Title
Adopt Resolution #15-01-023 Approving Traffic Control Signal Maintenance Agreement No. 07023 for the Highway 10 and Armstrong Boulevard Interchange.
Purpose/Background:
Purpose:
The purpose of this case it to consider adopting Resolution #15-01-023 approving Traffic Control Signal Maintenance Agreement No. 07023 for the Highway 10 and Armstrong Boulevard Interchange.
Background:
The proposed Trunk Highway 10 and County State Aid Highway 83 (Armstrong Boulevard) Interchange project includes replacing the existing at-grade intersection and signal system with a grade-separated interchange. This work will include construction of a new traffic control signal system on Anoka County State Aid Highway 83 (Armstrong Boulevard) where it intersects the proposed on and off-ramps north of Trunk Highway 10. The existing traffic control signal system on Anoka County State Aid Highway 83 (Armstrong Boulevard) at Sunwood Drive/147th Avenue NW is also proposed to be revised with the project. A project layout is attached.
Also attached is a copy of Traffic Control Signal Maintenance Agreement No. 07023 which specifies the rights and responsibilities of each of the three public agencies that are partnering to construct the Trunk Highway 10 and County State Aid Highway 83 (Armstrong Boulevard) Interchange project. The three public agencies include the State of Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), Anoka County, and the City of Ramsey.
In summary, the attached agreement obligates the City of Ramsey to pay for providing and supplying power to both signal systems, and for cleaning, maintaining and replacing the signal pole mounted LED luminaires over the life of both signal systems, or until termination of the associated operation and maintenance terms of the agreement.
Staff has reviewed the agreement and finds it is comparable to other signal maintenance agreements we have executed with Anoka County and the State of Minnesota in the past.

Notification:
No notifications are required for this case.
Observations/Alternatives:
Observations:
The new signal system will include an Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) system to allow emergency vehicles equipped with EVP to change the signal during emergency calls. The signal system will also be equipped to allow for the future use of flashing yellow left-turn arrows at the time they are warranted as determined by Anoka County and MnDOT.
Alternatives:
Alternative #1 – Motion adopting Resolution #15-01-023 approving Traffic Control Signal Maintenance Agreement No. 07023 for Highway 10 and Armstrong Boulevard Interchange.
Alternative #2 – Motion denying adoption of Resolution #15-01-023 at this time.

Alternative #2 – Motion denying adoption of Resolution #15-01-023 at this time.
Funding Source:
Funds required for maintaining signal systems throughout the city are budgeted on an annual basis. Since the new signal system at the north ramps of the proposed interchange replaces an existing signal system for the current at-grade intersection, this item will result in minimal impact to the annual budget, if any.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends selecting Alternative #1 due to the benefits the City of Ramsey will receive upon construction of the Highway 10 and Armstrong Boulevard Interchange.
Staff does not support selecting Alternative #2.
Staff does not support selecting Alternative #2.
Action:
Approve or deny adoption of Resolution #15-01-023.
