The project is <br />tentatively scheduled for bid letting in September of this year. <br />The total cost of the project is estimated at $22 million including construction and right - <br />of -way acquisition. The project is proposed to be funded by federal, county and local <br />sources. The city and county have previously received $980,000 in federal High Priority <br />Project (HPP) funding for preliminary and final design. Approximately $5.8 million in <br />federal dollars was previously awarded as part of the State Transportation Improvement <br />Program (STIP). Additionally, the Metropolitan Council's Transportation Advisory Board <br />(TAB) has recommended award of approximately $4.8 million in federal stimulus <br />funding to the project. The anticipated County /City share of the project is approximately <br />$9.2 million dollars. City staff is working with Anoka County to determine the final cost <br />split, however our previous estimates have been approximately $6 million. <br />The city's share of the project is proposed to be funded primarily through special <br />assessments to benefiting properties along the I -35E corridor. The preparation of a <br />report on improvements is both a statutory and charter requirement for projects where <br />the costs are proposed to be assessed against the benefiting properties. <br />The city has received a proposal from SRF Consulting Group to complete the report. <br />SRF is the design engineer for the project and previously completed a transportation <br />cost allocation study for the city. SRF is proposing to prepare the report for an <br />estimated cost of $23,000. <br />Project Timeline <br />To meet both Charter requirements and State Law requirements for specially assessed <br />improvement projects, and meet the proposed bid letting, the process schedule is <br />
