Staff is currently working with the Anoka County Highways and Parks Departments to obtain letters of support for <br />this project, which requires Riverdale Drive to be extended across Anoka County Park property. City staff has <br />received an email confirming that the Anoka County Highway Department will provide a letter of support, but staff <br />continues to work with Anoka County Parks to obtain a letter of support from them. These letters will be submitted <br />with the City's funding application, along with the attached resolution and other required materials. <br />Upon Council authorization to submit an application, staff will enlist the services of Bolton Menk to assist with the <br />preparation of required figures and cost estimates at a not -to -exceed fee of $1,700. See attached proposal for <br />additional information. <br />Alternatives: <br />Alternative #1 - Adopt Resolution #14-12-251 authorizing City staff to submit an application for $750,000 in grant <br />funding from the Local Road Improvement Program Routes of Regional Significance Account to extend Riverdale <br />Drive between Traprock Street and Ramsey Boulevard, south of Highway 10. Staff supports this alternative. <br />Alternative #2 - Deny adoption of Resolution #14-12-251 at this time. Staff does not support this alternative. <br />Funding Source: <br />The estimated cost for extending Riverdale Drive between Traprock Street and Ramsey Boulevard is $1,100,000. If <br />the City successfully obtains the requested grant funding of $750,000, an estimated local match of $350,000 will be <br />required from the City but any local cost share requests would require future Council approval. <br />Costs for completing and submitting the application are limited to $1,700 for the assistance of Bolton Menk. City <br />staff will handle the bulk of the application duties at no additional expense. And it should be noted that if the City is <br />not successful in securing the requested LRIP grant funding, this application can be repurposed to apply for the <br />next round of Cooperative Agreement funding, for which applications are due in April with a maximum funding <br />amount of $702,000. <br />Recommendation: <br />City staff recommends adopting Resolution #14-12-251 authorizing City staff to submit an application for $750,000 <br />in grant funding from the Local Road Improvement Program Routes of Regional Significance Account to extend <br />Riverdale Drive between Traprock Street and Ramsey Boulevard, south of Highway 10 based upon the concept <br />layouts attached. <br />Action: <br />Motion to adopt, or deny adoption of, Resolution # 14-12-251 authorizing City staff to submit an application for <br />$750,000 in grant funding from the Local Road Improvement Program Routes of Regional Significance Account to <br />extend Riverdale Drive between Traprock Street and Ramsey Boulevard, south of Highway 10. <br />Attachments <br />Resolution 14-12-251 <br />LRIP Guide <br />Hwy 10 Study Sheets <br />BoltonMenk Proposal <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 12/04/2014 08:22 AM <br />Form Started By: Bruce Westby Started On: 12/01/2014 09:49 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 12/04/2014 <br />
