Memorandum
DATE: April 7, 2020
TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Storm water long term plan – central core
Background
In 2016, the City had planned to implement a project to remove accumulated
sediment from Gaulke Pond. After the design and testing were completed, it was
determined that the project budget at that time was not adequate for even a
reduced scope project. But this effort led to some larger discussions about storm
water management through the central core of Crystal. In addition to this effort
within Crystal, City staff have been working in coordination with the Shingle
Creek Watershed Management Commission on storm water issues further
downstream in Robbinsdale and Minneapolis over the last few years. The project
being discussed and proposed for future Council action is actually a part of this
overall larger effort.
In the larger context of storm water management in the City, over the past few
years we have been primarily focused on the northern portion of Crystal due to
the street reconstruction projects occurring in that area. Furthermore, the
construction of the Becker Park storm water infiltration system and the currently
underway design of the underground storm water system at Kentucky Ave and
W. Broadway are two additional components of those efforts.
Proposed Project
The proposed project will develop a storm water
model of the central core of Crystal that will be used to
identify existing potential chokepoints in the system,
such as those that may have led to street flooding on
Brunswick Avenue (as shown on Figure 1). This
information will then be used to develop future
projects to address the identified problem areas.
Building on the model, the work will then focus on the
replacement of the existing Gaulke Pond storm water
pump. The pump is vital, as it is the only way storm
water leaves the central Crystal core. Currently, the
controls for this pump are in a location where they
could potentially be flooded out.
The project will:
• Design the dredging and possible minor expansion of Gaulke Pond to increase storm water storage
Figure 1 Brunswick north of 42nd.
Sept 20, 2018
Figure 2: Proposed storm water model area
• Design theexpansion of Brownwood Pond to increase the amount of storm water that can be held there
during major rain events (or spring thaw) to reduce flooding risk around Brownwood and Memory Ponds
• Reconstruct the Gaulke Pond lift station to reduce the potential flooding of the lift station, possibly
increase pumping, and reduce the city staff time required to operate/maintain the station during large
rainfall/snowmelt events
• Provide design solutions for two chokepoints where city staff have noted past flooding (including
Brunswick Avenue shown in Figure 1) .
Project Funding
Three different projects are already included in the storm water budget long term plan. As these projects were
put into the plan, it was the intent to make this part of a coordinated effort. What was not known at that time is
exactly what approach would be taken.
• $125,000 City storm water and flood analysis (2020)
• $800,000 Gaulke Pond design, dredging, lift station rehab (2021)
• $750,000 Brownwood pond dredging (possible) and expansion (2022)
Total = $1,675,000 budgeted (including professional services)
Based on conversations with Barr Engineering Co., it was determined that bundling this work effort was the most
efficient approach. Furthermore, the Gaulke and Brownwood Pond projects may be bid as one project, which
could result in better bid pricing.
Project Cost
The proposed professional services agreement (from modeling, through design, and construction) with Barr
Engineering is for $250,700 (15% of the overall budget, which is consistent with other projects such as the street
reconstructions).
Project Communication
Properties around Gaulke Pond were notified of the potential projects, as well as updates, a number of years ago.
Updates will be provided to them once a timeline for construction is known. Outreach for residents around
Brownwood Pond will start earlier to make them aware of the project, get their input, and try to identify every
opportunity to maximize storm water storage around Brownwood Pond to minimize risk to property owners.
Attachment
• Barr Engineering Co. proposal
Recommended Action
No formal action is requested at this time. The work session on April 7 will update the Council on this project,
provide a broader background on how this project fits into larger storm water efforts. At the April 21st Council
Meeting, the Council will be asked to consider approving this contract with Barr Engineering Co..

I. Background/Project Understanding
In 2016 Barr completed construction plans for the Gaulke Pond Dredging Project. Due to CIP funding
limitations the project was delayed. In 2019 the City of Crystal requested that Barr assist with scoping the
addition of a lift station and expansion of Gaulke Pond. Through discussions it became apparent that the
City’s planned expansion of Brownwood pond (upstream of Gaulke Pond) had implications for the design
of Gaulke Pond and that the two projects could be combined. The City also requested Barr’s assistance to
better understand the operation of the city’s infrastructure, as well as flooding concerns at several
locations. Barr has since reviewed the available watershed modeling and confirmed that no one model
exists at the resolution needed to analyze the City’s flooding issues and how they could be addressed.

Last Reviewed: 02-24-20
Task 1: Collect and review existing conditions data
Barr will obtain and review information provided by the cities of New Hope and Crystal related to the
existing stormwater system and watershed conditions. We assume the City will provide the following
information:
GIS or AutoCAD files for municipal stormwater utilities, including catch basin cover/inlet types in
the detailed study areas (“pinch points”) discussed below
Record drawings for the Gaulke Pond lift station, wing walls, inlet pipe, forcemain, and electrical
controls
Typical valve/gate operations on Old Dutch and Brownwood Ponds
Any recent survey information collected by City staff, such as survey of lowest adjacent grade of
structures adjacent to Gaulke or Brownwood Ponds.
Municipal stormwater pipe inspection information and/or documentation report, especially in the
detailed study areas
City maintenance records identifying the pipe sections that are known to be in poor condition and
in need of replacement
Any reports, photographs, or anecdotal observations of previous surcharging or flooding within the
study area, including location, duration, depth of flooding, and time of observations. This should
include the history of flood damages and the successful preventive measures (for example, number
of times sandbagging was needed for protection).
Available soil borings or geotechnical information such as laboratory tests or infiltration tests
within the study area
Site visit to Gaulke, Brownwood, and Old Dutch ponds to inspect and evaluate existing conditions
Review of available information will guide the evaluation of potential system modifications to mitigate
flooding and provide water quality treatment within the study area. Barr will not perform any field
verification or data collection of storm sewer data.
Barr will include a summary of the data reviewed for this study in the evaluation report.
Task 2: Existing Conditions Survey
Barr will perform a topographic and bathymetric survey in Brownwood Pond. Information collected will
include topography, bathymetry, and site features (utilities, structures, roads, etc.). Survey will also collect
tree location, diameter, and species surrounding the ponds so they can be identified on the design
drawings as either protect or remove. We assume some limited survey at Gaulke Pond is needed in and
around the existing lift station to supplement the survey data already collected by Barr in June 2016. This
survey information will be used to develop a background for developing a base map for detailed
construction drawings. Depending on what we find during the data collection step, additional survey may
be needed to obtain information for other critical infrastructure affecting the function of the pond system.
Task 3: Perform hydraulic evaluation of the existing storm sewer system
The existing conditions XP-SWMM stormwater model for the study area was developed by Stantec for a
Flood Insurance Study (FIS) Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) in 2012. (Attached “H & H Modeling Detail”
figure shows the study area). Barr will convert the model to PCSWMM and add detail to the model based
on the items discussed in Task 1. Note that XP Solutions, the makers of XPSWMM, was recently purchased
by Innovyze. Innovyze has not indicated if XP-SWMM will continue to be supported and conversions
between XP-SWMM and PCSWMM are relatively straightforward. Additionally, PCSWMM offers improved
2D analysis that can be used for the detailed study areas and improved flood mapping and visualization.

Ver. 02-24-20
Last Reviewed: 02-24-20
Barr will use the updated PCSWMM model to:
Determine where more refined watershed delineations (i.e., smaller-sized watersheds) are needed
to understand the overall system
Understand existing flood elevations (under pre-Atlas 14 conditions like those submitted in the
2012 LOMR)
Review Atlas 14 rainfall depths and compare to the snowmelt analysis to identify the critical
hydrologic event
Understand flood risk to structures and roads/streets throughout the watershed
Determine if additional refinements are needed to model the pond outlets and/or storage volumes
Barr will review the simulation results to identify “pinch points” (i.e. restrictive pipe segments or inlet
capacity restrictions) that may result in street flooding in the system within the Gaulke Pond watershed, but
especially at the following locations:
Colorado Ave, south of 42nd Ave
Brunswick Avenue, north 42nd Ave
Barr will attend an in-person meeting with City of Crystal and City of New Hope staff at Crystal City Hall to
discuss partnering opportunities.
Barr will perform inundation mapping and identify habitable structures that are at risk of flooding under
the existing conditions. We will also summarize the stormwater volume that is stored on the ground surface
during the 2-, 5-, and 10-year events for the “pinch points” study areas of Colorado Avenue and Brunswick
Avenue, and the volume of stormwater that is stored above the lowest homes during the 100-year event
(i.e., the volume of surface inundation that must be stored or conveyed downstream to prevent impacts to
habitable structures). Barr will identify other storm sewer segments in the watershed that have insufficient
pipe and/or inlet capacity for the 2-, 5-, and 10-year events.
We will estimate structure elevations based on available LiDAR elevation data or FEMA elevation
certifications and will not collect survey data as part of this task. Barr will summarize the hydraulic
evaluation of existing conditions in the report (Task 7).
Task 4: Perform hydraulic evaluation of the proposed modifications to Gaulke Pond, Brownwood
Pond, and the Gaulke Pond lift station
Barr will evaluate scenarios that reduce flood risk to habitable structures for the Gaulke Pond system,
including:
Brownwood Pond and Gaulke Pond expansions. We will determine the maximum practical
expansion of Gaulke and Brownwood Ponds for use in modeling to assess if the expansions
provide the needed water level decreases to reduce the floodplain.
Gaulke Pond pumping rates. We will evaluate outcomes of both a 1400 gpm flowrate, and a higher
flowrate to be determined (pending the results of our review of existing models and infrastructure,
and discussions with the downstream cities of Robbinsdale and Minneapolis)
Drawdown of Gaulke Pond in anticipation of rainfall or snowmelt events (this will require discussion
with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) to understand allowable drawdown
scenarios)
Up to two (2) combination(s) of the above
When calculating the required expansion of Gaulke and Brownwood Ponds and/or increased discharge
from the Gaulke Pond lift station, Barr will assume that increased pipe and inlet capacity is added to the

detailed study areas of Colorado Avenue and Brunswick Avenue (Task 2) to reflect the future condition with
the greatest increase of stormwater rates/volumes to the Gaulke Pond system.
We will work with MDNR staff to develop a draft operations plan for adjusting pond levels (drawdowns) to
accommodate spring or storm runoff.
Barr will prepare concept-level cost estimates for the scenarios identified above. Barr will also evaluate
alternatives for additional pipe capacity, added inlet capacity, street raises, and upstream BMPs to reduce
contributing runoff to the Colorado Avenue and Brunswick Avenue detailed study locations and to evaluate
whether reduced tailwater in the Gaulke-Brownwood Pond chain will reduce the depth and/or duration of
street flooding at the locations. Barr will prepare concept-level cost estimates for alternatives that reduce
the depth and/or duration of street flooding at the Colorado Avenue and Brunswick Avenue detailed study
locations.
Task 5: Sediment Sampling
We will conduct sediment sampling to determine if the planned dredged sediment is contaminated, thus
restricting the use of the dredged material and to select proper disposal of the material, and to estimate
the location of the natural pond bottom.
The sediment sampling will follow the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s (MPCA) “Managing
Stormwater Sediment Best Management Practice Guidance” (May 2017). For ponds with a dredge area less
than 2 acres, a minimum of 2 sediment cores. For dredge areas between 2 and 4 acres, the MPCA guidance
requires collection of one sediment core and sample for each acre of planned dredge area. Therefore, the
following number of samples will be collected and analyzed from each pond:
Brownwood Pond – 2 sediment samples collected from 2 coring locations, based on its
approximate size of 0.5 acres.
Gaulke Pond – None. Sampling in 2016 confirmed that this material would need to go to a landfill.
However, due to the time since the sampling occurred, the Contractor’s selected landfill may
require more updated testing in order to accept the material. If required, Barr would perform the
sampling during construction. If performed, we assume it will require 2 sediment samples collected
from 2 coring locations, based on the approximate size of the planned area to be dredged of 1.5
acres.
Sediment samples will be analyzed for the baseline parameters described in the MPCA guidance document:
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, arsenic, and copper. In addition, Barr recommends analyzing sediment
samples for all 8 RCRA metals (includes arsenic), gasoline range organics, and diesel range organics with
silica gel cleanup.
Task 6: Investigate funding options
Concurrent with Tasks 3 & 4, Barr will investigate possible funding options based on the potential system
modifications identified. Funding sources may include project stakeholders and grant opportunities,
including the Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) grant program.
Barr will include a summary of potential funding partners and options in the report (Task 7). Our cost does
not include assisting the City with applying for any potential grant opportunities.
Task 7: Prepare evaluation report/feasibility study
Barr will summarize the results of the evaluations (Task 2 through Task 6) in a comprehensive report and
submit the report to the City for review. The report will describe the methodology and potential system
improvements, and include figures showing the conceptual layouts, the concept-level cost estimates, and
the recommendations regarding concepts to implement. Following review by City staff, Barr will attend an

in-person meeting with City staff at Barr’s office, incorporate one round of comments into a final report,
and provide a PDF of the final report to the City. Barr will prepare a presentation and attend 1 City Council
work session to present on the project.
Task 8: Permitting
Several regulatory agencies may be involved in the planning and permitting of the project, including
MDNR, US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE), Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission,
Hennepin County, BWSR, and the City of Crystal. It is critical that we approach the agencies early in the
project to identify and evaluate permitting requirements. This scope includes the following permitting
subtasks:
1. Permit identification and evaluation: We propose to contact the referenced agencies within one
month of authorization to proceed to understand potential permitting requirements.
2. Permit applications: We will assist the City with the permit applications for agencies requiring
permits for this project. We assume the City will pay any permitting fees directly. Alternatively, Barr
can pay the permitting fees on behalf of the City and charge the expense to the project. We
assume the following permits/approvals will be required:
a. MDNR work in public waters permit (submitted via MPARS permitting system).
i. Gaulke Pond – Barr submitted and received this permit which expires February 13,
2022. However, due to the anticipated changes to the design we anticipate that
resubmitting the permit will be required. Drawdown scenarios will be included in
the permit.
ii. Brownwood Pond – Barr will prepare and submit this permit application.
b. Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) approval:
i. Gaulke Pond – Barr submitted the wetland delineation report and received a
Notice of Decision (NOD) dated September 23, 2016 for wetland boundary and
type approval. This decision is valid for five years from the date of decision unless
a longer period is advised by the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP). Because the
project is anticipated to extend beyond this date the TEP would need to reconsider
extending the date. The 2016 wetland evaluation area did not include any WCA
regulated wetland. If the current project extends beyond the initial wetland
evaluation area, Barr will complete a revised wetland delineation report. If work is
planned within WCA regulated wetland, Barr will prepare and submit an
application to request approval of work within a WCA wetland.
ii. Brownwood Pond – Barr will perform a wetland delineation and prepare a report.
We will request a wetland boundary and type approval by completing Attachment
A in the joint application form and submitting for approval. For both Gaulke Pond
and Brownwood Pond, Barr will prepare and submit an application to request
approval of work planned within a WCA wetland. The project will be designed to
avoid and minimize wetland impacts where possible with the goal of meeting WCA
no-loss or exemption criteria not requiring wetland replacement. If the project
goals cannot be met without wetland impacts requiring replacement, the
permitting costs associated with this work order may need to be re-evaluated.
After we develop a concept plan, we will hold a pre-application agency meeting to
assist in clarifying anticipated WCA approval needs.
c. US Army Corps of Engineers permit (Section 404 Permit and Section 401 Certification). We
will submit the joint permit applications to both the LGU and the USACE. The project may
be pre-authorized under a Nationwide Permit from the USACE if the project can be
performed through excavation only (i.e., no grading). If the project goals cannot be met

without wetland impacts requiring compensatory mitigation, the permitting costs
associated with this work order may need to be re-evaluated. After we develop a concept
plan, we will hold a pre-application agency meeting (same meeting as 8.2.b.ii.) to assist in
clarifying anticipated permitting needs.
d. Construction Stormwater General Permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA). This permit would only be required if land disturbance outside of the pond
dredging is greater than 1 acre (possibly needed at Brownwood Pond). If needed, the
contractor would obtain this permit after the city awards the project.
e. MDNR Water appropriations permit: This permit may be required depending on
construction methods. The contractor would apply for and obtain this permit.
f. Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission (SCWMC): Barr will assist the City with
preparing and applying for/obtaining approval from the SCWMC. Barr will prepare a
presentation and present at a commission meeting.
3. Address agency comments: We will assist the City in addressing comments from the agencies on the
permit applications. Addressing unanticipated comments may lead to additional costs outside this
scope of work.
4. WCA LGU administration assistance: Should the project include WCA-regulated wetland impacts
(i.e., impacts upslope from the ordinary high water where the DNR does not take jurisdiction), we
will assist the City with WCA administration activities. These activities would include reviewing the
application, preparing WCA Notices, communicating with Technical Evaluation Panel members, and
providing recommendation for WCA decisions. To avoid a conflict of interest, Barr staff who did not
prepare the application would conduct the WCA administration assistance. If wetland replacement
is required, the WCA review associated with this work order may need to be re-evaluated.
Task 9: Design Services
Assuming the city decides to move ahead with the project, Barr will develop design plans for the
Brownwood Pond expansion and the Gaulke Pond dredging and lift station projects. We will work with the
City to identify where existing topography and site/property constraints will allow for expanded flood
storage capacity. The plans will include any tree removals, slope stabilization, and restoration.
Barr will also design upgrades to the Gaulke Pond lift station including a new inlet and overflow structure,
wet well, valve vault, electrical and controls. It is assumed that the 2 existing 10 HP pumps will be replaced
with 2 larger submersible pumps with variable frequency drives (VFDs). The new control panel will be
located in a pre-engineered concrete building located out of the floodplain. Both the intake and forcemain
pipes will be replaced and upsized to accommodate a larger flowrate. To help capture debris, Barr will
design a trash rack on the intake pipe, a baffle structure around the pond intake, and a pond overflow
structure with sump. In addition, we assume that the existing wing wall at the lift station inlet pipe is
deteriorated and requires replacement.
1. Construction Drawings: We will develop the following:
a. 50%, 90% & 100% plans – We will provide to the City for review and comment. We
anticipate using the 50% design plans to prepare and submit permit applications.
b. Anticipated drawings include
i. Cover sheet
ii. Existing conditions and erosion control plans
iii. Removals plan
iv. Site access & traffic control plans
v. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
vi. Civil site grading and dredging plans and details

2. Meetings: Barr will attend an in-person meeting with City of Crystal staff following City review of
50% plans. Barr will also prepare presentation boards and attend a public open house at the
Crystal City Hall.
3. Specifications: We will develop front end documents (starting with City standards and making any
required updates) and technical specifications for the 90% & 100% submittals.
4. Engineer’s opinion of probable cost: We will prepare an engineer’s opinion of probable construction
costs for the 50%, 90% & 100% submittals. We will report the opinion of costs to the City in a unit
price format.
Task 10: Bidding and Construction Services
1. Bidding services: We will respond to questions from bidders, prepare any required addenda, and
attend a pre-bid meeting at Crystal City Hall. We understand that bidding will be the responsibility
of the City. Barr will prepare a presentation and attend 1 City Council work session to present on
the project.
2. Construction services: The scope includes the following construction services:
a. Pre-construction meeting: Barr will attend a pre-construction meeting on-site.
b. Construction Observation: The scope includes budget for up to 150 hours of project
observation during the construction phase of the project. The budget assumes Barr will
perform limited full-time observation during construction of critical features, such as the
lift station upgrades and buried pipe installation, and part time (half-day) visits during
construction of non-critical features. We understand that Barr will perform all of the
construction observation and that City staff will be responsible for handling any resident
issues and general project public communications. Barr will coordinate observation with
the City as necessary so they can be on-site to witness construction of important features.
c. Construction Administration: We will provide the following services:
i. Submittals: We will manage all submittals including tracking, review, resubmittals
and approvals.
ii. Pay Applications: We will manage and review pay applications, including
verification of pay quantities.
iii. Change Orders: We will prepare all change orders.
d. Construction Staking: We will perform construction staking including setting benchmarks,
control points, and staking layout of project features. We assume up to four half-day visits
with equipment and expenses.
3. Record drawings: We will provide record drawings with locations and elevations of all project
features. The record drawings will include complete bathymetric and topographic survey data
collected by Barr. This survey will also be used to determine pay quantities for dredged material
removal and disposal. These drawings will also serve as a reference point for future projects. As an
alternative, the Contractor could perform the post-construction survey.
Task 11: Operations and maintenance (O & M) plan
Barr will develop a concise O & M plan detailing all of the city’s infrastructure from Old Dutch Pond
(located in Simms Park in City of New Hope) to Gaulke Pond. The manual will list relevant elevations, action
