APPROVE STATE OF MINNESOTA AGENCY AGREEMENTS NO. 97372 AND NO. 97438
BETWEEN THE CITY OF LAKEVILLE AND DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Safe Routes to School, City Improvement Project 08 -09
Proposed Action
Staff recommends approval of the attached Resolution Approving State of Minnesota Agency
Agreements No. 97372 for Federal Participation in Preliminary Engineering and No, 97438 for
Federal Participation in Force Account with Department of Transportation, pertaining to the Safe
Routes to School grant, City Improvement Project 08 -09.
Overview
Safe Routes to School is a program created through the federal transportation bill designed to
improve the condition and quality of bicycling and walking to school. In 2008, the City of
Lakeville was awarded a non - infrastructure grant in the amount of $50,000 to complete a study
to identify locations where infrastructure improvements are most needed. Based upon the
results of that study, the City applied for and was granted a subsequent grant in the amount of
$175,000. This included $143,000 for construction, $3,000 for education and enforcement, and
$29,000 for engineering. All engineering will be performed by City Staff except for consulting
services needed for design of the push button activiated pedestrian crossing signal to be
constructed at 175 St. and Highview Ave,
The Agency Agreements allow MnDOT to act as the City's agent in accepting federal aid in
connection with the Safe Routes to School improvements. Agency Agreement No. 97372
allocates $6,000 of federal funding for the City to retain an engineering consultant to prepare the
plans for the pedestrian traffic signal, Agency Agreement No. 97438 is a Force Account that
allocates $23,000 in federal funds for City Staff to recover time and materials for design and
administration, including s3,000 for education, enforcement and evaluation. Once the plans have
been completed and approved by MnDOT, a subsequent agreement will be forthcoming for the
construction of the project.
