RESOLUTION #2020-51
Resolution approving 10’ trail with three runs of re-bar from Highway 38 Bridge to the current High School crossing and authorizing pursuit of competitive quotations and also seeking a bid alternative to extend the trail from the High School crossing to the Cemetery exit roadway.
WHEREAS, The City Council has considered various trail extension options on the north side of Hwy. 38 / Oak Street to improve pedestrian travel to and from the High School and now Middle School campus, and
WHEREAS, The Council finds it appropriate to seek competitive quotations to extend the trail from the Highway 38 bridge on the East to the current high school crossing at El Camino Real, and
WHEREAS, The Council finds that City staff is capable of installing crossing beacon systems at the High School crossing and that staff shall take steps to ensure that said work is completed before the completion of the trail project, that the cost related to said work being undertaken by the City if added to the cost of the trail project would not require that competitive bids be obtained for the project, and that the separation of the flashing beacon purchase and installation is not being done to avoid the competitive bidding process, and
WHEREAS, The Council finds that competitive quotes should be requested for a 10’ trail with 3 runs of re-bar from Highway 38 Bridge to the current High School crossing and also seeking a bid alternative to extend the trail from the High School crossing to the Cemetery exit roadway, with quotes to be delivered to the City by no later than May 13, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. for consideration by the City Council at the Regular Council meeting set for May 18, 2020 at 6:00 p.m.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Monticello, Iowa does hereby direct the City Administrator to work with the City Engineer to add bid alternate for all improvements originally proposed east of the crossing to the High School to the Cemetery exit roadway for use in obtaining competitive quotations.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed hereto. Done this 20th Day of April, 2020.
