Page 2 of 3
First Street Garage: Built in 2009, 5,190 square feet, and in good condition.
Overall, no major concerns. Maintenance needs: roof replacement possible and
control joints replacement.
City Hall: Built in 2009 and 44,000 square feet. Maintenance needs: roof
replacement in 2029, exterior enclosure replacements in 2029, HVAC
replacements, plans for interior renovations.
Fire Station #1: Built in 1985 and 10,000 square feet. Maintenance needs: roof
replacement necessary, exterior enclosure maintena nce and replacements,
HVAC replacements.
Fire Station #2: Built in 2006 and 10,650 square feet. Maintenance needs: roof
replacement in 2026, exterior enclosure maintenance, HVAC replacements,
monitoring one panel foundation – caused some shifting of panel (minor).
Police Station: Built in 2002 and 14,990 square feet. Maintenance needs: roof
replacement necessary, sitework, exterior enclosure work, HVAC replacements.
Central Maintenance Facility: Built in 2002 and 43,330 square feet. Maintenance
needs: roof replacement, HVAC replacements, exterior enclosure, sitework.
Senior Center: Built in 1968 and 12,670 square feet. Maintenance needs: roof

Schmitz-Maki Arena: Built in 1974 and 35,470 square feet. Maintenance needs:
roof approaching 50 years old, revision of locker rooms 5/6, HVAC in
mechanical room (safety).
Conclusion: The City has made strategic investments to keep properties well
maintained and overall updated. Biggest concerns are arena maintenance for
roofs/exterior enclosure (safety items), and the roof for the senior center.
Buildings are in fair overall condition. $17 million anticipated in deferred
maintenance needs over the next ten years. Strategizing funding for the various
deferred maintenance needs will be key in ensuring the facilities’ health in the
coming years.
Discussion:
• This assessment is very thorough and exactly what we needed to see.
• Council may need a half-day strategic planning meeting. Set up internal
controls and standard practices and figure out what the next ten years may
look like. We need to create a plan for these maintenance items and
expenses.

3.2 2024 Tax Levy and Utility Rate Study Update
At the conclusion of the last Utility Rate Study presentation, Council directed
Staff to increase the Water Fund rates by 3% and to change the funding for a
new water tower from 50% cash and 50% bonding to all cash. These changes
were incorporated into the Utility Rate Study. Director Regis provided Council
with an update on the preliminary budget adjustments.
Discussion:
• Prefer to keep Ehlers’ recommendations versus 3%; fine with 1%.
• Ehlers’ rationale was to keep water down since sewer rates increased more
due to Met Council’s increases.
• As long as we have some level of predictability and keep it consistent over
time, it’s more palatable to our residents and keep up with inflation.
• The Water Fund is continually building.
• The Ehlers presentation was created with Staff collaboration.
• We had all the information to Ehlers in July, same as we have today.
• We should evaluate and update this every year.
Council direction: 1% on Water.
4. COUNCIL COMMITTEE UPDATE
• The Liquor Operations Committee met on how the stores are performing. Sales
are up; would like to promote THC products. Josh Solinger, Store Manager, is
very proud to show his sales numbers and is very passionate about what he
does.
• Dakota Broadband Board was officially dissolved on August 31, 2023. Final
reconciliation of accounts should be complete by the end of the month.
5. CITY ADMINISTRATOR UPDATE
No update.
6. ADJOURNMENT
Motion was made by Councilmember Bernatz and seconded by Councilmember
Wilson to adjourn the meeting at 6:27 p.m.
Motion carried: 4 ayes / 0 nays.

8. PUBLIC HEARINGS
8.1 Consideration of Resolution R58-23 Certifying the 2024 Property Tax Levy
Recommendation by the Farmington Economic Development Authority
Mayor Hoyt opened the public hearing at 7:02 p.m.
Director Kuennen stated that the Economic Development Authority (EDA) has
discussed the importance of having a dedicated funding source to support
economic development initiatives. The EDA reviewed the process required to
establish an EDA levy, directed Staff to prepare a work plan with an associated
budget, and discussed the specific recommended levy request for 2024. The
EDA is recommending that the City Council include a levy of $150,000 for the
EDA as part of the 2024 budget. Per Minnesota Statutes, the City can levy no
more than 0.01813% of the City's taxable market value. The $150,000 levy
request is considerably less than the maximum allowed ($524,687 based on the
2023 taxable market value), but the amount would significantly enhance the
economic development efforts and momentum currently underway.
Mayor Hoyt closed the public hearing at 7:09 p.m. Council asked questions and
received answers.

Planning Manager Wippler presented the ordinance amending section 10-6-29,
Chickens on Urban Residential Lots. The substantive changes in the ordinance
amendment include the following:

family dwelling within a residential zoning district.
• Identifying the exterior finish materials for the coop and run , along with the
proposed construction method.
• Verbiage added under section (A) of the ordinance adding a #4 under the
supporting information/documents required for a permit - verbiage
added: "Any other information the Zoning Administrator deems necessary
to evaluate the application for compliance with the requirements of this
section and this Code."
• Changing the time period for approval of an administrative renewal permit
from yearly to every two (2) years from the date of the initial approval.
• Addition of verbiage that eggs from chickens are for personal use and
consumption by the owners of the chickens and may not be offered for sale
or sold.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding this ordinance
amendment at its August 8th regular meeting. The Commission voted 5 -0 to
recommend approval of the attached ordinance and summary ordinance.

13. CITY COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE
• Drive safe, school is back in session. The Police Department has shared rules for
obeying bus laws.
• Ken Lewis retired after 22 years with the City - happy retirement to him. The
population was about 9,000 to 10,000 when he started. Fun fact: Ken was asked
how close his population estimate was each year as compared to Met Council
numbers. He based his estimates on single family construction and said his
numbers were almost always spot on.
• Huge Kudos to Kellee Omlid for the awesome bus tour last week and lining up a
brand new bus and an awesome driver, thank you.
• Also thank you, Kellee, and others involved in the facilities study report. It was a
good report with a lot of collaboration. Nice job, thank you.
• Governor Walz's Commission on Judicial Selection recommended several
candidates for two empty seats in Dakota County for the bench. Their bios are
available by visiting: Commission on Judicial Selection Recommends First Judicial
Candidates. Governor will make the appointments to the bench.
• Special thank you to the Dakota County Regional Chamber for being our partner.
They helped the City of Farmington host Amy Klobuchar at a recent event held at
Aerospace Fabrication.
• Thank you to John Moore for his bus chauffeur services that he provided for Parks
and Recreation.
• Two new Police Officers and our new Building Official were approved tonight and
will start in the next two weeks.
• September 19th at 1:00 p.m. will be a groundbreaking for The Emery, apartments
being constructed by Ebert Construction.
• Road activities include work at the apartment building with parking spots blocked
off temporarily; short term closure of 3rd Street in the future to connect new utilities
in the roadway; Flagstaff and CR 50 - the County is waiting for Frontier to relocate
their facilities - turn modification keeps getting pushed back; Spruce Street - this is
the FAA, not the city, doing work on their storm sewer all fall; Pilot Knob - County
project has the paving done for the turn lane at 206th Street.
• We extend our condolences to the family of Tom Kaldunski, former Public Works
Director and City Engineer for the City of Farmington. He recently retired as City
Engineer from the City of Inver Grove Heights. He passed away last week.
Page 13 of 211
Regular City Council Meeting Minutes of September 5, 2023 Page 5 of 5
• Friday is the 2nd Annual Fall Food Truck event at Empire, hosted by the
Farmington Parks & Recreation Commission and Empire Parks & Recreation
Commission. There will be 7 food trucks on Friday night at Stelzel ballfields from 5
p.m. to 8 p.m.
• Saturday is the last movie in the park for the season: 5:30 p.m. Kidsdance, followed
by the movie Hocus Pocus at dusk (approx. 7:30 p.m.).
• The City will be going through a financial accounting conversion in 2024. The
scheduled live date has been pushed back to September 1, 2024.
• Stopping for school bus flashing red lights and stop arms is not just a suggestion
or best practice - it is a requirement by law. Cameras on all bus stop arms at
Marshall Lines have shown us how pervasive the issue is, so give school buses
and students extra room.
• Corn looks ready earlier this year than in years past. As we meet every couple of
weeks, Mother Nature keeps changing. In addition to our school buses and
students and safety, keep in mind – when it’s 75 degrees and the sun is setting
earlier, look out for motorcycles, kids on bikes, and farmers harvesting. Things
change quickly after Labor Day.
• The Emery, Ebert Construction building, is slated for preliminary demo day this
week. This project brings many things to this community and is a great project for
our community and our future. It is in alignment with our downtown redevelopment
plan and puts a giant flag in the air to signal to developers that we are a community
ready for something that looks a little different, adds more density, helps drive our
populus, and create opportunities. This company had options and chose
Farmington.
• We don't talk often about mental health but it's very real and it's in front of us.
Coming out of Covid and with different dynamics in our lives has displaced
personal interactions. Please reach out to your network, talk to your family and
neighbors and someone you haven't talked to in a while. Check on them and see
how they're doing. They may not be in a dire situation, but everyone needs a little
pick-me-up and can use more hugs and smiles. Suicide is something we don't want
to have to talk about but it's a reality of the world, so check in on everyone that you
can and make sure they're doing well.

Department: City Attorney
Subject: Amendment to Lease Agreement for Farmington Liquor
Meeting: Regular Council - Sep 18 2023
INTRODUCTION:
Staff recommends the approval of the attached lease amendment to address common area
maintenance reconciliation and insurance issues.
DISCUSSION:
The City leases retail space for the operation of the Farmington municipal liquor store located at 923
8th Street. The lease agreement allows the landlord to look back and reconcile the prior year’s
common area maintenance and insurance costs to each tenan t on a proportional basis this is
common practice in the leasing world. City Staff found the reconciliation invoice for 2022 to be
abnormally high. Staff began conversations with the landlord to verify the reconciliation amounts and
to establish clarity regarding ambiguous insurance obligation language in the original lease.
This amendment is to address these concerns moving forward.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Reconciliation and insurance costs are accounted for in the 2023 budget.

Approve the First Amendment to Lease Agreement

REGULAR COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor, Councilmembers and City Administrator
From: Jared Johnson, Planning Coordinator
Department: Community Development
Subject: Ordinance Amendment to Title 10, Chapter 3, Sections 3, 5, & 7 of the City Code:
Administrative Requirements for Conditional and Interim Use Permits
Meeting: Regular Council - Sep 18 2023
INTRODUCTION:
Staff, with the help and direction of legal, is recommending several ordinance amendments to Title
10, Chapter 3, Sections 3, 5, & 7 of the City Code regarding administrative requirements for
conditional and interim use permits.
DISCUSSION:
There are two main components to the proposed ordinance amendment. The first part of the
amendment transfers authority from the Planning Commission to the City Council to approve interim
use permits. The second part of the amendment adds a 6 -month timeframe before denied conditional
or interim use permit applications can be re-applied for.
The Planning Commission does not have statutory authority to approve or deny interim use permits,
only the City Council can approve them. The existing code currently d elegates the approval of interim
use permits to the Planning Commission without needing City Council approval. In order to align with
State Statue, the proposed ordinance amendment would transfer this duty from the Planning
Commission to the City Council. The Planning Commission would still hold a public hearing and give
a recommendation to the City Council.
The existing code currently does not have language that specifies a timeframe before denied
conditional or interim use permits can be re-applied for. This allows very similar applications to be
submitted within consecutive meetings. Staff is recommending adding a 6 -month timeframe to reduce
redundancy in repeat applications, save time for Staff and decision makers, and allow the applicant
to make significant changes that are needed as a result of the initial denial.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing at their September 12th meeting and voted
unanimously to recommend the City Council approve the attached ordinance amendment.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve and adopt Ordinance No. 023-776 amending Title 10, Chapter 3, Sections 3, 5, & 7 of the
Farmington City Code as it relates to conditional and interim use permit administrative requirements.

new subsection F to read as follows:
10-3-5: CONDITIONAL USES:
(F) Denial of Permit: No application for a conditional use which has been denied wholly or in
part by the planning commission or by the city council after an appeal, shall be resubmitted for a
period of six (6) months from the date of said order of denial, except on grounds of new evidence
or proof of change of conditions found to be valid by the board of adjustment.
SECTION 3. Title 10, Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Farmington City Code is amended by adding
the underlined language and deleting the strikethrough language as follows:
10-3-7: INTERIM USES:
(A) Permission And Conditions: The city council, after receiving a recommendation from the
board of adjustment planning commission, may grant permission and set conditions for an interim
use of property if:

chapter;
3. The date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty;
4. The use will not impose additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the public to
take the property in the future; and
5. The use will be subjected to, by agreement with the owner, any conditions that the city has
deemed appropriate for permission of the use, including a condition that the owner will provide an
appropriate financial surety to cover the cost of removing the interim use and an interim structure
upon the expiration of the interim use permit.
(B) Termination: An interim use permit shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the
following events, whichever occurs first:

REGULAR COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor, Councilmembers and City Administrator
From: Peter Gilbertson, IT Director
Department: IT
Subject: City of Farmington Website Migration to New Provider CivicPlus
Meeting: Regular Council - Sep 18 2023
INTRODUCTION:
The City's IT and Communications department proposes the City of Farmington migrate from
CivicLive to CivicPlus for web hosting provider services.
DISCUSSION:
Over the past few years, the City has made great strides in enhancing its digital footprint, but it is
clear that there is an opportunity to take our efforts to the next level. City Staff would like to migrate
from CivicLive to CivicPlus as our web hosting provider, embarking on a complete website redesign
to adopt a mobile-first approach. This migration will enable us to elevate our City's website, enhance
user experience, and effectively communicate our story to the community.
We received 4 quotes/demos from vendors, and it was decided between City Staff that CivicPlus
provided the best fit for our use case.
Current Challenges with CivicLive:
• Outdated Technology: CivicLive has served us well, but its technology has become outdated.
This hampers our ability to implement modern design trends and advanced functionality. In
addition, they have been plagued with outages and issues pertaining to our site and platform.
• Limited Mobile Optimization: With an increasing number of users accessing websites on
mobile devices, our current site's mobile responsiveness is subpar. This can lead to a negative
user experience and may deter mobile users from exploring our site fully.
• Competitive Disadvantage: Many cities are investing in their digital presence. To stand out
and effectively communicate our city's unique identity and offerings, we need a website that is
not only functional but also visually appealing and user-friendly.
Advantages of Migrating to CivicPlus and Redesigning:
• Modern Web Technology: CivicPlus offers state-of-the-art web hosting technology, ensuring
that our website is secure, reliable, and scalable. This foundation will support future growth
and innovation.
• Mobile-First Design: CivicPlus places a strong emphasis on mobile-first design principles. A
responsive website will provide an optimal experience for users on various devices, which is
crucial, given the growing number of mobile users.
Page 68 of 211
• Enhanced User Experience: A redesigned website will streamline navigation, improve
content organization, and make information more accessible. Users will find it easier to engage
with our City online, leading to increased satisfaction and engagement.
• Differentiation: A modern, visually appealing website will help our city stand out among
others. It will reinforce our identity, showcasing what makes our city unique and inviting for
residents, visitors, and potential investors.
• Storytelling: The new website will provide a platform for effective storytelling. We can share
our city's history, culture, achievements, and future plans through engaging multimedia
content, thereby fostering a sense of community and pride.
• Google Analytics: City Staff will be able to cancel our third-party analytics subscription and
leverage their included Google Analytics platform. Which provides quarterly reviews with
CivicPlus staff.
Examples of local CivicPlus websites:
• Apple Valley, MN - Official Website | Official Website (apple-valley.mn.us)
• Rosemount, MN - Official Website | Official Website (rosemountmn.gov)
• Lakeville, MN | Official Website (lakevillemn.gov)
Contract Highlights:
As stewards of taxpayer dollars, it is important that we spen d them wisely. IT Staff was able to
negotiate the contract to better terms. It is worth noting these are tied to a signature before September
30th, as CivicPlus was open to these changes due to their sales end of quarter.
These items were:
• 3% increase cap per year (was 5%)
• 50/50 Billing Terms (was 100% upfront)
• Additional discount for end of quarter ($6,695.5 in savings)
Implementation:
There will be an overlap with providers, as it will take up to 6-7 months for the migration. Our current
host is paid through August of '24. This gives City Staff time to work with CivicPlus developers to
create and implement the new site.
BUDGET IMPACT:
CivicPlus
Total Cost Year 1: $24,713.50
Funding:
• 2024 IT Budget: $10,000
• ARPA Funds: $14,713.50
Payments:
• 50% invoiced on the signature date
• 50% invoiced in 6 months or completion of implementation.
Recurring cost starting year 2: $8,522
CivicLive

REGULAR COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor, Councilmembers and City Administrator
From: Kellee Omlid, Parks & Recreation Director
Department: Parks & Recreation
Subject: Professional Services Agreement with JLG Architects for Facility Master Planning
for the Rambling River Center
Meeting: Regular Council - Sep 18 2023
INTRODUCTION:
The City of Farmington was awarded a FY2023 Community Project Funding grant for the Ram bling
River Center (RRC) in the amount of $750,000. Grantees are required to submit the Grant Agreement
signed and dated by the Authorized Representative with the project narrative and budget. When the
grant was submitted, it was based on the 2018 Rambling River Center Plaza design and cost
estimates. Inflation and project escalation have occurred, and the overall reliability of the cost
information developed in the plaza design has diminished. In addition, the grant was submitted for
far more funds than received.
Beginning in 2020, one of the RRC advisory board’s work plan goals for the year was to create a
facility master plan for the RRC for future building configuration, improvements, and programming
opportunities. Due to budget constraints related to Covid-19, the facility master plan was deferred
until the 2022 requested budget was submitted. In 2022, $5,000 was included and approved by the
council in the general fund, and $10,000 was approved by RRC advisory board of fundraising dollars
to hire a consultant to develop the master plan. However, the facility master plan was put on hold to
wait to hear if the RRC would be awarded a Community Project Funding grant. This master plan will
be used as the long-term vision and for future building improvements that can’t be accomplished with
Community Project Funding, but with RRC fundraising monies.
Based on the aforementioned reasons, Staff proposes entering into an agreement with JLG
Architects, Minneapolis, MN, to develop a facility master plan for the RRC.
DISCUSSION:
The RRC moved into its current location, the former City Hall and Police St ation, in fall 2009. Many
improvements were completed prior to moving in. The building has worked well as a senior center
and a rental facility. However, there has been much discussion over the last several years about
opening the space to make it more inviting. Thus, Staff developed a Request for Proposals (RFP) to
develop a facility master plan for the RRC. Staff emailed the RFP to four qualified and recommended
firms on May 18, 2022, with a due date of June 8, 2022.
The RFP asked for evaluation of the layout and flow of the building and provide recommendations to
better utilize the space. The four design items specifically called out in the RFP included (1) creating
a patio from the banquet room to the green space on the west side of the building, (2) converting the
Page 74 of 211
receptionist area into a space that is ADA accessible, warm, and inviting, (3) developing a better flow
/ layout to eliminate the choppy feel and creating efficient and effective spaces, and (4) analyzing the
use of four entrances into the building. The RFP invited interested firms to a tour of the RRC prior to
submitting a proposal. 292 Design Group toured the RRC prior to submittal of their proposal. In fall
2022, 292 Design Group merged with JLG Architects. City Staff met with representatives from JLG
Architects in spring 2023. This included the former staff member at 292 Design Group that City Staff
was excited to collaborate with on design of the facility master plan for the RRC.
Following the meeting, JLG Architects submitted a proposal for master planning services. JLG
Architects is proposing stakeholder input to develop a preferred master plan. The facility master plan
would include construction estimates and a potential phasing plan. JLG Architects will present the
master plan and recommendations to city council at the completion of the study. JLG Architects
partners with Kraus-Anderson on projects and will review and incorporate the facility condition
assessment of the Rambling River Center into the final document.
Attached is the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) which includes the proposal to complete the
facility master plan. The City Attorney reviewed the attached PSA and found it to be acceptable.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The cost for JLG Architect’s facility master planning services for the RRC is a total not-to-exceed fee
of $17,000. The cost of these professional services JLG Architects will be providing to the City will be
funded through the Rambling River Center Capital Improvement Fund and the Community Project
Funding grant. The Rambling River Center Advisory Board, at their August 21, 2023, meeting,
unanimously approved to spend $10,000 out of fundraising monies (Rambling River Center Capital
Improvement Fund) to hire JLG Architects to develop a facility master plan f or the RRC. The
remaining $7,000 of the fee will be funded through the Community Project Funding grant.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve the attached Professional Services Agreement with JLG Architects for facility master
planning for the RRC.

Agreement for Architect's own FICA payments, workers compensation payments, unemployment
compensation payments, withholding amounts, and/or self-employment taxes if any such
payments, amounts, or taxes are required to be paid by law or regulation.
11. SUBCONTRACTORS. Architect shall not enter into subcontracts for services

Agreement will be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the City and Architect and not for the

Dear Kellee and Missie:
Thank you for considering JLG Architects for this opportunity. Based on the
information provided, we have developed the following scope of work for
inclusion in an AIA Owner-Architect Agreement.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Farmington is requesting assistance in developing a long-term vision
for the Rambling River Center and identifying what improvements are needed.
SCOPE OF WORK
Project Kick-Off
JLG will meet with Cit y, RRC staff and all other important stakeholders. At t his initial meeting, it is important to discuss the goals of the
study and to set the direction for this undertaking. From this meeting, JLG will prepare a work plan which outlines milestone dates,
identifies decision makers and project stakeholders, and sets expectations and outcomes.
Deliverables: Meeting minutes, project schedule, project goals
Data Collection, Facility Analysis and Base Plan
The JLG team will review all available data on current activities and operations in the building, review the building conditions
assessment done by Kraus Anderson, and existing building plans. We will tour the building to better understand how the facility serves
the citizens of Farmington.
Deliverables: Facility base plan (existing), existing building analysis – systems narratives and analysis
Stakeholder Input
Our team will gather input from City leadership, RRC staff and the other key stakeholders and conduct one stakeholder input meeting.
This will help us better understand and evaluate health, wellness, recreational, and social activities in the building and learn what users
would like to include in the future development of the building.
Deliverables: Meeting minutes, summary/analysis of input
Facility Program Development
After collecting this input, our team will prepare a written facility program. This program document outlines recommended
modifications and their associated, specific space needs. The program also begins to establish facility parameters, becoming the
foundation for further project development.
Deliverables: Detailed facility program document (space needs, adjacencies, operational requirements)
Concept Options
From the facility program, JLG will develop a building layout option with up to three variations that show potential renovations or
reconfiguration of spaces. These will be reviewed with the City and RRC staff to determine which option would best serve the
community now and into the future. From this discussion, a final option – which may be a combination of features from the various
alternatives – will be developed. This now become the framework for the new Rambling River Center.
Deliverables: Meeting minutes, preliminary options, refined option

Subject: Final Acceptance of Public Streets and Utilities and Release of Securities - Vita
Attiva at South Creek First Addition
Meeting: Regular Council - Sep 18 2023
INTRODUCTION:
CC Vita Attiva, LLC has requested final acceptance of streets and utilities and release of the related
securities within the Vita Attiva at South Creek First Addition.
DISCUSSION:
The grading, sanitary sewer, water, storm sewer, and street work in the First Addition is substanti-ally
complete consistent with the city’s construction standards, and the requirements of the Development
Contract have been met. The City has received the a ttached certification letter from the developer’s
engineer that the improvements were built in accordance with the approved plans and specifications.
City Staff has completed multiple site visits during the construction. The staff has confirmed the
majority of the improvements have been completed. However, as indicated to the developer on
October 14, 2022, the pond area (contained within Outlot E) will not be fully accepted until the final
stage of construction has been completed; it may need to be clea ned out due to construction
sediment during construction of future additions.
The Development Contract requires maintenance bonds to be posted during the warranty period.
The warranty period for the streets in one year; the warranty period for the under ground utilities is
two years. The streets have already been in place for one year, so the maintenance bond will not
include streets.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The City currently holds Letter of Credit No. 1185 in the amount of $291,700. The maintenance bond
will be in place before the letter is issued to the bank releasing the Letter of Credit for the First
Addition.

REGULAR COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor, Councilmembers and City Administrator
From: John Powell, Public Works Director
Department: Engineering
Subject: Professional Services Agreement with Barr Engineering for the Industrial Park
Drainage Study
Meeting: Regular Council - Sep 18 2023
INTRODUCTION:
Earlier this year, the City completed a survey of a segment of drainage ditch which passes through
the northwest corner of the Northern Natural Gas (NNG) site. A portion of the city storm sewer system
extends through the Industrial Park then discharges into this ditch. As NNG had experienced slow
drainage in the ditch, and the ditch appeared to be overgrown, it was thought that cleaning this
segment would improve the overall operation of the dra inage. As there have also been back-ups
experienced in the storm sewer system upstream of the ditch, Staff believes that more research is
needed before investing in the cleaning of only the 800 feet that was surveyed.
DISCUSSION:
The expanded study would include the following:
• A topographic survey of the ditch segments located downstream of NNG.
• A topographic survey of the storm sewer system upstream of the ditch within the limits noted
in the proposal.
• Updating and running the storm sewer model for this area based on this additional information.
• Consider scenarios for improving the system operation.
• Documenting all findings and conclusions via a report.
Completing this additional research will allow for a much better understandi ng of the storm sewer
system operation in this area, which was constructed over 30 years ago and subsequently modified.
It will also provide a much higher level of confidence that any recommended improvements in the
area will affect positive operational changes.
On February 21, 2023, the City Council approved the Consultant Pool for 2023 -2027. Barr
Engineering is one of the firms in the consultant pool and has prepared the attached scope and
budget based on discussions with City Staff regarding this proje ct. Barr Engineering completed the
City’s most recent Local Surface Water Management Plan and are very familiar with the drainage
patterns and city system.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The total estimated not to exceed fee for this work is $34,600 to be funded via the Storm Water
Enterprise Fund.

Engineer shall furnish any and all supplies, equipment, and incidentals necessary for Engineer's
performance under this Agreement. City and Engineer agree that Engineer shall not at any time
or in any manner represent that Engineer or any of Engineer's agents or employees are in any
manner agents or employees of the City. Engineer shall be exclusively responsible under this
Agreement for Engineer's own FICA payments, workers compensation payments, unemployment
compensation payments, withholding amounts, and/or self-employment taxes if any such
payments, amounts, or taxes are required to be paid by law or regulation.
11. SUBCONTRACTORS. Engineer shall not enter into subcontracts for services
provided under this Agreement without the express written consent of the City. Engineer shall
comply with Minnesota Statute § 471.425. Engineer must pay subcontractor for all undisputed
Page 100 of 211
224345v1
services provided by subcontractor within ten (10) days of Engineer’s receipt of payment from
City. Engineer must pay interest of 1.5 percent per month or any part of a month to subcontractor
on any undisputed amount not paid on time to subcontractor. The minimum monthly interest
penalty payment for an unpaid balance of $100 or more is $10.
12. ASSIGNMENT AND THIRD PARTIES. Neither party shall assign this
Agreement, nor any interest arising herein, without the written consent of the other party. Nothing
under this Agreement shall be construed to give any rights or benefits in this Agreement to anyone
other than the City and Engineer, and all duties and responsibilities undertaken pursuant to this
Agreement will be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the City and Engineer and not for the
benefit of any other party.

Re: Proposal to evaluate Farmington Industrial Park drainage issues
Dear Mr. Powell:
Barr Engineering Co. (Barr) is pleased to submit our proposal to the City of Farmington (City) to evaluate
the drainage issues in the Farmington Industrial Park. This letter presents the scope of professional
consulting services we will provide for your project including 1) our understanding of the project, 2)
proposed work tasks, 3) estimated costs and schedule, and 4) the proposed project team. The scope of
work is based on your meeting with Brian LeMon of Barr, follow-up communications with you, internal
follow-up discussions with staff familiar with the XPSWMM model and the Vermillion River Watershed
Joint Powers Organization (VRWJPO) requirements, and our experience with and understanding of similar
projects.
Project Understanding
The City is experiencing ongoing drainage and flooding issues in the Farmington Industrial Park area on
the northwest side of town, with frequent flooding in a parking lot and a public street. City staff requested
that Barr develop a scope of work to evaluate the source of the problem—the ditch on the Northern
Natural Gas property (just downstream of the flooding area), the further downstream portion of the ditch
or the development upstream of the problem site—and develop corrective actions. City staff also
requested that Barr perform topographic surveying of the area in support of the work, including surveying
sections at least every 50 feet along the ditch on the Northern Natural Gas property, surveying sections
along the downstream ditch at intervals determined by Barr, and necessary stormwater infrastructure
elevations (storm sewer manhole inverts, flared end section elevations, pipes sizes etc.) to support Barr’s
analysis.
Scope of Work
Based on our understanding of the project, Barr will perform the following tasks.
Task 1. Site visit and initial assessment
Barr staff will meet City staff at the site of flooding to better understand the extent of the issue and
potential solutions. We will confirm that our existing subwatershed, storm sewer, and drainage GIS layers
reflect current conditions and clarify the extent of field survey to be completed.

Task 2. Site survey (ditch segments)
Barr staff will survey the ditch segment extending east-northeast downstream of the right-of-way east of
Eaton Avenue (approximately 1,000 feet in length) at 50-foot intervals. Barr staff will survey the
downstream east-west ditch segment (approximately 1,200 feet) and north-south ditch segment
(approximately 600 feet) at 100-foot intervals needed for appropriate model resolution. Estimated costs
assume a single surveyor cannot cross the ditch safely and a two-person team is needed (each with an
RTK GPS device). We assume city staff will contact property owners to obtain permission for and arrange
site access. The attached figure shows the ditch survey extents.
Task 3. Site survey (stormwater infrastructure)
Barr staff will survey storm sewer infrastructure located upstream of the ditch and adjacent to areas of
known flooding and low points in areas of known flooding. The survey will include 13 structures included
in the existing conditions XPSWMM model, plus 10 to 15 catch basins, flared-end sections, and/or
manholes adjacent to the modeled infrastructure, and pipe segments linking these structures. The extent
of survey is based on additional information estimated to be necessary to increase the resolution of the
existing XPSWMM model. The extent of the survey will be confirmed in task 1. Estimated costs assume
one City staff person will be available to assist one Barr surveyor for up to two days. Assistance may
include opening manhole covers, monitoring surface conditions/hazards, reading instrument values, and
handling of small equipment. We assume city staff will contact property owners to obtain permission for
and arrange site access. The attached figure shows the stormwater system survey extents.
Task 4. Update existing conditions model
The current XPSWWM model, last updated in 2014, was developed as a “pond-scale” model. For this
analysis, a higher resolution “catch basin-scale” model is needed in the vicinity of localized flooding. Barr
staff will update the existing conditions XPSWMM model with refined subwatershed divides, hydrologic
inputs, and infrastructure reflecting current GIS data and field survey data. We will run the existing
conditions model for the 2-, 5-, 10-, and 100-year events and generate tabular summaries of model
outputs. We will develop maps identifying estimated locations/paths of surface discharge at a concept
level; and we will prepare simple area-extent inundation mapping of the localized flooding. We will
document analysis in a working memo (added to in later tasks).
Task 5. Scenario modeling (part 1)
Barr staff will modify and run the updated existing conditions XPSWMM model to reflect proposed ditch
excavation (upstream segment first, then adding the east-west segment and finally adding the north-
south segment). We will evaluate the impact of ditch excavation on upstream water levels and peak flows
in Middle Creek at the boundary with Empire Township (which are subject to VRWJPO standards). We will
document the analysis and results in the working memo begun in task 4. We will share the working memo
with city staff. We will meet virtually with city staff to discuss outcomes of task 5 modeling (including the
memo) and identify scenarios to be modeled in task 6.
Task 6. Scenario modeling (part 2)
Barr staff will model additional scenarios as identified in discussion with City staff during task 5. Scenarios
may include best management practices (BMPs) to alleviate upstream flooding and/or reduce peak flows
in Middle Creek consistent with VRWJPO standards. The number of additional model scenarios may vary

according to complexity and outcomes of discussion with City Staff in task 5. We will document the
analysis and results in the working memo begun in task 4. We will share the updated working memo with
city staff. We will meet virtually with city staff to discuss results, including the memo. We will perform
additional model revisions following this meeting, if needed, based on discussion with city staff.
Task 7. Finalize project documentation!
Barr will complete the working memo begun in task 4 to document project execution, results, and
conclusions. Barr will provide an electronic draft to city staff for review and meet virtually to receive
feedback. Barr staff will revise the memo based on city staff feedback and provide a final version to city
staff in electronic format.

REGULAR COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor, Councilmembers and City Administrator
From: John Powell, Public Works Director
Department: Engineering
Subject: Professional Services Agreement with TKDA for Well 5 Retaining Wall Design
Meeting: Regular Council - Sep 18 2023
INTRODUCTION:
A portion of the retaining wall between the Well 5 driveway and the boulevard of English Avenue is
failing. At the June 5, 2023, meeting, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement
(PSA) with TKDA to review the retaining wall, consider options, and recommend an approach for
retaining wall repairs or replacement.
DISCUSSION:
Well 5 was constructed in 1999, as part of the project a retaining wall, about 4 feet tall and 115 feet
in length, was constructed between the Well 5 driveway and the boulevard of English Avenue. In
2008, a segment of the retaining wall near the Well 5 bui lding was repaired; another 85-foot section
of the wall has failed. As shown in the attached report, TKDA completed a detailed inspection of the
existing wall, considered various options, and recommends replacing the entire wall with a
Prefabricated Modular Block Wall.
Per the report, “One option considered and discounted was rebuilding the existing wall with similar
materials. The disadvantage of this option is that the failure will likely occur again. There is no
evidence of drain tile below the wall and the limestone backfill may be insufficient to handle additional
loading due to any potential water behind the wall.”
The recommended option is complete replacement of the retaining wall with Prefabricated Modular
Block Wall materials. Prefabricated Modular Block Wall materials are made from placing concrete in
a mold and curing in the mold. This is a different process than used for the existing materials, and
the blocks are typically much larger and rectangular.
This issue was discussed by the Water Board at their August 24, 2023, meeting; they directed Staff
to proceed with the design and construction of a replacement Well 5 retaining wall using Prefabricated
Modular Block Wall materials, as recommended in the report.
On February 21, 2023, the City Council approved the Consultant Pool for 2023 -2027. TKDA is one
of the firms in the consultant pool and has prepared the attached scope and budget for design and
bidding services based on discussions with City Staff.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Page 112 of 211
The total estimated not to exceed fee for this engineering work is $16,400. The estimated construction
cost for wall replacement is $164,000; the estimated cost to repair the wall using existing materials
was estimated to cost up to $80,000.
Planning for the repairs/replacement of this wall has been underway for many months; all retaining
wall related costs will be funded via the enterprise fund for Water.

1.0 Pumping Station Retaining Wall
The Pumping Station Retaining Wall is located along the west side of English Avenue which
is east of the Farmington water tower and pumping station. The wall is 117 feet long. The wall
was built with dry cast concrete blocks with a geogrid between layers and clear limestone
rock backfill. The wall varies in exposed height from 0 feet to 4 feet tall. Existing plans of the
wall were not available. Field measurements were taken on stable portions of the wall to
determine the original design batter dimensions. The field measurements on portions of the
wall that showed no signs of deterioration indicate that the front face of the wall was to be
battered at 0.75” horizontally per 8” of block height. A 4” tall top block was used for the length
of the wall and was set 1.5” forward from the front face of the topmost block.

1.1 Wall Evaluation Findings
A visual inspection of the wall was performed on June 30th, 2023. The general wall layout
can be seen in Figure 2. Measurements were taken at the top of the wall to determine how
much the top of wall was set back or battered from the face of the wall at the ground line.
Batter measurements are tabulated below in Table 1. These batter measurements were
compared to calculated batter values according to measurements taken at the South end of
the wall, where no signs of failure were observed. The planned batter measurements will be
compared to the field batter measurements to determine locations of potential failure along
the length of the wall.

(1) A batter of 0.75” per 8” tall block was measured at a portion of the wall that showed no signs of failure. This
batter was assumed to be the planned batter for the entire length of the wall. The planned batter also
includes a 1.5” forward set of the top block, which is 4” tall.
(2) Negative value indicates top of wall is tipping forward relative to base of wall at ground line.
(3) Wall has completely failed from STA 0+91 to 1+09.
Page 121 of 211
Page 4 2023 Wall Evaluation
Pumping Station Retaining Wall
At almost all locations that measurements were taken along the wall, the batter measured is
less than the anticipated batter. This indicates that the wall has tipped forward at these
locations or it was improperly constructed. Between station 0+91 and 1+09, the wall has
already failed, which can be seen in Figure 3.
Figure 3 – Station 0+91 to 1+09 Failure
The location of the failure corresponds to where vehicles likely drive and/or park on the
driveway for the pumping station building above the wall. It is possible that the wall was not
designed to withstand the live loads that are associated with vehicular traffic thus resulting in
the failure and the wall tipping forward at numerous locations.
Poor drainage behind the wall may also contribute to failure and tipping forward. The
presence of water behind the wall will add additional horizontal pressure on the wall. The
clear limestone backfill does help to drain the wall, but if there is no drain tile at the base of
the wall the water has no place to go and it will sit within the voids of the clear limestone.

Pumping Station Retaining Wall
1.2 Cost Estimate and Wall Recommendations
Given the existing wall has already failed over a length of 18 feet, it is not recommended to
repair the wall. The following recommendation would require an investigation into the utilities
present under and around the wall. There is a catch basin about 250 feet north of the wall on
English Avenue that would likely be used as a tie in point for the drainage system of the wall.
The use of this catch basin as a tie in point would need to be investigated as well.
1.2.1 Option 1 - Prefabricated Modular Block Wall (PMBW)
Prefabricated Modular Block Wall (PMBW) have been around for a very long time and can be
built very efficiently when the exposed height of the wall is kept below 8 feet. When PMBW
walls are installed at exposed heights greater than 8 feet they require soil reinforcement to be
installed behind the wall. This increases the excavations required for the wall as the soil
reinforcement typically goes behind the wall a considerable ways.
At this location, the wall could be kept under the 8 feet height to keep an efficient design and
construction. In addition, the front face of the PMBW could be installed about 8 feet farther
forward (towards the street) from the face of the existing wall. This would allow the wall to be
further from the parking/driving area and reduce the additional live load on the wall. This
location would also allow for the new wall to remain under 8 feet tall, which would avoid the
need for any geogrid reinforcement.
PMBW’s have near level fill on the top of the wall, which would not be a problem, given the
existing driveway on top of the wall. The existing curb and a portion of the pavement (up to
approximately 5 feet from the curb) would be removed and replaced due to the existing
settlement and deterioration due to the current failed wall condition. With the wall being set 8
feet forward from the existing wall, a fence could be used at the edge of the existing
parking/driving area to keep vehicular loading further from the wall. This would keep both
vehicular loading away from the wall and provide a safety barrier to reduce falling risks. It
may be necessary to install temporary shoring between the existing wall and the well building
to protect from undermining during installation of the new wall. The shortest distance between
the building and the back face of the existing wall is 5.5 feet, leaving sufficient room for the
temporary shoring. Refer to Exhibit A for a schematic of this option.

(1) Does not include any provisions for aesthetic treatments. Does not include any costs for temporary easement or
relocation of existing utilities.
1.2.2 Option 2 - Increase Slope from Back of Curb
Leaving the wall in its current location, the slope from the back of curb to the front face of the
wall could be increased to shorten or eliminate the wall. When the wall cannot be eliminated
in these areas a PMBW wall would be recommended at these locations of similar design to
Option 1 above. For this report TKDA assumed a maximum slope of 1V:3H in front of the
wall at two cross sections from available survey information. At both locations the wall could
not be eliminated, but it could be shortened to a wall height significantly less than 8 feet.
Refer to Exhibit A for a schematic of this option.

2023 Wall Evaluation
Pumping Station Retaining Wall
1.2.3 Consideration of Options
Other Options
One option considered and discounted was rebuilding the existing wall with similar materials.
The disadvantage of this option is that the failure will likely occur again. There is no evidence
of drain tile below the wall and the limestone backfill may be insufficient to handle additional
loading due to any potential water behind the wall. The location of the curb behind the wall
also indicates the wall sees additional loading due to live load surcharge, which could
contribute to the failure again if it were re-built with similar materials.
Another disadvantage of small block retaining walls is that they cannot go as high without
proper reinforcement. Typical reinforcement methods use geogrid, which anchor the soil
back behind the wall. If the wall were to be pushed out to avoid additional live load surcharge
it is likely that reinforcement would be needed and require additional excavations, including
removal of a large portion of the parking area, to rebuild the wall with small blocks.
Option 1
PMBW walls are contractor designed walls that require special provisions in the form of a
performance specification. These walls require near level fills on top of the wall. As there
currently is an existing parking/driving area on top of the existing wall, a level fill on top of the
wall can be maintained. A fence could be used to ensure that vehicular traffic stays further
away from the wall than it currently does. The sprinkler box near the front face of the wall and
the fiber vault to the north of the wall will need to be investigated in case any utility relocation
is required. The front face of PMBW walls can also have an aesthetic treatment, though the
range of aesthetics can be limiting. The wall can be painted with any desired color of special
surface finish.
Option 2
Keeping the wall in its current location and increasing the fill slope from the back of curb to
the front face of the wall would still be most effective with a PMBW wall of shorter height and
length. Therefore, the benefits of the PMBW wall listed above still apply. Although this option
provides the least cost there are still some drawbacks. There will be a much steeper slope in
front of the wall and if a shorter PMBW wall is still required it will be adjacent to the
parking/driving area.
TKDA recommends that Option 2 be investigated first to determine if the wall can be
eliminated or wall height reduced. If the wall cannot be eliminated, it may be best to
determine if a combination of Option 1 and 2 can be used. If the wall can be pushed forward
and the slope on front of the wall steepened a shorter PMBW wall can be used and there will
be a “buffer” zone between the back face of the wall and driving/parking area. A combination
of Options 1 and 2 may prove to be a more economical solution than Option 1 alone. In any
case, the impacts to the existing utilities will need to be considered in all options.
A geotechnical engineer must be retained in either option for the following needs at a
minimum:
· Analyze foundation soils
o Determine Foundation Types and Requirements
· Determine backfill requirements
· Investigate the vibration impacts on the existing wall and adjacent building during
footing excavations
· Provide general geotechnical recommendations consistent with a wall
investigation/construction

September, 2023, by and between the CITY OF FARMINGTON, a Minnesota municipal
corporation, whose business address is 430 3rd St, Farmington, MN 55024 (hereinafter "City")
and TKDA, Inc. a Minnesota Corporation, whose business address is 444 Cedar Street, Suite 1500,
St. Paul, MN 55101 (hereinafter "Engineer").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The City has adopted a policy regarding the selection and hiring of consultants to provide
a variety of professional services for City projects. That policy requires that persons, firms or
corporations providing such services enter into written agreements with the City. The purpose of
this Agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions for the provision of professional services
by Engineer for engineering services, hereinafter referred to as the "Work", and as outlined on
Exhibit “A” attached hereto.
IN CONSIDERATION OF THEIR MUTUAL COVENANTS, THE PARTIES
AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. SCOPE OF SERVICES. The City retains Engineer to furnish the services set
forth on the attached Exhibit “A”. The Engineer agrees to perform the services. Engineer shall
provide all personnel, supervision, services, materials, tools, equipment and supplies and do all
things necessary and ancillary thereto specified on Exhibit “A”. The Work to be performed under
this Agreement shall be done under the review of a professional engineer licensed in the State of
Minnesota, who shall attest that the Work will be performed in compliance with all applicable
codes and engineering standards. The Work shall be performed in accordance with the Contract
Documents, which includes this Agreement and the attached Exhibits: Exhibit “A” – Scope of
Services, Exhibit “B” – Schedule of Payment and Fee Schedule. In the event any ambiguity or
conflict between the Contract Documents listed above, the order of precedence shall be the
following order: (i) this Agreement; (ii) Exhibit “A”, (iii) Exhibit “B”.
2. REPRESENTATIVES. City has designated John Powell, Public Works
Director/City Engineer (the “City Representative”), and the Engineer has designated Larry
Poppler, Project Manager (the “Engineer Representative”). The City Representative and the
Engineer Representative shall be available as often as is reasonably necessary for reviewing the
Services and Work to be performed.
3. COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES. Engineer shall be paid by the City for the
services described in Exhibit “A” on an hourly basis in accordance with the attached fee schedule,
Exhibit “B”, but not to exceed $16,400 inclusive of taxes and reimbursable costs.
A. Any changes in the scope of the Work which may result in an increase to the
compensation due the Engineer shall require prior written approval by the
Page 131 of 211
224345v1
authorized representative of the City or by the City Council. The City will not pay
additional compensation for services that do not have prior written authorization.
B. Special Consultants may be utilized by the Engineer when required by the complex
or specialized nature of the Project and when authorized in writing by the City.
4. COMPLETION DATE/TERM. The Engineer must complete the Services by
October 31, 2023. This Agreement may be extended upon the written mutual consent of the parties
for such additional period as they deem appropriate, and upon the terms and conditions as herein
stated.
5. OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS. All plans, diagrams, analyses, reports and
information generated in connection with the performance of the Agreement (“Information”) shall
become the property of the City, but Engineer may retain copies of such documents as records of
the services provided. The City may use the Information for its purposes and the Engineer also
may use the Information for its purposes. Use of the Information for the purposes of the project
contemplated by this Agreement does not relieve any liability on the part of the Engineer, but any
use of the Information by the City or the Engineer beyond the scope of the Project is without
liability to the other, and the party using the Information agrees to defend and indemnify the other
from any claims or liability resulting therefrom.
6. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS. In providing services
hereunder, Engineer shall abide by all statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations pertaining to the
provisions of services to be provided. Any violation of statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations
pertaining to the Services to be provided shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and
entitle the City to immediately terminate this Agreement. Engineer’s books, records, documents,
and accounting procedures and practices related to services provided to the City are subject to
examination by the legislative auditor or the state auditor, as appropriate, for a minimum of six
years.
7. STANDARD OF CARE. Engineer shall exercise the same degrees of care, skill,
and diligence in the performance of the Services as is ordinarily possessed and exercised by a
professional engineer under similar circumstances. Engineer shall be liable to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law, without limitation, for any injuries, loss, or damages proximately
caused by Engineer’s breach of this standard of care. Engineer shall put forth reasonable efforts
to complete its duties in a timely manner. Engineer shall not be responsible for delays caused by
factors beyond its control or that could not be reasonably foreseen at the time of execution of this
Agreement. Engineer shall be responsible for costs, delays, or damages arising from unreasonable
delays in the performance of its duties. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is included in
this Agreement. City shall not be responsible for discovering deficiencies in the accuracy of
Engineer’s services.
8. INDEMNIFICATION. The Engineer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless
the City, its officers, agents, and employees, of and from any and all judgments, claims, damages,
demands, actions, causes of action, including costs and attorney's fees paid or incurred resulting
from any breach of this Agreement by Engineer, its agents, contractors and employees, or any
Page 132 of 211
224345v1
negligent or intentional act or omission performed, taken or not performed or taken by Engineer,
its agents, contractors and employees, relative to this Agreement. City will indemnify and hold
Engineer harmless from and against any loss for injuries or damages arising out of the negligent
acts of the City, its officers, agents, or employees.
9. INSURANCE.
a. General Liability. Prior to starting the Work, Engineer shall procure,
maintain, and pay for such insurance as will protect against claims or loss
which may arise out of operations by Engineer or by any subcontractor or
by anyone employed by any of them or by anyone for whose acts any of
them may be liable. Such insurance shall include, but not be limited to,
minimum coverages and limits of liability specified in this Paragraph, or
required by law.

owned, hired and non-owed vehicles.)
Commercial General Liability requirements may be met through a combination of

The City shall be named as an additional insured on the general liability and
umbrella policies.
c. Professional Liability Insurance. In addition to the coverages listed above,
Engineer shall maintain a professional liability insurance policy in the amount of
$2,000,000. Said policy need not name the City as an additional insured.
Page 133 of 211
224345v1
d. Engineer shall maintain “stop gap” coverage if Engineer obtains Workers’
Compensation coverage from any state fund if Employer’s liability coverage is not
available.
e. All policies, except the Worker’s Compensation Policy, Automobile Policy, and
Professional Liability Policy, shall name the “City of Farmington” as an additional
insured.
f. All polices shall contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of the City.
g. All policies, except for the Worker’s Compensation Policy and the Professional
Liability Policy, shall be primary and non-contributory.
h. All policies, including the Engineer’s Commercial General Liability and excepting
Worker’s Compensation Policy and Professional Liability Policy, shall insure the
defense and indemnity obligations assumed by Engineer under this Agreement for
claims arising under that Policy.
i. Engineer agrees to maintain all coverage required herein throughout the term of the
Agreement and for a minimum of two (2) years following City’s written acceptance
of the Work.
j. It shall be Engineer’s responsibility to pay any retention or deductible for the
coverages required herein.
k. The Engineer’s policies and Certificate of Insurance shall contain a provision that
coverage afforded under the policies shall not be cancelled without at least thirty
(30) days advanced written notice to the City.
l. Engineer shall maintain in effect all insurance coverages required under this
Paragraph at Engineer’s sole expense and with insurance companies licensed to do
business in the state in Minnesota and having a current A.M. Best rating of no less
than A-, unless specifically accepted by City in writing and all insurance policies
shall be on ISO forms acceptable to the City.
m. A copy of the Engineer’s Certificate of Insurance which evidences the
compliance with this Paragraph, must be filed with City prior to the start of
Engineer’s Work. Upon request a copy of the Engineer’s insurance declaration
page, rider and/or endorsement, as applicable shall be provided. Such documents
evidencing insurance shall be in a form acceptable to City and shall provide
satisfactory evidence that Engineer has complied with all insurance requirements.
Renewal certificates shall be provided to City prior to the expiration date of any of
the required policies. City will not be obligated, however, to review such Certificate
of Insurance, declaration page, rider, endorsement, certificates, or other evidence
of insurance, or to advise Engineer of any deficiencies in such documents and
receipt thereof shall not relieve Engineer from, nor be deemed a waiver of, City’s
Page 134 of 211
224345v1
right to enforce the terms of Engineer’s obligations hereunder. City reserves the
right to examine any policy provided for under this Agreement.
n. Effect of Engineer’s Failure to Provide Insurance. If Engineer fails to provide the
specified insurance, then Engineer will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the
City, the City's officials, agents, and employees from any loss, claim, liability, and
expense (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses of litigation) to the
extent necessary to afford the same protection as would have been provided by the
specified insurance. Except to the extent prohibited by law, this indemnity applies
regardless of any strict liability or negligence attributable to the City (including sole
negligence) and regardless of the extent to which the underlying occurrence (i.e.,
the event giving rise to a claim which would have been covered by the specified
insurance) is attributable to the negligent or otherwise wrongful act or omission
(including breach of contract) of Engineer, its subcontractors, agents, employees or
delegates. Engineer agrees that this indemnity shall be construed and applied in
favor of indemnification. Engineer also agrees that if applicable law limits or
precludes any aspect of this indemnity, then the indemnity will be considered
limited only to the extent necessary to comply with that applicable law. The stated
indemnity continues until all applicable statutes of limitation have run.
If a claim arises within the scope of the stated indemnity in section o, the City may require
Engineer to:
i. Furnish and pay for a surety bond, satisfactory to the City, guaranteeing
performance of the indemnity obligation; or
ii. Furnish a written acceptance of tender of defense and indemnity from Engineer's
insurance company.
Engineer will take the action required by the City within fifteen (15) days of receiving
notice from the City.
10. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The City hereby retains the Engineer as an
independent contractor upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Engineer
is not an employee of the City and is free to contract with other entities as provided herein.
Engineer shall be responsible for selecting the means and methods of performing the work.
Engineer shall furnish any and all supplies, equipment, and incidentals necessary for Engineer's
performance under this Agreement. City and Engineer agree that Engineer shall not at any time
or in any manner represent that Engineer or any of Engineer's agents or employees are in any
manner agents or employees of the City. Engineer shall be exclusively responsible under this
Agreement for Engineer's own FICA payments, workers compensation payments, unemployment
compensation payments, withholding amounts, and/or self-employment taxes if any such
payments, amounts, or taxes are required to be paid by law or regulation.
11. SUBCONTRACTORS. Engineer shall not enter into subcontracts for services
provided under this Agreement without the express written consent of the City. Engineer shall
comply with Minnesota Statute § 471.425. Engineer must pay subcontractor for all undisputed
services provided by subcontractor within ten (10) days of Engineer’s receipt of payment from
Page 135 of 211
224345v1
City. Engineer must pay interest of 1.5 percent per month or any part of a month to subcontractor
on any undisputed amount not paid on time to subcontractor. The minimum monthly interest
penalty payment for an unpaid balance of $100 or more is $10.
12. ASSIGNMENT AND THIRD PARTIES. Neither party shall assign this
Agreement, nor any interest arising herein, without the written consent of the other party. Nothing
under this Agreement shall be construed to give any rights or benefits in this Agreement to anyone
other than the City and Engineer, and all duties and responsibilities undertaken pursuant to this
Agreement will be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the City and Engineer and not for the
benefit of any other party.
13. WAIVER. Any waiver by either party of a breach of any provisions of this
Agreement shall not affect, in any respect, the validity of the remainder of this Agreement.
14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The entire agreement of the parties is contained herein.

subject matter hereof as well as any previous agreements presently in effect between the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof. Any alterations, amendments, deletions, or waivers of the
provisions of this Agreement shall be valid only when expressed in writing and duly signed by the
parties, unless otherwise provided herein.
15. CONTROLLING LAW AND VENUE. This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota. All proceedings related to
this contract shall be venued in the Dakota County District Court.
16. COPYRIGHT. Engineer shall defend actions or claims charging infringement of
any copyright or patent by reason of the use or adoption of any designs, drawings, or specifications
supplied by it, and it shall hold harmless the City from loss or damage resulting therefrom.
17. RECORDS. The Engineer shall maintain complete and accurate records of time
and expense involved in the performance of services.
18. MINNESOTA GOVERNMENT DATA PRACTICES ACT. Engineer must
comply with the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13, as it
applies to (1) all data provided by the City pursuant to this Agreement, and (2) all data, created,
collected, received, stored, used, maintained, or disseminated by the Engineer pursuant to this
Agreement. Engineer is subject to all the provisions of the Minnesota Government Data Practices
Act, including but not limited to the civil remedies of Minnesota Statutes Section 13.08, as if it
were a government entity. In the event Engineer receives a request to release data, Engineer must
immediately notify City. City will give Engineer instructions concerning the release of the data to
the requesting party before the data is released. Engineer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold
City, its officials, officers, agents, employees, and volunteers harmless from any claims resulting
from Engineer’s officers’, agents’, partners’, employees’, volunteers’, assignees’, or
subcontractors’ unlawful disclosure and/or use of protected data. The terms of this paragraph shall
survive the cancellation or termination of this Agreement.
Page 136 of 211
224345v1
19. TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated by City on thirty (30) days’
written notice delivered to Engineer at the address on file with the City. Upon termination under
this provision if there is no fault of the Engineer, the Engineer shall be paid for services rendered
and reimbursable expenses until the effective date of termination. If the City terminates the
Agreement because the Engineer has failed to perform in accordance with this Agreement, no
further payment shall be made to the Engineer, and the City may retain another engineer to
undertake or complete the work identified in Paragraph 1.

Engineer shall not discriminate against any employee or applicants for employment because of
race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status with regard to public
assistance, disability, sexual orientation or age. The Engineer shall post in places available to
employees and applicants for employment, notices setting forth the provision of this non-
discrimination clause and stating that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for
employment. The Engineer shall incorporate the foregoing requirements of this paragraph in all
of its subcontracts for program work, and will require all of its subcontractors for such work to
incorporate such requirements in all subcontracts for program work. The Engineer further agrees
to comply with all aspects of the Minnesota Human Rights Act, Minnesota Statutes 363.01, et.
seq., Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

any reason.

Engineer not specifically provided for herein shall not be honored by the City.

Council of the City shall have a financial interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement. The

to the appropriate party at its address on the signature page and given personally, by facsimile, by
registered or certified mail postage prepaid, or by a commercial courier service. All notices shall
be effective upon the date of receipt.
26. WAIVER. A party’s non-enforcement of any provision shall not constitute a
waiver of that provision, nor shall it affect the enforceability of that provision or of the remainder
of this Agreement.

each of which shall be considered an original.

REGULAR COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor, Councilmembers and City Administrator
From: Chris Regis, Finance Director
Department: Finance
Subject: Preliminary 2024 General Fund Budget and Tax Levy
Meeting: Regular Council - Sep 18 2023
INTRODUCTION:
State Statute requires that the proposed property tax levy for the upcoming year be certified to Dakota
County on or before October 2, 2023. The City Council is being asked to adopt the 2024 proposed
property tax levy, which will be included in the proposed property tax statements that are mailed to
taxpayers in November.
DISCUSSION:
The City Council discussed the 2024 General Fund budget and tax levy at work sessions in August
and September. The proposed budget and tax levy are shown below.
2023 Budget 2024 Proposed

Add: EDA Levy - 150,000 100%
Net Tax Levy $12,749,859 $14,308,798 12.23%
General Fund Revenues
Revenues for the General Fund continue to move in a positive direction reflecting a 23.54% increase
from 2023.
The General Fund has revenues outside of the tax levy. These revenues come from a variety of
sources shown below.

Transfers In 1,497,734 2,284,510 52.53%
Total Revenues $3,796,853 4,690,700 23.54%
Revenue items of note in the draft 2024 budget:
• Licenses and Permit revenue reflects a decrease of $136,420 primarily due to a slow down of
single family home construction in the city as a result of increased interest rates over the last
15 months.
• Intergovernmental revenues will reflect an increase of $145,790 due to increases in MSA
Maintenance, Fire and Police State Aid, and increases in federal, state, and county grants.
• Charges for Service revenue reflects a $124,011 increase due to increased Fire charges and
engineering fees.
• Transfers are budgeted to increase due to increased transfers from the utility funds to cover
administration and human resources costs, a $250,000 transfer from the Employee Expense
Fund to fund pay plan adjustments to market, and a $300,000 operating transfer.
General Fund Expenditures
The proposed 2024 expenditures are summarized below.
2023 Budget 2024 Proposed
Budget
Increase
(Decrease)
Administration $1,159,523 $1,406,345 21.29%

Parks & Recreation 1,610,495 1,785,914 10.89%
Transfers Out 1,642,022 2,169,000 32.09%
Total Expenditures $16,884,783 $19,184,407 13.62%
Human Resource Costs
All of the budgets include estimated human resource costs based on approved union contracts and
estimates for employee benefits and worker's compensation premiums. All union contracts have been
settled through 2024. In addition, the City has been notified that we will receive a 9% increase in our
health insurance premiums for 2024.
Expenditure items of note in the preliminary 2024 budget include:
Page 177 of 211
• First year of the Economic Development Authority Levy. The levy amount is $150,000.
• Two new public works maintenance workers and a half-time grant writer position.
• Increases in IT charges and Fleet charges to the General Fund.
• New finance/accounting/payroll/utility software.
• Increase EAB funding to $600,000.
• Increase in the pay plans to the 75th Percentile of Market.
Fiscal Disparities
This is a metro wide program that is used to balance the development of commercial and industrial
growth throughout the region. For 2024, the Fiscal Disparities distribution to the city decreased by
$309,627 to $2,098,009. This will have the effect of increasing the net tax levy for 2024.
Debt Levy
The Debt Service Funds budget provides funding for scheduled debt principal and interest repayment
obligations, as well as ongoing trustee, assessments, arbitrage, and post -issuance compliance fees
related to the city's debt. The levy includes both General Obligation bonds and Interfund loans. The
2024 debt levy is 14.81% percent lower than the 2023 debt levy. The decrease in debt is due to the
reduction in the debt service levy for the Series 2019A bonds.
Additional Notes
The City continues to make progress to reach adequate funding levels in several areas including
street fleet management EAB maintenance, and maintenance, trail maintenance, building
replacement.
The taxable market value of the average residential property in Farmington will be $354,352 in 2024.
This is a 4.43% increase from the 2023 average residential property. The current proposed 2024 tax
levy amount would increase the city tax on the average property by $173 per year. Keep in mind the
values are one year behind and these are payable 2024 values.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The budget impact is summarized with the content of this memo.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Hear the presentation that will be made by City Staff and ask any questions you may have. Once the
City Council is comfortable, a motion should be made to:
• Adopt Resolution R62-23 Adopting the Preliminary Budget and Setting the 2024 Preliminary
Tax Levy and Debt Service Levy, establishing the 2024 preliminary tax levy as proposed.
• Set the public input meeting prior to the adoption of the final 2024 budget and tax levy for
Monday, December 4, 2023, at 7:00 p.m.

Associates, Inc., a Minnesota Corporation, whose business address is 767 Eustis Street, Suite 100,
St. Paul, MN 55114 (hereinafter "Engineer").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The City has adopted a policy regarding the selection and hiring of consultants to provide
a variety of professional services for City projects. That policy requires that persons, firms or
corporations providing such services enter into written agreements with the City. The purpose of
this Agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions for the provision of professional services
by Engineer for engineering services, hereinafter referred to as the "Work", and as outlined on
Exhibit “A” attached hereto.
IN CONSIDERATION OF THEIR MUTUAL COVENANTS, THE PARTIES
AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. SCOPE OF SERVICES. The City retains Engineer to furnish the services set
forth on the attached Exhibit “A”. The Engineer agrees to perform the services. Engineer shall
provide all personnel, supervision, services, materials, tools, equipment and supplies and do all
things necessary and ancillary thereto specified on Exhibit “A”. The Work to be performed under
this Agreement shall be done under the review of a professional engineer licensed in the State of
Minnesota, who shall attest that the Work will be performed in compliance with all applicable
codes and engineering standards. The Work shall be performed in accordance with the Contract
Documents, which includes this Agreement and the attached Exhibits: Exhibit “A” – Scope of
Services, Exhibit “B” – Schedule of Payment and Fee Schedule. In the event any ambiguity or
conflict between the Contract Documents listed above, the order of precedence shall be the
following order: (i) this Agreement; (ii) Exhibit “A”, (iii) Exhibit “B”.
2. REPRESENTATIVES. City has designated John Powell, Public Works
Director/City Engineer (the “City Representative”), and the Engineer has designated Dan Coyle,
Vice President (the “Engineer Representative”). The City Representative and the Engineer
Representative shall be available as often as is reasonably necessary for reviewing the Services
and Work to be performed.
3. COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES. Engineer shall be paid by the City for the
services described in Exhibit “A” on an hourly basis in accordance with the attached fee schedule,
Exhibit “B”, but not to exceed $62,125 inclusive of taxes and reimbursable costs.
A. Any changes in the scope of the Work which may result in an increase to the
compensation due the Engineer shall require prior written approval by the
Page 195 of 211
224345v1
authorized representative of the City or by the City Council. The City will not pay
additional compensation for services that do not have prior written authorization.
B. Special Consultants may be utilized by the Engineer when required by the complex
or specialized nature of the Project and when authorized in writing by the City.
4. COMPLETION DATE/TERM. The Engineer must complete the Services by
October 31, 2023. This Agreement may be extended upon the written mutual consent of the parties
for such additional period as they deem appropriate, and upon the terms and conditions as herein
stated.
5. OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS. All plans, diagrams, analyses, reports and
information generated in connection with the performance of the Agreement (“Information”) shall
become the property of the City, but Engineer may retain copies of such documents as records of
the services provided. The City may use the Information for its purposes and the Engineer also
may use the Information for its purposes. Use of the Information for the purposes of the project
contemplated by this Agreement does not relieve any liability on the part of the Engineer, but any
use of the Information by the City or the Engineer beyond the scope of the Project is without
liability to the other, and the party using the Information agrees to defend and indemnify the other
from any claims or liability resulting therefrom.
6. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS. In providing services
hereunder, Engineer shall abide by all statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations pertaining to the
provisions of services to be provided. Any violation of statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations
pertaining to the Services to be provided shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and
entitle the City to immediately terminate this Agreement. Engineer’s books, records, documents,
and accounting procedures and practices related to services provided to the City are subject to
examination by the legislative auditor or the state auditor, as appropriate, for a minimum of six
years.
7. STANDARD OF CARE. Engineer shall exercise the same degrees of care, skill,
and diligence in the performance of the Services as is ordinarily possessed and exercised by a
professional engineer under similar circumstances. Engineer shall be liable to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law, without limitation, for any injuries, loss, or damages proximately
caused by Engineer’s breach of this standard of care. Engineer shall put forth reasonable efforts
to complete its duties in a timely manner. Engineer shall not be responsible for delays caused by
factors beyond its control or that could not be reasonably foreseen at the time of execution of this
Agreement. Engineer shall be responsible for costs, delays, or damages arising from unreasonable
delays in the performance of its duties. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is included in
this Agreement. City shall not be responsible for discovering deficiencies in the accuracy of
Engineer’s services.
8. INDEMNIFICATION. The Engineer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless
the City, its officers, agents, and employees, of and from any and all judgments, claims, damages,
demands, actions, causes of action, including costs and attorney's fees paid or incurred but only to
the extent caused by negligent or intentional act or omission of the Engineer, its agents, contractors
Page 196 of 211
224345v1
and employees, relative to this Agreement. City will indemnify and hold Engineer harmless from
and against any loss for injuries or damages arising out of the negligent acts of the City, its officers,
agents, or employees.
9. INSURANCE.
a. General Liability. Prior to starting the Work, Engineer shall procure,
maintain, and pay for such insurance as will protect against claims or loss
which may arise out of operations by Engineer or by any subcontractor or
by anyone employed by any of them or by anyone for whose acts any of
them may be liable. Such insurance shall include, but not be limited to,
minimum coverages and limits of liability specified in this Paragraph, or
required by law.

The City shall be named as an additional insured on the general liability and
umbrella policies.
c. Professional Liability Insurance. In addition to the coverages listed above,
Engineer shall maintain a professional liability insurance policy in the amount of
$2,000,000. Said policy need not name the City as an additional insured.

Page 197 of 211
224345v1
e. All policies, except the Worker’s Compensation Policy, Automobile Policy, and
Professional Liability Policy, shall name the “City of Farmington” as an additional
insured.
f. All policies, except the Professional Liability Policy, shall apply on a “per project”
basis.
g. All polices shall contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of the City.
h. All policies, except for the Worker’s Compensation Policy and the Professional
Liability Policy, shall be primary and non-contributory.
i. All polices, except the Worker’s Compensation Policy, and Professional Liability
Policy shall insure the defense and indemnity obligations assumed by Engineer
under this Agreement.
j. Engineer agrees to maintain all coverage required herein throughout the term of the
Agreement and for a minimum of two (2) years following City’s written acceptance
of the Work.
k. It shall be Engineer’s responsibility to pay any retention or deductible for the
coverages required herein.
l. The Engineer’s policies and Certificate of Insurance shall contain a provision that
coverage afforded under the policies shall not be cancelled without at least thirty
(30) days advanced written notice to the City.
m. Engineer shall maintain in effect all insurance coverages required under this
Paragraph at Engineer’s sole expense and with insurance companies licensed to do
business in the state in Minnesota and having a current A.M. Best rating of no less
than A-, unless specifically accepted by City in writing and all insurance policies
shall be on ISO forms acceptable to the City.
n. A copy of the Engineer’s Certificate of Insurance which evidences the
compliance with this Paragraph, must be filed with City prior to the start of
Engineer’s Work. Upon request a copy of the Engineer’s insurance declaration
page, rider and/or endorsement, as applicable shall be provided. Such documents
evidencing insurance shall be in a form acceptable to City and shall provide
satisfactory evidence that Engineer has complied with all insurance requirements.
Renewal certificates shall be provided to City prior to the expiration date of any of
the required policies. City will not be obligated, however, to review such Certificate
of Insurance, declaration page, rider, endorsement, certificates, or other evidence
of insurance, or to advise Engineer of any deficiencies in such documents and
receipt thereof shall not relieve Engineer from, nor be deemed a waiver of, City’s
Page 198 of 211
224345v1
right to enforce the terms of Engineer’s obligations hereunder. City reserves the
right to examine any policy provided for under this Agreement.
o. Effect of Engineer’s Failure to Provide Insurance. If Engineer fails to provide the
specified insurance, then Engineer will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the
City, the City's officials, agents, and employees from any loss, claim, liability, and
expense (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses of litigation) to the
extent necessary to afford the same protection as would have been provided by the
specified insurance. Except to the extent prohibited by law, this indemnity applies
regardless of any strict liability or negligence attributable to the City (including sole
negligence) and regardless of the extent to which the underlying occurrence (i.e.,
the event giving rise to a claim which would have been covered by the specified
insurance) is attributable to the negligent or otherwise wrongful act or omission
(including breach of contract) of Engineer, its subcontractors, agents, employees or
delegates. Engineer agrees that this indemnity shall be construed and applied in
favor of indemnification. Engineer also agrees that if applicable law limits or
precludes any aspect of this indemnity, then the indemnity will be considered
limited only to the extent necessary to comply with that applicable law. The stated
indemnity continues until all applicable statutes of limitation have run.
If a claim arises within the scope of the stated indemnity in section o, the City may require
Engineer to:
i. Furnish and pay for a surety bond, satisfactory to the City, guaranteeing
performance of the indemnity obligation; or
ii. Furnish a written acceptance of tender of defense and indemnity from Engineer's
insurance company.
Engineer will take the action required by the City within fifteen (15) days of receiving
notice from the City.
10. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The City hereby retains the Engineer as an
independent contractor upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Engineer
is not an employee of the City and is free to contract with other entities as provided herein.
Engineer shall be responsible for selecting the means and methods of performing the work.
Engineer shall furnish any and all supplies, equipment, and incidentals necessary for Engineer's
performance under this Agreement. City and Engineer agree that Engineer shall not at any time
or in any manner represent that Engineer or any of Engineer's agents or employees are in any
manner agents or employees of the City. Engineer shall be exclusively responsible under this
Agreement for Engineer's own FICA payments, workers compensation payments, unemployment
compensation payments, withholding amounts, and/or self-employment taxes if any such
payments, amounts, or taxes are required to be paid by law or regulation.
11. SUBCONTRACTORS. Engineer shall not enter into subcontracts for services
provided under this Agreement without the express written consent of the City. Engineer shall
comply with Minnesota Statute § 471.425. Engineer must pay subcontractor for all undisputed
services provided by subcontractor within ten (10) days of Engineer’s receipt of payment from
Page 199 of 211
224345v1
City. Engineer must pay interest of 1.5 percent per month or any part of a month to subcontractor
on any undisputed amount not paid on time to subcontractor. The minimum monthly interest
penalty payment for an unpaid balance of $100 or more is $10.
12. ASSIGNMENT AND THIRD PARTIES. Neither party shall assign this
Agreement, nor any interest arising herein, without the written consent of the other party. Nothing
under this Agreement shall be construed to give any rights or benefits in this Agreement to anyone
other than the City and Engineer, and all duties and responsibilities undertaken pursuant to this
Agreement will be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the City and Engineer and not for the
benefit of any other party.
13. WAIVER. Any waiver by either party of a breach of any provisions of this
Agreement shall not affect, in any respect, the validity of the remainder of this Agreement.
14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The entire agreement of the parties is contained herein.
This Agreement supersedes all oral agreements and negotiations between the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof as well as any previous agreements presently in effect between the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof. Any alterations, amendments, deletions, or waivers of the
provisions of this Agreement shall be valid only when expressed in writing and duly signed by the
parties, unless otherwise provided herein.
15. CONTROLLING LAW AND VENUE. This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota. All proceedings related to
this contract shall be venued in the Dakota County District Court.
16. COPYRIGHT. Engineer shall defend actions or claims charging infringement of
any copyright or patent by reason of the use or adoption of any designs, drawings, or specifications
supplied by it, and it shall hold harmless the City from loss or damage resulting therefrom.
17. RECORDS. The Engineer shall maintain complete and accurate records of time
and expense involved in the performance of services.
18. MINNESOTA GOVERNMENT DATA PRACTICES ACT. Engineer must
comply with the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13, as it
applies to (1) all data provided by the City pursuant to this Agreement, and (2) all data, created,
collected, received, stored, used, maintained, or disseminated by the Engineer pursuant to this
Agreement. Engineer is subject to all the provisions of the Minnesota Government Data Practices
Act, including but not limited to the civil remedies of Minnesota Statutes Section 13.08, as if it
were a government entity. In the event Engineer receives a request to release data, Engineer must
immediately notify City. City will give Engineer instructions concerning the release of the data to
the requesting party before the data is released. Engineer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold
City, its officials, officers, agents, employees, and volunteers harmless from any claims resulting
from Engineer’s officers’, agents’, partners’, employees’, volunteers’, assignees’, or
subcontractors’ unlawful disclosure and/or use of protected data. The terms of this paragraph shall
survive the cancellation or termination of this Agreement.
Page 200 of 211
224345v1
19. TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated by City on thirty (30) days’
written notice delivered to Engineer at the address on file with the City. Upon termination under
this provision if there is no fault of the Engineer, the Engineer shall be paid for services rendered
and reimbursable expenses until the effective date of termination. If the City terminates the
Agreement because the Engineer has failed to perform in accordance with this Agreement, no
further payment shall be made to the Engineer, and the City may retain another engineer to
undertake or complete the work identified in Paragraph 1. The Engineer shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement upon Thirty (30) days’ notice to the City upon breach by the City of any
of its obligations under this Agreement. In the event of such termination, the Engineer shall be
paid for all services performed up to the effective date of the termination.
20. NON-DISCRIMINATION. During the performance of this Agreement, the
Engineer shall not discriminate against any employee or applicants for employment because of
race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status with regard to public
assistance, disability, sexual orientation or age. The Engineer shall post in places available to
employees and applicants for employment, notices setting forth the provision of this non-
discrimination clause and stating that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for
employment. The Engineer shall incorporate the foregoing requirements of this paragraph in all
of its subcontracts for program work, and will require all of its subcontractors for such work to
incorporate such requirements in all subcontracts for program work. The Engineer further agrees
to comply with all aspects of the Minnesota Human Rights Act, Minnesota Statutes 363.01, et.
seq., Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
21. SURVIVAL. All express representations, waivers, indemnifications, and
limitations of liability included in this Agreement will survive its completion or termination for
any reason.
22. SERVICES NOT PROVIDED FOR. Claims for services furnished by the
Engineer not specifically provided for herein shall not be honored by the City.
23. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement are severable. If any portion
hereof is, for any reason, held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such
decision shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
24. CONFLICTS. No officer or salaried employee of the City and no member of the
Council of the City shall have a financial interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement. The
violation of this provision renders the Agreement void.
25. NOTICES. Any notice required under this Agreement will be in writing, addressed
to the appropriate party at its address on the signature page and given personally, by facsimile, by
registered or certified mail postage prepaid, or by a commercial courier service. All notices shall
be effective upon the date of receipt.

waiver of that provision, nor shall it affect the enforceability of that provision or of the remainder
of this Agreement.

The City of Farmington is seeking professional services to prepare a feasibility report and 30% design
for both projects. Authorizations for final design and construction administration will be developed
after the feasibility stage.
Scope of Work – Preliminary Design and Feasibility Report
Kimley-Horn will provide the following feasibility study and preliminary design services for the City of
Farmington 2024 Street and Ut ility Improvements and 2024 Mill and Overlay Project:
TASK 1 ದದ PROJECT MANAGEMENT, MEETINGS, COORDINATION AND DATA COLLECTION
1.1. General Project Management, Scheduling, Invoicing – We will ensure that all project
deliverables are submitted on time to facilitate the preliminary project schedule. We will work
with City staff to provide ample time for review and approval for project items as necessary.
Regular communication via phone/email will be facilitated throughout the project delivery with
City staff. A detailed project schedule will be developed and maintained to provide clear
upcoming tasks and deliverables. This scheduling will include updates with completed tasks
and upcoming project items to be completed. Billing will be completed monthly.
1.2. Project Management Team (PMT) Meetings (Up to 2) – We will conduct up to two (2) project
management team (PMT) meetings to include City of Farmington staff. Meetings are to be
used to coordinate design elements throughout the project. We will prepare the agendas and
meeting summaries to be provided to attendees. The first meeting is assumed to act as an
in-person kickoff meeting to the project and include project walkthroughs of the
reconstruction and mill and overlay areas.
1.3. Topographic Survey – Topographic survey is proposed to be completed by Egan, Field &
Nowak, Inc. (EFN). The survey area assumes to encompass the entire reconstruction area
within public right-of-way. Topographic survey is to include the following elements:
- Cross sections every 50 feet or as necessary to define sections and profiles.
- Existing right-of-way and easements
- Centerline locations and elevations
- Edge of bituminous pavement or gravel
- Storm drains and catch basin locations
- Culvert location, sizes, and invert elevations
- Utilities on or above ground surface
- Utilities located underground (Gopher State One Call required)
- Landscape features (retaining walls, flower gardens, planters, etc.)

The survey file shall be formatted in a single AutoCAD 3D containing a Civil 3D surface
generated from field point data and break lines.
TASK 2 ದದ PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
2.1. Neighborhood Meetings (up to 2 meetings) – We will develop and conduct up to two (2) in-
person neighborhood meetings. These neighborhood meetings are to focus on the 2024
Street and Utility Improvements project area and residents. An initial input gathering meeting
will occur before preliminary design begins to introduce the project, with a second meeting
occurring showing the development of reconstruction options to be presented to the public.
Up to two (2) Kimley-Horn members will be present at the neighborhood meetings.
2.2. Stakeholder Coordination Meetings (up to 2 meetings) – We will coordinate preliminary
design elements with the City of Farmington to prepare for and conduct individual
stakeholder meetings with representatives from the Farmington Elementary School and
Farmington Public School. Up to two (2) Kimley-Horn members will be present at
stakeholder meetings. It is assumed that the City will coordinate correspondence with
stakeholder representatives.
2.3. Public Information Mailings – Ahead of each neighborhood meeting a mailing will be
provided in advance informing property owners in the reconstruction project area of the time,
date, and location of the meeting. It is assumed that the City will provide a list of property
owner names and addresses. Kimley-Horn will draft a notice letter to be sent to each
property for review by the City. Kimley-Horn will mail notices to each property address
provided by the City. Following mailings being sent to property owners, Kimley-Horn will
provide an affidavit to the City detailing the date and property addresses to which notices
were mailed.

notices to each property address provided by the City, and then provide an affidavit to the
City detailing the date and property addresses to which notices were mailed.
2.4. PublicCoordinate – We propose creating an interactive feedback map for the reconstruction
project using our proprietary mapping software, PublicCoordinate. This interactive map shall
be updated to solicit feedback on proposed reconstruction alternatives. The mapping tool will
import proposed roadway linework to allow residents and community members to view and
