All owners have been cooperative. It is anticipated that all easements, both <br />permanent and temporary, will be successfully obtained and at no direct cost to the City. <br />Sketches and descriptions of the easements have also been prepared for each <br />property. Copies of the sketches are included with this Staff Report for reference. The <br />City Attorney is currently working to prepare the easement agreements for the <br />properties. <br />Advertise for Bids <br />As per state statute, with an estimated contract amount in excess of $100,000, the <br />project must be advertised for competitive bidding of the construction contract. <br />Due to the use of federal funds on the project, the bid date is scheduled by the MnDOT <br />Federal Aid office after they have approved the plans and specifications. <br />Along with approval of the construction plans, Staff is seeking authorization from the <br />City Council to advertise for bids. Since the exact date of the bid is not yet known, the <br />authorization would be contingent upon receiving the bid date from MnDOT.
