Signage $ 7,200 <br />Restoration and Landscaping $ 4,000 <br />Contingency $ 54,690 <br />Boardwalk (if needed) $ 140,000 <br />Building with Restrooms $ 430,000 <br />Total $ 988,090 <br />It is estimated that the five year operations and maintenance costs for this project will be $6,700 <br />a year. Day -to -day operational needs include litter and graffiti removal and trail surface cleaning <br />(snow and debris). Long -term maintenance costs will include seal coating, crack filing and <br />resurfacing. The funds for operations and maintenance costs will be from the City's Park <br />Maintenance Fund 452. The restroom facility to be constructed as part of this project will be <br />maintained in collaboration between the City and Northern Lights Soccer. <br />36. <br />Project Timeline: <br />• Detail design and engineering Winter 2012 <br />• Clearing and site preparation Summer 2012 <br />• Trail construction — Fall 2012 /Spring 2013 <br />• Landscaping and restoration Spring 2013 <br />• Open for public use Spring 2013 <br />37. <br />Project Readiness: <br />This project can be undertaken as soon as funding is secured. The trail and restroom facilities <br />were identified on the City's Park & Trail Plan, which was adopted as part of the updated 2030 <br />Comprehensive Plan. Preliminary engineering was completed to determine the preferred trail <br />alignment along the western side of MN Hwy 47 /St. Francis Boulevard. No land acquisition is <br />necessary since the trail will generally be constructed within the public road right -of -way and the <br />restrooms will be constructed within Elmcrest Park. Depending on final design, a small trail <br />easement may be needed over a retail center's property at the southwestern corner of 167 <br />Avenue and MN Hwy 47 /St. Francis Boulevard; (but is not critical for construction). As <br />demonstrated by the attached letter of support, the Minnesota Department of Transportation has <br />preliminarily approved the proposed alignment and use of the right -of -way with a notation that a <br />limited use permit will be required for the project. No additional approvals are needed for the <br />construction of this trail project. Detailed design and engineering will begin this winter in order <br />that clearing and site preparation can occur in Summer 2012. Trail construction would occur <br />over two construction seasons – Fall 2012 and Spring 2013 – with landscaping and restoration <br />work completed in Spring 2013. It is anticipated that the trail will be open for public use in <br />Spring 2013. <br />Revised 12/7/2010 <br />Page 4 <br />
