Request for Council Action continued <br />page 2 of 2 <br />May 18, 1995 <br />Old Crystal Bay Road Bike Trail <br />The City Engineer has recommended that, because the amount of work to be done in 1995 is <br />now relatively small, it would be more cost effective to construct the trail using a combination <br />of city staff and private construction contractors than to rebid all of the work on this much <br />smaller project. <br />The City Engineer is currently in discussions with the low bidder on the project to determine <br />if he is still interested maintaining his unit prices for the base and bituminous work for the <br />substantially reduced scope of work. If he is interested. Council will be asked to award the bid, <br />but with the reduced scope of work. If not, the Council will be asked to reject all bids, and new <br />bids will be taken tor this work. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />It is staffs recommendation that in order to complete two key segments of the bike trail, and <br />to obtain up to $29,000 of matching trail grant funds, the trail segment from the Dickey property <br />subdivision to the Luce Line and from Highway 12 north to the school property be constructed <br />in 1995. The cost of this construction is estimated at $80,000. This cost amount is <br />recommended to be funded by $29,000 of trail grant funds and $51,000 from the Park <br />Dedication Fund. <br />A resolution is attached approving partial funding of the trail through the Cooperative Trail <br />Grant funds. This resolution is needed as part of the grant application. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to approve the construction of the Old Crystal Bay Road Bike Trail from the Dickey <br />property subdivision to the Luce Line and from Highway 12 north to the school property at a <br />cost estimated at $80,000 to be funded by $29,000 of trail grant funds and $51,000 from the <br />Park Dedication Fund; and to adopt the attached resolution concurring with partial funding of <br />the trail through the Cooperative Trail Grant program. <br />Motion to:A.
