<br />~ <br /> <br /> <br />~ <br />EN HILLS <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />August 20, 2007 <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM 2.B. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br />Michelle Wolfe, City Administrator <br /> <br />Greg Hoag, Public Works Director ..2kz\- <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />County Road H Project Update <br /> <br />The County Road H project is progressing as planned. Staff attends monthly Project <br />Management Team (PMT) meetings to review and work on outstanding issues. Attached to this <br />memo are the minutes from the August 2, 2007 PMT meeting. This project is in the preliminary <br />design phase. As the design progresses, modifIcations are anticipated as issues are identifIed. The <br />most recent issues identifIed are wetland issues related to the project. Staff from SEH and <br />Mn/DOT will be present at the meeting to discuss the current plans for the project. <br /> <br />The solicitation period for the Mn/DOT Cooperative Agreement Program has begun. The <br />solicitation period is shorter than in past years. Applications are due on September 14, 2007. This <br />program allows for a Mn/DOT contribution of$550,000 per project plus 8 percent for <br />construction engineering. This solicitation is for the 2009 fIscal year, which runs from July 2008 <br />to June 2009. This timeline aligns well with the proposed construction bid letting for this project. <br />If awarded, it is my understanding that this $550,000 could be used as part of the matching funds <br />for the federal earmark being pursued. <br /> <br />This funding request would need to be submitted by the City. RRLD has authorized SEH to <br />prepare the application on behalf of the City. If Council is interested in pursuing this funding, <br />staff will prepare a resolution supporting the project and present it at the August 27, 2007 regular <br />City Council meeting. <br />
