Walsh, Parks & Recreation Director LS <br /> SUBJECT: Acceptance of DNR Cooperative Trails Grant for Trail Development <br />I Background <br />I As you are aware, the City of Arden Hills applied for a Cooperative Trails Grant from the <br /> Minnesota DNR to partially fund the trail development from Trunk Highway 96 south to <br /> Briarknoll Drive and west to North Snelling Avenue. Pursuant to Resolution 96-20, the Council <br />I awarded the base bid contract for trail development to Thor Construction, Inc. with alternates A <br /> and B to be added, if the City was awarded the grant. <br />I I have recently been notified that the City has been awarded a grant for the amount of$45,191.50 <br /> for the partial funding of this trail development. <br />I. Timelincs <br /> If the City Council accepts the grant, construction could occur after the grant contract is <br /> finalized. From my conversations with the DNR, it appears that the process could be finalized by <br />I July 8, 1996. The grant does specify that the entire project can be completed during a two year <br /> time frame. However, funds for the trail have to be expended and construction must be <br />I completed by November 1, 1997. <br /> Thus, the priority segment and alternates could be completed in 1996. The remaining segment <br />I from Arden Vista Court north to Trunk Highway 96 would be bid and work completed in 1997. <br /> Cost Estimates <br />I 1996 construction per bid prices <br /> $37,385.53 (base bid) priority segment <br /> $15,159.57 Alternate A <br />I $14.375.25 Alternate B <br /> $66,920.35 Total <br />I 1997 Construction Estimate from MSA <br /> $38,000 <br />I Total construction costs are estimated to be <br /> $105,420.35 <br />Ie <br />I <br /> I <br />
