<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Pat Klaers <br />June 23, 1999 <br />Page Two <br /> <br />3. CSAH 12 Reconstruction <br /> <br />This project is an undertaking by Sherburne County to upgrade CSAH 12 from CSAH 13 <br />to the east City limits. As you are aware, we prepared the plans and specifications for <br />this project. These plans and specifications were complete some time ago. Right now <br />the County is actively pursuing land acquisition necessary to upgrade the road. This <br />project also has federal dollars involved in it. The federal paperwork was just recently <br />approved by MnDOT. Given that some of the land acquisition issues will undoubtedly <br />require condemnation proceedings, I believe that the project will not be let until late fall <br />with the majority of the construction taking place in calendar year 2000. <br /> <br />It is important to note that as this project proceeds along with our Tyler Street project, it <br />will be important to coordinate the two projects in an attempt to minimize disruptions and <br />detours for the eastern part of the City of Elk River. <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br />Trunk Highway 169 Pedestrian Bridge <br /> <br />This project again is federally funded. The plans and specifications have recently been <br />approved by MnDOT and an August 3, 1999, bid date has been set. Because of the <br />federal dollars involved in the project, MnDOT will be responsible for bidding the project <br />and awarding the contract. Bids will be opened at City Hall, the City Council will be <br />asked to pass a resolution, recommending to MnDOT, award of the contract to the <br />lowest responsible bidder. We anticipated it will take MnDOT approximately 30 days to <br />do the necessary contract paperwork to award this project. Therefore, the project will <br />begin construction sometime in early September and be built through the October - <br />November timeframe. <br /> <br />5. <br /> <br />School Street Improvement <br /> <br />This project consists of the widening of School Street to four lanes from just east of <br />Jackson Avenue to Proctor Avenue. It also includes construction of a six-foot wide <br />concrete sidewalk along the entire south side of School Street. The project was started <br />the week of June 14. Thus far the contractor has subcut for widening and is currently <br />moving hydrants and catchbasins. It is a relatively small project and should be easily <br />completed before the fall school session begins. <br /> <br />6. Trunk Highway 10/171st Avenue Signalization Improvement <br /> <br />This project is under construction. Currently, the Contractor has placed the bases and <br />the wiring for the new signal system. The minor geometric improvements are being <br />constructed. These include closing one of the driveways at Houle Oil Company and <br />constructing a concrete median on 171 st Avenue. Anticipated completion date for the <br />signal is the first part of July. <br /> <br />O:\PROJ\230000M\OOO-2302.june99.doc <br /> <br />Howard R. Green Company <br />CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br />
