Memorandum
To: Margaret Kelly
From: John McCarthy, Budget Analyst
Subj ect: GS# 3109696 — Marshall Ave. Bike Lanes Federal-State Funding Agreement
Date: May 20, 2010
Attached is a resolution from Public Works related to federal funding for the Marshall
Ave. Bike Lanes project. If approved the resolution would: 1) allow MnDOT to act as
the City's agent in accepting federal funds, and 2) authorize Public Works to enter into an
agreement with the State to establish the terms of the funding arrangement. Public
Works would like to have ciry staff complete the sign and lighting portion of the Marshall
Ave. Bike Lanes project. Allowing City staff to perform the work will save Public
Works money, but it requires the City to enter into the above-referenced agreement with
MnDOT. This resolution will accomplish the necessary steps to allow Public Works
personnel to perform sign and lighting work on the project. OK to sign.
