<br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />March 30, 2006 <br /> <br />File: 226-074D <br /> <br />Mr. Brent Orr <br />Director of Schools and Operations <br />Elk River Area School District # 728 <br />815 Highway 10 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: smOOL S1REET/HIGH smOOL DRIVEWAY SIGNAIlZATION <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Orr: <br /> <br />As you are aware, the Gty of Elk River has proceeded with the design and bidding of a <br />traffic signal to be located at the intersection of ,School Street, Lions Park Drive, and the <br />High School parking lot driveway. The Gty Council has proceeded based on the School <br />District's commitment to fund one-half of the total project cost. Bids were opened last <br />Tuesday, and the low bid was received from Design Electrical Contractors in the amount of <br />$147,077. Typical overhead on Gtyprojects is estimated at 28 percent. Since this project <br />does not include some of the typical overhead items, we are lowering that estimate to 20 <br />percent, making the total project cost estimated $176,492.40. Based on a commitment to <br />fund half of this project cost, the School District's share would be $88,246.20. <br /> <br />It is my understanding that the School Board has already committed to this funding and that <br />you have had discussions with Lori Johnson, Gty Administrator, regarding the method of <br />payment. Therefore, this letter is intended to provide you specific information now that the <br />project has been bid. We are intending to present the contract to the GtyCouncil for award <br />and execution at their April 17, 2006 meeting. Should you have any concerns regarding the <br />School District's share or method of payment for this project, please contact LoriJohnson <br />or myself before the Gty Council meeting on the 17th. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~PJ7!~ <br /> <br />Terry J. Maurer, PE <br />Gty Engineer <br /> <br />cc: Lori Johnson, Gty Administrator <br /> <br />Phone: 763.635.1000 <br />Fax: 763.635.1090 <br />. lk .
