<br />. <br /> <br /> <br />Howard R, 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 LAND ACQUISITON <br />EAST ELK RIVER <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Klaers: <br /> <br />Attached is the agreement that Mn/DOT has prepared to allow the City to spend federal money <br />for right-of-way/land acquisition on the East Elk River project. In reviewing this agreement we <br />have noted a few typographical errors which we have referred back to Mn/DOT. They are <br />currently working on revising the agreement. However, the typographical errors do not change <br />the intent of the agreement so I am presenting them to you for City Council action. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The agreement estimates that the City will expend up to $700,000 on right-of-way acquisition. I <br />believe this is in line with the costs Evergreen Land Services have estimated for the Brown <br />property together with the negotiated values on the other three properties. 80% of the estimated <br />$700,000 is eligible for federal reimbursement. The City would pay 20%. The City may request <br />reimbursement once they have expended the dollars to acquire the land. The agreement states <br />that until the project goes through a final audit only 95% of payment requests will be released <br />with the other 5% being retained by Mn/DOT. The agreement states that I am the City's <br />authorized representative for these issues. <br /> <br />Based on my review, I would recommend City Council approval of this document and <br />authorization for the Mayor and the City Administrator to execute it once Mn/DOT has corrected <br />the typographical errors. If you have any questions regarding this document please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Howard R. Green Company <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br />Terry J.
