Resolution 7001, Approving the Plans and Specifications and <br />Authorizing the Advertisement for Bids and Setting a Bid Date for <br />the County Road 10 Trailway Project: Segments 9& 10 <br />Public Works Director Lee provided information to Council concerning the County Road 10 <br />Trail Project. He then noted that the plan includes pedestrian lighting and landscaping. <br />Council member Mueller asked whether the landscaping along the trail could be done by the <br />Scouts or by Public Works rather than the professional service. <br />Director Lee explained that the plantings are several acres in size and that would be very time <br />consuming and take Staff away from other essential tasks. <br />Council Member Mueller asked what the landscaping portion of the project is costing the City. <br />Director Lee explained that the Plans and Specifications were not broken out that way but then <br />listed the items that involved landscaping. • <br />The Council discussed a portion of a trail on the east side of Long Lake Road that needs to be <br />relocated to match up with the new trail on County Road 10. <br />Director Lee explained that Public Works is not geared to be in the landscaping business and <br />recommended that this be left to the professionals. <br />Council Member Flaherty said that he is concerned about the $250 for relocating a bench. <br />Director Lee said that the information listed is a cost estimate at this time and costs will be more <br />specific once the bids are received. He then said that Staff is trying to get the Met Council to <br />move their own bench and, if that is possible, that would be removed from the estimate. <br />Council Member Flaherty said that $1,600 is a lot of money for a garbage can and asked who is <br />supplying them. <br />Director Lee explained that the contractor will have to find their own supplier and noted that all <br />contractors will be bidding competitively. He also explained the type of trash enclosure the <br />specifications refers to. <br />Director Lee explained where the signage would be located. <br />• <br />
