This variance is necessary to receive State Aid funding for the 2009 Street Reconstruction <br />Project. <br />Minnesota State Aid Rule 8820.2800 Subpart 2A states that approval from the Minnesota Department of <br />Transportation Office of State Aid must be received prior to the contract bid opening. As you may recall the <br />City of St. Anthony Village obtained two variances from State Aid for horizontal curves along Foss Road. <br />Although prior to the contract bid opening the variance committee unanimously approved the variance <br />request for the curves along Foss Road, the official letter granting approval was dated one week following <br />the contract bid opening date. Therefore, Mn/DOT's Office of State Aid is requesting the City Council pass <br />a resolution authorizing a variance to State Aid rule 8820.2800, 2A for administrative purposes to receive <br />State Aid funds for the work completed. <br />I will be present at your May 10, 2011 Council meeting to answer any questions you may have on this issue, <br />or please call me at 763-287-7182. <br />Sincerely, <br />WSB & Associates, Inc. <br />Todd E.
