BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Plans for the State Aid project extending 85th Street from Nashua Avenue west 1.5 miles and MacIver
Avenue north 0.5 miles have been completed.
Once the plans and specifications are approved by the City Council, they will be sent to District 3 State Aid
office for review of conformity to State Aid standards. We expect the review and any correction and State
Aid approval to take 4 to 6 weeks. Once State Aid has approved and signed them, the City can advertise for
bids. The timeline would then be to advertise for 3 weeks, open bids, and have those bids to the City
Council for review at either the April 23'd meeting or the May 14th meeting.
We expect to have the 90 day quick take process completed around mid-May allowing the contractor to
access all the properties necessary to complete the project.
The plans and specification include an alternate of extending trunk sewer forcemain and trunk watermain
along the western most extents of the project. City staff recommends going through the bidding process
with the utilities extension being an alternate item. The City Council would then determine whether to
move forward with the extension of utilities based on actual bid prices.
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS ATTACHED:
0 Plans and Specifications (Will be provided at the meeting due to extensive size).
