The projected <br />breakdown of costs include: <br />Mobilization and Surveying $ 36,700 <br />Clearing and Grubbing $ 2,250 <br />Earthwork $ 45,000 <br />Utilities $ 4,500 <br />Trail Construction $ 132,400 <br />Signage and Striping $ 18,900 <br />Restoration and Landscaping $ 3,000 <br />Contingency $ 36,400 <br />Total $ 279,150 <br />It is estimated that the five-year operations and maintenance costs for this project will be $5,200 <br />a year. Day-to-day operational needs include litter and graffiti removal and trail surface cleaning <br />(snow or debris). Long-term maintenance costs will include seal coating, crack filling and <br />resurfacing. The funds for operations and maintenance costs will be from the City's Park <br />Maintenance Budget. <br />36. Project Timeline: <br />The City will be able to complete construction by Spring 2013 based on the following 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. Project Readiness: <br />This trail project can be undertaken as soon as funding is secured. The trail was identified on the <br />City's Master Park & Trail Plan, which was adopted as part of the updated 2030 Comprehensive <br />Plan. Preliminary engineering has been completed to determine the preferred trail alignment <br />along the eastern side of County Road 83/Armstrong Boulevard. No land acquisition is necessary <br />since the trail will be constructed within the public road right-of-way. The City constructed a <br />trail from County Road 116/Bunker Lake Boulevard north to Alpine Drive in 2011, as well as <br />trails west on Alpine Drive, and further west on Puma Street. Securing this grant will allow the <br />City to advance their plans for the trail's second phase and begin construction of the Central Park <br />connection. <br />Revised 8/9/2011 Page 4 <br />
