Memorandum
DATE: May 2, 2017
TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Reauthorize the MnDOT Master Partnership Contract
Summary
The current MnDOT Master Partnership Contract has been in place since December 2015 and
expires June 30, 2017. During that time it has not been used. Since there is no cost to the City
to have it in-place and it allows for faster contracting should a project come up, it is
recommended to reauthorize the contract.
The MnDOT Master Partnership Contract is a general agreement that sets the framework for
MnDOT providing a variety of services to the City. There is no cost to the agreement as it just
sets the framework for a more streamlined project delivery in the future. Any future project
will go through the normal Council review and approval process, it is just that the contracting
with MnDOT will be easier (faster) because of this agreement.
Potential ways this contract could be used in the future:
The City owns the traffic signal on 36 th at Cub Foods but it is operated (signal timing) by
MnDOT. If repairs or re-timing or some other change is desired, this agreement could
be used depending on the scope of work.
If a flashing yellow arrow is desired to be installed on a MnDOT-owned signal, this
contract could be used.
In an emergency, this contract could be used to bring MnDOT resources into the City to
assist with storm clean up, repair of road infrastructure, or other critical infrastructure
needs.

environmental documentation, right-of-way assistance (such as performing appraisals or providing
relocation assistance, but excluding the exercise of the power of eminent domain), geometric layouts,
final construction plans, graphic presentations, public relations, and facilitating open houses. A party will
normally provide such services with its own personnel; however, a party’s professional/technical services
may also include hiring and managing outside consultants to perform work provided that a party itself
provides active project management for the use of such outside consultants.
3.3. Roadway Maintenance. A party may provide roadway maintenance upon the request of the other party.
Roadway maintenance does not include roadway reconstruction. This work may include but is not limited
to snow removal, ditch spraying, roadside mowing, bituminous mill and overlay (only small projects),

services must be performed by an employee with sufficient skills, training, expertise or certification to
perform such work, and work must be supervised by a qualified employee of the party performing the
work.
3.4. Construction Administration. A party may administer roadway construction projects upon the request of
the other party. Roadway construction includes (by way of example and without limitation) the
construction, reconstruction, or rehabilitation of mainline, shoulder, median, pedestrian or bicycle
pathway, lighting and signal systems, pavement mill and overlays, seal coating, guardrail installation, and
channelization. These services may be performed by the Providing Party’s own forces, or the Providing
Party may administer outside contracts for such work. Construction administration may include letting
and awarding construction contracts for such work (including state projects to be completed in
conjunction with local projects). All contract administration services must be performed by an employee
with sufficient skills, training, expertise or certification to perform such work.
3.5. Emergency Services. A party may provide aid upon request of the other party in the event of a man-made
disaster, natural disaster or other act of God. Emergency services includes all those services as the parties

protection and mitigation, sign repair, sandbag activities and general cleanup. Work will be performed by
an employee with sufficient skills, training, expertise or certification to perform such work, and work
must be supervised by a qualified employee of the party performing the work. If it is not feasible to have
an executed work order prior to performance of the work, the parties will promptly confer to determine
whether work may be commenced without a fully-executed work order in place. If work commences
without a fully-executed work order, the parties will follow up with execution of a work order as soon as
feasible.
3.6. When a need is identified, the State and the Local Government will discuss the proposed work and the
resources needed to perform the work. If a party desires to perform such work, the parties will negotiate
the specific and detailed work tasks and cost. The State will then prepare a work order contract.
Generally, a work order contract will be limited to one specific project/engagement, although “on call”
work orders may be prepared for certain types of services, especially for “Technical Services” items as
identified section 2.1.. The work order will also identify specific deliverables required, and timeframes for
completing work. A work order must be fully executed by the parties prior to work being commenced.

Government’s liability is governed by Minn. Stat. chapter 466 and other applicable law. The State’s liability is
governed by Minn. Stat. section 3.736 and other applicable law. This clause will not be construed to bar any legal
remedies a party may have for the other party’s failure to fulfill its obligations under this master contract or any

“Contractor” by the Minnesota Environmental Response and Liability Act. The parties specifically intend that
Minn. Stat. §471.59 subd. 1a will apply to any work undertaken under this MPC and any work order issued
hereunder.
13. State Audits

the intellectual property rights, including copyrights, patents, trade secrets, trademarks, and
service marks in the Works and Documents created and paid for under work order contracts.

studies, photographs, negatives, designs, drawings, specifications, materials, tapes, disks, or other
materials, whether in tangible or electronic forms, prepared by the Providing Party, its employees,
agents, or contractors, in the performance of a work order contract. The Documents will be the
exclusive property of the Requesting Party and all such Documents must be immediately returned
to the Requesting Party by the Providing Party upon completion or cancellation of the work order
contract. To the extent possible, those Works eligible for copyright protection under the United
States Copyright Act will be deemed to be “works made for hire.” The Providing Party
Government assigns all right, title, and interest it may have in the Works and the Documents to
the Requesting Party. The Providing Party must, at the request of the Requesting Party, execute
all papers and perform all other acts necessary to transfer or record the Requesting Party’s
ownership interest in the Works and Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Requesting
Party grants the Providing Party an irrevocable and royalty-free license to use such intellectual
property for its own non-commercial purposes, including dissemination to political subdivisions
of the state of Minnesota and to transportation-related agencies such as the American Association
of State Highway and Transportation Officials.
14.2.2. Obligations with Respect to Intellectual Property.
14.2.2.1. Notification. Whenever any invention, improvement, or discovery (whether or not
patentable) is made or conceived for the first time or actually or constructively reduced
to practice by the Providing Party, including its employees and subcontractors, in the
performance of the work order contract, the Providing Party will immediately give the
Requesting Party’s Authorized Representative written notice thereof, and must
promptly furnish the Authorized Representative with complete information and/or
disclosure thereon.
14.2.2.2. Representation. The Providing Party must perform all acts, and take all steps necessary
to ensure that all intellectual property rights in the Works and Documents are the sole
property of the Requesting Party, and that neither Providing Party nor its employees,
agents or contractors retain any interest in and to the Works and Documents.
15. Affirmative Action
The State intends to carry out its responsibility for requiring affirmative action by its Contractors, pursuant to
Minn. Stat. §363A.36. Pursuant to that Statute, the Local Government is encouraged to prepare and implement an
affirmative action plan for the employment of minority persons, women, and the qualified disabled, and submit
such plan to the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights. In addition, when the Local
Government lets a contract for the performance of work under a work order issued pursuant to this MPC, it must
include the following in the bid or proposal solicitation and any contracts awarded as a result thereof:
15.1. Covered Contracts and Contractors. If the Contract exceeds $100,000 and the Contractor employed more
than 40 full-time employees on a single working day during the previous 12 months in Minnesota or in
the state where it has its principle place of business, then the Contractor must comply with the
requirements of Minn. Stat. § 363A.36 and Minn. R. Parts 5000.3400-5000.3600. A Contractor covered
by Minn. Stat. § 363A.36 because it employed more than 40 full-time employees in another state and
does not have a certificate of compliance, must certify that it is in compliance with federal affirmative
action requirements.
15.2. Minn. Stat. § 363A.36. Minn. Stat. § 363A.36 requires the Contractor to have an affirmative action plan
for the employment of minority persons, women, and qualified disabled individuals approved by the
Minnesota Commissioner of Human Rights (“Commissioner”) as indicated by a certificate of compliance.
The law addresses suspension or revocation of a certificate of compliance and contract consequences in
that event. A contract awarded without a certificate of compliance may be voided.

TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Director of Public Works
Brad Fortin, Parks and Building Superintendent
SUBJECT: Painting contract for 6209 41st Avenue North (Old PW-Utilities and salt shed)
Background
The 2017 PIR includes funding for the painting of the old utilities building and the salt shed
located at 6209 41st Avenue North. BU #4706 has $15,000.00 allocated for this project.
Routine painting of these buildings is important to maintain the aesthetics and functionality of
these facilities. This is especially important as these buildings are in a residential area. Painting
of these buildings requires specialized lifting apparatus utilized by commercial painting
contractors.
Quotes for the painting work were obtained from two reputable painting companies:
Rainbow Painting Inc. $10,200.00
Prism Painting Inc. $15,640.00
Rainbow Painting Inc. was the lowest quote and has done other work in the City recently
(Becker Park building in 2015).
Recommended Action
Motion to authorize the contract with Rainbow Painting for the painting of two City buildings.

Memorandum
DATE: May 2, 2017
TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Director of Public Works
Brad Fortin, Parks and Facilities Superintendent
SUBJECT: Replacement of City Hall A/C Condenser unit on Police Department side
Background
The 2017 PIR includes funds for replacing the air conditioning condensing unit for the Police
Department side of the building at City Hall. BU#4336 has $40,000.00 allocated for the
replacement.
Replacement of the existing 20 year old air conditioning unit helps to ensure reliable cooling for
the city’s Police departments HVAC needs. Emergency repairs to this unit in the past have led
to its replacement scheduled for 2017.
The City solicited quotes from three vendors for the 40 ton air conditioner.
Shadegg Mechanical (Trane unit) $38,775.00
UHL Inc (Daiken unit) $40,800.00
Harris Mechanical (Daiken unit) $65,340.00
The other two existing air conditioning units (including one recently replaced) are Daiken units.
In order to have consistent equipment for operation, parts, and repairs it is recommended that
the contract for replacement be with UHL Inc. The cost difference is an additional $2,025 (5%)
and is $800 (2%) over the budgeted amount. Staff is confident that cost savings in other PIR
projects can close the $800 difference with the budgeted amount.
Additionally, this unit will be connected to the existing City Hall building automation system
(proprietary) that was setup and supported by UHL. UHL also manages the building automation
system at the Community Center. With each HVAC project in the City we are trying to
standardize the equipment and control system to provide improved maintenance and
operation over the long term.
Recommended Action
Motion to approve the resolution authorizing the replacement of the A/C condensing unit to
UHL Inc. for $40,800.

RESOLUTION NO. 2017- _____
APPROVING THE CONTRACT FOR
REPLACEMENT OF AN AIR CONDITIONING UNIT AT CITY HALL
WHEREAS, the existing air conditioning unit at City Hall has had a number of breakdowns in
recent years and required emergency repairs; and
WHEREAS, these repairs added unplanned costs to the City; and
WHEREAS, the existing unit is 20 years old; and
WHEREAS, proper air conditioning is important for building occupancy; and
WHEREAS, the proposed unit is the same brand as the two other existing units; and
WHEREAS, this is consistent with the City’s efforts to standardize equipment to improve overall
building operation and maintenance efforts; and
WHEREAS, funds are allocated in the PIR Fund for this purchase;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Crystal City Council hereby authorizes the
City Manager to sign the contract with UHL Inc. for the replacement of an air conditioning unit at City
Hall on the Police Department side for $40,800.

RE: West Metro Fire-Rescue District Governance Options
At its January and March work sessions, the West Metro Fire-Rescue District Board
discussed the current West Metro governance structure and what works and what could be
improved.
The Board agreed the current model including the 7th neutral party works but several
Board members have concerns that having elected officials and appointed staff (city
managers) as members of the board could create a difficult situation for staff in situations
where they would be voting contrary to the elected officials (effectively voting against their
bosses). While the Board has full confidence in the current city managers under the
current board, some board members wish to eliminate the possibility of any potential
conflict in the future.
The Board also discussed having the District function more like a city department (city
manager responsible for department head, department head responsible for department
operations, etc.) In summary, the West Metro Board discussed the following as potential
benefits to changes in governance:
- Have West Metro run more like a city department (i.e., city managers and fire
chief handle operational issues)
- Board not involved in operations – only policy and budget
- Not have elected officials and appointed staff (city managers) as peers
At its March work session, the Board requested both city councils provide comments on
possible changes to the governance and structure of West Metro Fire-Rescue District.
Option 1:
- Keep Board as is
- Board meets regularly to review financial matters, approve budget, policies
Option 2:
- Reduce Board to 5 – 2 from each city (excluding city managers) and 1 neutral
party
- City managers become co-executive directors (Board chair resolves disputes)
- Fire chief reports directly to executive directors instead of the board, to more
closely mirror city operations (ex. Police Chief reports to City Manager, not City
Council)
- Board continues to meet to review financial matters, approve budget, policies
(functions like a city council does for a city)
The West Metro Board would also like feedback on the importance of and/or need for one
of the two city representatives on the Board being a citizen representative.
