Resolution declared adopted. <br />AUTHORIZE The City Administrator reviewed the report dated May 18, 2006 <br />BIDS TOR wherein the Parks & Recreation Department and the Parks & Recreation <br />PARK Commission are recommending the advertisement for bids for two <br />IMPROVEMENTS parks projects. The first project is the power line trail connection to <br />Walter Street in Maplewood. Estimated cost of the project to Little <br />Canada is $85,000 and to Maplewood is $57,000, based on the differing <br />lengths of trail in each City. The Parks Consultant is proposing Co bid <br />both cities' trail segments as one project, with each city paying its <br />proportionate share. Therefore, it may be necessary to have a Joint <br />Powers Agreement with Maplewood for the management of Yhis project. <br />The second project is the addition of walking path and a wildlife viewing <br />platform in Nadeau Park. Estimated cost of this project is $51,000. <br />The City Administrator indicated that based on Che very limited dollars <br />budgeted for these two projects, there maybe an additional $127,500 in <br />funding needed. The Administrator indicated that these funds could come <br />from the Infrastructure Fund. <br />The City Administrator recommended that the Council authorized the <br />advertisement for bids for these projects. Once bids are obtained, a full <br />recommendation will be presented to the Council including funding <br />sources for these improvements. <br />Montour asked if Chese improvements could be bid with the City's street <br />work. The City Administrator reported that given the differences in park <br />trail work and street work, it is difficult to get an economy of scale by <br />bidding the two together. <br />Mr. LaValle introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO.2006-5-I27 -AUTHORIZING THE <br />ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR THE POWER LINE TRAIL <br />CONNECTION TO WALTER STREET IN MAPLEWOOD AS WELL <br />AS THE NADEAU WILDLIFE AREA SIDEWALK AND OVERLOOK <br />13 <br />
