Elk REQUEST FOR ACTION <br />River <br />To Item Number <br />Ci Council 3.4. <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />Consent Febru 9, 2009 Lori ohnson, Ci Administrator <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />Authorization of Engineering Services by BDM Consulting <br />Engineers for Eligible Federal Stimulus Projects Reviewed by <br />Action Requested <br />Authorize BDM Consulting Engineers to proceed with engineering work for the Main Street overlay <br />project at a cost not to exceed $35,000 and the Main Street/highway 169 turn lane project at a cost not to <br />exceed $13,500 as outline in the attached memo from Terry Maurer. <br />Background/Discussion <br />City staff has identified several projects that may be eligible for federal stimulus money if it becomes <br />available. At this time it's unclear how much stimulus money, if any, will be available and what the <br />program timelines will be. It has been made clear, however, that in order to qualify the projects need to <br />be ready for construction within a very short time frame, meaning the engineering work needs to be <br />completed so the project is ready to bid. The two projects above have been identified as possible eligible <br />projects if the engineering work is started now. These projects are included in the City's capital <br />improvement plan and are scheduled to be City funded if stimulus money is not allocated to the City. <br />Financial Impact <br />The not to exceed cost for these two projects would be $48,500 with funding coming from the Street <br />Improvement Reserve. It is expected that if the projects qualify for stimulus money, the engineering costs <br />would be recaptured as part of the project cost. <br />Attachments <br />^ February 4, 2009, memo from Terry Maurer, Public Works Director <br />Action Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />S:\Council\Lori\2009\BDM engineering stimulus projects 02 09 09.doc <br />
