6. Discussion on the MnDOT Landscape Partnership design proposal Staff Report Date of Meeting: March 7, 2018 To: City Council From: Neil Soltis, Administrator Re: MnDOT State Landscape Partnership Program Background: Based on a Council discussion in early 2017 the City requested design assistance from MnDOT for landscaping improvements along STH 97. In 2017 the EDA reviewed potential locations and focused on the intersection of STH 97 and Olinda as the initial location. The EDA has been working with Todd Carroll, the Statewide Landscape Partnership Coordinator for MnDOT on a design for the improvements. At the February EDA meetin g Todd presented updated plans for planting on the 4 corners of the intersection of MN 97 and Olinda Trail. The plans have been modified to reflect a greater emphasis on native species while keeping points of interest for all seasons. The intention of the project would be to help to create a brand identity for and attract interest to the downtown. To proceed further the City will need to make an application to the program. The application must include a formal resolution indicating community support for the desired improvements and authorization of a primary contact person to apply to MnDOT for funding. A copy of the plans are attached along with information on the program Issue: Should a resolution be brought forward to the Council at the March meeting Fiscal Impact: The cost for the materials in the design are estimated at $7,000 which would be paid by MnDOT with the City or community groups being responsible for the installation and future maintenance of the plantings. 2/12/2018 2:47:54 PM DATE PRINTED:TIME PRINTED: FEET IN SCALES 0 0 NO SCALE 500 30 INDEX MAP GENERAL LAYOUT PLAN Design Speed ADT (Current Year) MPH 20164,800 60 SHEET NO.OF SHEETS8 TITLE SHEET 1STATE PROJECT 8212-969 (T.H. 97=097) OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP ENV.

This is a reimbursement program, not a grant. The program has four goals: (1) roadside beautification, (2) community improvement, (3) environmental stewardship, and (4) community engagement. This manual describes the program and application requirements, and provides examples of required documents. Part I is the Program Description. Part II is the Application Form and the instructions to complete the form. Part III is the Appendices that provide other information pertinent to the application process. If you have any questions about the program or application requirements, please call (651) 366-4617 to speak with Mn/DOT's Landscape Partnership Program Coordinator, or visit the website at: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/roadsides/partners/index.html Applicant Eligibility For purposes of this program, ‘Communities’ are defined as counties, home rule charters, statutory cities or towns, townships, and Counties. Ineligible applicants will not be considered unless they are sponsored by a community or other unit of government that can execute and honor a cooperative agreement with MnDOT (a necessary requirement for MnDOT to transfer funds.) If you have questions about your group’s eligibility, please contact the Landscape Partnership Program Coordinator for assistance. Eligibile Components Funds awarded under this program must be used for roadside landscaping located on state trunk highway rights of way with fee or easement title. Interstate freeways and high volume divided highways with controlled access may be excluded from this program due to liability, safety, and access problems. MnDOT District Staff or the Landscape Architect/Designer assigned will help determine if the site is suitable. Components that support the goals of the program include, but are not limited to, the following: - Trees, shrubs, vines, perennial groundcovers, wildflowers and grasses. - Soil amendments, herbicides, edging, weed fabric, wood fiber blanket, mulch (wood chip, rock or other approved types), rodent protection, staking and guying, gator bags, and seedling shelters. Components that support the goals of the program, which MnDOT can help design and locate, but are not funded by Mn/DOT’s Landscape Partnership Program are: - Community entrance monuments - Annual flowers, hanging baskets, bulbs - Retaining walls, walkways, planters, benches, lighting, irrigation systems, bicycle racks, etc… Community Roadside Landscape Partnership Manual and Application 3 Communities seeking approval to initiate a proposed landscape partnership project with provision of MnDOT technical and design assistance must submit a written request to the appropriate MnDOT District Engineer (see Appendix III.), along with the completed application. Design - Assistance Needed (MNDOT Prepared Plans) If you need design assistance, please complete the all of the application except sections 6 and 7. Also please include all of the required attachments, except attachment “C”. Submittal can be at anytime during the year. Allow between 6 months to 1 year for design and municipal agreement processes. Design – Submitting Plans Prepared by Others If you are submitting your own design, please complete your written request and submit your applications for fall planting to Mn/DOT by May 31st. Applications for spring planting must be submitted to MnDOT by December 31st. Program Goals Project components must support at least one of the three goals of the program (roadside beautification, community improvement, and environmental stewardship.) In the formative stages of the project, the applicant must form and designate a committee of at least three contact people for the project. At least one of the three contact people must be an employee or official representative of the local government unit requesting or sponsoring the project. The designated individuals on the committee would then be responsible for overall project liaison and coordination prior to and during the submission of the application, as well as during implementation stages, installation, and maintenance period of the project. Community Support At least one of the committee members will be required to help set up a training session for the Community. They will be responsible for providing Community workers and volunteers with Mn/DOT supplied instructions, and information packets pertaining to safe and proper worker supervision, materials handling, plant installation and plant maintenance. Community Resolution The application must include a formal resolution indicating community support for the desired improvements and authorization of a primary contact person to apply to MnDOT for funding. See Appendix I for sample resolution. MNDOT Approved Plan A MnDOT approved (District and Landscape Partnership Program Coordinator) landscape plan at a scale of not more than 50'=1" must be included as part of the application. Community Roadside Landscape Partnership Manual and Application 4 (11" x 17" reductions are acceptable for application purposes.) The landscape plan shall incorporate by reference or attachment, standard MnDOT planting details, material specifications and special provisions as applicable. The plan may be prepared by one of MnDOT's landscape architects, landscape designers or foresters with no obligation or cost to the community, as scheduled work loads permit. Potential applicants may use the services of local landscape design professionals to prepare plans, at their own cost, thereby minimizing time delays that may occur as a result of MnDOT's workload. MnDOT's project manager will assist applicants in obtaining base mapping information, design guidelines, required reviews, and necessary approvals. Community designed plans will need to be reviewed by Mn/DOT Staff, to determine if the project meets minimum standards for safety and mobility. Funding - Reimbursment Funding assistance is limited to the estimated cost of providing the required landscape materials. Materials included, but not limited to are: soil amendments, herbicides, plant materials, seed, sod, mulch, rodent guards, gator bags, and other miscellaneous materials necessary for the project. Eligible projects must include a minimum of $1,000 worth of materials and the maximum award of funds for any project or project phase shall not exceed $30,000 1 in any given year. The program requires that a community provide the funds or in-kind services to install and maintain the state funded materials. Applicants may utilize their own labor forces, service organizations, volunteers or contractors. The community must act as the contract letting and administration authority where contract installation is desired. Contract awards must be received and approved by District Staff and the Landscape Partnership Coordinator, before the project can be started. If volunteers are to be used, the application must include a volunteer pledge list 2 identifying sufficient numbers of volunteers to complete the scope of work within an acceptable time period. Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older unless accompanied and supervised by an adult at all times. A ratio of at least one adult supervisor for every five children under the age of 18 is required. Successful applicants are required to enter into a Cooperative Agreement with MnDOT to install and maintain the roadside landscape improvements. A detailed landscape plan showing actual locations and quantities of materials along with the specifications and special provisions will form the basis of the Agreement together with the application and schedule of maintenance requirements (Appendix V). Application The applicant must submit the completed application and written request to the appropriate MnDOT District Engineer (Appendix III). The application could also be sent electronically, in PDF Format. The application will then be reviewed for approval by MnDOT's District and Community Roadside Landscape Partnership Program staff. 1 The upper limit cost is determined by the local District office, based on funding available for the fiscal year. 2 Estimated Volunteers needed based on 1 person planting either: 1 tree/hour or 4 shrubs/hour or 20 perennials/hour Community Roadside Landscape Partnership Manual and Application 5 Criteria for Evaluating Applications After the completed application has been submitted to MnDOT, additional information may be required. Clarification of vague or ambiguous application materials may be requested by the MnDOT review team. Incomplete applications will not be considered for funding. In order for an application to be reviewed, it must contain the basic, minimal requirements as outlined in this manual. Applications may be approved for funding in the full amount requested or in an amount less than requested. The criteria to be used in reviewing and ranking qualifying applications include: 1. Extent to which the proposed project meets one or more of the goals of the program. 2. Extent to which the proposed project is consistent with MnDOT policy, safety, design, and operations guidelines. 3. Extent to which the proposed project and partner demonstrate a strong likelihood for successful installation, establishment and maintenance of the roadside landscaping investment. Project Fund Reimbursement Project Fund reimbursement is contingent upon: - Appropriate preparatory work and installation of approved landscape materials. Approved materials need to include all certificates and licenses required by the state, as per MnDOT spec 2571. - Execution and approval of the Cooperative Agreement. Funds may be transferred to the community upon receipt of a written request to the Statewide Landscape Partnership Coordinator with a copy of the purchase orders and/or invoices for landscape materials. o The letter needs to include the project number, agreement number and the amount of reimbursement that is being requested o The letter must also state if the amount being requested is for payment in full or for a partial payment.  A partial payment may be made if the community was not able to complete all planting operations on the day of the planting, but need to be reimbursed for the material that has been planted to date.  The city must then request a final payment after the project is completed. o A partial payment by MnDOT does not constitute an agreement for additional plantings outside of the original agreement. o A partial or full payment does not guarantee an approval for future projects with MnDOT, unless the community submits another application.

Over 1 lbs/1000 sq. ft. of “actual nitrogen” will burn turf if it is quick‐release.  Up to 2 lbs/1000 sq. ft can be applied  if it is slow release nitrogen.  For example, the rate of 25 lbs of 12‐12‐12/1000 sq. ft. specified for mass muclh beds  equates to 3 lbs of “actual nitrogen’ per 1000 sq. ft.  (2) Plants that fix nitrogen, like silver buffaloberry, caragana, honeylocust, or other legumes should not be fertilized  except under special conditions.  Tall shrubs do not need to be fertilized if leaf color remains normal.  (3) If Turf is not mowed, every 3 years would be sufficient for frequency.
