INTRODUCTION: On July 17 2012 City Council awarded a contract to Krueger Excavating for the Upper Valley Drainageway and Trail Improvement project by CR 17. BACKGROUND: During the course of the project, property owners nearby asked if the City was going to make a connecting trail from Ramsey Street to the Upper Valley Trail System. Staff did investigate and evaluate the need for a trail connection and did find that City's storm sewer and sanitary sewer system could utilize a maintenance trail connection in this area as well as a pedestrian connection. Staff did evaluate the design for a trail connection to the Upper Valley Trail from Ramsey Street and would recommend that this be an eight foot wide concrete trail connection to support city maintenance vehicles and to withstand the water flow over the sidewalk from the channel. Staff then proceeded to contact the Country Inn and Suite hotel owners to see if they would be willing to provide an easement for this maintenance trail connection. The hotel owner had indicated that they are willing to sign an easement since there already is a large drainage and utility easement in this area. Staff did discuss the proposed change to the project with Krueger Excavating and has received an estimated cost of $15,500. Staff would recommend that Council approve a change order amount addition to the contract in an amount of $20,000 to cover any unforeseen additional cost or quantity adjustments of the estimate. DISCUSSION: The main issue with this item would be whether or not the City Council agrees with staff in the construction of a maintenance trail in this area from Ramsey Street to the Upper Valley Trail that could also be used by nearby residents and property owners. ntenance trail connection from Ramsey Street to the $20,000 to the original contract to be used for ntity adjustments for the project. his maintenance trail connection. nage Fund for this maintenance trail connection and and No. 2., in order to make a maintenance trail Valley Trail and contingent upon the City receiving maintenance trail connection.
