n April 20* 1993 Mr,, Brad Larson Technical Advisory Co=itt s Metropolitan Council Mears Park Centre Building 230 rest Fifth Street St. Paul, HN 55101 RE: ROSM LLE PATHWAY PRcTEcT,, COUNTY ROAD C m Dear Kr o Larson t As you are aware, the City of Roseville was recently notified by the Net Council that our pathway pro* ect was selected for 1 'SEA enhancement funds-aweligibility in the amount of approximately S459-000 # The eligible dollars are to be used for construction costs with an additional 0% matched by the City. The cost of design and ROW acquisition are being borne by the City of Roseville# Total City of Roseville contributions are expected to exceed 930a-v()D"0Q§ - a The City has selected a consultant and we are proceeding quickly with the necessary submittals in accordance with the State Aid project development guidelines dated January 11, 1993. The City is very excited about this project and would like to ensure its success; however, as the attached schedule demonstrates, timing of each of the major project phases is critical. The Roseville City Council and staff are very concerned that potential short -term delays in the schedule may jeopardize this p rod pct funding e1 igihi 1 its s with e substantial investment of Roseville financing pup front "t we w ould like assurances that minor scheduling shifts Will not affect the federal funds designated for the pro ecte Our understanding of the current guidelines for "significant progress" on this project suggests that the City of Roseville - must have advanced the project to a bid letting date before the and of the 1993 calendar year. Is this correct? We have discussed with Carl Ohre the Question "If the City should need an additional 60 -90 days for bid letting in 1994, can this be 'granted? What does the City need to do to demonstrate "significant progress" and ensure loss of eligibility ?"
