BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The City of Otsego maintains over 43 miles of trails. Each year staff evaluates all City trails and rates each trail using a
modified version of the PCI index. Funding for this maintenance comes from Fund 202 – Trail Management.
Identified sections of trails and Parks are receiving routine maintenance, this follows best maintenance practices for
bituminous trail and park management. All the sections of trail receiving maintenance are highlighted on the attached
maps.
There is a section on Maciver Avenue which will be a new maintenance method conducted to mitigate willows popping
through the trail. It involves removing the affected section of bituminous, replacing the base, and paving a new section of
trail. A weed barrier will be trenched in the side next to the storm water pond that deters the willows from growing into
the trail. If successful it will be implemented across other similar trail sections in the City in future years.
City Staff requested quotes from five contractors and received three quotes ranging from $63,161.74 to $105,320. MP
Asphalt submitted the lowest quote for the scope of work at $63,161.74 which is within the 2024 budgeted amount of
