Green Company <br />CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br />June 7, 1999 <br />File: 800110j-0601 <br /> <br />Mr. Pat Klaers <br />City Administrator <br />City of Elk River <br />P.O. Box 490 <br />Elk River, Minnesota 55330 <br /> <br />RE: MN/DOT AGREEMENT FOR RAILROAD CROSSING <br />EAST ELK RIVER <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Klaers: <br /> <br />Attached is a copy of the agreement Mn/DOT has prepared to allow the City to expend federal <br />dollars on the new railroad crossing at 171 sl Avenue. We have reviewed this agreement and <br />noted a couple of typographical errors. We have submitted these comments back to Mn/DOT <br />and they are currently revising the agreement. However the typographical errors do not change <br />the intent of the agreement. Therefore we are presenting it to you for City Council action. <br /> <br />The agreement allows the City to spend up to $398,615 on the railroad crossing. This is the <br />amount noted in the Construction and Maintenance Agreement with Burlington Northern/Santa <br />Fe Railroad Company dated January 21, 1999. If in fact the costs exceed that, the City will <br />simply have to request a supplement to this agreement. 80% of that amount is federally <br />fundable with the remaining 20% to be paid by the City. The agreement allows the City to <br />request reimbursement after the costs have been expended. The agreement goes on to state <br />that each pay request will be 95% funded with the last 5% being retained by Mn/DOT until the <br />completion of the final audit. The agreement states that I will be the City's authorized <br />representative for purposes of this agreement <br /> <br />Based on our review, we would recommend approval by the City Council and authorization for <br />the Mayor and the City Administrator to execute the agreement once Mn/DOT provides the <br />revised agreements. If you have any questions regarding this agreement please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Howard R.
