II. Hackamore Road Improvement Project Update
City Engineer Jim Stremel provided an update on the Hackamore Road improvement project.
The project is at the 90% design stage and Stremel gave an overview of the project's progress to
date. He highlighted that the project has been extended west approximately 400 feet, the City of
Plymouth constructed the traffic signal at County Road 101 and County Road 47, and they are
designing the future water main corridor which is on the Corcoran side. Staff has been working
with the residents in the area to identify the best road access points to the developments. Staff
has also been working with the adjacent landowners to procure the necessary easements for the
project. They have also been working with the utility companies on plans to underground the
overhead utility lines.
Stremel provided an update on the cost of the project. The total project cost is expected to be
approximately $7.4 million dollars. The Medina share is expected to be about $1.4 million
dollars. There have been general increases in the expected costs due to product and labor price
increases. These cost increases will be accounted for when the City solicits bids. Stremel
explained the next steps of the project are to hold an open house, solicit approvals from the
watershed districts and MN Department of Transportation, approve final plans and authorize
bidding, and finalize City agreements with Corcoran. The construction is expected to begin in the
2023 season.
III. Adjourn
Cavanaugh made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 6:54 p.m. on October 18, 2022. Albers
