ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT?
Yes
IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
In light of the issues regarding an outlet to the 70th St pond located on an easement within Valerius
Meadows, City staff has looked at alternative options. Three options appear viable but two need
further investigation before proceeding.
Option 1
A new option not considered before is removing the clay barrier to the more pervious glacial till. This
option would allow storm water to drain through a layer of gravel and into the glacial till, essentially an
infiltration basin. This option requires soils boring to determine the depth to glacial till. During design
of 70th street, soil borings were obtained to a depth of 16'. None of these encountered the sandy gravel
of the glacial till. During CSAH 37 and roundabout design, soil borings were obtained to a depth of 25'.
Sandy gravel was encountered at a depth varying from 15' to 25' deep. If the glacial till can be found
close enough to the bottom of the pond and water table is not a limiting factor, a volume of clay can be
removed and replaced with pit run creating an infiltration basin at a reasonable cost.
Option 2
A second new option would be considered if the glacial till is found too deep as to cause option 1 to not
be economically feasible. In this option, a 2' diameter casing would be connected to the infiltration
drain tile which rings the pond. This would allow filtered water to enter the casing and flow down to the
glacial till. This would require approval of the MPCA as it would be considered a CL V injection well, but
being that the water is pre -filtered a permit might be approved.
We have reviewed several private wells suppling potable water to nearby homes and all are in an
aquifer well below the glacial till. The glacial till and this sandstone aquifer are separated by a clay layer
and a confining rock layer.
For both option 1 and option 2, no agreement with downstream property owners would be necessary.
Any storm water ponding outside of the City pond would be the responsibility of the property owner. A
quote from a Geotechnical firm has been obtained and is attached. The cost is $2,585 for a 30' deep
soils boring and $18/1-F after that. A short report detailing soils types will be included. Therefore, worst
case scenario, a 60' soils boring would cost $3,125. The Geotechnical firm will be instructed to bore
until glacial till is encountered to a max of 60' deep. Due to the CSAH 37 soils borings, we are confident
glacial till will be encountered prior to 60' depth.
If either option 1 or 2 are deemed acceptable alternatives after the soils boring results are obtained, a
cost estimate will be brought forth for the council to approve at a later meeting.
Option 3
Option 3 is the option discussed at the last meeting. Basically, it is to replace existing draintile from the
pond to a connection node in the field 1285' to the south and east. If lack of downstream tile
maintenance is an issue, a restrictor plate could be installed at the inlet of the new draintile to restrict
outflow to a point acceptable to downstream landowners until such time they improve the condition of
the downstream tile system.
A quote for cost of the work was secured from the contractor and is $19,734.

RE: Proposal for Geotechnical Services
70th Street Pond Evaluation
Otsego, Minnesota
NTI Proposal P6326
Unearthing confidence -
We are pleased to submit our proposal to perform Geotechnical Services for the above referenced project. The
purpose of this study is to collect representative soil samples, analyze the subsurface soil and groundwater
conditions and to furnish a detailed geotechnical engineering report with appropriate design and construction
recommendations for the project.
The project consists of evaluating the soils adjacent to an existing Stormwater Infiltration Pond that is located at
70th Street in Otsego, Minnesota. It is our understanding that the existing pond may be redesigned to allow for
increased infiltration.
SCOPE OF WORK
The following is our proposed work scope based on the request for proposal provided by Hakanson Anderson.
NTI will mark the proposed probe location. We will make you aware of these field activities before proceeding
to the site to allow you the option to notify any pertinent parties prior to NTI's field work. We understand that
the time of our fieldwork, the adjacent existing pond will be drained.
NTI will contact the Minnesota "One -Call" system for clearance of public utilities within the area of the soil
probe. NTI assumes that a representative of the owner will locate any existing private utilities that may be on -
site. If the owner is unwilling or unable to locate the private utilities, NTI can provide a private locator. The cost
of the locator would be a reimbursable expense and is not included within the fee indicated below. The total
fee associated with the private locate services is based upon an hourly unit rate but typically ranges from $200
to $300 for a project of this scale.
NTI will then mobilize a truck mounted Geoprobe rig to the site to perform one (1) direct push probe advanced
to a proposed depth of approximately 30 feet below the existing ground surface near the existing pond.

70`h Street Pond Evaluation
Otsego, Minnesota
The total lineal feet of drilling proposed at this time is approximately 30 feet. The probe may be terminated
early if soil/bedrock conditions resulting in practical auger refusal are encountered prior to the proposed
termination depth.
If suitable infiltration soils are not encountered within the 30 foot deep probe, we will contact the client. If
authorized, we will continue drilling to a reasonable depth when suitable soils are observed. This field
exploration program will take approximately 1 day to complete.
To assist in ascertaining an estimated seasonal high groundwater level we will install a temporary standpipe.
A geotechnical engineer will visually classify field -collected samples in general accordance with ASTM D 2488.
Each soil sample's color, relative moisture, and will be documented on soil probe log.
NTI has assumed that there is reasonable access to the proposed borehole location. This would include slopes
suitable for traversing with a Geoprobe drill rig, safe working distances from utilities, removal of site
obstructions that prohibit access to the proposed borehole location, etc. In addition, drill rig access to the
proposed probe location may result in cracking of on -site pavements or sidewalks and rutting of site soils. NTI
will take reasonable precautions to prevent such damage but repair and final restoration shall be performed by
others at no charge to NTI.
We will measure for the presence of groundwater or lack thereof when we complete the soil probe. We will
backfill the soil probe with soil cuttings or high solids bentonite grout to comply with current Minnesota
Department of Health Regulations.
We will perform laboratory tests on selected soil samples, this may include:
1. Plastic/liquid limit tests on cohesive soils.
2. Moisture tests.
3. Gradations.
Upon completion of the field and laboratory work, a geotechnical engineering report will be prepared. The
report will include the probe log, a Probe Location Diagram and the results of the field and laboratory tests. In
addition, the report will include our engineering opinions and recommendations regarding:
1. Site preparation and excavation recommendations.
2. Anticipation and management of groundwater for design and construction.
3. Potential construction difficulties regarding excavation and backfill.
4. Stormwater infiltration rates based upon soil type correlation with the Minnesota Stormwater Manual.
NTI's engineers are also available to provide geotechnical guidance to the design team, evaluate value
engineered alternatives, review earthwork, groundwater control, and other civil plans and specifications as an
additional service. NTI's engineers, special inspectors and technicians are available to provide construction and
materials testing services once the project construction begins. This provides professional continuity of services
throughout the design and construction of the project.

DELIVERABLES
NTI will provide two (2) paper copies and a PDF of the final report to the client.
COST
We will perform the base geotechnical exploration and report described above for a fixed fee of $2,585.
Reading the water level in the standpipe will be performed for an additional fee of $150 per site visit requested
by the client. The first reading is included in the base price shown above. If additional drilling footage on a
started probe is required to reach suitable native soils we will invoice at a rate of $18/foot.
SCHEDULE
Upon receiving authorization to proceed, the field work will typically begin in approximately 7 to 10 business
days and will take approximately 1 day to complete. The report will be issued to you within 5 to 10 business
days of completion of the field work. Probe logs and verbal information regarding our findings can be provided
within 2 to 3 days after the field work has been completed.
