AGENDA ITEM #9.2 c��y of Pequot Lakes_ REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL Report Prepared by: Tim Houle Date: January 7, 2020 Subiect: Rasmussen Road & South Washington Avenue Improvement Project Update Report: The following are several updates on the Rasmussen Road and South Washington Avenue Improvement Project. • Advertising / Bid Opening Schedules - We are still shooting for bids to be opened on Tuesday, January 28th. There are still details being worked on, and depending on questions from bidders, we might need to push it back a week or two. We are planning on advertising once in the Pine and Lakes Echo Journal on Thursday, January 9, 2020 as well as on QuestCDN (an on-line service that contractors check). • Acquiring Right-of-Way (R/W) - As previously mentioned, there are places where there is no formal R/W. The Study's project cost did include an estimate of the cost (survey, legal, acquisition) to formalize and obtain R/W and easements. As part of our scope, we are preparing survey descriptions of the area needed for R/W and permeant easements. While not part of our scope, we are working with City staff on communicating with those property owners the City needs to acquire R/W and easements from. The approximate number of parcels involved is 21. • Proposed Parking Change / Layout for South Washington's First Block - As we proceeded into final design, there was concern on fitting both 90 degree parking on the east and parallel parking (at least in the northern half next to the Legion) on the west. We have eliminated the proposed parallel parking on the west and have laid out 90 degree parking stalls on the east. We will have the same number of stalls before versus after. We request Council consensus on this.
