Description
6.1
Memorandum
DATE: April 21, 2020
TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Authorize professional services agreement with Barr Engineering
At the April 7 work session the Council received an update on the proposed agreement with Barr Engineering
to develop a storm water model of the central core of Crystal, design the reconstruction of the Gaulke pond
storm water lift station, oversee the sediment removal and minor expansion of Gaulke pond, and design and
oversee construction of the Brownwood pond expansion. These projects are anticipated to take place over
the next three years.
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. It has now been determined that bundling this work
effort is the most efficient approach.
•$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)
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 the
properties.
Attachment
•Barr Engineering Co. proposal
Recommended Action
Motion authorizing the professional services agreement with Barr Engineering Company.

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.
II. Proposed Work Plan
Based on our understanding of the project, our proposed work plan includes the following tasks:
Task Description
1 Collect and review existing conditions data
2 Existing Conditions Survey
3 Perform hydraulic evaluation of the existing storm sewer system
4 Perform hydraulic evaluation of the proposed modifications to Gaulke Pond,
Brownwood Pond, and the Gaulke Pond lift station
5 Sediment Sampling
6 Investigate funding options
7 Prepare evaluation report/feasibility study
8 Permitting
9 Design Services
10 Bidding and Construction Services
11 Operations and maintenance (O & M) plan
12 Project management
Below is a detailed discussion of the items included in the proposed work plan.

Page 2 of 9
Ver. 02-24-20
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

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

FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Director of Public Works
Mick Cyert, Engineering Project Manager
SUBJECT: New Hope Joint Powers Agreement for 32nd Avenue N. Resurfacing
Background
The 2020 Bituminous Street Resurfacing and Street Reconstruction Project includes the resurfacing of
32nd Avenue N. between Winnetka Avenue N. and Nevada Avenue N. A very small amount of this
section of 32nd Avenue N. is within the City of New Hope. Similar to Crystal Street Reconstruction
projects which involved portions of New Hope streets, Crystal will be the project lead and New Hope will
reimburse Crystal for the work that occurs within New Hope Limits, plus an administration fee. This is
also the identical approach used when New Hope reconstructed Winpark Drive which included a small
portion of the street within Crystal’s City Limits.
This is the same Joint Powers Agreement template that has been used when either Crystal or New Hope
have been the lead agency for work involving the other City’s infrastructure. Based on the bid opening,
New hope’s share (including administrative costs) is $28,681.87.
Attachment
•Proposed joint powers agreement
Recommended Action
•Motion to approve the resolution authorizing the joint powers agreement with New Hope for the
resurfacing of 32nd Avenue N.

THIS JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into
effective as of the _____day of ___________, 2020, by and between the City of Crystal,
a municipal corporation under the laws of the State of Minnesota (“Crystal”), and the City
of New Hope, a municipal corporation under the laws of the State of Minnesota (“New
Hope”), collectively referred to as the “Cities” and individually as a “City.”
RECITALS
A. The Cities have been planning on coordinating street maintenance work on 32nd
Avenue North between Winnetka Avenue North and Winpark Avenue North, which
shares a common boundary between the Cities.
B. 32nd Avenue North is due for bituminous resurfacing.
C. The Cities desire to work jointly to complete the contracted Bituminous Street
Resurfacing project on 32nd Avenue North between Winnetka Avenue North and
Winpark Drive North (collectively, the “Work” or “Project”).
D. Minnesota Statutes, section 471.59 authorizes two or more governmental units to
enter into agreements to jointly or cooperatively exercise any power common to the
contracting parties or any similar power.
E. The scope of the W ork has been negotiated between the Cities and has been
incorporated into the plan set entitled “2020 Bituminous Street Resurfacing and Street
Reconstruction – Crystal City Project No. 2020-02” as prepared by Crystal (the
“Scope of Work”).
F. The City of Crystal has developed the plans and specifications for the Work (“Plans
and Specifications”).
G. Crystal has prepared a post bid cost estimate for the Project which estimate shows
the total project cost to New Hope, including indirect costs, as detailed in Exhibit A,

I. Crystal has agreed to pay the cost of the Work within the corporate limits of Crystal
and to administer and supervise the Work in accordance with the Scope of Work and
the Plans and Specifications.
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the mutual undertakings and understandings expressed herein, the
Cities hereby agree as follows:
1. Design and Bidding. The Plans and Specifications, as they may be amended
from time to time, are incorporated in and made part of this Agreement. Crystal has
advertised for bids for the Project, has received and opened bids pursuant to said
advertisement and has entered into, or will enter into, one or more contracts with the
successful bidder (“Contractor”) at the unit prices specified in the bid of such
Contractor, all according to the applicable procedures under Minnesota law. The
contract will include the Plans and Specifications and reflect the Scope of Work.
Crystal shall require the Contractor to name New Hope as an additional insured on
its commercial general liability insurance policy.
2. Project Administration. Crystal shall administer all aspects of the Project and shall
inspect all completed Work. The New Hope City Engineer shall cooperate with the
Crystal City Engineer and the Crystal City Engineer’s staff upon request to aid in the
administration of the Project, but shall have no responsibility for the supervision of
any of the W ork.
3. Additional Work. Crystal may, in its sole discretion, make changes to the Scope of
Work so long as all changes are reasonably necessary to complete the Work and
are conceptually consistent with the original Scope of Work. Crystal may carry out
the changes authorized by this paragraph by entering into change orders or
supplemental agreements with the Contractor for the performance of any and all
additional or new work it deems necessary, advantageous, or desirable. If a
proposed change exceeds the original Scope of Work jointly contemplated by the
Cities, Crystal shall not make the change unless it is first approved by the New Hope
City Engineer.
4. Construction Easements. New Hope shall grant temporary construction
easements to Crystal, at no cost to Crystal, over those lands owned by New Hope
that are a part of the right-of-way required for the completion of the Work.
5. Apportionment of Cost. The total cost of the Work (“Quantity Price”) shall be
apportioned based on the actual construction quantity of items attributable to the
portion of the Work occurring in each City. The Cities understand and agree that the
Crystal City Engineer’s Post Bid Project Cost Estimate is only an estimate and that
the amount paid by each under this Agreement will be based on the final Quantity
Price. The Quantity Price shall be determined using the unit prices set forth in the
contract with the Contractor and the final quantities as measured by the Crystal City
6.3
3
Engineer. The Quantity Price does not include any costs associated with staff time
or expenses incurred by either City. New Hope shall also pay an additional amount
equal to 20% of its share of the Quantity Price to New Hope (“Administrative
Costs”) to pay its share of the legal, engineering, and administrative costs incurred
by Crystal for the Project.
6. Payment. Upon acceptance of the successful bid, Crystal shall provide New Hope
an estimated construction cost based upon the contract prices and estimated
quantities in the Contractor’s bid, the Administrative Costs, and all other costs
required to complete the Work (collectively, the “Estimated Cost”). Within 60 days
after receipt of the Estimated Cost, New Hope shall deposit with the Crystal Director
of Finance 90% of New Hope’s share of the Estimated Cost. All remaining amounts
due from New Hope, including any amounts resulting from change orders or other
changes or additions to the Work shall be paid to Crystal within 60 days of final
completion of the Work. Upon completion of the Work, Crystal shall submit to New
Hope a copy of the Crystal City Engineer’s Quantity Price report, which shall show
each City’s final share of the Quantity Price, including the amount of Administrative
Costs owed by New Hope. Upon payment by Crystal of the final amount due to the
Contractor, any amount payed by New Hope above its agreed upon share of the
Quantity Price shall be returned to New Hope.
7. Record Drawings. Crystal shall provide record drawings to New Hope within 90
days of Crystal’s final payment to the Contractor. All records kept by either City with
respect to this Agreement shall be subject to examination by the representatives of
the other City and the public in accordance with the Minnesota Government Data
Practices Act.
8. Traffic Control. If detouring of traffic is necessary during the Work, the detour
routes shall be mutually agreed upon by the Cities. Crystal will require the
Contractor to furnish, install, and maintain any guide signs, regulatory signs, and
pavement markings that may be needed. Crystal shall not be responsible for any
damage caused by increased traffic on any municipal streets located in New Hope
that arise out of or relate to the Work.
9. Cooperative Activity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, all activities by the
Cities under this Agreement are intended to be and shall be construed as a
“cooperative activity,” and it is the intent of the Cities that they shall be deemed a
“single governmental unit” for the purposes of determining total liability, as set forth
in Minnesota Statutes, section 471.59, subd. 1a. Nothing in this Agreement is
intended to alter, or shall be interpreted as altering, the treatment of the Cities as a
single governmental unit. For purposes of Minnesota Statutes, section 471.59,
subdivision 1a, each City expressly declines responsibility for the acts or omissions
of the other City.
10. Insurance & Indemnity. The Cities shall carry policies of liability insurance in at
least the amounts specified as the extent of their individual liability under Minnesota
6.3
4
Statutes, section 466.04, as amended. Nothing herein shall be deemed to waive
any statutory limits of liability granted to the Cities. Each City agrees to defend,
indemnify and hold harmless (including reasonable attorney’s fees) the other City,
their elected officials, officers, agents and employees from any liability, claims,
demands, damages, personal injury, costs, judgments or expenses arising from any
act or omission of the indemnifying City relating to the Project. Neither City shall be
required to pay to the other City any amount as indemnification under this
Agreement, whether arising pursuant to this Agreement, expressly, by operation of
law or otherwise, in excess of the limits of liability applicable to the indemnifying City
under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 466, or in the event that Minnesota Statutes,
Chapter 466 does not apply, the maximum amount of insurance coverage available
to the indemnifying City. In those instances in which a City is directly liable for
damages as well as for indemnification to the other City, the combined liability of the
indemnifying City shall not exceed the limits of liability under Minnesota Statutes,
Chapter 466 or, in the event that Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 466 does not apply,
the maximum amount of insurance coverage available to the indemnifying City.
11. Employees; Worker’s Compensation. Any and all employees of each City and all
other persons engaged by that City in the performance of the Work or any other work
or services required or contemplated by this Agreement shall not be considered
employees of the other City. Any and all claims that might arise under the Worker’s
Compensation Act or the Unemployment Compensation Act of the State of Minnesota
on behalf of said employees while so engaged, and any and all claims made by any
third parties as a consequence of any act or omission on the part of said employees
while so engaged, shall in no way be the obligation or responsibility of the other City.
12. Audit. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 16C.05, subdivision 5, any books,
records, documents, and accounting procedures and practices of each City relevant
to the Agreement are subject to examination by the other City and either the
Legislative Auditor or the State Auditor as appropriate. The Cities agree to maintain
these records for a period of at least six years from completion of the Project.
13. Term. This Agreement shall commence as of the date indicated above and shall
continue until the Project is completed and all required payments have been made.
The indemnification and audit obligations shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.
14. Entire Agreement. This document, include the recitals, the exhibits, and any
documents incorporated by reference, shall constitute the entire agreement between
the Cities regarding construction of the Project. This Agreement supersedes all prior
negotiations, representations, or agreements between the Cities regarding the
Project, whether written or oral. No modifications to this Agreement shall be in effect
unless they are reduced to writing and are signed by both Cities.

15. No Third Party Rights. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Cities. This
Agreement shall not create or establish any rights in or for the benefit of any third
party.
16. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted under the laws of Minnesota.
17. Compliance. Each City shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws,
rules, regulations, and ordinances, and shall obtain such permits and permissions as
may be required, in carrying out their respective duties under this Agreement.
18. Discrimination. The provisions of Minnesota Statutes, section 181.59 and of any
applicable local ordinance relating to civil rights and discrimination shall be considered
a part of this Agreement as though fully set forth herein.

5747 W. Broadway Storm Water Infiltration System
Summary In 2015, the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission (SCWMC) completed a sub-watershed
assessment for the Crystal shopping center area. In addition to identifying the Becker Park storm water, the
assessment also identified another potential infiltration system under the north portion of the parking lot at 5747
W.Broadway Ave. Over the last few years the City has worked to acquire a tax-forfeited lot, put a storm water
easement on it, and then sell that lot to the existing 5747 W. Broadway property so they could be combined into
one. All the land-rights work was completed in 2019 and design of the storm water improvements started.
Project Budget The Storm Water Capital Improvement Plan included $150,000 for this project. Additionally, the
Becker Park storm water budget came in considerably under budget, so it is proposed that $250,000 from that
project also be put towards the W. Broadway project. The reason for this additional funding is that the W.
Broadway project is just upstream of where the flooding regularly occurs during major rain events and will provide
a direct benefit to reducing this flooding. Maximizing the size of the proposed storm water infiltration system will
provide the most benefit to the W. Broadway flooding. As currently designed, the system will hold around 155,000
gallons of water. The City will also be pursuing a $50,000 grant from the Shingle Creek Watershed Management
Commission for this project.
Project Cost The engineers estimated construction cost is $360,000 (including contingency). The professional
services, construction testing, and other miscellaneous costs are approximately $25,000. This brings the total
project cost to an estimated $385,000, which allows an additional $15,000 for contingencies.
Project Schedule In order to try and get the best pricing, the City is flexible on the construction schedule. We are
including a bid alternate to have the project constructed in 2021. The total duration of project is anticipated to be
two months once construction begins.
Communication The property owner has been provided updates as design work progressed.

Dear Ms. Norris,
It is my pleasure and honor to report the police department’s 2019
accomplishments.
It was another busy year for the police department. Our offi cers responded to
more than 30,000 calls for service in 2019.
Also this year, we welcomed several new police offi cers to our department:
Offi cers Schwalbe, Valenzuela and Glynn. The hiring of new offi cers is an
encouraging sign as we also promote employees who display strong leadership
within our police department.
We also want to recognize that Crystal Offi cer Selin and K9 Leo (right)
graduated from the St. Paul K9 Academy in May, 2019. The team started
working patrol duties together in June, 2019.
Our police department celebrated many events within our community, including
hosting our 1st Annual Junior Police Academy in partnership with the Park and
Recreation Department. It was a great success.
Our offi cers continue to perform their duties, and we look forward to
continually working within our community to provide great service with compassion, integrity and
professionalism.

experience ride-alongs with police offi cers to see
what a career in policing entails.
The explorer program focuses on developing
leadership, teamwork and communication skills,
as well as professional development. Explorers
participate in mock interviews and receive
feedback on their resume.
Crystal Police Department Annual Report – 2019

The Community Service Offi cers (CSO) Unit works
around the clock serving as a support unit for
sworn police staff. It is responsible for the jail and
bookings, city code enforcement, animal control,
parking enforcement, motor vehicle assists and
lockouts and patrol of the city parks. Its role is
vast and changes depending on the needs of the
police department and the community.
The CSO unit handled 7,351 calls for service in
2019. They also issued 1,544 citations for various
city code and parking violations.
Beyond calls for service and enforcement, CSOs
often participate in many community engagement
activities throughout the year, such as Family Fun
Night, Movie in the Park and Night to Unite.
The unit has two full-time and three part-
time offi cers and two police cadets. Typically,
individuals are enrolled in law enforcement
training programs and aspire to become sworn
law enforcement offi cers.
Many offi cers from Crystal and surrounding
agencies were once Crystal CSOs.
The Crystal Police Reserve Unit is a group of
volunteers, some interested in law enforcement
careers. The unit assists in city-wide patrols and
staff local civic and suburban events around the
Twin Cities upon request.
In 2019, the unit volunteered 1,325 hours,
equivalent to about $38,000 worth of wage
savings for the city. The unit saw its membership
lower to seven members, and the need to hire is a
focus.
In the coming year, the unit will transition into a
newer squad car, that will more closely match the
department’s fl eet.
