Title
Adopt Resolution #23-238 Approving Updated MnDOT Cooperative Construction Agreement #1052605 for Ramsey Gateway Highway 10 Improvements
Purpose/Background:
Purpose:
The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #23-238 approving updated MnDOT Cooperative Construction Agreement #1052605 for Ramsey Gateway Highway 10 Improvements.
Background:
Anoka County proposes to construct grade-separation improvements on CSAH 56 (Ramsey Blvd) and CSAH 57 (Sunfish Lake Blvd) at the BNSF Railway and U.S. Highway 10 crossings to improve traffic operations and safety. The proposed improvements were designed and will be constructed in partnership with the City of Ramsey and the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT). This project has been designated as the Ramsey Gateway Highway 10 Improvements, City Improvement Project #20-11.
The proposed improvements generally include reconstructing portions of U.S. Highway 10/169, CSAH 56/Ramsey Boulevard, CSAH 57/Sunfish Lake Boulevard, and Riverdale Drive; constructing new frontage roads to remove private accesses onto Highway 10; constructing sidewalks, trails and pedestrian curb ramps; constructing bridges and roundabouts; extending/reconstructing municipal utilities; constructing a temporary traffic control signal system; establishing turf; and installing striping and signing.
Construction of the Ramsey Gateway Highway 10 Improvements project began this Summer with temporary widening improvements, and is proposed to conclude in 2026, with the vast majority of work occurring in 2024 (primarily on Sunfish Lake Boulevard) and 2025 (primarily on Ramsey Boulevard).
The Ramsey Gateway Highway 10 Improvements project was recently bid and Anoka County is currently in the process of awarding a construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder. To memorialize cost sharing splits and maintenance responsibilities, MnDOT prepared attached Cooperative Construction Agreement #1052605. In general, this agreement provides for payment by the City to the State of the City's share of the costs of the construction engineering in connection with the City water main and sanitary sewer construction, as well as to define the City’s maintenance responsibilities for various infrastructure constructed as part of the Ramsey Gateway Highway 10 improvements project.
Upon adoption of Resolution #23-238, a certified copy of the Resolution will be submitted to MnDOT, along with a copy of updated MnDOT CCA #1052001 with City signatures.

Observations/Alternatives:
Observations:
City staff reviewed attached updated MnDOT Cooperative Construction Agreement #1052605 and has no concerns or comments. The only difference between the attached updated version and the version approved by the City Council on September 12th is the addition of new sections 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 and 4.10 outlining requirements and responsibilities by and between Anoka County and MnDOT for a project field office. Also, the City’s signature page is now included as page 17.
The City Attorney reviewed the attached updated MnDOT Cooperative Construction Agreement #1052605 and has approved the agreement as to legal form.
As with the previously approved original agreement, upon approving updated MnDOT Cooperative Construction Agreement #1052605, the City will be responsible for maintaining all infrastructure identified in attached exhibits A, B, C, D, and E after construction is complete and the City has accepted the project. This is similar to the responsibilities assumed by the City following the completion of construction of the Armstrong Boulevard Interchange.
