The streets to be considered for this project are those contained in the south- west corner of the City. This area is bounded by County Road H2 to the north and Silver Lake Road to the east. Discussion: Preliminary Report - The first step in a public improvement process is the preparation of a preliminary engineering report. It is recommended that the preliminary report be ordered at this time to determine the need and feasibility, both physical and economic, of providing the necessary public improvements. Consultant Selection – There are several engineering consultants within the City’s “consultant pool” from whom services could be obtained. Council has previously selected the engineering firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik, and Associates (BRAA) to assist in the 2003 Street Improvement Project. Staff has interviewed this firm and confirmed that they are ready and capable to implement a project of this nature and serve the City’s needs. Staff recommends that the Council retain the services of the engineering firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik, and Associates (BRAA) to assist in the preparation of the preliminary engineering report and other aspects of this project, as directed by City Council.
