Re: 2026 Street Improvement Project
Request to Authorize Preparation of Plans and Specifications
Dear Mayor and Council:
As part of the pavement management plan and in coordination with City Staff, we request that
the City Council authorize preparation of plans and specifications for the 2026 Street
Improvement Project. The scope of this project was determined upon completion of preliminary
topo survey and discussions with City Staff. The project scope will include the following:
• Reconstructing the road to a minimum width of 14 ft.
• Constructing a retaining wall along the bluff that will allow the roadway to shift East.
• Adding a guardrail along the East side of the road for safety.
• Adding storm sewer pipe and structures as needed to effectively drain and treat water.
This project will be crucial for the City of Scandia to continue providing access for emergency
vehicles to the increasing number of year-round residential homes accessed by 197th Street.
The City budgeted a total of $870,000.00 for this project. This project required topo survey, soil
boring collection, and wetland delineations which have already been completed. The extents of
the project are shown on the attached location plan.
The anticipated project schedule is as follows:
Authorize Preparation of Plans & Specifications August 19, 2025
