They include: <br /> Street Light Detection Devices/Equipment $105,748 <br /> E.V.P. Vehicle Emitters 5,000 <br /> $110,748 <br /> Engineering Costs 8,000 <br /> Proposed Costs $118,748 <br /> Less: Removal of Kennzie Terrace/Lowry Avenue ($ 36,862) <br /> City of Roseville - Highway 88/29` Avenue '2 600 <br /> Net Estimated Costs $ 79,286 <br /> Assuming that the bids will be equal to or lower than the estimated costs tabulated by <br /> Short, Elliott and Hendrickson, additional funding is necessary to complete the project. <br /> Included in the 12/31/99 year end fund balance is $100,143 in capital equipment <br /> contract reserves which were.derived from the profits of the Lauderdale/Falcon Heights <br /> police contracts. As part of the 2000 capital equipment funding, $33,300 was <br /> designated to purchase squad cars and related equipment, leaving a balance of$66,843 <br /> for discretionary use. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Council approve an additional appropriation of$14,500 towards the purchase and <br /> installation of the E.V.P. system. Total funding approval would total $79,500 <br /> ($65,000 plus $14,500). <br />
