* Request for Council Action Conrinued page 2 of 2 September 19, 1996 Bid Award - Old Crystal Bay Road Trail 4. 5. either reach a settlement or to obtain a right-of-entry to do the work while negotiations and the condemnation process proceed. Mn/DOT Limited Use Permit. Because the trail project involves the operation of a trail within Mn/DOT right-of-way (crossing Highway 12) Mn/DOT requires the city to obtain a limited use permit for the trail. The permit is attached. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends the bid for both trail segments be awarded to the low bidder, Buffalo Bituminous, Inc., in the amount of $164,136, with Alternate 0\, which is a reduction of up to $1,(XX) for work done in 1997; and that the Council set a limit on the maximum amount to be expended in 1996. Staff will then construct as much of the trail as possible within the maximum expenditure limit, with the priority being to complete the segment south of the railroad tracks. If it is not possible to construct the segment south of the railroad tracks in ’96 due to the lack of easements, staff will begin on the north side of the railroad track and construct a trail as far north as possible within the maximum expenditure amount authorized. Staff recommends that if the segment south of the railroad track is to be constructed it should be constructed all at the same time. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED A. Motion to award the bid for the Old Crystal Bay Road Trail Improvements to the low bidder, Buffalo Bituminous, Inc. in the base bid amount of $164,136 and to accept Alternate #1, a reduction of up $1,(XX) for delaying a portion of the work until 1997. B. Motion to indicate the maximum amount to be expended in 1996 for the Old Crystal Bay Road Trail construction. C.
