AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends the City Council approve a professional services agreement.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
Yes No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
In 2003, the City consulted with Hakanson Anderson to complete storm water modeling and preparation of
a report to set up an Otsego Creek Storm Water Utility fee. The work was done using ACAD and based on
potential development of the area draining to Otsego Creek. The area in the last 20 years has developed in
accordance with the Comprehensive Plan and storm water modeling has advanced significantly. City Staff
is recommending updating the model and report for the following reasons:
• Existing report and derived fees are nearly 20 years old
• Model will use XPSWM, which is accepted by FEMA and DNR
• Existing development outfall locations and flows can be input
• Input latest Comprehensive Plan land uses
• New model can be used to compare to FEMA Flood Plain
• Approximately 1/3 of the Otsego Creek watershed has been developed
• Update Storm Water Impact Fee accordingly
• Timing is right – expanded W-WWTF begins operations in 2024
• Currently, AE2S is completing the modeling for Otsego Creek rehab in Prairie Pointe which is
required to show that the improvements do not affect any property up or downstream. That work
dovetails nicely with the overall updated model design
• Hakanson will provide all outfall information, as-built and design flows from existing developments
and will complete the report and determine an updated Storm Water Impact fee
AE2S has provided the City with a scope and estimated cost of $112,005. The Public Works Subcommittee
was presented this information at their August and September meetings with recommendation for City
Council consideration and approval.
The City Attorney has reviewed the professional services agreement and provided a recommendation to
proceed.

5.01 Opinions of Probable Construction Cost
A. Engineer’s opinions of probable Construction Cost are to be made on the basis of Engineer’s experience
and qualifications and represent Engineer’s estimate as an experienced and qualified professional generally
familiar with the construction industry. However, because of the limited and preliminary nature of the
Assignment, and because Engineer has no control over the cost of labor, materials, equipment, or services
furnished by others, or over contractors’ methods of determining prices, or over competitive bidding or
market conditions, Engineer cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bids, or actual Construction
Cost will not vary from opinions of probable Construction Cost prepared by Engineer. If Owner requires
greater assurance as to probable Construction Cost, Owner must employ an independent cost estimator.
5.02 Opinions of Total Project Costs
A. The services, if any, of Engineer with respect to Total Project Costs shall be limited to assisting the Owner
in collating the various cost categories which comprise Total Project Costs. Engineer assumes no
responsibility for the accuracy of any opinions of Total Project Costs.
ARTICLE 6 – GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

payment of damages for legal liability arising out of the performance of professional services for the Owner,
in the insured's capacity as Engineer, if such legal liability is caused by a negligent act, error or omission of
the insured or any person or organization for which the insured is legally liable. The policy shall provide
minimum limits of $1,000,000 with a deductible maximum of $125,000 unless the Owner agrees to a higher

A. Termination for Cause: The obligation to continue performance under this Agreement may be terminated:
By either party upon 30 days written notice in the event of substantial failure by the other party to perform in
accordance with the Agreement’s terms through no fault of the terminating party. Failure to pay Engineer for its
services is a substantial failure to perform and a basis for termination.
By Engineer:

receipt of such notice, to correct its substantial failure to perform and proceeds diligently to cure
such failure within no more than 30 days of receipt of notice; provided, however, that if and to
the extent such substantial failure cannot be reasonably cured within such 30 day period, and if
such party has diligently attempted to cure the same and thereafter continues diligently to cure
the same, then the cure period provided for herein shall extend up to, but in no case more than,
60 days after the date of receipt of the notice.
B. Termination for Convenience: Owner may terminate the Agreement for Owner's convenience effective
upon the Engineer's receipt of written notice from Owner.
C. The terminating party under Paragraphs 6.04.A or 6.04.B may set the effective date of termination at a
time up to 30 days later than otherwise provided to allow Engineer to complete tasks whose value would
otherwise be lost, to prepare notes as to the status of completed and uncompleted tasks, and to assemble
Project materials in orderly files.
D. In the event of any termination under Paragraph 6.04, Engineer will be entitled to invoice Owner and to
receive full payment for all services performed or furnished in accordance with this Agreement and all
reimbursable expenses incurred through the effective date of termination.

City of Otsego
Otsego Creek Hydrologic & Hydraulic Model
Exhibit A1 – Scope of Services
This project will develop a hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) model for the Otsego Creek
watershed. The model will be developed for two primary reasons: (1) establish accurate peak
flow rate and high water levels throughout the system and (2) for undeveloped areas, identify
future regional stormwater needs (e.g. ponds, trunk storm sewer, etc.) to understand future
stormwater impact fees.
The findings of the H&H model will be used to aide in the review of proposed development
plans to inform critical building and roadway crossing elevations as well as used to size any
creek culvert crossings. FEMA, in collaboration with the Minnesota DNR (DNR), is in the process
of establishing a regulatory FEMA Zone AE floodplain for a portion of the creek. Based on an
initial review of the preliminary model, it is not utilizing accurate hydrologic or hydraulic
information. Therefore, if the FEMA preliminary mapping is adopted, areas could be mapped
incorrectly throughout the City. The H&H model developed as part of this project is a FEMA
approved modeling software (XPSWMM) and can be used to re-map the floodplain using more
accurate modeling procedures and data.
Significant areas of the community have been developed in the last 15-years. This model will be
able to accurately identify regional stormwater needs of the remaining development areas
within the Otsego Creek watershed. These findings will then be used to determine an accurate
stormwater impact fee needed for the undeveloped parcels.
The scope of services have been detailed in this Exhibit A1 - Scope of Services, supplemented
by the Task Hour Budget (attached as Exhibit A2) and as shown in the Study Area Key
Assumptions Map (attached as Exhibit A3).

Page 3 of 8
2. Data Collection
a. Background: Data collection is a key component to constructing an accurate and
reliable model. The output results reflect the quality of the input data in addition
to the amount of detail that is included in the model. AE2S will work with the City
to obtain the necessary data (e.g. landuse, storm sewer, creek crossings, creek
cross sections, and ponds) within the study area.
b. AE2S Services:
i. Review and log all record data received from City. Log gaps in the data (if
any),
ii. Compare the historic data to the most resent aerials to verify accuracy of
the data (this is only applicable for existing landuse, pond, and creek
section data),
iii. Review the survey data provided by the City for all creek crossing and
creek cross sections. Verify the data is complete and adequate for
constructing a 1D XPSWMM model. Log any data gaps.
iv. Create an Existing Impervious Surfaces File for the study area,
v. Create a Full Build Impervious Surfaces File for the study area, and
vi. Milestone Meeting 1 – Kickoff/Data Review. This meeting will provide the
City and AE2S the opportunity to discuss the quality of the input data, any
gaps there may be, and the best assumptions to make for data that may
be unavailable. It will also provide for the opportunity to discuss and
finalize modeling mythologies and procedures.
c. Deliverables:
i. One (1) data log used throughout the data collection phase identifying all
data collected, any missing data or data that is still needed to be
collected. This will be integrated into the final report provided at the end
of Task 4.

d. Assumptions:
i. The study area will include the watershed for the Otsego Creek from 70th
Street Northeast to Mason Avenue Northeast.
ii. The City will share with AE2S record drawings (organized by development
with a development index) for all of the developments that have been
constructed in the model area (including creek crossings and creek cross
section).
iii. The City will survey all existing creek crossings and creek cross sections
that do not have record drawings.
iv. The City will share with AE2S existing digital storm sewer files for the
model area.
v. The City will share with AE2S existing and full build digital landuse files for
the model area.
vi. The City will share with AE2S digital drainage area data available for the
study area.
Page 4 of 8
vii. AE2S will use LIDAR surface elevation data, except in areas where grading
or creek cross sections record drawings are provided.
viii. AE2S will download soils data from the NRCS Web Soil Survey to create
the Soils File.
ix. AE2S will create the Existing Impervious Surfaces File for the study area
using the vegetation infrared LIDAR data and the landuse data.
1. No more than four hours will be spent to post-processing the
existing impervious vs pervious surface GIS file.
2. Water will be treated as impervious surface area.
x. AE2S will create the Full Build Impervious Surfaces File for the study area
using the future landuse provided by the City.
xi. The City will provide a map (or digital file) of the Future Development
Parcels (minimum of 40 acres per parcel). This information will be used by
AE2S to create future drainage areas and storage nodes in Task 4.
Page 5 of 8
3. Existing Conditions Model Development
a. Background: This task involves modeling the existing conditions of the creek,
upstream of Mason Ave. NE, including the Prairie Pointe development
improvements which are proposed to be completed in 2023.
A one-dimensional model will be created using XPSWMM software. XPSWMM is
a dynamic software capable of modeling urban and rural drainage in one
platform and is readily used throughout the region. Also, this area is anticipated
to have approved FEMA flood mapping as soon as 2024. XPSWMM is an
approved FEMA flood mapping software; therefore, the results of the model can
be use in future CLOMRs and LOMRs.
b. AE2S Services:
i. Develop existing hydrologic parameters for the XPSWMM model for the
Otsego Creek watershed. Hydrologic parameters will be developed using
TR-55 methodology (CN values, Time of Concentration, etcetera).
1. Delineate watersheds to create the Existing Drainage Area File.
Watersheds will be delineated based on a one-to-one ratio with
existing ponds, storage areas, or other features,
2. Intersect the Existing Drainage Area File with the Soils File and the
Existing Impervious Surfaces File to create the Existing CN file,
3. Import the hydrology data from the Existing CN file into
XPSWMM. This will eventually become the Existing XPSWMM
Model, and
4. Calculate time of concentrations for each existing drainage area.
ii. Develop one (1) Existing XPSWMM H&H Model (Existing Model) (using the
hydrologic parameters referenced above)
1. Model the existing creek crossings (culverts, roadway overtopping,
etcetera),
2. Model the existing creek cross sections between the crossings
using LIDAR and any supplemental survey information provided by
the City,
3. Create an Existing Ponds File based on survey, record drawings,
aerials, and LIDAR data,
4. Model the existing pond’s flood storage volume,
5. Model the existing pond outlets and discharge pipes for the trunk
storm sewer system from the pond to the creek.
6. Run the Existing Model and trouble shoot errors. Develop results
for the 2, 10, and 100-year, 24-hour, rainfall events.
iii. Evaluate the Prairie Pointe creek crossing to compare the water surface
levels from the XPSWMM model to the HEC-RAS model used to size the
culvert. If the flows to the creek crossing are dramatically different in the
two models (greater or less than 20%), AE2S will evaluate a change order
alternative design for the Prairie Pointe creek crossing.
Page 6 of 8
iv. Develop a draft Creek Crossing Comparison Memorandum for the creek
crossing at the Prairie Pointe development. The memorandum will
summarize the methodology and results of Tasks 1-3 and include the
recommended change order creek crossing (if needed).
v. Milestone Meeting 2 – One (1) Progress Meeting. This meeting will
provide the City and AE2S the opportunity to discuss the results of the
model upstream of the Prairie Pointe development, the draft Creek
Crossing Comparison Memorandum, and any other project related
concerns prior to Task 4.
vi. Develop a final Creek Crossing Comparison Memorandum for the creek
crossing at the Prairie Pointe development. The final memorandum will
summarize the methodology and results of Tasks 1-3 and include the
recommended change order creek crossing (if needed).
vii. Develop one (1) existing, 100-year, Atlas 14, rainfall event digital flood
inundation polygon and PDF figures. The PDF figures will include one (1)
Overall Sturdy Area figure (1-inch = 1000-feet) and tiled maps for the
Creek Details. The Creek Details figures will depict key points along the
creek that are included in the mode (crossings, creek section changes,
junctions, ponding areas, etcetera). AE2S will use the LIDAR data and the
results at each water surface elevation node in the model to develop the
flood inundation polygon. These items will be delivered as part of the
draft and final report created in Task 4.
c. Deliverables:
i. A Creek Crossing Comparison Memorandum (in the form of a PDF) for the
creek crossing at the Prairie Pointe development.
d. Assumptions:
i. The time of concentration for each drainage area will be calculated using
the TR-55 method, with a minimum value of 7-miunutes when applicable.
ii. The SCS curve number method will be used to calculate peak flows for
each drainage area. Composite curve numbers will be calculated by
intersecting the Drainage Areas Files with the Impervious Surface Files and
Soils File in GIS.
iii. The peak flow for each drainage area will be routed directly into the
corresponding pond storage node.
iv. Surface elevations and pond volumes will be taken from LIDAR, unless the
data is provided as part of a survey or record drawing.
v. AE2S will assume the pond volumes will start at the normal water levels.
The normal water levels will be determined based on the outlet elevation
or approximated based on aerial imagery and LIDAR data (unless
provided by record drawing or survey data).
Page 7 of 8
4. Full Build Model Development
a. Background: This task involves modeling the full build condition of the creek
(approximately 2045 condition). The goal is to complete this model to identify
future reginal stormwater infrastructure (ponds and trunk storm sewer) and to
gain an understanding of the stormwater impact fees required for future
developments. Like the Existing Model created in Task 3, the full build model will
be created using XPSWMM software.
b. AE2S Services:
i. Develop Full Build Hydrologic Parameters
1. Delineate watersheds to create the Full Build Drainage Area File,
2. Intersect the Full Build Drainage Area File with the Soils File and
the Full Build Impervious Surfaces File to create the Full Build CN
File,
3. Copy the existing model and update the hydrology areas and CN
values based on the Full Build CN File. This will create the
beginning of the Full Build Model.
4. Calculate and update the time of concentrations for each drainage
area based on the full build landuse.
ii. Develop Full Build Regional Ponds & Trunk Storm Systems
1. Each undeveloped parcels within the watershed will be evaluated
to determine two regional pond and trunkline improvements
(parcel size - minimum 40-acres). HydroCAD will be used to
optimize the regional pond sizes, verify discharge rates from each
parcel, and meet the pre- and post-condition requirements for the
City. The recommended regional pond and trunkline option will be
integrated into the Full Build Ponds File and Full Build Model.
iii. Develop one (1) Full Build XPSWMM H&H Model (Full Build Model)
1. Model the full build creek crossings (culverts, roadway
overtopping, etcetera),
2. Model the full build pond flood storage volumes,
3. Model the full build pond outlets and discharge pipes for the
trunk storm sewer system from the pond to the creek.
4. Run the Full Build Model and trouble shoot errors. Develop results
for the 2, 10, and 100-year, 24- hour, rainfall events.
iv. Develop a draft report, summarizing the methodology and results of
Tasks 1-4. The draft report will include a table of Proposed Reginal
Stormwater Infrastructure. This table will show the future development
parcels, the future pond designs (area, volume, outlet size), and truck
storm sewer lengths. The City will be able to use this data to develop a
stormwater impact fee for the future developments.
v. Milestone Meeting 3 – One (1) Progress Meeting. This meeting will
provide the City and AE2S the opportunity to discuss the results of the
“complete” models, the draft table of Proposed Reginal Stormwater
Infrastructure, and any other project related concerns.

Exhibit A3 Study Area Key Assumptions MapOtsego Creek WatershedCity of OtsegoThe City will provide a rating curve for the off siteflows into the study area or AE2S will assume theflows from the crossing are contently at peek flow.Prairie PointDevelopmentApproximate Future Development Area- The City will provide a map (or digital file) ofthe Future Development Parcels (minimum of40 acres per parcel). This information will beused by AE2S to create future drainage areasand storage nodes in Task 4. - AE2S will evaluate two different regional ponddesigns for each future development parcels(provided by the City) in HydroCAD. Update theFull Build Pond File to include the best of thetwo evaluated optionsLegendApproximate Study AreaApproximate Prairie PointDevelopment AreaApproximate Developed AreaApproximate FutureDevelopment AreaApproximate Development AreaThe City will share with AE2S record drawings(organized by development with a developmentindex) for all of the development areas thathave been constructed in the model area(including creek crossings and creek crosssections). 70th Street NE CrossingMason Ave NE CrossingGeneral Key AssumptionsFrom Task 2- The study area will include the watershed for the Otsego Creek from 70th Street Northeast to Mason Avenue Northeast.- The City will share with AE2S record drawings (organized by development with a development index) for all of the developments thathave been constructed in the model area (including creek crossings and creek cross section).- The City will survey all existing creek crossings and creek cross sections that do not have record drawings- The City will share with AE2S existing digital storm sewer files for the model area.- The City will share with AE2S existing and full build digital landuse files for the model area - The City will share with AE2S digital drainage area data available for the study area.From Task 3- There will be a one-to-one pond to drainage area ratio, except for the creek which will have one drainage area for every culvertcrossing.-The SCS curve number method will be used to calculate peak flows for each drainage area. Composite curve numbers will becalculated by intersecting the Drainage Areas Files with the Impervious Surface Files and Soils File in GIS. - Pipes between ponds (and between the creek and adjacent ponds) will be modeled as one pipe section. The pipe size will be the sizeof the upstream outlet and the slope will be the average slope of the total pipe length.
