required by city ordinance placement of sanitary sewer line is currently being coordinated between Ryan Companies and city staff including the city engineer additionally the city is working with Mindot and Milin Incorporated to secure the necessary right ofway and funding to
connect Second Avenue Northwest with Prime Drive Northwest finally the city and Ryan Company's LLC will enter into a development agreement in accordance with our city ordinance to address the above mentioned items so the action requested tonight

meeting so okay so where where's that drive coming in to be on great it's coming in by Peter quick okay by Peter build there so but it'll be eventually right from you go in and turn at Quickra yep and you'll drive up past Barnes House and you'll eventually go Prime
Drive and then you come back down by Peterbuilt and United Third Buick and all that so it'll make be a big circle okay and then the sidewalk that we talked about in their preliminary plan they only had sidewalks on the south side and but for the last few years we've been trying to put them on both
sides of the street so they're going to look at it and see if there's a reason cuz obviously if there's some purposeful reason why you can't put a sidewalk up there I would I understand it but Ryan so I'm I'm Eddie Wolf with Ryan
Companies representing the developer and the client um good evening since last week uh we did evaluate there isn't any logical reason why we can't so we have made the adjustments to fantastic thank you so we'll be adjusting the drawing to reflect that accurately appreciate it
any other questions for anyone who's at the podium so the street the street that street Craig's talking about addition from Quick Drip up to Peterbuilt that's going to get built like now or the first one will probably be prime will go
northrip over Peterville going east yes mar's going to build from Quaker drip going north okay then we got to connect at the corner we we will be doing the connection of the two yeah so the north segment's outside of our scope it's a
it's designed in conjunction i was just kind of curious how that street how the street system can work out there it's all going to come together so Ryan Companies and their contractor will build the street for Prime Drive east of going east yeah
going east west okay and Mark Schuman's um contractor whoever he gets will do north south yeah and then we are doing our contract that we are still waiting to
hear about funding from Mindot um to do the connection although I've kind of been told it'll happen but we're making it happen it'll all come together uh it's all going to come together so we
will make them come together um and it will make a loop and our utilities the water man will loop um it'll be good okay it'll be a wonderful thing it'll be a beautiful thing ryan companies are excellent people what kind of time frame are you
guys looking at once you get all the approvals we are hoping to break ground uh mid year if we can accelerate that we will certainly look at opportunities to do so when it's pedal to the metal right now
i'm just trying to get through this last hearing this evening and everything else buttoned up did you do your norm drive down from Yes sir savage turn around and go back yes sir i was just up to Savage last night myself yeah I was downtown at the office today then stopped at home
let the dog out here i I have to tell the rest of the council the work we've done with Ryan company so far what an excellent company to work with they are just fantastic people we've had Zoom meetings with them we've had inerson meetings and they're just Eddie here is a great guy to work with i hope you feel
the same way about our staff yeah I was going to say I mimic that not only city staff Jenna the the engineer and it's a breath of fresh air to be quite honest like just working with you all the excitement the receptiveness and and the hard work because there's a lot of steps
in these processes so just very much appreciate it all right with that being said all in favor say I did we do I got so excited it's a wonderful thing and I got excited
you're going to make the most wonderful second jeremiah you second it i'll second you want to put a third on that third all right we got three all in favor i oppose wonderful carries there you are thank you Eddie see you later thank you
have a wonderful year i'll check with you yeah all right perfect thanks next item on our motion is general business resolution approving bids and contract for the 2025 CIP 11th Avenue Northwest city has advertised for bids for the CIP
project that includes 11 towns in Northwest with two alternatives bid letting was held on March 4th 2025 there were 12 contractors that bid on this project this the city used the conventional bidding low bid method for this project you see all 12 in front of
you unbelievable i couldn't believe Mac is in there so this goes out to everybody i was wondering why there were so many on this one anybody that wants to bid on it goes out onto a public system it's called
um call it Quest um and it goes out publicly every year so everybody has the same option no matter what and it's always been like that yep and sometimes we get three and sometimes
we get Sometimes we get three lately we've gotten five to six but having 12 has is a record that I know are hungry and almost all of them it appears came in under your guys'
correct all but one i think this I believe this is happening because of what Eddie said it's a wonderful staff a wonderful engineer well clearly she's all like they all want to work so I'm a little confused on the if I'm getting this right there's the base bid
for what's already determined to be done i guess I don't remember which or alternate one and alternate two okay so alternate one is ex paving the rest of 11th to the south y and alternate 2 is paving the driveway for the land owner
at the south he pass all those are passroughs they are not city funds i get it i get it we're hopefully giving him a better bid by being part of the project to make it cheaper for him and everyone's happy yeah well I get it cool
but it it's really exciting there was 12 we came in what uh 400,000 under wow and somebody who was it that's worked with this company before somebody that you work with or one of our guys actually dylan oh Dylan
all right engineer Dylan has acknowledged of well I shouldn't say Fitzgerald excavating was a low bid and Dylan has acknowled the knowledge of Fitzgerald excavating good he was confident they have a sufficient understanding of the project and equipment to perform this construction
project staff recommends the project be awarded to Fitzgerald excavating and with the alternate two bids which will be split between city island LLC Ke and Eric Bigness a development agreement will be signed prior to the start of the
project start so the action requested would be to approve resolution 2025 a resolution receiving bids and awarding contracts to Fitzgerald excavating for the 2025 CIP project to authorize city administrator Shiml to authorize the development
agreement for alternate bids do we have a motion i'll make a motion do we have a second second questions or any further discussion all in favor say I i
opposed that people to own his place so he would pay from where it goes down his hand besides pay for part of this okay okay
no makes perfect sense all right Brian take back to the uh commissioners they'll be prepared to do 15th Avenue out here the bids are coming in so fantastic because they love working in Stville you could have saved the county
a bunch of money when they helped us out on that all right i I will take that back who is the chairperson is here uh Mark time will you let Mark know that I said that would you mark knows me mark will enjoy knowing I said that
we voted didn't we i'm so excited tonight about this stuff it's just we did all right dnr grant Brim Park inclusive Equipment Grant uh Minnesota DNR grant for inclusive playground equipment prepared by Sander
Grees the park board has requested the city staff research and pursue funding opportunities to help offset the cost associated with adding an inclusive park at Brin Park as part of the board's initiative to enhance accessibility at Bren Park city staff sought multiple estimates for proposed improvements
which include floor and place surfacing and additional inclusive play equipment after careful review the park board has recommended proceeding with the higher estimate from Flagship Recreation while a lower estimate was obtained staff and the board believe the
higher estimate enhances the grant application by showing a wellplanned highquality project the selected vendor has a strong track record and has been highly responsive throughout the process which aligns with grant priorities and improves the chances of securing the
grant and I was also told on that on that same subject that part of the grant did request made in America equipment and the one company is made in America there when they aren't sure if it's all made in America or not so that gave it a little higher priority too if the city
is not awarded the grant the board will reassess the project by reviewing the budget exploring alternative funding options and re-evaluating the estimates to determine the best path forward attached are the copies of the estimates who here is familiar with this grant any
everybody or curious what kind of amount are we looking like will they cover a certain percentage of the of the bill or I fell over when I saw how expensive it is to build a park it's handicapped that's what I mean no and I get it and it looks
really really cool and I asked Sandra this afternoon for the specifics on that um so it would be about half 100 it would come in cheaper if we got the grant to go with the more expensive one right but if we didn't get it we
would reassess maybe go with the cheaper bid then and do the project off the cheaper bit but it would be more expensive if we But like we got this like the the rendering on this so you can wheelchair across the whole thing yes that's awesome that's really cool that's that foam it's like a foam stuff
yeah so and then if you look at the two um competing renderings they're it's actually different equipment too so it's not a apples to apples comparison either you look at that that miracle round in the middle there's only room for one on
that one and the other one had like four so it's much bigger pretty cool swing really cool of course the equipment's all designed so it doesn't catch clothing or a wheel or anything that could cause I could probably this one
and be safe you probably could yeah huh any other discussion or questions all right so council actually requested is the park board is requesting city council approval to move forward with the higher estimate for the accessibility park grant application for
Green Park so all they're asked that they can move forward with applying for the grant yet for the hire yeah I'll make a motion to approve that we have a motion do we have a second second any other discussion or questions all in favor say I i oppos that will carry
that'll be pretty cool if that goes another exciting thing all right makes us motions general business the mayor staff himself reports mayor's report sympathies to the families from the city
