contractors on publicly bid projects of a similar size and nature, with the average unit <br />cost used for estimation. <br /> <br />2. What assurances are there that the costs listed are reasonable? <br /> <br /> Estimated costs were developed by using a database that includes numerous projects <br />similar in nature, size and extent of work as the proposed project. The database includes <br />bids received for similar projects and costs received from 2023 and 2024. Some site <br />furnishing items and the fishing pier included obtaining quotes directly from the <br />manufacturer. <br /> <br />3. Describe any project elements or costs that will improve site resiliency and facility <br />longevity, if any. <br /> <br />The design profile for the parking lot and trails will allow for pavements and surfaces <br />that have a longer lifespan and will reduce the level of ongoing required maintenance <br />and replacement costs. The aggregate trails include a material size that is known to pack <br />down for a more uniform and level surface while still maintaining a natural feel to blend <br />with the natural characteristics of the site. <br /> <br />4. What is the anticipated life span of the facilities that will be funded as part of this <br />project? What are the estimated annual maintenance costs? <br /> <br />Lifespans for site furnishings are approximately 15-20 years. The concrete pavements <br />are estimated to last 20-30 years with proper maintenance. The bituminous pavements <br />are expected to have a chip or fog seal approximately every 3 years; at roughly 20-25 <br />years, it would then need a mill and overlay or full depth replacement. <br /> <br />5. What is your recent experience completing similar projects with state or federal grant <br />funding? <br /> <br />The City of Hugo has received grants from the MN DNR, the Metropolitan Council, and <br />other state agencies. The proposed construction of park amenities will take place on <br />land purchased with assistance from the MN DNR Natural and Scenic Area Grant. <br /> <br /> <br />
