Generally, the parameters of the agreement <br />will be as discussed previously with the City Council and negotiated in the City/County <br />Transportation Committee consisting of two County Commissioners, two City Council <br />members, and City and County staff. The framework of the agreement will be as follows: <br /> <br />. Sherburne County will be responsible for preparing the turnback agreement; the City of <br />Elk River will review it. The only other responsibility Sherburne County will have will <br />be to pay their share of the project cost. <br />. The City of Elk River will take the lead in the preparation of plans and specifications and <br />construction of the improvements to County Road 40. <br />. The City of Elk River will take the lead in all necessary Federal paperwork required for <br />the $719,000 Federal Grant associated with County Road 40. <br />. The Federal dollars will be pro-rated over all eligible expenses from curb-to-curb with <br />the remaining cost being allocated to the City of Elk River and Sherburne County based <br />on the current Sherburne County cost participation policy. <br />. Based on a cost estimate for the street and storm drainage construction prepared by the <br />City and approved by Sherburne County, Elk River's cost is estimated to be <br />approximately $950,000 including land acquisition. Sherburne County's cost <br />participation is estimated at $1,170,000. <br />. The agreement will have a provision that will require Sherburne County to pay a large <br />portion of their share, once a bid is received and the contract is awarded by the City of <br />Elk River. Sherburne County will have the right to approve the contractor before the <br />award is made by the City of Elk River. <br />Phone: 763.635.1000 <br />Fax: 763.635.1090 <br /> <br />www.cLelk-river.mn.us <br />
