<br /> <br />City of Elk River <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date <br />Administration une 5, 2006 <br />Item Description <br />U date on Rivers Ed e Commons <br /> <br />Item Number <br />5.6 <br /> <br />Prepared by <br />Bill Maertz, Parks and Recreation <br />Reviewed by <br /> <br />Introduction <br />Update on Rivers Edge Commons <br /> <br />Discussion <br />The low bid for Rivers Edge Commons was substantially over the cost estimate. Staff and consultants <br />have been looking at ways to reduce costs while at the same time retaining the integrity of the original <br />concept. A revised plan (attached) reduces the width of the park by retaining the existing ally, and uses <br />limestone blocks for seating instead of poured in place concrete. This plan retains the high-end feel of the <br />street level plaza. <br /> <br />Changes in the plan will necessitate this project to be re-bid. Cost estimates are currently being prepared <br />and staff will return to Council for authorization to bid. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />Unknown at this time <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />Revised plan <br />Image of limestone seating <br /> <br />Action Requested <br /> <br />Staff requests Council feedback regarding revised plan. <br /> <br />Council Action <br /> <br />Motion by _ <br /> <br />Second by _ <br /> <br />Vote <br /> <br />Follow Up <br /> <br />C: \Documents and Settings \ tallard\Local Settings \ Temporary Internet Files \ OLKF\5 6 Rivers Edge Commons.doc <br />
