<br /> <br />City of Elk River <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date <br />En ineerin March 6, 2006 <br />Item Description <br />Waco Street and Dod e Avenue 1m rovements <br /> <br />Item Number <br /> <br /> <br />Introduction <br />Plans and specifications have been authorized on both the Waco Street and Dodge Avenue improvements. <br />Both of these sets of plans are now complete. <br /> <br />Discussion <br />The next step to keep these two projects moving forward would be to adopt a resolution approving the <br />plans and specifications and ordering the advertisement for bids. For bidding purposes, in order to have a <br />larger project, these two street improvements have been combined. The attached resolution establishes a <br />bid date of March 30, 2006. <br /> <br />The Dodge Avenue improvement is proposed to be partially assessed to the abutting properties; therefore, <br />two additional resolutions need to be considered by the City Council for this project. The first determines <br />the cost to be assessed and orders the preparation of an assessment roll. The second establishes the date <br />for the assessment hearing. The attached resolution suggests that the assessment hearing be held on April <br />3, 2006. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />With the Waco Street improvement, the developer's agreement for the Target Technology Center indicated <br />that they will pay for $250,000 or half the cost of the improvements, whichever is less. The remaining cost <br />would be funded by the City. <br /> <br />With the Dodge Avenue improvement, the feasibility study estimates that the City contribution after <br />approximately 40% is assessed, would be $168,000. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />.
