not begin until it receives
the executed Work Order. The Utility Owner must notify the Contractor when it will
begin construction according to the time period in the Work Order.
E. Where the Contractor performs the design for the Utility Work, the Utility Owner will
review the Contractor’s design no more than 14 Calendar Days after receiving it,
unless the Work Order requires a different time period. If the design is consistent with
the performance standards described herein, the Utility Owner must Approve it and
notify MnDOT and the Contractor of the Approval within this time period. If the design
does not meet performance standards, the Utility Owner must submit its comments to
the Contractor and notify MnDOT within this time period. The Contractor may not
begin construction of the Utility Work until it receives an executed Work Order.
## XII. Deadlines and Delays
A. No party will be liable for any delay or failure to meet any obligation in this MUA if that
delay or failure is caused by “Force Majeure.” Any delay or failure due to a Force
Majeure will not constitute default.
B. If the Utility Owner fails to meet a deadline, and that failure is not due to Force
Majeure, the Utility Owner must pay MnDOT the actual documented costs and
damages MnDOT incurs. The Utility Owner must also pay the Contractor the actual
documented costs and damages the Contractor incurs because of the Utility Owner’s
delay. If the following conditions are satisfied, the Contractor will bear 100 percent of
the risk of utility delays, up to an aggregate amount of 4 Calendar Days for the
Project (regardless of how many of the Utility Owner’s Facilities the Project affects):
1. The Utility Owner has provided satisfactory evidence to MnDOT that it has
fulfilled its obligation to coordinate with the Contractor to prevent such delays;
2. The Utility Owner has attempted to negotiate a reasonable solution to the
utility delay pursuant to Article XI.A, if applicable; and
3. The Utility Owner has obtained, or is in a position to timely obtain, all
applicable Approvals, authorizations, certifications, consents, exemptions,
filings, leases, licenses, permits, registrations, options, and/or required rulings
that are its responsibility to obtain.
C. If any party fails to meet deadlines set in a Work Order, then any affected time
deadlines for any other party’s design, construction, and/or Inspection of the Utility
Work will be revised accordingly.
## XIII. Approvals and Acceptances

## XV. Utility Ownership, Operation, and Maintenance
A. The Utility Owner will be solely responsible for operating and maintaining its Facilities.
B. Once the Utility Work is complete, the Utility Owner will be the owner of the Utility
Work and must maintain the Facilities at its own expense. The Utility Owner must
follow the terms of the Utility Permit when it performs any service or maintenance
work. The Utility Owner may only open and disturb the trunk highway Right of Way
without a Utility Permit in the case of an emergency that is dangerous to the public
and requires immediate attention. Upon learning of an emergency, the Utility Owner
must immediately notify the State Patrol. The Utility Owner must take all necessary
and reasonable safety measures to protect the public and must cooperate fully with
the State Patrol. In this event, the Utility Owner must request a permit from the
proper authority no later than the following Working Day.
## XVI. Continuity of Service
A. All Facilities must remain fully operational during all phases of construction, except as
the Utility Owner specifically allows or Approves in writing.
B. To the greatest extent practicable, the Contractor must take measures to ensure that
all of the Facilities remain operational at all times. The Work Order must describe any
necessary interruptions of service, including shut downs and temporary diversions
that the Utility Owner has Approved. If the Contractor is responsible for performing
the Utility Work, the Contractor, at its own cost, must do the following to maintain
continuity:
1. Coordinate the schedule, design, construction, and Inspection of the Utility
## Work with the Utility Owner;
2. Keep the Utility Owner fully informed about changes that may affect the
## Facilities;
3. Include the Utility Owner when making decisions that affect the Facilities so
that the Utility Owner can make arrangements to provide uninterrupted or
minimally interrupted service to its customers; and
Page 68 of 148
## S.P. 2785-462 (T.H. 494)
## Agreement Number 1062054
Page 18 of 22
4. Comply with any additional, reasonable service continuity conditions
described in the applicable Work Orders.
## XVII. Damage to Facilities and Other Property
The Contractor and the Utility Owner must exercise due caution and care to avoid causing
damage to the Facilities or the Project. The Contractor will be responsible for any damages
it causes to the Utility Owner’s property, Facilities, structures, or persons. The Utility Owner
will be responsible for any damages it causes to the Contractor’s property, facilities,
structures, or persons. The damaging party must immediately notify the other party if any
damage occurs and will be responsible for the repair or cost of that damage to the other
party’s reasonable satisfaction.
## XVIII. Partnering
The DB Contract includes a section establishing a “partnering” process. That section is
attached hereto as Exhibit G. Except where the terms of this MUA expressly exempt it,
every disagreement between the Utility Owner and the Contractor, and/or between the Utility
Owner and MnDOT (Dispute) arising under this MUA, is a Dispute subject to the terms of this
section. When a Dispute arises, the Utility Owner and the other party(ies) to the Dispute
must first attempt to informally resolve it.
A. If the Dispute is between the Utility Owner and the Contractor, and the parties are
unable to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution, either party may escalate the
Dispute to the MnDOT project manager. If the MnDOT project manager is unable to
resolve the Dispute to the parties’ mutual satisfaction, the Utility Owner and the
Contractor will attempt to resolve the matter through the partnering process.
B. If the Dispute is between the Utility Owner and MnDOT, the Utility Owner and the
MnDOT project manager must first attempt to informally resolve the Dispute. If the
Utility Owner and the MnDOT project manager are unable to reach a mutually
satisfactory resolution, the parties will attempt to resolve the matter through the
partnering process.
## XIX. Indemnification
A. Indemnification: In its performance under this MUA or any subsequent Work Orders,
the Utility Owner, its agent, and employees must indemnify, save, and hold MnDOT,
its agents, and employees harmless from any claims or causes of action, including
MnDOT’s attorney’s fees to the extent caused by the Utility Owner’s:
1. Intentional, willful, or negligent acts or omissions;
2. Actions that give rise to strict liability; or
Page 69 of 148
## S.P. 2785-462 (T.H. 494)
## Agreement Number 1062054
Page 19 of 22
3. Breach of contract or warranty.
The indemnification obligations of this section do not apply if the claim or cause of
action is the result of MnDOT’s sole negligence. This clause will not be construed to
bar any legal remedies the Utility Owner may have for MnDOT’s failure to fulfill its
obligation under this MUA.
B. Workers Compensation: The Utility Owner certifies that its workers compensation
insurance coverage complies with Minnesota Statutes, section 176.181, subdivision
2. The Utility Owner’s employees and agents are not considered State employees.
MnDOT is not responsible for any Claims asserted by the Utility Owner’s employees,
agents, subcontractors, or any third parties under the Minnesota Workers
Compensation Act.
## XX. Audits and Retention of Records
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 16C.05, subdivision 5, the Contractor’s and the
Utility Owner’s books, papers, records, accounting records, documents, procedures,
practices, and other material relevant to the Utility Work, including detailed records to support
all bills it submits, are subject to audit by MnDOT and by the Legislative Auditor or State
Auditor for six years after the date of Acceptance of the completed Utility Work. Each party,
the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and any other agency that provides funding to
MnDOT (including each agency’s respective auditors) will have access and be entitled to
audit all of these items during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to the party
maintaining the records. MnDOT, the Contractor, and the Utility Owner must insert these
requirements into any contracts they enter into for the utility work. MnDOT, the Contractor,
and the Utility Owner must mutually agree upon any financial adjustments any audit finds
necessary. If MnDOT, the Contractor, and the Utility Owner are unable to agree upon an
adjustment, the parties must follow the process in Article XVIII of this MUA to resolve that
adjustment.
## XXI. Nondiscrimination
A. The Utility Owner will comply with the United States Department of Transportation’s
nondiscrimination regulations. These regulations are in the current version of the
Code of Federal Regulations, title 49, part 21. The Utility Owner must incorporate
these regulations by reference in all contracts.
B. Minnesota Statutes, section 181.59 and any applicable local ordinances pertaining to
civil rights and nondiscrimination are considered part of this MUA.

## Design-Build Contract Section 19
## 19 PARTNERING, CLAIMS FOR ADJUSTMENT AND
## DISPUTES
19.1 Partnering {Use if applicable}
The Contractor, MnDOT, and stakeholders shall enter into a procedure for Partnering as identified
within this Section 19. The use of a third party facilitator is not required.
Within seven Days after NTP1, the Contractor shall arrange a Partnering meeting between the
Contractor, MnDOT, and key stakeholders. This meeting will establish:
Communication procedures
A dispute resolution process, including the development of a dispute resolution ladder
A partnering checklist to be reviewed at project meetings (if applicable). The checklist should
contain items such as quality, communication, issue resolution, team and work relationships, and
schedule
The partnering process will continue as part of the regularly scheduled project meetings or at events
that require additional partnering sessions. These meetings should include primarily Project-level
personnel with frequent visits from both MnDOT and Contractor middle management. The meetings
should review the partnering checklist and identify actions that need to be escalated up the dispute
resolution ladder. All costs associated with partnering shall be incidental.
If the Contractor and MnDOT determine that a third party facilitator would enhance the Partnering
process, the Contractor shall make all arrangements to hire a Partnering facilitator and provide a
suitable meeting location for the workshops. The length of time devoted to the workshop, along with
the content for the workshop, will be determined by a cooperative effort between the Contractor and
MnDOT. MnDOT and the Contractor will mutually select the Partnering facilitator. All costs
associated with the Partnering workshops using a Partnering facilitator will be shared equally
between MnDOT and the Contractor. No additional allowance will be provided to the Contractor for
the cost associated with paying these bills and submitting the bills to MnDOT for later partial
reimbursement.
## 19.1.1. Partnering Participants
This Contract will require a full-time partnering effort involving Executive Management, Project
Management, Project Task Force and others. Participation is required by the agencies involved.
Partnering between MnDOT and Contractor has proven to improve the probability of meeting each
party’s Project goals. The parties shall attempt to resolve disputes through partnering between
appropriate representatives of MnDOT and Contractor (including, where appropriate, any
Subcontractor) at the following levels:
## (a) Project Task Force Teams
1. MnDOT chief inspectors and project engineers/supervisors
2. Contractor’s and subcontractors’ project supervisors and technical area supervisors
3. Utilities and other third parties
4. Permitting and government agencies
## (b) Project Management Team
1. MnDOT’s Project Manager, deputy project managers
2. Project manager, deputy project managers and design manager
3. Utilities and other third parties
4. Permitting and government agencies
## (c) Executive Management Team
1. MnDOT’s Project Manager, Assistant District Engineer, and other MnDOT staff as needed.

## Agreement Number 1062054
Exhibit G, Page 2 of 3
2. Contractor and major subcontractor management
## 3. FHWA Division Administration
Team members at each level will be established at the Initial Partnering Meeting. The levels listed
above are meant to be broad descriptions of the required levels needed for effective issue
resolution. Additional levels or specific task force teams can be added, as appropriate.
To resolve issues in a timely and effective manner, representatives of the parties shall meet
regularly and explore resolution for each issue at the lowest level possible (i.e., Project Task Force
Team first, Project Management Team next, and Executive Management Team last). If both parties
determine, in good faith, that effective resolution is not possible at the current level, then the issue
will be elevated to the next level in the partnering process. If both parties make such a determination
during partnering at the Executive Management Team level, then the dispute will be elevated in
accordance with Section 19.2.
## 19.1.2 Partnering Workshops
## 19.1.2.1. Initial Partnership Meeting
The initial partnering meeting will occur within 30 Calendar Days of NTP1. This meeting will be
facilitated by the Partnering Facilitator. At this session, all representatives from each party at each
level shall attend. The participants will develop the teams at each level, develop the list of goals for
the Project, establish a dispute resolution ladder and process, and develop project goals evaluation
tools.
## 19.1.2.2. Project Goals Evaluation
The Project Goals determined at the initial partnering meeting will be evaluated on a monthly basis.
This evaluation will be sent to participants at all levels in the Partnering Process. The evaluation will
ask each participant to rate how effective the teams are in meeting each of the project goals. The
rating system will be determined by the parties in conjunction with the Partnering Facilitator. Space
will be provided on the evaluation form to allow participants to include additional written comments
and details about the effectiveness of meeting the project goals. The evaluations will be submitted,
compiled and the results distributed by the Partnering Facilitator. The participants will determine
whether the evaluations will be anonymous at the initial partnering meeting.
## 19.1.2.3. Project Task Force Team Meetings
Informal partnering sessions without the facilitator will be required frequently during the duration of
the Project at the Project Task Force level. These sessions will involve members of the Project Task
Force teams and/or members of the Project Management teams. These sessions can be in the form
of weekly Project update meetings or field reviews by team members. The goal of these meetings
should not only provide an update on the Project, but include discussions on Quality,
Communication, Issue Resolution, Team and Work Relationships, and Schedule. Each meeting
should review outstanding issues discussed at previous partnering sessions.
## 19.1.2.4. Executive Management Team Meetings
Formal partnering sessions at the Executive Management level without the facilitator will be held
monthly during the duration of the Project. These sessions will involve members of the Executive
Management teams. The Agenda for these will be agreed upon by both parties prior to each
meeting. The Agenda for each meeting shall include discussion of issues that have been agreed to
be raised from the Project Management Team level. The goal of these meetings should not only
provide an update on the Project, but include discussions on Safety, Quality, Communication, Issue
Resolution, Team and Work Relationships, and Schedule. Each meeting will review outstanding
issues discussed at previous partnering sessions. Each meeting will also include a review and
discussion of the monthly project goals evaluations.

## 19.1.2.5. Quarterly Partnership Meetings
Formal facilitated partnering workshops will be conducted at quarterly intervals throughout the
Project and at the times of critical events (as agreed upon by each party). The workshops will
include all Project Task Force, Project Management and Executive Management Teams. The
partnering workshops will include the Partnering Facilitator to guide the partnering process.
Each partnering session will review the major topics related to the Project. Topics should include:
Quality, Communication, Issue Resolution, Team and Work Relationships, Schedule and any other
topics that the teams feel are important to the success of the Project. Each meeting will also include
a review and discussion of the monthly project goals evaluations. The Partnering Facilitator will
prepare minutes of the meetings and circulate for comments, revisions, and/or approval of all
parties.
Both MnDOT and the Contractor will submit agenda items to the facilitator in advance of each
quarterly partnering workshop. The agenda shall generally include the following:
(a) Opening remarks by MnDOT, FHWA and Contractor Executive Management.

## Report Prepared By:
## Michelle Friedrich, City Clerk
## Department Director:
## Sack Thongvanh, Assistant City Manager
## Item for Consideration:
Consider Adoption of the Hennepin County Elections Emergency/Continuity Plan.
## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Richfield Elections Division works closely with our public safety partners,
Hennepin County Elections, and the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office to prepare for
safe, secure, and accessible elections. Hennepin County has developed an emergency
plan for cities located within Hennepin County to adopt and use as an emergency
response plan. The Hennepin County Elections Continuity Plan will serve as the
elections emergency response/continuity plan in case of unexpected circumstances that
require a change in the standard operating procedures on Election Day. The purpose of
the emergency response/continuity plan is to provide guidance for the general safety of
election staff and security of polling locations, while maintaining the integrity of the
election. The elections emergency response/continuity plan shall be distributed to the
head judge of each polling place, and reviewed and updated prior to each state general
election by the city clerk. The document and its contents shall be considered sensitive
but unclassified. The 2026 Hennepin County Election Continuity Plan is not for public
use or disclosure and should be stored securely with the lead Election Administrator at
the City.
Per Minnesota Statutes Sec. 204B.181, Subd. 2, the Secretary of State’s office requires
counties within Minnesota to have an emergency plan in place for every polling place.
Hennepin County submitted the 2026 Hennepin County Elections Emergency Plan to
the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office. Cities in Hennepin County can adopt the
Elections Continuity Plan or create their own. Hennepin County has created the
materials needed for cities to adapt this plan for their own use. The attached continuity
plan will provide guidance in the event of emergencies, including, but not limited to,
medical emergencies, severe weather/natural disasters, electrical outages, etc. The City
has incorporated additional procedures to address unexpected disruptions that may
occur at city polling places.
## RECOMMENDED ACTION
By Motion: Adopt the Hennepin County Elections Emergency/Continuity Plan.
## HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Page 105 of 148
## EQUITABLE OR STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS OR IMPACTS
The Richfield City Clerk office is committed to ensuring equity and inclusivity in elections
for all election judges and for our community.
## POLICIES (RESOLUTIONS, ORDINANCES, REGULATIONS, STATUTES, ETC.)
Under Minnesota State Statutes § 204B.181, Subd. 2, the county and local election
officials are authorized to develop a county elections emergency plan for use in state,
county, municipal, and school district elections. The statute also authorizes cities,
towns, and school districts to adopt their own local elections emergency plan that meets
the statutory requirements. Hennepin County developed a county elections emergency
plan in direct coordination with the Secretary of State, local municipalities, and
emergency management to secure ballots and ensure public notification. The localized,
county-wide plan mandates strict protocols for polling place relocations, disability
accommodations, and ballot security during unforeseen disruptions.
## CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
The adoption of the elections emergency plan by counties and local municipalities is a
requirement per Minnesota State Statute § 204B.181, Subd. 2, and establishes local
procedures to ensure the continuity of election administration during emergencies while
maintaining compliance with state election law, preserving ballot integrity, protecting
voter access, and coordinating with county election officials and emergency
management partners. The plan does not alter statutory election requirements or the
authority of the county election official but provides operational procedures for
implementing those requirements during emergency conditions.
## FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
## LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The adoption of the elections emergency plan by counties is a requirement per
Minnesota State Statute § 204B.181, Subd. 2. Adoption of the elections emergency plan
by municipalities within Hennepin County establishes local procedures to ensure the
continuity of election administration during emergencies while maintaining compliance
with state election law, preserving ballot integrity, protecting voter access, and
coordinating with county election officials and emergency management partners. The
plan does not alter statutory election requirements or the authority of the county election
official but provides operational procedures for implementing those requirements during
emergency conditions.
## ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S)
Council may recommend that the city may adopt its own local elections emergency plan
that meets county plan requirements.

## Report Prepared By:
## John Evans, Analyst
## Department Director:
## Karl Huemiller, Recreation Director
## Item for Consideration:
Consider approval of a quote from Fluid Interiors in the amount of $429,659.54 for
the purchase and installation of interior and exterior furniture in the new building
at Wood Lake Nature Center, and authorization of the City Manager to negotiate
the terms of the quote and execute the agreement to proceed.
## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recreation Services staff has worked with HGA Architects and Fluid Interiors to plan the
interior and exterior furnishings in the new Wood Lake Nature Center building with a
budgeted amount of $500,000. Fluid Interiors has provided a quote for the project,
which comes in under budget at $429,659.54.
## RECOMMENDED ACTION
By Motion: Approve the quote from Fluid Interiors in the amount of $429,659.54
for the purchase and installation of interior and exterior furniture in the new
building at Wood Lake Nature Center, and authorize the City Manager to negotiate
the terms of the quote and execute the agreement to proceed.
## HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The Wood Lake Nature Center Building Project is on schedule to be completed in
November 2026. At this stage, the plan for the furnishings has been completed and the
quote by Fluid Interiors has been submitted for approval.
## EQUITABLE OR STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS OR IMPACTS
Wood Lake Nature Center will continue to be a facility that serves the entire community
and provides environmental education and outdoor recreation regardless of economic
status.
## POLICIES (RESOLUTIONS, ORDINANCES, REGULATIONS, STATUTES, ETC.)
In order to proceed with the purchase of the furnishings for Wood Lake, City Council
must grant the City Manager the authority to negotiate and approve the terms of the
agreement.
## CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
In order to keep the Wood Lake Nature Center Building Project on schedule, the quote
from Fluid Interiors must be processed in a timely fashion for finalizing.
Page 108 of 148
## FINANCIAL IMPACT
The quote is well within the budgeted amount for the furnishings of the building.
## LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney has reviewed the quote.

## City Council Meeting 7/28/2026
## Agenda Section: Public Hearings
Agenda Item: 9.a.
## Report Prepared By:
## Joe Powers, City Engineer
## Department Director:
## Kristin Asher, Public Works Director
## Item for Consideration:
Public hearing and consider the adoption of a resolution approving the Five-Year
Street Reconstruction Plan (2027-2031) and authorize the issuance of street
reconstruction bonds to finance the 2026-2027 Nicollet Avenue Reconstruction
Project.
## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Joe Powers, City Engineer, will present the Five-Year Reconstruction Plan (the "Plan")
prior to the public hearing.
The City is authorized under Minnesota Statutes to prepare a Plan for street
reconstruction in order to issue general obligation bonds to finance the cost of the
identified projects.
Staff has prepared a Plan for the purposes of utilizing the general obligation bonds
known as "street reconstruction bonds" to finance the work in place of special
assessments or other funding options. The Nicollet Avenue Reconstruction Project is
included in the proposed Plan and resolution authorizing issuance of up to $5,000,000
in street reconstruction bonds.
For planning purposes, the Plan also identifies potential future projects for
reconstruction within the next 5 years. A project's inclusion in the Plan does not require
or guarantee that it will be constructed in the designated year. Additional projects in the
Plan that identify street reconstruction bonds for funding include:
• 69th Street Reconstruction;
## • Penn Avenue Reconstruction;
• 76th Street and Knox Avenue Improvements; and
• 76th Street West Reconstruction.
It is important to note that the bond authorization resolution up for consideration only
authorizes the sale of $5,000,000 in street reconstruction bonds for the Nicollet Avenue
Reconstruction Project. The other projects in the Plan that identify street reconstruction
bonds for funding would be required to go through this same public hearing process
prior to bidding or construction.
## RECOMMENDED ACTION
Page 132 of 148
Conduct and close the public hearing and by motion: Adopt the resolution
approving the Five-Year Street Reconstruction Plan and authorizing the issuance
of street reconstruction bonds to finance the 2026-2027 Nicollet Avenue
Reconstruction Project.
## HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Hennepin County has planned a full reconstruction of County State Aid Highway
(CSAH) 52 (Nicollet Avenue) from 77th Street to CSAH 53 (66th Street) in their Capital
Improvement Plan for 2026 construction. The roadway and City-owned utilities have not
been fully replaced since their original construction in the 1960s, when it was
constructed as a four-lane roadway. The road has been milled and overlaid several
times, most recently in 2014 when the road was also re-striped to a three-lane
configuration. The northbound lane of Nicollet Avenue was impacted by a gas
transmission line project in 2018 and repaved by the private utility owner. Median
refuges were added to 71st, 72nd, and 73rd Streets in 2020.
Development of the project followed the city's public engagement process, beginning in
2023 and concluding with a preliminary layout approval by City Council in late 2024.
Project design was completed in 2025, the project was bid in Spring 2026 and
construction started in June 2026.
## EQUITABLE OR STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS OR IMPACTS
Strategic Considerations: The proposed re-design of Nicollet Avenue will ensure City
infrastructure supports service needs.
Equity Considerations: The project will create a safer, more comfortable corridor for all
users of Nicollet Avenue, whether they are walking, biking, rolling, driving a personal
vehicle, or taking public transit. The proposed design emphasizes the safety of the
roadway's most vulnerable users to reduce or eliminate vehicle crashes with
pedestrians and bicyclists, and reduce the severity of vehicle crashes on the road.
## POLICIES (RESOLUTIONS, ORDINANCES, REGULATIONS, STATUTES, ETC.)
• In order to utilize the Street Reconstruction Bonds, the following must occur:
o Creation of a Plan;
o Public Hearing regarding the Plan and Issuance of Bonds; and
o Adoption of a resolution approving the Plan and giving preliminary
approval for the issuance of Bonds.
• Within 30 days of the public hearing, voters may petition for a referendum, or
vote, on issuing the bonds.
## CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
The public hearing, adoption of the Plan, resolution and reverse referendum period
need to stay on track in order to meet the agreed-upon payment schedule with
Hennepin County.
## FINANCIAL IMPACT
• The adoption of the proposed resolution provides preliminary approval for the
Page 133 of 148
issuance of street reconstruction bonds totaling a maximum of $5,000,000 to
finance the project identified for 2026 construction start (Nicollet Avenue).
• The engineer's estimate for the project's bonding needs is $4,700,000. However,
the resolution authorizes the sale of $5,000,000 in street reconstruction bonds,
which will allow the costs of bond issuance to be covered by the bond sale as
well as cover some additional project cost increases, if any are identified during
final design.
• City staff were successful in obtaining $2,000,000 in state capital investment
dollars for the project, which is being used to offset City utility costs.
• The Nicollet Avenue Reconstruction Project funding sources and uses
breakdown is attached to this staff report.
## LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
• Minnesota Statute requires the City to hold a public hearing on the Plan and
issuance of the bonds.
• The bond issuance is subject to a 30-day reverse referendum period upon
approval.
• The City Attorney will be available to answer questions.

## Five-Year Street Reconstruction Plan
2027 – 2031 Projects
## Nicollet Avenue Reconstruction (2026-2027)
Nicollet Ave Reconstruction from 66th St to 77th St led by Hennepin County. Underground
utilities will be replaced or lined as necessary. The County’s consultant led a robust public
engagement process following Richfield’s public engagement process to guide the roadway
design in 2023 and 2024. Staff were successful in obtaining $2 million in state bond funding to
offset utility costs. This is identified as a 2-year construction project (2026-27). Early project
expenses are paid from existing City resources and will be reimbursed following the sale of G.O.
bonds.
73
rd
## Street Sidewalk (2026-2027)
This project will construct a new sidewalk along E 73rd Street and Diagonal Blvd to MSAS 369
(Cedar Ave S). Sidewalk location along the north side of the corridor was determined by the
City’s public engagement process. New ADA-compliant curb ramps will be added throughout
the corridor. Minor right-of-way acquisitions and temporary construction easements will be
required. Project was awarded Active Transportation funding through the Met Council’s 2024
Regional Solicitation, with construction scheduled for 2026-2027.

th
## Street Sidewalk (2027)
This project will construct a new sidewalk along W 64th St from just east of MSAS 363 (Lyndale
Ave) to CSAH 35 (Portland Ave). The new sidewalk will be separated from the roadway by a
boulevard, and new ADA-compliant curb ramps will be added throughout the corridor. A new
ADA-compliant at-grade railroad crossing will be constructed across the Progressive Rail line
located along Pleasant Ave. Minor right-of-way acquisition and temporary construction
easements will be required. Sidewalk is programmed to be constructed on the south side of the
street to minimize negative impacts to trees and driveways. Project was awarded Active
Transportation funding through the 2024 Regional Solicitation, with a construction year of FY
2026. Staff are currently working with Progressive Rail and Canadian Pacific Kansas City to
resolve concerns with a new railroad crossing, which has delayed construction to 2027.

th
## Street Pavement Maintenance (2027)
The concrete pavement panels and pavement joints on 77th Street are beginning to fail in
certain areas and will need major maintenance soon to avoid full reconstruction. This work will
address the worst areas of pavement failure, primarily east of Portland Ave.
## Traffic Signal Replacements (2027-2029)
The existing City-owned traffic signals along the 76th St/77th St corridor will be reaching the
ends of their expected life-cycles between 2025 and 2035. The signals will need to be replaced
with new signal systems or alternative traffic control measures. The estimated total cost of
signal replacements is $2.67M, with the first signal components being replaced no earlier than
2027 due to the ongoing 494 project.

## Street Reconstruction (2028)
The project includes reconstruction of 69th Street between Penn Avenue and Xerxes Avenue,
including narrowing of the roadway to add sidewalk to one side, reconstruction of retaining wall,
lining or replacement of sanitary sewer, and replacement of storm sewer. The final roadway
section will be determined following the City’s public engagement process.

## Street and I-35W Intersection Improvements (2028)
The Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail currently passes through the on and off ramps to I-35W at
76th Street, creating a safety risk for pedestrians and bicyclists using the trail. This project
would modify the interchange ramp terminal designs to create safer intersections for
pedestrians and bicyclists using the trail. Ultimate design would be done in coordination with
MnDOT and via the City’s public engagement process following a joint study beginning in 2026.
## Penn Avenue Reconstruction (2028-2029)
This project consists of the reconstruction of Penn Avenue from Hwy 62 to 75th Street led by
Hennepin County. The project includes the replacement of City utilities, ADA upgrades, and
pedestrian and bicyclist upgrades. The City and County are currently leading a robust public
engagement process to guide the roadway design. The current estimate is based on the
County’s cost share policy and assumes full utility replacement/rehabilitation.
76
th
## Street and Knox Avenue Improvements (2029)
This project consists of the conversion of the existing signalized intersection at W 76th St
(MSAS 361) and Knox Ave S to a roundabout, including improvements to active transportation
facilities that use the intersection. Ultimate design of the intersection will be determined through
the City’s public engagement process. Permanent right-of-way acquisition and temporary
construction easements will be required. Project was selected for Regional Solicitation in the
2024 cycle, with a FY 2029 construction date. The Regional Solicitation grant covers 80% of the
estimated construction costs and City is responsible for funding the remaining construction
costs and all design and right-of-way costs.

th
## Street Sidewalk (2030)
Construction of a sidewalk along 68th St from Lyndale Ave to Nicollet Ave was included in the
2018 Pedestrian Master Plan; the 2023 Active Transportation Action Plan further identified 68th
St between Lyndale Ave and Cedar Ave as a Priority Neighborhood Route. This project
programs a sidewalk between Lyndale Ave and Portland Ave to fulfill goals in both plans and
better fit current grant funding opportunities. Project includes narrowing the roadway by
reconstructing a curb line, reconstruction of storm sewer, and reconstruction of any utility
conflicts. Project will be advanced if awarded grant funding through Regional Solicitation.
73
rd
## Street Pedestrian Bridge Replacement (2030)
Replacement of 73rd St pedestrian bridge over I-35W. The existing bridge is not ADA
accessible, narrow, and disconnected from the existing pedestrian and bike network. MnDOT
has indicated that funding is available for this project in FY2030.
73
rd
## Street Trail (2030)
Construction of a 10' bituminous trail from 35W to Lyndale Ave along 73rd Street is included in
the Pedestrian Master Plan. Project includes narrowing the roadway by reconstructing a curb
line, reconstruction of storm sewer, and reconstruction of any utility conflicts. Project will be
advanced if awarded grant funding through Regional Solicitation. This project will likely be
constructed concurrently with the 73rd St Pedestrian Bridge.
