ACCEPT DAKOTA ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION’S STREET LIGHTING ESTIMATE FOR
DODD BOULEVARD AND FLAGSTAFF AVENUE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to accept Dakota Electric Association’s
cost estimate and authorize installation of a street lighting system for Dodd Boulevard and Flagstaff
Avenue Intersection Improvements, City Project 18-05.
Overview
The City and Dakota County are partnering to construct intersection improvements at Dodd
Boulevard and Flagstaff Avenue to improve intersection operations and alleviate congestion, make
safety improvements and provide capacity for increasing traffic levels. Improvements include a
single-lane roundabout, trail and sidewalk, watermain replacement and storm water management
improvements. The City Council awarded the construction contract to S.M. Hentges & Sons on
April 1, 2019. The project should be substantially complete by August 30, 2019.
Dakota Electric Association (DEA) submitted a cost estimate to install a street lighting system to
support the intersection improvements. Streetlights will be owned by DEA.
Primary Issues to Consider
• The City is the lead agency; therefore, the total estimated cost of $52,765.21 to install the
street lighting system (both City and County share) is reflected in this memo. The County
will reimburse the City 55% of the costs, consistent with the project’s Joint Powers
Agreement.
• Costs for electric power necessary for the operation and maintenance of the streetlights
after installation will be in accordance with the project’s Joint Powers Agreement and
County policies in the adopted Dakota County Transportation Plan.
