Bids for the Cemetery Access Improvements, Project No. 2007-7

INTRODUCTION:
Attached is Resolution No. 6573, which approves the plans and specifications and
authorizes staff to advertise for bids for the Cemetery Access Improvements, Project No.
2007-7.
BACKGROUND:
On March 16, 2006, City Council was informed of an access problem to the Calvary
Cemetary on Jasper Road and Hauer Trail. Visitors to the cemetery were trespassing on
the adjacent homeowner's property. On June 5, 2006, Mayor Schmitt, Mark McNeill,
Bruce Loney, residents adjacent to the cemetery site on the west side and a board member
of the Calvary Cemetery met to discuss the issue. It was deemed that an access road on
the west side of the cemetery parcel would be the most cost effective and best alternative
for usage by the cemetery patrons. On June 6, 2006, City Council entered into an
extension agreement with WSB & Associates to perform a boundary and' topographic
survey to establish property lines and to determine surface drainage.
Plans have been completed for the project and staff is requesting that City Council
approve the plans and authorize advertisement for bids, with the intent to have the bids be
considered at the March 20, 2007 Council meeting for the work to be done yet this
summer.
