AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends the City Council approve plans and specifications and authorize staff to seek quotes.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
No No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Plans and specifications have been prepared for signal improvements at the ramps of TH101 and County
State Aid Highways 36, 38, and 42 by installing flashing left hand turn signals. The latest construction cost
estimate of $125,000 was significantly less than the original estimate allowing the City to obtain quotes
rather than advertise for bids. Staff proposes to send a request for quotes to multiple qualified local
contractors with a quote opening of August 9. City Council consideration on award of contract would be
August 22. Project completion is set for November 15, 2022.
The project is to be completed in 2022 and funding from MnDOT and Wright County will be available for
reimbursement to the City in July of 2023.
The Public Works Subcommittee reviewed this information at their July 20 meeting and recommended
consent agenda consideration at an upcoming City Council meeting.
