I1 <br /> <br />ll <br /> <br />Compensation <br /> Grant Experience <br /> <br />LHB Trail Construction Grant List <br />LHB has extensive experience working with all types of federal and state funding including <br />many ISTEA and TEA-21 enhancement grants, as well as numerous MnDNR funding <br />programs within State Parks and Trails and Waterways initiatives. We are famili,q~ with the <br />procedures of these funding programs and understand the importance of the small details <br />to allow the project to proceed efficieatly. Below are a few examples of our applicable <br />experience. <br />· Most transportation related projects include some form of federal or state funding. We <br /> are familbr with the many various programs and the ability to combine them to leverage <br /> federal and state dollars with local funds. <br />· The Moose Lake Trail is a trail designed by LHB that is currently under construction. It <br /> utilized a number o f different sources o£ fundingincluding one of the largest enhancement <br /> grants awarded since the beginning of the program under ISTEA. Other funding sources <br /> included LCMR funding administered by DNR Trails and Water,rays, state bonding <br /> funds administered through DNR State Parks, county general funds, townskip general <br /> funds, Mn.DOT Trunk Highway funds, and city general funds. The federal enhancement <br /> fund for this project totaled about $625,000. <br />· The Munger Trail through the City of Carlton was designed by DNR with the construction <br /> obse~ation and documentation being performed by LI423. This project includes federal <br /> enhancement funds and state funds. <br />· For the Gitcki-Gami Trail, LI-LB was hired to work with the Schroeder/Tofte/Lutsen <br /> Tourist and Business Association to create an application for enhancement funds for a <br /> trail from Schroeder to Grand Marals. LHB downloaded the lVLnDOT mapping for the <br /> trunk highway and worked with the association and communities to devdop the <br /> conceptual alignment for the initial grant request. <br />· LHB has performed the engineering for many Cook County bridge projects. These <br /> projects have used combinations of primarily federal STP funds, County State Aid funds, <br /> and local funds. <br />° Other projects in the Grand Marals ~ea have included work for the Superior National <br /> Forest such as their Gunflint Administration Building and reconstruction of the Sawbi/1 <br /> Trail. These projects uti/iv, ed Forest Service general funds, federal transportation funds <br /> and County State Aid funds. <br /> <br />Grant Funding Sources - Wilderness Inquiry <br />Wilderness Inquiry has been very successful at receiving funding to provide the information <br />necessary to allow people o£ all abilities to choose whether an outdoor recreation activity. <br />or environment is accessible to them. Wilderness Inquiry has trained federal, state, county, <br />municipal and private agency personnel in the theory and methods of providing Universal <br />Programming opportunities to their constituents. Through these programs, Wilderness <br />inquiry hopes to create an outdoor recreation environment that allows people of all abilities <br />to recreate in their preferred manner, without destroying the integrity of that natural <br />environment. <br /> <br />State Grant Success Rate (1995 - 2001) <br />LCMR Grant Proposals = 4 Other State Funding Proposals = 3 <br />LCMR Grants Received = 4 Other State Funding Received = 3 <br /> <br />LCMR and Other State Funding Success Rate = 100% <br /> <br />-285- <br /> <br /> <br />
