NAVARRE SIDEWALK UPDATE <br /> Stxuve stated in response to a question raised at the July 23`�City Council meeting regarding the proposed <br /> sidewalk connection between Dakota Trail and the sidewalk at,Lyric Avenue,he has met with staff from <br /> Bolton and Menk and discussed what options are available to complete this connection. The conclusion <br /> reached was that a large,modular block retaining wall would be the most economical method to allow for <br /> the construction of a new sidewalk. <br /> The unit prices as outlined by the 2011 estimate accurately reflect the current bidding climate. T'here may <br /> be an opportunity to reduce the 30 percent contingency and fees,but overall the unit prices for the <br /> sidewalk portion seem reasonable. Struve indicated there are some minor changes that can be <br /> implemented but that those would only amount to approximately a$10,000 cost savings. <br /> Rahn stated he was hoping some new technology may be on the market that would help reduce the costs. <br /> Struve stated the other option would be a poured in place concrete wall with some decorative stamping. <br /> • The cost for a modular wall would be 32 to 40 dollars per square foot and a poured wall would range <br /> from 45 to 53 dollazs per square and would add some significant dollars to the project. <br /> Rahn noted the poured wall would also extend further into the residents' properties. <br /> Franchot asked whether the City would need to work with Hennepin County as it relates to the right-of- <br /> way. <br /> Struve indicated they would still need to work with Hennepin County's permitting process since the <br /> sidewalk would be located within the right-of-way. <br /> Franchot stated it was his understanding Hennepin County was not interested in donating financially to <br /> the sidewalk project. <br /> Struve stated his understanding is that Hennepin County was not interested in funding any of the project <br /> but that they would be willing to work with Orono on the right-of-way. <br /> Bremer stated that is her recollection as well. <br /> Loftus commented that Three Rivers District might be interested in assisting fmancially with the project. <br /> — --- Page 8 of 11 -- <br />
