Sunwood Drive is an MSA street. Plans require MnDOT State Aid approval prior to opening bids. Staff estimates that once City Council orders plans and specifications, plans can be produced in approximately 4 weeks as part of staff's normal duties. The MnDOT State Aid review time is typically 4 to 6 weeks. Due to the severe interruptions this work will cause to Sunwood Drive, staff recommend work starting after the Happy Days event, which will be held on Saturday, September 6th Y Y� p If for some reason plans were not ready for bidding in August to start in early September, they would be available for early winter bidding and early spring 2026 construction. Notification: No notifications are required with this case. Time Frame/Observations/Alternatives: Time Frame: Staff anticipates up to 15 minutes are required to present information on the case and answer any questions from the committee.
