Res. 8023, Auth. Stantec to Perform Final Design for Co. Road H Sidewalk Project <br />Page 2 <br />increase this participation to 50%, however, the Ramsey County Commissioners have not approved <br />this proposal to date. <br /> <br />Mn/DOT may also provide funding for the sidewalk improvements through a Safe Routes to School <br />Program grant. This competitive grant is focused on improving safety conditions and the quality of <br />bicycling and walking routes to school. These grants provide 100% federal funding for <br />infrastructure projects located within two miles of a school with students in grades K-8 ranging in <br />cost from $100,000 to $300,000. Since Sunnyside Elementary and Edgewood Middle School are <br />both adjacent to the sidewalk and the latest estimated construction cost estimate is approximately <br />$229,000, this project appears to have a good shot at obtaining monies from this grant source. <br />Grant applications are due February 15, 2013. <br /> <br />Public Works solicited Stantec to provide a proposal to perform final design and prepare bidding <br />documents for this proposed sidewalk in the north boulevard of County Road H between Silver <br />Lake Road and Edgewood Drive. Stantec has provided a proposal fee of $28,000 to perform <br />professional services associated with this phase. Preliminary design work already done will be <br />used and further developed into final design. Compensation will be based upon actual hours <br />worked plus reimbursable expenses for a maximum estimated fee of $30,000. The 2012 budget <br />and proposed 2013 budget each include $104,000 under the Special Projects fund for the pathway <br />construction program. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing Stantec to <br />perform final design and prepare bidding documents for a proposed sidewalk in the north boulevard <br />of County Road H between Silver Lake Road and Edgewood Drive. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Nick DeBar - Public Works Director <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />• Resolution 8023 <br />• Proposed Sidewalk Layout Map <br />• Typical Section
