improvements to the park as a part of the Parks and Library
referendum. On January 20, 1998 the Council authorized Brauer and

construction at Lakefront Park. On June 1, 1998 the City Council
authorized the preparation of plans and specifications.

REVIEWED BY:
George Watson will be present at the City Council meeting to present
a summary of the plans and specification to the council and audience.
If Councilmembers desire more detailed review, please contact me so
arrangements can be made in3;dvance of the Tuesday meeting.
The Issues
The pending issue at this time is the acquisition of a small portion
(2.16 acres) of the Kop farm which is necessary to construct the park
entrance in the location which was identified in the Lakefront Park
Master Plan. Council amendment of Resolution 98-99 will allow the
staff to continue to negotiate with the Kops for acquisition of this
property. Should negotiation prove unsuccessful, the title to the
property would be transferred to the city in ninety days. This time line
will affect neither the bidding process nor construction.
Conclusion
Brauer and Associates confirms that the current bidding climate is
positive and recommends that we proceed. If Council approves this
agenda item we would immediately advertise for bids and set a bid
opening date for March 16. Award of bid would be presented to the
council at the April 5th meeting. This schedule, barring unforeseen
circumstances would allow us to begin construction in May and
complete the majority of work by late Fall.
