County Road E Pedestrian Sidewalk Improvemcnts January 19, 2005 Page 2 . D) Proceed with south sidewalk along bridge to Old Highway 10 using State Aid funds for construction ($190,000) and local funds for engineering/inspection ($60,000). Construction in late 2005. This option will require a new resolution by Council. E) Proceed with south sidewalk along bridge only using State Aid funds for construction ($130,000) and local funds for engineering/inspection ($40,000). Construction in late 2005. This option will require a new resolution by Council. Funding Discussion The current State Aid balance is approximately $425,000 however, the 2005 PMP project is progranmJed to tap into State Aid funds ($175,000 in CIP) as well as the Ramsey County Lexington Avenue project ($185,000 in CIP). The final arnount of State Aid funding allocated for the 2005 PMP will depend upon decisions made by the Council regarding project scope. The actual amount of state aid funds needed for Lexington Avenue will depend upon the cost of property acquisition underway by Rarnsey County; although, the Council's past decision to construct a sidewalk in lieu of an 8 foot trail should reduce the ROW acquisition costs significantly compared to the budget cost in the CIP. Schedule Discussion As noted above, in order to complete construction in 2005, the Council will need to authorize . staff and the Engineer to proceed with design within the next 2-3 weeks. . Final Design Period - February - April 2005 . Bid Opening - June, 2005 . Begin Construction - August, 2005 .
