| | | | | | | | Subject:
Approval of a MnDOT Local Road Improvement Program (LRIP) Grant Agreement. | | |
| | | | | | | | Policy/Action Requested:
Adopt Resolution R2023-029, a resolution approving a grant agreement with MnDOT for State Transportation Fund Local Road Improvement Program (LRIP) for the TH 169 pedestrian bridge project. | | |
| | | | | | | | Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution R2023-029. | | |
| | | | | | | | Discussion:
The 2022 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) included the TH 169 Pedestrian Bridge Project, PR-22-002. The project includes constructing new trail segments and a pedestrian bridge across TH 169 connecting Quarry Lake Park and the Southbridge neighborhood. The pedestrian bridge will eliminate a significant gap in the local and regional trail system between residential, educational and commercial areas south of TH 169 and employment and recreational destinations north of TH 169.
In 2021, the city was successful in obtaining State bonding funding to advance the project. Bids were recently received and the project was awarded to Lunda Construction. With award of the project, the city must now officially accept the State funding through a grant agreement. The grant agreement is attached. | | |
| | | | | | | | Budget Impact:
Based on bid award, the project is expected to cost $6,015,330.90. The city was awarded $2,000,000 from the state for construction of the bridge. The remaining project costs will be paid using State Aid funds and Capital Improvement funds. | | |
