He noted the City received five bids 10 for this project and the low bid was submitted by Northwest Asphalt. He explained the new trail 11 segments would be 10 feet wide and would include lighting. Staff recommended Alternates #1 12 and #2 not be awarded. 13 14 Council Member Meehlhause asked if there were any other sections of the trail along CSAH 10 15 that did not have lighting. Public Works Director Erickson reported all of the existing trail 16 segments had lighting. 17 18 Council Member Meehlhause understood that if lighting was pursued there may be a private 19 property issue or easement concern. Public Works Director Erickson stated this was the case. 20 21 Council Member Meehlhause supported the City spending an additional $89,000 to light the trail 22 segments. He understood the City would have a $16,000 shortfall and believed this could be 23 covered by the Special Projects Fund.
